Welcome to the Shameless Mom Academy. I'm your host, Sarah Dean, and I'm here to give you and other passionate, dedicated moms

the tools you need to bridge the gap between motherhood and living the life of your dreams.

I'm also here to help you be a little more shameless every day, because if you aren't

building a life you're extraordinarily proud of, what kind of legacy are you building?

So let's dive in. As the CEO of BLH consulting, Sharon Lipinski helps people

transform desired behaviors into common practice. She is the author of 365 ways to live generously,

simple habits for a life that's good for you and for others, which helps people

make seven generosity habits a reality in their daily life. She is a certified corporate wellness

specialist, a speaker, TV personality, and a coach dedicated to helping people create the

right habit so they can be happier, healthier, and more productive at home and in their work.

Sharon is also the founder of the nonprofit Change Gangs, Virtual Giving Circles, which help people

make small donations that make big impact by pooling their small donations with the donations

of other people who care about the same causes. To date, they've donated more than $58,000 to great charities around the

world. She also maintains the largest repository of information documenting the tools,

strategies, and accomplishments of some of America's 800 charitable giving circles.

This conversation was so great. I completely geeked out on Sharon and all of her habit

conversation. So I know you are all going to

really be interested in what she has to say about building habits and maintaining habits and

the motivation that comes with them and the struggle that can come with them and how much something

has to be practiced. So this was interesting. It was a fascinating conversation. So I'm so grateful
