Monday Motivation #35 | Making Room for ...

About this episode

Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.

Today, I am beginning a series of Monday Motivations all about Making Room for the Holidays. Over the next four weeks I will give you ideas for making room in your home, your budget, your schedule and your heart. 

I know it’s only October, and I promise not to play Christmas music, but if we wait until December to make room in our space, finances, calendars and ourselves, we will likely become overwhelmed and default to survival mode. 

My aim for this series is to give you ideas and tools to make room for not just surviving, but thriving in and truly enjoying the holiday season.
