Today's episode is a little bit different. I think reflection is so important, so as we come to the end of the year, I'm asking questions and guiding you through a reflection on this year, along with encouraging you to set intentional goals based in what truly matters to you. We even end with one of my favorite things: a surrender list as we move to next year!

Today we're talking all about working from home - I give 10 different tips total (okay, really 12 if you count the first 2 that apply across the board), but we break it up into two different sections. I've worked from home in some way, shape, or form for four years now. I worked part time in the margins of my full time job, then in the margins of stay at home motherhood, and now I work full time from home. While all 10 can probably apply to most situations, the first five apply more to full time...

A short encouragement today - that you don't always have to strive to be and do all the things. In a season of change and transition, or in any season where you have a lot on your plate - if there's something you're striving for that is overwhelming you, this is an encouragement to table it for now. You don't have to fully let it go - just set it aside til things are less chaotic and you can decide to pick it up again. Listen in for more as we continue talking about seasons of change and transit...
