Surviving an ice storm-how a different angle can change perspective

Chris and Angela are back for episode 2 of The Slight Shift Show. They dive into the literal and metaphorical "shift" caused by a massive winter storm. While Chris enjoyed the powdery snow in New York, Angela found herself battling an "ice mountain" in Virginia.

Through a frustrating ordeal involving broken plows and unhelpful contractors, Angela shares a powerful realization. When the heavy sledgehammer fails, a slight shift in angle with a simple child's spade can lead to a massive breakthrough.

What lessons can we take away when uncertainty arrives?
