How Anxiety is Running You Ragged
04/03/24 • 25 min
We all have a giant stack of papers that are taunting us. The physical and mental to do's posted everywhere. The phone calls to make and the errands to run. It all piles up and we are left feeling anxious and frenetic. I had a morning this week where it all hit me at once, and I had to get myself back to center before I could be present for my day of coaching calls. I talk about how I do this for myself and for my coaching clients. I take you through a quick quiz and give you practical steps to shift your state and outlook moving ahead. I believe that peace is possible for you. I know you can leave the heaviness behind. I've seen it happen for others and I know it is possible for you too.

Letting Nature Nurture You with Donna Letier
I am honored to share today's episode with Donna Letier, co-founder and CEO of Gardenuity. Donna is a business woman, mother of two, advocate and caregiver for one of her daughter's and a genuinely kind human. She lives and breathes helping others through the power of nature and aims to make gardening accessible for everyone.
We talk in this episode about work/life/caregiving balance, how we show our other children they are not forgotten, and of course about all of the beautiful important and necessary need to care for ourselves and how gardening can help us do just that. Donna also shares her top three tips for being the CEO of your home and/or business.
Thank you, Donna, for sharing your wisdom, and to all the listeners, may you find the seeds of hope as you grow something good in your life.
