Life, Lemons & LemonDrops

In this episode of Life, Lemons & LemonDrops, Greer and Whitnie do what we do best—celebrate! Our little podcast is now two years old, and with over 100 episodes delivered like clockwork, we take a moment to reflect on the journey, our personal growth and to thank our listeners for sharing the ride with us.

One of our biggest lessons is to appreciate how diverse the experiences are of the people and the world around us. Observing, appreciating, and commenting on that diversity is the key to the success of LemonDrops. Sometimes life comes at you fast. And just keeping up with what often feels like madness and chaos is all you can do—but we hope to shine a light on and inspire you to strive to do more than just survive the lemons. We aim to provide the tools and resources to embrace the challenges and use them to catapult you to the next level.

Thank you for being a loyal supporter of Life, Lemons & LemonDrops and in our 3rd year, look for more of our original programming, which will go in some fun and insightful new directions.

"A river cuts through rock not because of its power but because of its persistence." ~ Jim Watkins

We don't get what we want because of a few moments of motivation. We get what we want through discipline, consistency, and persistence. Much like a river of water, if we keep at it, we cut through the stuff, the obstacles of life, and can flow to the place of our dreams. It doesn't happen overnight. And because it takes time, we have to recognize that we will not always be motivated, so to maintain momentum, we have to tap into a willingness to continue making progress. In this episode of Life, Lemons & LemonDrops, Whitnie discusses the importance of continuous movement and forward progress to reaching your goals.

Life is complicated. Or is it? Life is simple; however, we complicate it with our choices. Since we make it more difficult, we can also make it simple. Ready to learn how?

In this episode of Life, Lemons & LemonDrops hosts Greer and Whitnie discuss the benefits of simplifying your life. In recognition of National Simplicity Day, which was created to unshackle people from the complications and the hustle and bustle of daily life, we discuss the value of slowing down and enjoying what life has to offer when you’re not overburdened with, well… life.

Using Whitnie’s 8-step formula, the duo walks through S-I-M-P-L-I-F-Y and provides examples of how you, too, can apply the basic principles to reduce stress, clutter, and hassle from your life and the world around you.

In this episode of Life, Lemons & LemonDrops hosts Greer and Whitnie take a much-deserved victory lap on the heels of the Golden State Warriors Championship win over the Boston Celtics. As their beloved local basketball team reaches the pinnacle of the NBA, they observe that the detractors are already coming after the Warriors. Notably, complaints mount about the bloated players' payroll of the Warriors (highest in the league). Still, instead of agreeing with the criticism, the hosts use this opportunity to talk about the value of making investments in your own success, a lesson people can learn from the success of the World Champion Golden State Warriors.
