Have you ever asked yourself, "How am I doing in life"? If you're like us, you've probably wondered this a million times. You may get to work in the morning, take care of your kids or spouse, but where are YOU in all of this? In the first episode of #WorkInProgress we decided to assess ourselves…the good, the bad, and the ugly. Join us as we talk to Lekie Dwanyen, MS, to understand what is the state of the state? What needs to change? What stays the same? And what does that mean?
