Because last week’s live episode was so fun, we’re doing it all again! This time with my friend, colleague, and return guest, Dr. Shyamala Kiru!
Dr. Shyamala is a family and couple’s therapist who has been in practice for over a decade. The focus of her work is on how to develop lasting, high-performance relationships — whether it’s with your boss, your friends, your children, or your partner.
Right now we’re all facing something totally unprecedented: an unlimited amount of quality time to spend with the people we love! With the advent of COVID-19 and the escalating efforts to contain it, we are all being asked to stay home. And what that is doing is putting a different kind of pressure on our close relationships. And, especially as entrepreneurs, there are so many pieces that we need to balance. In this episode, Dr. Shyamala Kiru is sharing with us how we can not only navigate these important relationships in our lives but how we can actually invest in them — turning them into high-performing relationships. If you’re finding this time especially difficult, you’re not going to want to miss today’s episode!

BADASS FUEL — Fuel for Badass Women
Scientifically Supported Ingredients | Support, Not Replacement | Non-GMO
Two years ago, someone asked me what supplements I take to maintain my health, energy, and edge — and they were surprised that I only took four things consistently. For myself and my patients, there are four basics that support — at a foundational level — nearly every system in our bodies. In my quest for the highest quality ingredients and the easiest system for consistently incorporating supplementation to my routine, I formulated and manufactured my own line of foundational supplements. Trusted for myself and my patients, and under the guidance of your own healthcare provider, I’m excited to invite you to check out our foundational product line: Badass Basics. Learn more or order the products yourself by visiting BadassFuel.com!
