    The Impact of Experiences

    The Impact of Experiences

    “The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience." - Eleanor Roosevelt

    We just wrapped up our family summer vacation, and while it was still fresh, I wanted to do a quick episode talking about the power of gifting experiences for our children, and the impact it not only has on them but us.

    If listening on Spotify I would invite you to take part in the Q&A and Poll, but if listening on another platform, I would love to hear what has been your favorite experience that you still remember to this day. Was it a favorite family vacation? A Broadway show? A game? A camping trip? Let me know at my website or visit my Linktree for additional ways to reach out! I would love some engagement on this!

    With that, summer is wrapping up, and if you're still in need of school supplies, make sure to check out our partners at Amazon for some great deals!

    Thank you as always for your support, and be sure to subscribe so you don't miss out on future episodes and share the podcast as well, as it really helps with our reach!
