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.

Hello, Shameless M's last episode of 2017.

I feel some pressure here to make this really, really magical.

So if you are listening in live time, it is two days after Christmas.

So I hope that you're having a lovely holiday week.

If you're not listening in live time, I hope that you're having a lovely holiday week. If you're not listening in

live time, I hope that you are maybe back to normal because I love, love, love, love the holidays.

And then I also love, love, love, love getting back to normal afterwards. So I hope that however

your holidays went off, I hope that they went off without a hitch and with a lot of love and

merriment and joy

and peace and all those great things. And I am getting excited for starting a new year. So I'm not

super into New Year's resolutions, but I love the idea of renewal and reassessment and those kinds of

themes. So we'll be talking a little bit about that next week on Monday because we will have a brand new episode on Monday, January 1st to kick off the new year.

But today, I want to look back a little bit and talk about the most powerful changes I made in 2017.

So there were three things I did in 2017 that I think really helped me continue to shape, mold, defined, the direction I want to go,

the way I want to be living, just how I want things in my life to be evolving right now.
