How to Keep Cool in a Tough Moment: A self-defense expert breaks it down

Possibly our most-useful episode ever. A listener asked: How do I remain cool when calling insurance companies?

Lauren Taylor talks us through some of her top strategies, and how she used them this year in her own epic health-insurance fight.
