Here is the full Sing A Long CD. We made it to be a blessing to anyone who is feeling lonely and isolated.
Like Shawna said in the intro of this episode, imagine 16 of us with half a dozen instruments coming into your living room, drinking coffee and singing songs. It is fun chaos!
This is free so please share it freely with anyone who might need some encouragement!

Traditions can bring stability and purpose to your life. Today we talk through how Christmas traditions like St. Nicholas Day, St. Lucy Day, Christmas Caroling and Finding Baby Jesus bring meaning to our family. Movies like = The Nativity, The Man who Invented Christmas, A Christmas Carol all build a rich tradition in our family.
But we have to communicate to our kids and to ourselves why we are going through the traditions that we have. Expressing the "why" can make space for such awesome memory making.
Christmas is just 1 day. We can build meaningful traditions into every aspect of our life.
Merry Christmas!

We have learned that if we don't learn a lesson in life, then we often have to re-take the test. We don't want to re-take the tests from 2020.
So here are ten things we have learned or had reconfirmed in 2020:
1. Do the new thing = launch a podcast.
2. Your environment is your cookie cutter.
3. Routines are essential.
4. Life is very short.
5. Build redundancy in every area of life that you can.
6. Self learning is always best.
7. Slow down and reconnect with what is important.
8. Who are the real heroes?
9. We need a lot more dialogue to combat the polarization.
10. Don't waste a good crisis.

In November 2020, our dear Grandma June passed away. This episode is dedicated to her memory and life.
What you do matters! Living an ordinary life is more than ok.

Today, we are coaching ourselves through transition and changed. We all have seasons of transition and change. It is okay to feel a bit nervous about the unknown. However, you don't have to feel completely out of control during a time of change in your life.
Focus on what you can control. Today we talk about:
staying positive and thankful
putting a time line on the change
see it as a challenge not a problem
think about benefits
plan out the simple things more during transition
reflect and journal (don't be surprised if bigger issues come up)
visual the process
maintain some simple, basic routines.

Politics stress got you down? Some people said that this 2020 election was the most stressful day in their life. Good grief people!! Get a grip!!
In 1796, George Washington gave a farewell address and talked about the dangers of political parties and how they divide people - ultimately causing us great stress.
"They serve to organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force; to put, in the place of the delegated will of the nation the will of a party, often a small but artful and enterprising minority of the community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public administration the mirror of the ill-concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common counsels and modified by mutual interests." - George Washington
"The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty." - George Washington

Hope all of you are doing fantastic! We just have a full week this week of living life so we are going to shut down the podcast for this week. If you really want to hear our voice this week, there are over 150 episodes archived. Enjoy this awesome week. Remember that What You Do Matters!!!!
Self Sabotage is when you block yourself from reaching your own goals. Things like: chronic lateness, procrastination, perfectionism, negative self talk, etc.
Shawna is going through some professional development where she realized that there is some self sabotage going on. So we have been talking about the story or stories that go with that self sabotage behavior. Why?
We also talk about Fixed vs Growth Mindset and how we need to develop the habits of a life long learner to overcome self sabotage.
