HoFer Indorses Mental Wellbeing
“You know how you build muscle in the gym, imagine you could do the same thing but this (Nestre app) is the new gym and your brain is the muscle. I think the one thing this app has helped me with is my emotional intelligence. I think that where you stand mentally, understanding what your triggers are, it helps with your communication.”
