Show Notes:

So many people are preparing to set new goals in the new year, which takes strategy and mindset work. We’re here to share an open and honest discussion about pivotal moments in our own lives that led us to make important (and lasting) changes for good. Some key topics we touched on included looking back at decisions that didn't serve us well and eventually led to moments of pain or rock bottoms. We talk about the importance of making a firm decision to change in those moments rather than just thinking about change, and how to make steady progress by continually reinforcing your new path. We hope our own stories provide insight and motivation as you think about changes you want to make in your own life.
