When you are ready to get the results you want, you won't worry about what you look like in the process. Until you're there, you don't really want the results, or rather, you're trying to show results before you've earned them. 

Imagine what your day would be like if you did all the things you look forward to at the start of your day? Sure, you can 5 AM club all you want, but is all that list checking feeding your soul like spending some time doodling would? It's your time, you don't have to DO anything, you get to be in your heart. And please forgive me, I forgot to include lip syncing...start your day with a lip sync battle with yourself in the mirror and I challenge you not to be a in great mood the rest of the day :)

This super mini episode is going out today because I'm so excited to be back. There is a huge hint as to why I've been on a podcast vacation for this year, as well as the promise of great things to come. What's most important is the biggest lesson I learned in 2022 that I'm thrilled to share with you. 

As we approach the end of January, anyone who decided to take a month off booze is likely chilling their fave drink right now. I'm hoping to extend the period and work on being #sobercurious. This episode talks about why I chose to do this now and how the term #juicyjanuary by Mia Birdsong helped me reframe the month. 

During the episode I share resources to help you on your journey. This all started with "Quit Like a Woman" by Holly Whitaker  and a post about #juicyjanuary by Mia Birdsong.  I had the great fortune to attend a webinar with Ruby Warrington who coined the term #sobercurious and wrote the next book I'll listen to: The Sober Curious Reset.  To keep the fun rolling this month, I discovered some great non-alcoholic bevs: Gruvi and Harmon's Craft NA Beer. 

If alcohol is taking up too much brain space in your life, I invite you to join me on this journey. You don't have to exclaim that you'll never drink again, but you might find the urge to do some diminishes greatly leaving lots of time and energy for more of life's gifts. 

New year, same program. The modules of G School work.

This first episode of the year is dedicated to sharing how you can use the modules to help you toward the way you want to be, feel and act. Mentioned in this episode:

Season 2 starts off with the reason that Season 1 ended abruptly. Even for resilient folks who can always forge ahead, sometimes it's that forging that takes ALL your energy and focus. Listen in to here what the great lesson of 2021 has been. There were parts of the lesson that were hard for me to learn because they revealed a part of my personality I didn't know existed. Thankfully, it's often this exact type of reflection that helps us guide our choices and decisions in a way that we can be proud of to create a life of harmony. 

When I was a kid, that was a harsh way to tell someone they didn't have control of their life. In this episode I invite you to get a grip, to hold on tight. We need to support ourselves and each other with reminders that it's important to hold fast and that it's a basic human need right now. 

Spending time with positive and creative people is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves. In this episode with Jenna "Cakes", she shares a simple mindset shift that has laid the foundation for having a fun and upbeat life. Listen in for how to bring some sweetness your way!

You don't have to wait until you've completed a course to celebrate graduating to a new level. It's not always about a promotion or certification; it's about recognizing your own goals and celebrating reaching them.
