I want to share my story in case it can help you think about whether you should take a leave from work. ...

I have a much easier time getting over frustrating situations, am kinder to myself, and am happier overall! This course has made such a big impact on my life – I am forever grateful to have found it!– Cindy, Program/Product Manager
