Today's minisode we're talking about adding more ease and calmness into your daily life. This week's interview with Katie Kritmosis was so, so fun for me and it made me realize that I could definitely stand to add more calming, meditative moments throughout my days. A common thread throughout many Day in the Life episodes is that we all don't have enough time and that we all feel overwhelmed. Adding more ease and calmness into your daily life will help combat at least some of those feelings of overwhelm and perhaps even make your days flow more easily. I'd like to share 6 ways how I've been adding more ease and calmness throughout my days and hopefully they'll help you!

Today's minisode we're talking about the importance of investing in yourself.I think many of us fail to realize the value in investing in ourselves. Sometimes we use the excuse that we can't afford it, other times we use the excuse that we don't have time. But honestly, one of the absolute best things you can do for your well being AND for your wallet is to invest in yourself in some sort of way. I really think the reason why some of us don't "invest" in ourselves is that we fear we won't be perfect at whatever it is that we're trying to do, so we'd rather not try at all. I get it, as a fellow perfectionist that's constantly working on that, I totally understand. BUT sometimes we just need to do something different and out of our comfort zones to truly better ourselves. Now when I say "invest in yourself" I don't necessarily mean only monetary ways, like professional development/workshops/educational purposes...though those are awesome! I also mean investing in things like your health, hobbies, relationships, etc. Tune in to the episode to find out the 5 ways you can start investing in yourself today!
