Sara and Holly are talking today about why routine and ritual are both important. But while routine is the structure that holds our daily lives, ritual is the spirit that makes life rich. They dig into some small rituals they have embraced to make their days more meaningful (and to show up better for the people in their lives), how you can take a routine you already don’t hate and turn it into a ritual, and also why they’ll never tell you to say “I GET to do the dishes,” because dishes are always annoying.
