Summary
The part of being a romantic I want to grab onto and dive deeper into is the idea of thinking outside the box, of not being limited by the boundaries that are instituted by society or even by our own experiences. And as such, I want us to gravitate to a higher, more historically accurate definition of the term romantic - the Romantic: "a life philosophy that prizes the rejection of pure rationalism in favor of intuition, imagination, and emotion; the embrace of nonconformity and sincerity; a tendency towards nostalgia; and the celebration of curiosity, spontaneity, and wonder".
In today's podcast, I will share 6 realities that will begin to occur in your life as you embrace the idea of becoming a Romantic.

| 1:12.3 | undercurrent or the main theme of for the most part everything we're going to talk about this year |
| 1:17.0 | Is this idea of getting back to simple back to simple now this doesn't mean that we're going to be getting down and living |
| 1:25.5 | minimalistic simply for the fact of having less. It's about getting rid of what's not |
