I traveled all the way to austin from houston to attend the second Uncorked Conversations event with Mindful Bridges. They have a team of experts that came and gave us all insight on how to show up in spaces with the right midset and ways that our mental health can effect us in our work relationships and personal relationships. I cant wait for the next one
