Karen Laurie’s Interview Portion

When is it okay not to be okay and when is it not okay to be not okay?

You know sometimes, it’s hard to move on especially that if we lost our loved ones; when we are depressed; when we have anxiety – but most of all, when we want to move forward in life. You know my favorite saying in the movie (of) Disney – Inside Out is “embrace your sadness” because in embracing your sadness, you will feel ahhh… you will feel happiness afterwards.
