Summary

2023 is here, and it continues to fascinate me how scary it can sometimes feel to enter a blank slate where we’re creating from scratch and thinking about what we want in the next chapter of life. Our brains will offer us unconscious, unintentional fear-producing thoughts about the blank slate that is in front of us, but you don’t have to listen. Uncertainty will always be a part of our lives, so we have to learn to relate to it in ways that serve us, and you’re going to hear how on this episode.

0:23.2	to. Here's your host, Master Certified Life Coach, Grief Expert, Widow, and Mom, Krista
0:30.5	St. Germain.
0:31.4	Hey there, welcome to the podcast and welcome to 2023. We have survived. 22. It's hard to believe.
0:42.0	2023 is here already. Actually, if I'm being honest, 2023 is not here for me at the time that I
0:48.8	am recording this podcast because I have to get it done before I go on holiday here, but doing a lot of reflecting lately and
0:55.3	thinking about what I loved about 2022, what I learned, what went well, what didn't go well,
1:00.7	what I want to do differently in 2023, what I want to create going forward.
1:05.2	And as I've been thinking about that, it continues to fascinate me how scary sometimes it can feel when we come into something new,
1:16.9	the future, a blank slate, if you will, creating from scratch, just thinking about what we want
1:23.6	in the next chapter of life. And so that's what I want to talk to you about on the podcast
1:26.8	today. I'll also tell you that's what I want to talk to you about on the podcast today.
1:34.2	I'll also tell you that personally, I am amazingly happy because my daughter is home.
1:39.4	If you've been listening to the podcast, you know she spent the fall in Costa Rica studying and she is home. And of course, she's very busy and she's hanging out with friends and, you know, trying to
1:45.3	see everyone while she's home. But it's just been really nice to have her hanging out on the
1:50.0	couch with me. Last night we watched Stutz on Netflix. I recommend it. If you have Netflix,
1:55.8	go check it out. It is a documentary about a psychiatrist. And it's done by Jonah Hill. It's his psychiatrist,
2:03.9	and he has really interesting visual ways of explaining things. If you like this podcast,
2:10.4	I think you'll really like that show. It's useful. And I think it'll give you some things
2:16.6	that might help you going into
