Another recent trip to the Oregon Coast served up a couple life lessons to Elizabeth. One, that changing your perspective on a familiar view is energizing and important and, two, well, you’ll have to tune in for that one. Also, bonus lesson that she just keeps learning: exercise is great for your mood. Good news, bad news on that fact.

What if you looked at the year as a book you spent the year writing? With January as the Prologue, a time to establish context and indicate where the story of your year might go – that could be a successful way to plan your year, right? Well, Elizabeth heard about it and she’s going to give it a try. I mean, book analogy and goal setting? Together? Of course, she's going to try it.

It’s her last episode of 2022 and Elizabeth’s feeling a little reflective. She’s celebrating meeting her goal of 52 weekly episodes this year and she’s looking ahead to 2023. Tune in for her list of what she’s leaving in 2022 and what she’s bringing with her into 2023. All the astrology TikToks say it’s going to be a big year for Main Character Energy for Aries placements – that’s good, right?

Elizabeth made a vow to immerse herself in the holidays this year and just marinade in the spirit of the season. That meant all the decorating, cooking baking, holiday music and gift procurement commenced right after Thanksgiving. The last several podcast episodes reflect her commitment. However, in this week’s episode, she considers that maybe she came in a little hot and, perhaps, her holiday spirit may have peaked too early.

Elizabeth’s queued up all the vintage holiday specials for a necessary nostalgia trip and found that there were more than a few things in those precious Rankin Bass stories that raised a few questions. Or just did not age very well. If these moments were part of your childhood too, tune in and compare notes about how you see these stories today.

A tossed off comment from her friend, Steph, got Elizabeth wondering if maybe her life did actually track the beats of a Hallmark Holiday movie. So, Elizabeth looked at the data and this episode chronicles her findings. It’s more fun than it sounds. We swear.
