The Habit Project: Recent Episodes
Jenna Rodrigues
Moving to a new country (or to a new state) is one of life's biggest stressors. In addition to all the new adjustments of relocating, I've often been guilty of setting unreasonable expectations for myself about what habits I'll bring with me to a new place, and what habits I'll leave behind forever.
The truth is that when I move, I'm just me in a new place.
Today, my dear friend Caroline (who has just moved back to the US after spending four years in Bulgaria) and I explore:
-
Our mutual transitions
-
The myth of the fresh start
-
Letting go of timeframes for transitions
-
And how Barack Obama inspired her to create a space that feels like home
Caroline was raised in Maine and spent the last four years teaching English in Bulgaria. She now lives and writes in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
