Failure is not fatal.

It is the courage to continue that counts."

BURNOUT. Do we even need to put a description here? I think we may all be experiencing a little (or a LOT) of burnout.   Tired, stressed, unmotivated? Or just plain SICK AND TIRED of dealing with everything on top of THE CORONA. Ugh!

Katie and Shannon explore what phase of burnout they are each in at the moment...and what we can all do to help alleviate some of these feelings.

Let's get motivated, let go of the past 3 months and MOVE FORWARD with your BADASS SELVES.

Breathe in for a count of 1-2-3-4...hold for a count of 1-2-3-4...breathe out for a count of 1-2-3-4... and hold for a count of 1-2-3-4. Thanks to Samudra Studio's Sarah for showing me that very helpful breath!

Katie and Shannon coming to you from THE FRONT PORCH. As in...we are socially distancing/recording for YOU!  Delve in with us into the sometimes debilitating world of NEGATIVE SELF TALK. Stop it! Instead of ''I can't!"  Let's try: "How CAN I?" Try to shift your MINDSET... remember that word!?  Try to think positive, self-affirming thoughts DAILY to help get you in a more positive space. It's hard to love ourselves! But when you do, you will in turn BE nicer to others and be able to show love to others. Easier said than done. That's why we talk about it FOR YOU!
