Episode 97: Are You Ready to Go Out of Your Way to Make Life More Enjoyable?

Hello, hi and welcome to another episode of Medium Lady Talks! In Episode 97, we're delving into a topic that's close to the hearts of many burnt-out millennial mothers: the pursuit of genuine enjoyment in life.- We'll explore three perspectives: "no," "maybe," and "yes," as we navigate the journey towards authenticity and happiness.- I've announced a new waitlist for 1:1 Gratitude Coaching make sure to sign up for announcements using this link!
Segment 1: Exploring the "No" Perspective- Some of us prioritize being right over being happy, but what if we challenged that mindset?- Let's consider whether the belief "that's just the way it is" is serving us or holding us back.- Choosing happiness over being right can lead to growth and fulfillment in unexpected ways.
Segment 2: Unpacking the "Maybe" Perspective- For many of us, the idea of enjoying life comes with conditions and complexities.- Are we willing to go out of our way to help others enjoy life, but hesitant to do the same for ourselves?- In the episode we explore the temporary nature of seeking goodness and how it impacts our pursuit of happiness.
Segment 3: Embracing the "Yes" Perspective- It's time to fully embrace the possibility of enjoying life, even if we're unsure where to start.- Consider practical steps, like practicing gratitude or setting boundaries, to cultivate a more enjoyable life.- If you find yourself answering YES to the question make sure you join my waitlist for gratitude coaching, designed to provide relief and support in a short period of time.
