In this episode, Michele discusses the following:

2. Assessing to see what is needed from you as a listener or helper in certain situations, and how to approach the situation.
3. Improving and becoming the best version of ourselves even with the negativity that is surrounding us in the world. What are you gracious and appreciative for?
