Within her talk, Samantha talks about how adjusting to new “mental atmospheres” aren’t always easy, and that we all feel like changing according to the atmosphere. She explains adjusting by comparing it to a cup of water with an ice cube in it. She tells us how to make it through these atmospheres, and how she did it herself.
