#032: Holiday Traditions: Chains or Choice?

Special guest Bob Jenkins joins Therese to share his secrets to planning space in his calendar and how he was able to unplug to create more space in his life :-)

When you have had enough... and you find yourself trying to battle through your frustrations... do you put your nose to the grind stone, or take a step back? There are times where it can feel critical that you keep pressing forward, and that in order to be "responsible" you need to keep pushing through.  However, have you ever stopped to consider the impact you are having when you stick with it? Perhaps you need to give yourself some space!

If you ever find yourself in reaction mode... feeling like you are constantly putting out fires... don't put your nose to the grind stone and work harder. The best thing to do can be counterintuitive! Therese and Maruxa make a big announcement about the month of June and keep you in step with what they are up to creating!

Even more common than relationships that are damaged by a fight, or something going terribly wrong... are the relationships that go stale after being put on autopilot. How many relationships in our life are not full of energy and aliveness? If you are settling for sub-par relationships... you will only ever experience sub-par happiness. Today Maruxa and Therese challenge you to dust off those hum-drum connections and create each and every relationship in your life intentionally!

Therese and Maruxa cover a few simple steps to bring relationships back into balance when they have gone awry. Have you ever felt stuck in a relationship where you feel like you are not getting what you want... maybe you are not even sure how things got this far off base... but you know you want something different? This episode of "I Want What You're Having" gives ou thye steps you need to dive back into that relationship to create more of what you DO want!

Relationships are the cornerstone of community, and one of the most powerful places to find joy and courage.  Taking the time to intentionally create what you want in relationships will pay you back exponentially in the happiness department ;-) This week Maruxa and Therese are joined by Susie Miller, Author of "Listen, Learn, Love." A powerful book that gives you actionable ways to intentionally create the relationships of your dreams! In today's episode Susie gives us three powerful ways to start creating better relationships today.

Stop trying to do everything perfectly... all at once! You were designed for wase and flow... so take stock of all that you want and then pick our ONE thing to focus on.  Give yourself permsission to make life easy and simplify by choosing one thing that ou are intentionally focusing on.  Do not fall into the trap of running aroung and working hard without getting the results you want!

Join Therese and Maruxa as they discuss the power of focusing on ONE thing.

Opening up and letting the world see who you truly are can be ont of the scariest experiences EVER! Putting up walls can keep you safe from getting hurt... but it also blocks you from feeling how much people truly love, adore and admire you... just for being you.

Let your true self shine and crack the shell to your true happiness!!!!

One simple shift in focus can make all the difference in how much effort it takes to be authentically happy! This week Therese and Maruxa get real about places where focusing on details rather than the largest picture may be tripping you up and robbing you of our happiness.
