    Is Fear of LOSS Keeping You From Something Better?

    Is Fear of LOSS Keeping You From Something Better?

    Our decision to homeschool our kids is one we thought about for months! We knew it was something we were drawn to. More freedom as a family, and the ability to teach our kids skills we know they’ll need as adults. I (Brianne) just had these feelings of worry, and fear that were keeping me from fully committing for a while because having the kids go to school was familiar, and homeschool was not. I had fear around things the kids would lose, without honestly weighing what they would GAIN! We hope you enjoy this chat around homeschooling, and how we’re learning to let go of what is good and familiar, for what is great! For what I feel is meant for us in this season of our family’s life!

    YOU Are Responsible for Your Energy, Not Your Spouse

    YOU Are Responsible for Your Energy, Not Your Spouse

    How do you  want to FEEL when you wake up every morning? As we’re learning and growing, and making daily deposits towards our goals, at the end of the day it's a feeling we’re after. You  want to be happy, proud, confident…and you can tap into those feelings anytime we want because YOU create them. In this episode, Danny and I are talking about a recent conversation we heard between Lori Harder and Brendan Burchard on her podcast, Earn Your Happy, about how we are all responsible for our own energy. The energy we bring into our relationships, our work, and we live our lives in the energy that we choose to generate. So make it GOOD energy! Listen in as we talk about creating the energy we want to have, and why it’s not your spouse's responsibility to make you happy!
