If you are tired of doing things you don't want to make time for anymore, tune in. Courtney and Bailey share the things they aren't going to do anymore. Let's stop making time for the stuff that removes us from our lives. We can't control everything but there are things we can refuse to do to feel better, be happier and make more time for the things we actually want to do.
