What a JOURNEY!! Take Nothing When I Die hit SO MANY MILESTONES!

Firstly, on January 8, 2022, I will be celebrating Take Nothing When I Die becoming a TODDLER! Join me for the sunset/rebirth celebration from 12 pm - 2 pm US CT.  There will be giveaways, former guests, VIP shout outs and more!

Also, I would love to give a shout-out to my Season 2 guests whose wisdom breathes life into their episode, me, and you, the listeners! The gems that were dropped in this podcast: WHEWWW!!!!  Nothing is being left in that graveyard and for that, I am eternally thankful!

Conscious Uncoupling - Have you uncoupled from anything or anyone in your life that was good but not great? Have you considered how you would move on from something that you like but don't love? 2. Showing Up - How do you show up, even when you don't know where things are headed? 3. Availability - As you make the transition, what will it take to make yourself available for what's to come?
