Episode description

In this episode, I introduce the Surviving to Thriving Framework and interview Megan Dilworth about how this framework has impacted her life. Megan is a wife and mother of three kids (ages 2-7) who is a member of The Thriving Team. She is a photographer, graphic designer, and lover of DIY projects.

Key Points from this Episode:

Surviving to Thriving Framework:
- All the steps are important. There is no time frame on this path. We all will repeat this path over and over throughout our lives.
- 1. Surviving
  - circumstances, not mindset
- 2. Re-entry
  - Uncomfortable transition between surviving and trying to get back into real life
- 3. Normalizing
  - Basic routines
- 4. Exploring
  - Establishing family culture and finding out what you love
- 5. Thriving
  - Enjoy the beautiful moments. The seasons that feel like things are going well.
Believing things are temporary will help us be more optimistic. These are temporary stages in our lives!
Its okay to drop ideas that aren’t serving you. It’s okay to try new things, even if they don’t end up lasting.
The act of writing things down helps us remember.
