155. A Spring Reset, Life Update, and My Seasonal State of the Union

Cats outta the bag - I am moving back to California! In this episode, I'm giving the life update, what this past year has taught me, and how I think about making big life decisions when something no longer feels aligned. From there, we get into a full spring reset - how to clean up your physical space, rebuild your routines, and do a mid-year life audit so you can course correct with intention. And as always, I wrap with my seasonal State of the Union what’s in, what’s out, and what I’m paying attention to right now for Spring!

We cover:

👉🏻 Why changing your mind is a necessary part of growth

👉🏻 What this move taught me about environment and happiness

👉🏻 How to reset your space and routines for spring

👉🏻 A simple framework for checking in on your personal goals

👉🏻 My current ins and outs for the season
