Today’s episode begins Season 2 with a reflection on the gap in episodes, my personal reinvention, and a discussion of expectations, uncovering roots, and the mismatch between internal and external steps. Your reinvention will not look from the outside as it feels on the inside. And that’s how it’s meant to work. || LINKS MENTIONED|| ⁠⁠⁠– ⁠How We Define Brokenness Wrongly: The Pressure We Put On Ourselves… Read More »Uncovering Myths of Completing Reinvention: Lessons in Unique Timing | #57

How to Improve Your Life Without Self-Discipline

Ever heard of self-care described as self-parenting? It’s kind of true, isn’t it? I don’t currently have children, but I have a husband and two cats.
