Date With Kayt: I Know You Want to Cancel, but Please Go!

A few weeks ago, I posted a quick post- "Whatever you do, please don't cancel your plans."
This messaging about the temptation to cancel plans and wait until we feel totally 'on' to participate in community resonated with many of you. I knew I was not alone.
So, I took the conversation to the show to talk about my own tendency to easily cancel, and how saying yes even when I want to just stay home changed the way I see the purpose of community. Through this episode we'll touch on:
• Exploring the tendency to cancel plans when feeling vulnerable
• The significance of showing up as you are, all of it!
• How staying home is actually not the safer option
• The truth about loneliness in our lives, and the empowering truth on the other side
This year can come with a new story for you, for us. For friendship, for community, for our hearts and families. Tune in to this episode, I bet there's something in here that may be just what you need to hear.
