Hey, what's up everybody? Welcome to Trust and Believe. I'm your host, Shanty, and today we are going to enhance your ability to trust and believe and how to be productive without boring yourself to death. And I know that sounds really crazy. And the reason why I'm excited today is because Tanya Dalton is here and she is going to let

0:22.1

you all know how you can thrive through your day through your life. We have some phrases

0:27.7

and terms that I've never heard of that I'm really excited and as a person who is a diehard

0:33.5

motivator if I will, I know I'm going to learn a lot too. So sit back, get ready to trust and

0:40.1

believe. This is Sean T, and it's time to trust and believe.

1:07.5

Okay, T. Welcome to the show. I'm so excited you're here today. I'm going to tell everyone about you a little bit. And then I got some tough questions, but I know you love the tough questions because you get on stage. You inspire people. So here we go. Many of us often have a hard time sticking to big New Year's resolutions. Past studies and surveys have concluded that by
