#028 - It's that time of the year, but goal-setting isn't just for New Years. In reflecting on which goals I achieved in 2023 -- and especially which ones I didn't -- one of my key lessons learned this year is that sometimes, "SMART" goals can be dumb.

#027 - Letting go isn’t always easy. Even roses grow way more buds than they can sustain, so if we’re not intentionally pruning the proverbial branches, we might be unintentionally blocking something even better.

To that end, here's what I have for you in today's episode:

• 💭 A quick conversation you can have with yourself to let go with clarity and intention
• 🎈Three letting-go personality types (and a couple places they might show up in your Human Design chart)
• ✂️ Three practical habits to make letting go a little easier
• 🔥 A quick win to set the intention

#026 - Of the several education side hustles I've tried, tutoring is by far my favorite. It's completely changed my perspective of challenging students, given me genuine compassion and connection with the kids who were hardest to reach in class — and paid three times more per hour than I made teaching. Working 1:1 was so rewarding that it even inspired me to quit my job to create more room for what feels more fulfilling and aligned. 

To that end, here's what I have for you in today's episode:

• 💚 Three reasons to love tutoring as a side hustle
• 👩‍🏫 A few different ways to get started (in-person or online)
• 💰 How to set and increase your prices
• 💵 An idea what to expect income-wise
• 🤝 And a few more practical tips to make your tutoring an enjoyable and successful experience for everyone involved
