Hey hey happy minisode Friday! This week's interview with Nicholas Collins was a fun one and one thing we talked about a lot was social media and the presence it plays in kids lives.   As someone that started their career in social media, I've always had a weird relationship with it. Like, part of me loves it and it's brought me to some of my closest friends. It can definitely be used for inspiration and connection.   But the other part of me really struggles with it because I don't want to feel constantly tied to my phone and to be honest, I like having part of my life private. I don't want to share EVERYTHING about my life.   It's hard for me to completely disconnect because it is very tied to my job, but at times I do have to completely step away.   In today's minisode, I share reasons why we should ALL spend less time on social media and 3 tips on how you can limit your time.   Excited for you to tune in and hope you enjoy!   Full show notes at: http://brittneyllynn.com//less-time-social-media   Links mentioned:     Moment iPhone app  AntiSocial Android app    Like the show?

A Day in the Life Update

This week I chatted with Sean Sublette who is a meteorologist and I loved his simple advice on how we can all make a big impact on our environment by making small changes in our daily lives. When it comes to making a difference with the effects on our environment, it can seem like a huge daunting task and that there's no way minor changes can't help but that's so not the case! Every little bit adds up and it can add up to massive change.  While I do feel like I'm already doing a lot to help conserve energy (we have a smart thermostat, energy efficient appliances, use LED lights) there's always more I can do so I want this week's challenge to be all about conserving more energy and reducing my consumption!   Full show notes at: http://dayinthelifepodcast.com/minisode30   Like the show?

066 | Sean Sublette | Meteorologist

This week I chatted with Emily Mills who is obviously a creative and artistic genius. I made it clear how much I lack the skills to draw or be artistic in any sort of way, but after last week's minisode about stopping myself from saying that I "can't" do something, I'm trying to change my language and how I speak about my drawing skills.  I then started looking into how drawing can positively impact your days -- and boy, I found a lot of research on this!  Tune in to find out how drawing can boost your mood and positively impact your day to day life!   Full show notes at: http://dayinthelifepodcast.com/minisode29 Links mentioned:    Day in the Life Minisode - What's Something You Feel Like You Can't Do  Psychology Today - Drawing is a Simple Way to Improve Your Mood  Very Well Mind - What is Art Therapy  Very Well Mind - How To Relieve Stress with Art Therapy   Like the show?
