How do you keep your cool when life throws curveballs at you? In this episode of 'Tough Love', Federica Leonardis sits down with Paul Bulos, a publishing professional and a seasoned coach, to explore just that.

Federica and Paul dive into practical tips, from mindfulness practices to setting healthy boundaries, that can help anyone facing similar struggles. If you're curious about how to balance life's demands without losing your sanity, this conversation is for you.
