On today’s episode, Kelly Palace and Maria Parker talk about achieving big things with small, actionable steps. Kelly shares her breast cancer experience and how the task of emptying her parents’ home to send her father to assisted living, before her mother passed away, was overwhelming but she approached both with baby steps along the way. Maria talks about competing in the Race Across America bike race. She had to have a “baby steps” mentality to succeed and tells her mailboxes story.

Embracing the grace is another tactic the hosts discuss that can be a useful tool in reaching goals and overcoming challenges.

Action Items From the Hosts

Maria: Think to yourself “What is the very next thing that I should do/can do – and then do it – and celebrate it.”
