BONUS: Just Surviving Is Enough Right Now

To make up for last week, I want to remind you that if all you're doing is surviving right now, that is enough. You don't have to perfect your bread recipe, learn a new language, declutter and organize your garage, or start that side hustle you've been meaning to launch. Just BEING right now in these trying and unsure times is totally enough. Don't feel pressured to do more than just survive if that's all you can do. Hugs, and I'm here for you.

Like how to find yourself when you're not at all feeling like yourself anymore. Definitely cried a couple of times, so fair warning - it's sad. And I say a couple of mild swear words. Big hugs.

012 // Reflecting for a Better Future

in this episode, I reflect on how much my life has changed over the last six years. How my goals, my outlook on life, and how what's important to me have shifted. And I even throw in a bonus real-life story of how I had to set a boundary, which I wouldn't have done in the past. 

As a heads-up, there's one S-bomb, so if that will bother you, feel free to skip this one. But I think it's an important episode regardless and hope you'll listen.

In this episode, I remind you that multitasking is not a thing. I talk about how not doing it leads to getting more done even if you don’t think it will.

006 // Perfection

In this episode, we dive into perfection - what it is, where I think mine comes from, and how I work with it instead of against it. I hope this episode inspires you to take a look at your own perfectionist tendencies and give yourself permission to start small, commit to less, and suck sometimes. Let’s do it.
