Welcome to the first episode of the Let's Slow Down Summer '24 Series! In walking the walk, I am slowing down the pace of the podcast and bringing back the summer short episode series on a bi-weekly basis. I am prioritizing family time and a break for the summer months. Full length, weekly episodes will return in the Fall.

In this episode, I highlight 5 ways to live an intentional summer, so that you can make the most of this special season and have lots of meaningful memories and moments.

In this reflective episode, I recap my family's spring, focusing on our decision to forgo intense sports and embrace a simpler, more intentional season. I share insights on the benefits we experienced, including less stress, improved mental and physical health, and more quality family time.

Benefits of Our Simpler Spring:

Observations:

As I reflect on the success of our spring experiment to quit being busy, I’d like to encourage listeners to consider experimenting with simplifying their schedules to reduce stress and improve family well-being. I can’t emphasize enough the importance of taking time to regroup, reset, and find clarity.

Feeling lost or unmotivated? Listen to One Republic's 'Connection' for a positive pick me up. It's a great song, with a catchy melody and meaningful lyrics.

In this week's solo episode, I unpack the words in this awesome song that remind us to:

Yes, I got all that out of this song! It's a good one. Enjoy!

Warmly,

Does your life feel like you’re just going through the motions? Are there positive changes you could make to bring more awareness and energy into your days?

Today’s guest, author and entrepreneur Jeanne Collins, has learned from her life lessons and shares a refreshing perspective on how to jump into an authentic and fulfilling life. She takes intentional living to Olympic Sport level!  

The energy she shares in her book and in our interview is off the charts! Jeanne encourages us to look within ourselves to figure out how to live a better life that’s truly aligned and supportive. She talks about what that looks like and how to get there. We dive deep into teaching ourselves awareness of our surroundings and of what’s going on internally, to jump two feet into life.

Warmly,

Annemarie
