Lows come with the highs in life—they're inevitable. Although a natural part of the human experience, we don't always feel like we have the tools to effectively get through the lows as quickly as we'd like. In today's episode, Jonathon opens up about his own recent experience of going through some tough lows, which naturally leads to a conversation about the tools we both use to get through these moments as fast as possible. There are some helpful tips and tricks in here, for anyone going through a bit of a low moment themselves—we hope they prove to be useful for you, and that they get you back on track ASAP. :)
