Hello,
The energy of spring. New beginnings, time to wake up from our winter slumber and shed off some of the warm layers we’ve been wearing the past couple of months for those of us who live in a four season climate. The Spring season is a perfect time for self-reflection so grab your journal or notebook and pen, and let’s connect with ourselves and what we want as we enter Spring. I have 3 journal prompts for you today and a NEW choose happy affirmation that I wrote just for you, as we embrace the spring season.
Cheers,
Marie

Hello,
I hope you’re having a good start to the new year. In today’s show, I’m sharing with you something that happened to me over the holiday season. I burnt out. Anyone can get feelings of burnout and, it often happens to those of us with people pleasing tendencies. In the show, I’m reviewing possible signs of burnout and ideas of what you can do if you are feeling burnt out. It’s time to get real that maybe – just maybe – we are doing too much.

Marie

Hello,
In this week’s show, you will learn how to break free from remembering the negativity of the past year using something I call The Christmas Letter. It’s not the traditional letter that you may do now (or in your past) in which you send out a letter to loved ones with an update on your family. Rather, it’s a letter you write to yourself as you reflect on the year. I’ve been doing this the past few years and it has helped me end the year remembering and giving thanks to the good things that happened (instead of focusing on the negative things). I refuse to let the negativity bias take over my memories! I choose to remember the happy …. What do you choose?
THANK YOU - I am grateful to each and every listener of the show all around the world! Wishing you a beautiful ending to the year and I’ll see you in 2024! ❤️
Cheers,
Marie
