Several moments this fall have led me to ask the question of the day “Do you need me to help or just listen?” This question not only helps me to serve my friends and family better, but helps me to stop and listen more actively. It clears the clutter of conversation and venting in ways that help everyone so much.

I was talking to a client the other day about spaces in her life where she feels frustrated. Trying to bounce from one task or event to the next can feel like a lot. We found that a good transition was what she needed. Often, transitions can be applied to other age groups or times of life, but they are so important to how we feel and manage ourselves through the day. In this episode, I share some of my most effective tricks for having smoother transitions.

So tell me, What transition is helping you right now?

It’s fall! With the start of school and new schedules and cooler temps, my kitchen changes. I lean more into prepped meals and cozy foods and intentionality in how I feed my family. With that comes a need for greater efficiency. I am sharing some of my favorite old and new tricks for feeling happier and more successful in the kitchen as the season changes. This is not a recipe episode (wouldn’t that be complicated?) but an episode that hopefully helps make your fall cooking a little more comforting.

So tell me, What is helping you in the kitchen right now?

I’ve been reading again. In my last personal growth book (Do-Over by Jon Acuff), my mind was blown a little bit by his thoughts on HUSTLE. I am like you. I was totally into hustling 6 or 7 years ago and realized that maybe that’s not what life is supposed to be like. Jon opened my eyes to some new ways to approach hard work and goals and how focusing on those thing instead of trying to do it all at once can actually be more effective than putting your head down and hustling. I am sharing my thoughts and his and what I have been working on lately in this new episode.

So tell me, What are you focusing on?

Shownotes:

• Do Over by Jon Acuff
