Episode Description from the Publisher

Are you allowing New Year’s Resolutions to steal your peace of mind?  I am getting honest about a recent health diagnosis and why I am choosing simple, meaningful goals over the high pressure of New Year’s traditions. While I am busy in production for Season 9, I am sharing a special collection of my Experimental Stories, which are personal, intimate, and designed to explore the true places within us all. Key Takeaways The Resolution Trap: Why I believe resolutions are too weighty and how gyms actually bank on you quitting after just three weeks. Goals Over Resolutions: My approach to setting a few manageable goals to ensure life is about living, not just moving from one stressful goal to the next. Experimental Storytelling: An introduction to a personal style of narrative that deals with the passage of time, loss, and finding hope in the middle of a storm. Honesty and Connection: Why I believe being open about my own struggles helps others and how you can share your feedback with me. I encourage you to subscribe to the podcast on your favorite app so you are the first to know when Season 9 launches.
