Summary

Christy Thomas is the definition of an Awesome Adult! Her husband Adam is on active duty and they have moved eight times in 13 years on the whim of the Navy. Christy balances the unpredictability by homeschooling their three kids, and she fuels her Awesome Adult life by running, drawing, knitting, reading, and blogging.

Self-care isn’t just a luxury for Christy – it’s a priority.

In this episode, Christy shares her tips for developing an Awesome Adult mindset and integrating these pockets of happy into your busy life.
