The "Consumption Connection" and The State of Our World; with Amy Rivera
Amy Rivera founder of Rivera Hybrid Solutions and I take a deep dive into what I call the “Consumption Connection.” Our consumption; food, drink, air, media, video games, social toxicity, deception, division and SO much more coincides directly with much of the craziness and disruption we see in our world today. Coincidence? Probably not. When we change for the better, make better Critical Decisions and move towards better health body mind and spirit we can greatly impact all the negativity in a powerful and positive way. The first step to any change? We must become aware of the issues that are holding us back from our own greatness. This discussion is the beginning and will generate the necessary momentum to keep us moving forward. We cannot let negative illusions overcome us. And it begins and ends with the “Consumption Connection.” The Revive & Sustain Wellness App and Corporate Wellness Programs: “Anti-Diet; The Paradigm Has Shifted" on Robert’s new book on Amazon: “Drop The Skirt” by Amy Rivera on Amazon:
