In this episode we’re back with part two of my conversation with special guest, Dr. Terry Wardle.

We learn:

  • How our brain shifts gears when we’ve experienced something a few times
  • The important first step to begin living in the present moment
  • How the simple act of eating an orange can help you practice being in the presence of God.
