January has been the shortest and the longest month. Christmas seems like yesterday. But the last two weeks have felt like a month or longer.

Why? I started teaching a course at a local community college. Just when the teaching arrangements were finalized, client opportunities started to come again. And like many American's, I decided to focus on my health - so I changed up how I'm eating and participated in the 21-day meditation challenge through Ten Percent Happier. Add to this, life. And I was feeling very overwhelmed by January 30.

In this episode, I share a Brene Brown strategy that helped me overcome or at least manage, the overwhelm. It is the F'ing First Time (FFT).
