The Gifted Present: Recent Episodes
Jess and Sehlynn
Hi, there! 👋 We’re Jess and Sehlynn, and we’re just two best friends starting a podcast together. We could not be more different from each other, but one thing that we do have in common is that we aren’t so good at staying in the present. We’re time travelers who either get stuck dwelling in the past or feeling overwhelmed by the future. So, this podcast is a gift to ourselves where we can just enjoy the gift of the present. We invite all other time travelers to join us every Wednesday as we make the choice to be present with ourselves and talk about the things in life that really matter.
Welcome to The Gifted Present Podcast! This episode is our season finale, and we’ll be closing out this season with unpacking self-reflection! Join us as we discuss our podcast journey and use reflective questions to further unpack lessons that we’ve learned so far. Whether you’re working through your own projects or even just emerging out of pandemic restrictions, it’s so important to take time to reflect on the experience before moving onto the next thing! Follow along on this episode to help begin your reflective process.
Audio Episodes available on Wednesdays on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and SoundCloud. Video Episodes available on Thursdays on YouTube.
