Introducing the Nourish Podcast! In this short clip, Maggie shares a little bit about herself and what you can expect from the Nourish Podcast.

Hi friends,

As many of you already know, this is our last official episode of the Around the Table podcast.

In this episode, we share more about what’s behind the decision to close the podcast, and open up about our favorite and least favorite moments of the past three years of doing the show. We also share what’s next for each of us.

You'll hear that there’s no juicy drama or Big Spiritual Reason behind our decision to end the podcast; we’ve simply made the show we wanted to make for nearly three years, and it’s time to move on. Knowing when to quit is never easy, but we feel peaceful and assured about the timing.

Please do continue to follow us on social media or subscribe to our newsletter as one of our favorite things about Around the Table has always been YOU, the wonderful people it allows us to connect with.
 
We can’t thank you enough for your support -- know that we’re forever grateful for you.
 
Intention + Indulgence (and hugs),
Jacey and Maggie

This week we’re discussing an all too familiar topic: procrastination. Why do we put off what we could do today? Plus, we’ll be sharing what we’ve been reading, watching, listening to and following.

Are you subscribed to Around the Table Weekly? It's our weekly love letter, and subscribers are privy to information before everyone else. We have a BIG announcement coming, so make sure you're signed up! 

What you’ll hear:

• The pros and cons procrastination
• Why we never pulled all nighters
• The emotional reasons we procrastinate (and how to deal with them)
• Practical ways to procrastinate less

Quotes:

• “When you’re in a time crunch, it increases your efficiency.” Maggie
• “I procrastinate on things that matter to me a great deal, or don’t matter to me at all.” Jacey
• “The fear of making something bad puts me in a situation where I’m going to make something bad.” Maggie
• "There’s a procrastination sweet spot that’s just the right amount of pressure, like a perfect massage!” Jacey
• “Forgive your present self and think of your future self.” Maggie
• “Do the thing you’re dreading most first thing.” Jacey

This week we are asking ourselves how we decide between the proverbial rock and a hard place.  We are also playing a friendly game of would you rather. 

If you love joining us around the table, connect with us on Instagram! It is one of our favorite ways to connect and engage with you guys, and if it weren't for Instagram, we couldn't have had so much fun on this week's episode! 

What you’ll hear:

• Whether we buy into lose-lose scenarios 
• What is the best way to choose between said rock and hard place
• Questions to ask ourselves when making difficult decisions
• A delightful game of would your rather

Can I quote you on that?

• "Even good decisions have collateral damage." Maggie
• "When, from the get-go, you know there is going to be no good option, making a quick decision is often better than making a long, drawn-out decision." Maggie
• "It can be easy to just do what will seemingly solve the problem right now or will be less painful but might not actually be the best." Jacey

In this episode, we discuss when efficiency goes too far. Plus, Maggie will weigh in on drinking vinegar, and other current nutrition trends. 

Remember those adorable totes we gave Patreon supporters last year! We have (a few) on sale! Head here to grab yours. 

What you'll hear:

• How we’ve personally seen our quality of life suffer from having an efficiency driven mindset

• What we might be missing in the midst of all this productivity

Can I quote you on that?

• “Why can’t we say, ‘we’re gonna get less done, and that’s okay’?” Jacey
• “Where we go wrong with efficiency is placing it as the highest value.” Maggie
• “You’re not a machine. You’re human, and may we never lose touch with our humanity.” Jacey
• “In the stark compartmentalization of work and play, we lose the opportunity to find joy in the work and joy in the process of getting things done.” Maggie
• “There’s not a shortcut for everything. There’s not a life hack for staying in love with someone, or forgiveness or vulnerability.” Jacey
