Episode 77 Becoming Wildly Resilient Practice: Giving and Receiving

Listen as host Amy Rodquist-Kodet, a health coach with UK HR Health and Wellness, shares helpful, research-based practices and tools for giving and receiving with more intentionality and joy! 

According to research, when we are generous with our time, talents, money, or creativity, we foster a sense of generosity. Generosity and gift giving are linked to improved psychological health, happiness, well-being, greater vitality, social connections and improved physical health. Generosity even boosts the immune system and decreases stress! 

Each month, Amy will explain a new practice you can try to build your resilience and thrive more; thanks for listening!
