260: What's bringing me joy this winter

About this episode

Merideth shares her quarterly reflections on the joys of winter, highlighting both big and small things that are uplifting her.

This week we are diving into my quarterly practice of naming what's bringing me joy this season. It's a fun, unscripted (!) episode full of big and small things that are truly "saving my life right now." Links: A question that's helping me take action (Read a Substack essay about this one next week!) A Cohort that I'm participating in this year New Writing Rhythm This item saved our sweaters This is my favorite Galentine's gift A deck and an IG account that are helping me parent with more joy. A book launch update! Writing and sharing poetry PS: I definitely got the numbering wrong on the episode (told you it was unscripted!) So please feel free to ignore that!
