Join us as we explore what it means to be on a perfectly imperfect journey to a fulfilled life. We have a deep curiosity about the ways in which we each navigate the journey - how to savor the times when you’re in flow, what happens when you hit a bump in the road, and how to find the learning and growth in ALL of it. Because the one thing that is certain is no one’s life path is a straight line! We have lots of thoughts, ideas, and questions to share around what it takes to live a fulfilling life and we will also be talking to friends, colleagues, and experts. While our focus is on modern “western” concerns, interests, needs, fears, etc. we look to both eastern and western philosophies and practices to guide us on our journeys. We hope this podcast will feel like getting together with some good friends over a glass of wine or a cup of tea every few weeks - we do not have all the answers, but we have lots of questions and hope to inspire you to consider where you want your own journey to take you. Anne is an HR Executive and consultant and Sherry’s an executive and life coach. We have been friends and colleagues for over fifteen years and have had the good fortune to dive deeply into a wide variety of approaches that we’ve brought into both our professional and personal lives.

Wednesday Jan 05, 2022
It’s the beginning of a new year, and you’ve probably spent some time reflecting on the previous year and considering what 2022 might bring. We’ve been thinking about this too, but unlike most of what you’re reading, seeing, or hearing in the media, we are suggesting that you actually ditch the New Year’s resolutions.
Why?
They can actually do more harm than good…and they usually end up making us all feel pretty terrible.
That doesn’t mean we suggest that you stop being thoughtful about what you want to bring into your life. Just the opposite! Listen in as we suggest an alternative to New Year’s resolutions and how to ring in the new year in a more mindful way.

Here are some resources for you to think about what to do instead of resolutions:
This one is from a friend of ours you’ll hear from on the podcast later this year:

During the episode, we discuss a framework that Sherry developed for more mindful goal setting called HEART goalsTM.
The HEART goals TM framework:
Harmony: How is your goal in harmony with who you are as a person, where you are in life and the tenor of your life?
Energizing: In what way does your goal give you energy? How is it exciting to you?
Affirming: Describe how the goal is a positive force for you
Radical: Is the goal going to the root of what’s important to you?
True: Do you choose to believe it to be possible?
