Make It Happen

For the first mini episode of Season 2 I'm digging into a question sent in by Alyssa:

In this mini episode, I share my own experience of struggling to balance everything and the steps I've taken to build an effective and fulfilling routine that doesn't lead to burnout, overwhelm, and stress. For anyone else struggling to balance all their adventures, this is the episode for you. 

Make It Happen Season 2 is here and for our first guest of the season I invited the awesome Caroline from Made Vibrant onto the show to talk about what she learned from choosing Savour as her word for 2015 and what she’s hoping from 2016 with her word being Curate. We also explored together how our personality types influence and shape our business, and we both deal with burn out and our need for rest in our routines. This is a great episode for you if you’re struggling with burn out or if you’re aching to embrace a “less but better” approach to your work and your life.
