In this episode Tine and Taylor talk about balance and the ebb and flow between taking action and giving ourselves grace to make space in our lives.  They talk about how taking small steps can catapult us towards big changes in our lives leading to a complete perspective shift.  They discuss how American culture pushes us to constantly want more which can lead to lack of fulfilment.  They also cover work/life balance, is that even a thing? It is also nearing the end of the Group Coaching program they have been enrolled in with Nicole Griffin Wellness, so they discuss that in detail as well.  When is the right time to enroll in a group coaching program?  Also, they explain the value of it not being tied to your current vocation, religion, friend group, etc.
