Hey girlfriend! 😊
Do you sometimes feel that you have to get things done in a certain way? And if you don’t, you’re hard on yourself?
Perfectionism is an unhealthy habit.  It wants us go to a place that is not realistic or achievable.  It’s the voice of negativity.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing with you that it’s safe to be messy.  Living life is messy.  And, that’s OK. 
Let’s explore together 5 signs that you might be a perfectionist and what you can do about it. 
Come on in girlfriend, it’s time to choose happy!
Cheers,
Marie

Hey girlfriend! 😊
Have you heard about self-love and it makes you feel a little uneasy? 
Do you have images of women who love themselves as selfish?  And you see that as a negative thing?
What if I told you that the self love habit is exactly what you need to live a happy, fulfilling life?
Join me in today’s show where I introduce to a new series I’m doing for the month of February where we will review the self-love habit with topics about it in each week’s episode. 
Come on in girlfriend, it’s time to learn how to truly love ourselves ❤️.
Cheers,
Marie

Hello!
Do you have your goal(s) in place for this year?  How are you feeling about them?  Are you progressing with them as we near the end of the first month of the year?
If you don’t have a goal in place yet, I invite you to listen to today’s episode in which we address why we may not be setting a goal because … maybe ... we don’t TRUST that we will follow through on achieving it. 
If this last sentence resonated with you, this episode will get you thinking about setting a goal. 
Come on in, let’s choose happy!
Cheers,
Marie

Hello!
Do you find yourself sometimes feeling alone? Does it bring you down that you can’t see clearly?  Maybe you’re feeling this right now during the holiday season? 
Today’s episode is inspired by a listener who I learned was feeling alone when she reached out to me to let me know she was enjoying the podcast. 
To support her and those who are looking for ideas of what you can do when you feel alone, I’m sharing with you my post-it note method with a list of five questions I have on “stand by” for when I’m feeling alone. 
I’m also sharing the Christmas letter template I use for reflecting on the past year 2022. 
Come on in girlfriend let’s learn how to choose happy when we’re feeling alone.
Cheers,
Marie

Hello!
Do you live your life thinking there isn’t enough of ‘x’ to go around? 
What if I told you that there is enough?  Or, even more than enough to go around. 
You see the scarcity mindset holds us back from seeing the abundance that surrounds us everyday. 
Today’s episode was inspired by an affirmation card that I randomly selected as part of my weekly planning routine - from the Choose Happy affirmation card deck. 
You can live your life with an abundance mindset and I’m going to introduce you to three ways you can develop this mindset in today’s show.  We also say the Abundance affirmation together. 
Come on in girlfriend, it’s time to choose happy! 😊
Cheers,
Marie
