Let’s reflect on our home and set some intentions. This could be month-end at any point in the year, year-end or even transitioning to a new season. Maybe you lost your job, and have found a new one and you want to reset and start anew. This episode would be good for any of those scenarios and can be revisited as time goes on. Grab a piece of paper or your journal and a pencil. Enjoy the journey.
