About this episode

In this episode, Renee discusses the impact of shifting focus from oneself to others, shares a calming morning routine, and introduces the concept of making two lists to manage energy levels.

Welcome back to  Part 2  of my  Living Better  series! 🌿 This week, we're picking up where we left off after last week's conversation about decluttering and creating a calmer home. I share some new realizations I've had over the past week, including how shifting your focus away from yourself and toward other people can have a surprisingly positive impact on your mindset. I also take you through the simple morning routine I've been loving lately and why it's been helping me start my days feeling calmer, more intentional, and more energized. Then we dive into  Living Better Tip #2:  making two simple lists. One list is everything that gives you energy, and the other is everything that quietly drains it. I walk you through some of the things on my own lists and how they've completely changed the way I think about my time, my schedule, and the choices I make every day. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like you're constantly running on empty, I hope this episode gives you a practical place to start, without adding more to your plate. And stay tuned for  Part 3  next week, where we'll talk about giving your to-do list a makeover…
