It’s the small shifts that create a big impact— trust that your efforts are leading to greatness. 💫

This week on Life Happens with Barb & Michelle, we’re introducing The 1% Practice — a conversation on how small, intentional actions can create the life of your dreams. From cultivating patience to releasing perfectionism, this episode is for anyone seeking more ease, confidence, and joy in daily life.

💬 Barb shares how letting go of perfectionism and rigidity helped her find grounding through patience and presence.

💬 Michelle opens up about the power of tiny joys — and how small self-care moments spark hope, happiness, and healing.

✨ Episode Highlights

• The 1% Practice: Small, consistent steps lead to meaningful growth — just 1% of your day can positively impact the rest.
• Discipline & Consistency: Commit to your well-being and find a sustainable rhythm that supports you long-term.
• Pause, Breathe, Begin Again: Take the edge off life by returning to the present moment and choosing your next step with intention.
• Release Rigidity: There are no rules or timelines — your path is your own, and what works for you may look different for others.

Finding bliss in your daily life begins with the small, mindful moments we weave into our routines. Just pause, breathe, and begin again. 🌸
