The Daring Life Podcast

Every Christmas break for the past several years, my husband and I take the time to sit down and plan out our big family trips for the next year. Even though we had to cancel the majority of our trips in 2020, my Inner Compass told me it was still important to plan trips for 2021. In this episode, I share with you why we planned trips we will likely end up cancelling and the one thing that you need to get you through the rough times in life.  If you are loving this podcast, could I ask a favor? I would love if you could help me spread the word about the show. You can do this by leaving me a review in iTunes or by just telling your friends and family about it.  If you want more tips and resources, make sure to sign up for my free weekly newsletter! https://crafty-builder-3887.ck.page/e40145e650

When you think back over your life, what would you tell others about who you are, what you’ve been through, or what you’ve overcame? Over this Christmas break, I’ve started to compile my life story for my future grandkids and family. As I’ve gone through all of my old journals, I’ve remembered all the experiences that have shaped me. Through the process, I’ve been reflecting on the lessons I’ve learned and the mistakes I’ve made and I’ve had to decide what parts to keep in , what to take out, and ultimately what I want my life story to be. In this episode, I share with you what I learned about being the author of your own life story and why your past matters.  Get all the Inner Compass Inquiries in a downloadable PDF! At the end of each month, I put all of the questions into a downloadable PDF that you can download and send it out in my email newsletter.
