Favorite Things Courtney:
This quote from Rick Rubin’s new book, The Creative Act.” Living life as an artist is a practice. You are either engaging in the practice or you’re not. It makes no sense to say you’re not good at it. It’s like saying, “I’m not good at being a monk.” You are either living as a monk or you’re not. We tend to think of the artist’s work as the output. The real work for the artist is a way of being in the world.”

Cyndie Spiegel is a born storyteller–turned–writer. She is a beloved inspirational speaker, author, wife, kitten raiser and plant propagator. Her new book, Microjoys came from a time of months of Loss and grief which came at her in crashing waves, and she found it nearly impossible to surface for happiness, except in small moments that she began to call "microjoys" -- little bits of beauty or pleasure or unexpected light amidst the darkness.

In this episode, Courtney & Bailey are happy to welcome in 2023 in a very NON new year, new you way. You don’t need to be new or different because it’s a new year! All month they’ll be focused on wellness and recognizing that living well looks different for everyone. They share their definitions of living well and while some things are different, one thing they both agree on is that they are anti-wellness culture and anti-weight loss resolutions. Reflect on what “living well” means to you so you can decide if you want to make any shifts or changes or not.

Join us for a “Favorites” conversation with Christine Platt. Christine Platt is an author and advocate who believes in harnessing the power of storytelling as a tool for social change. Christine’s most recent book: The Afrominimalist’s Guide To Living With Less is a radical re-envisioning of minimalism as a sustainable lifestyle that encourages authenticity over aesthetics. The resource for anyone seeking to discover the truth behind their over-consumption as well as how to let go of what no longer serves us, The Afrominimalist’s guide to living with less encourages us to be intentional mindful consumers so our lives are built with only things we need, use, and love.
In this episode, we talk about plants and what they teach us about life, being an empty nester, the concept of time and discovering who you are, how to live with intention, and so much more.

The just in case excuse for holding on is a messy combination of fear and procrastination. We hold on because we aren’t quite ready to let go but we rarely use or enjoy the just in case stuff we keep. Take a look in the back of your closet, in the junk drawer, under the sink or in boxes in the garage or attic and it’s clear that just in case means never.
In this episode, we’ll cover some of the common items you may struggle to let go of “just in case” along with strategies to help you let go with more ease.

You can find her at yesyesmarsha.com and Trudi Lebron, diversity and equity coach for business owners, coaches and other leaders.

If you want to make the last two months of the year more meaningful, tune in for ideas and recommendations. This is often the time of year when we start thinking about the new year (even though there are two more months left in the current year). It’s easy to designate November/December as holiday months and save all of our good intentions for January. We suggest spending just as much time considering how to close a year as how to open one.
