This is the last episode of the season! Thank you so much for all your support. We will be back on the podcast with the very first episode of season 2 on January 13th, but until then I will still be hanging out on Instagram every so often.
In elementary school my teachers had this poster on the wall that said “Everything I need to know, I learned in Kindergarten.” I think I only got a tenth of the way through it, because there were just so many words on it, but today I applied that same message to episode 15 as I talked about how I applied 1st grade lessons to Christmas. Here is a spoiler: you deserve to enjoy Christmas too.
What’s it all about?
Here are the top 3 tips:
1. Edit Down to the Most important
Remember when you (or your kids) tried to learn how to write? This point is based on that (fun) experience.
2. There is a difference between a want and a need
Stick to the needs - appreciate the wants.
3. There is a difference between a fact and an opinion
Don’t let other’s opinions of what you “should” do control your happiness.

Quotes "How can you really love someone if you don’t love the pieces of them that are different from you - if you are only connecting on what’s the same, them your relationship might be pretty shallow.
