Act to Live

Summary: On this episode of Act To Live, Scott and Jaime talk about the concept of ‘holding space.’ The duo shares their thoughts about what it means to hold space for oneself and others. Scott talks about the ways in which mindful and intentional daily practice of holding space for himself helps him to be better able to hold space for others. Jaime talks a bit about how, at the moment in her life, holding space for herself seems much more difficult and more daunting than holding space for others.
