Today we talk about how to thrive when you're in "survival mode." We'll discuss what it is and how to manage it.

We learned firsthand about survival mode when we jumped out of our secure jobs to follow our passions. In fact, we didn't know how difficult it would be. In addition to our new financial situation and a baby on the way, life threw plenty of curve balls at us and we found ourselves in "survival mode."

It's important to remember that this mode only lasts a season – but it can be a long one. Learn what we did to move past just surviving and eventually thrive during this period.

We'll share practical tips on how to thrive in this period and even what to do when it's over. If you're in survival mode right now, this podcast will encourage you!
