It's good and important to process our experiences, but no one can stay in the hard parts of their story forever. In this season finale we talk about 3 signs it's time to take a break, and what that can actually look like.

Let's stay connected after the season!

• Bethany has some exciting things coming up in the new year
• Charissa has a bundle of Audio Affirmations for the holidays, available to download later this week.

Find out more about these offers and other resources we’ve been brainstorming as they become available -- sign up at charissabrim.com/tellmemore and bethanyfray.com.
