I didn't want to end this series without sharing what is perhaps my favorite story from Greg's books because I felt so personally called out by it (in a good way!). I have thought about it often in the years since I read it, and so I wanted to read it to you today as well. 

Listen in to hear about Kind Gustav II and his warship the Vasa.

As we head into a new year, I, like perhaps many of you, am feeling pulled to get back to basics--back to the essence of my life and what I want and the work that is most essential for me to be doing, both inside and outside my home.

That's what has pulled me back to a book that I read almost a decade ago called Essentialism by Greg McKeown. He is my guest on the show next week talking about his second book, but I wanted to introduce him this week by talking about his first book, which I think is especially needed at this time of year.

The old saying goes that "moms shouldn't be allowed to get sick"…because it's nearly impossible to take care of our families when we aren't feeling well ourselves. But unfortunately, moms do get sick. Sometimes very sick, for long periods of time. When that happens, what's a mom supposed to do, so she can care for herself and her children?

I have a big calendar that hangs in my kitchen that shows several months at a time, and it cracks me up that at the top of this season's calendar spread, it literally says "Busiest Time Ever." That is what the calendar makers labeled October-December rather than including the month names.

If you're feeling a bit that way as well, today's episode is for you. For full show notes, including the three takeaways, go to https://3in30podcast.com/328-less-stressful-december
