Life Isn’t Always Instant Oatmeal with Dr. Anastasia Ristau

Sometimes we expect life to be simple. For things to just work out. We look around, and everything appears so simple for everyone else. Why does it feel so hard for me? 

In this week's episode, Dr. Anastasia Ristau pushes back on this idea a bit and talks about how life isn't always instant oatmeal. Perhaps it's more like a pot of stovetop oats that we have to tend to, season, and nurture. A much more involved process that features the full array of human emotions. 

Dr. Ristau is a Licensed Psychologist, and the Director of Psychotherapeutics at PrairieCare. 

As always - take what serves you from this conversation, and leave the rest.
