I am a HUGE fan of getting a peak behind the current into people’s lives. So for this episode I wanted to pull back the curtain on mine and share some of my current daily and weekly rhythms that are working for me right now in hopes that they might serve as an encouragement or inspiration for yours.

I heart all things planning. But as much as I love planning, I haven’t yet found my perfect planner. Given this is usually the time of year I purchase one, I was excited to invite Sarah Hart Unger, host of the Best Laid Plans podcast to talk all-things planners. She shares the most important question to answer before you buy a planner, various planning techniques and rhythms, and she even walks me through a mini planner match-making session!

There’s no denying it. Nearly every step of the friend-making process has elements of awkwardness. It’s awkward to talk to new people. It’s awkward to walk into a room where you feel like everyone else knows someone but you. It’s awkward to ask for contact info after just meeting someone. It’s awkward to extend an invite to someone you hardly know to get together. But the truth is: If we value friendship, we value avoiding awkwardness more. It’s better to embrace it and push through. And, in this episode, I’ll share 5 practices for how you can do just that.

One of the scariest things about making friends is you put yourself out then not be accepted. Either the person you want to be friends with is too busy, or feels like she has too many friends already, or just isn’t interested in a friendship with you. The fear of rejection is certainly real, but how common is it, really? In this episode I share my own story of being “rejected” and what helped me move forward and continue to put myself out there, and how you can too.
