The New Year can often feel like a lot of hype around New Year’s Resolutions and suddenly turning ourselves into completely different versions of ourselves. I have so often set myself up for failure by creating such expectations that are not even humanly possible and then feeling shame when I haven’t followed through on said expectations by week 1 of the New Year.

Today on the Celebrating Simple Life Podcast we are continuing our series on how to thrive, even when it's hard.
Lately, I’ve been feeling a bit of a disconnect with you and the show and I want to change that. So today I’m talking about things happening in my life which I have not been sharing (fully) on the show. I hope by sharing, vulnerably these truths, that we can grow together. I want to feel comfortable fully being who I am and I want that for you as well. Just by creating this podcast and putting this out there, the fears that get in the way have begun to disappear, creating a better connection to you have already faded. This episode is perfect for anyone who is curious about the things I’ve been afraid to share on the show in recent months, so I hope you tune in!
