Episode 37: Design Your Summer Around How You Want to Feel

About this episode

This episode encourages listeners to design their summer based on how they want to feel rather than adhering to a strict schedule.

Summer has a way of disappearing before we've done the things we actually wanted to do. This week's invitation is to design your summer before it gets away from you, not with a rigid schedule or an overwhelming checklist, but by starting with one simple question: how do I want to feel this summer? When we get clear on that feeling first, everything else falls into place. For episode resources, see https://www.tinaboogren.com/.
