It's easy to close out a busy season and immediately start thinking about what's next. But before you move into summer, this week's invitation is to pause and spend time celebrating accomplishments, big and small, from the season you just completed. A ta-da list is a simple, joyful way to do exactly that. For episode resources, see https://www.tinaboogren.com/. Music: Happy Clappy Ukulele by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com. 

Summer has a way of disappearing before we've done the things we actually wanted to do. This week's invitation is to design your summer before it gets away from you, not with a rigid schedule or an overwhelming checklist, but by starting with one simple question: how do I want to feel this summer? When we get clear on that feeling first, everything else falls into place. For episode resources, see https://www.tinaboogren.com/.

Most of us are intentional about how we start our mornings, but rarely think about our last thought before sleep. It turns out that final moment before you drift off matters more than you might realize. Your brain continues processing and consolidating whatever is on your mind as you fall asleep, which means choosing that last thought carefully could change not just how you sleep, but how you feel the next day.

Life gets busy, and somehow the people who matter most to us end up at the bottom of the to-do list. We stay in touch through texts and social media, but  something those quick exchanges can't replace is an actual conversation with someone who knows you. This week's invitation is simple: reach out to a friend and schedule a real time to talk. For episode resources, see https://www.tinaboogren.com/.

Most of us start our mornings the same way — phone in hand, scrolling before we've even gotten out of bed. But what if those first few minutes looked completely different? Adding just a little bit of reading to your morning routine, before the emails, before the news, before social media, can be one of the simplest ways to start your day feeling grounded and in control.
