Everywhere you look nowadays, people are on their phones. Have you ever left home and discovered you didn’t have your phone and you felt panic well up inside you? We are addicted to them and all the apps that come with them.

Recently, President Russell M. Nelson asked the women of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to take a 10 day social media fast. I have linked to his entire address below. Today I share the insights I gained by taking this fast and the lessons I am taking forward as I have re-entered the digital world of social media. 

If you have taken the fast yourself, I’d love to hear what you learned by writing to me at meg@the8cowlife.com and if you haven’t yet done the fast, I highly encourage you to do so. It is something that will only benefit your life. 

Have a great week and enjoy!

Pod #87: From A Place Of Love

We all have things that inconvenience us and annoy us in our lives. Many times we like to play victims and think those inconveniences are caused by others. This week I talk about an inconvenience I dealt with for over 18 months because I thought my husband should take care of the problem. 

It wasn't until I finally realized that I could solve my own problem, did I also realize that the I was the one causing the inconvenience - not my husband.

Come have a listen to not only hear how stupid I was for 18 months, but to also hear how you can be sure not to do the same thing in your own life.

Enjoy!

Decisions, decisions, decisions!! They are what we face daily and to some of you, they can be paralyzing.

Come have a listen and then let me know what you think!

Pod #85: Indecision

This life we live is fast paced and crazy. At times we need to take a step back and realize that we are not running a race against anyone else. Our life is important and valuable and sometimes that means we need to slow things down, sleep, and take a deep breath.
Come listen to some tips I share after a week of being sick and being forced to slow down. I hope they help you slow down as well and focus on some important self-care.
Enjoy!

It's the beginning of the month so that means it's time for me to bring you another interview. Today I am excited to have Chanelle Neilson from "Moms Who Know Podcast" as my guest.
