This is episode 116 trapped in a dead-end job as a single mom with Shana.

Welcome to Over It and On With It. I'm your host Christine Hasler and for over a decade I've been a life coach,

speaker, and author. Each week you'll hear me work directly with a caller as I

coach them through a goal they want to accomplish or an obstacle they may be facing.

I'll provide a blend of practical and spiritual

advice as well as tangible actions you can apply to your own life. Now let's get on with

the episode.

Hi everybody welcome back to the show I hope that all of you here in the states that celebrated Thanksgiving had a beautiful holiday and really have the

opportunity to focus on gratitude and love and

connection and your family and your soul family and not just the food. I have to say I had just such an amazing time with my family.

My highlight, there were so many highlights, but a couple of the highlights were my three-year-old

nephew coming up to me on Thanksgiving day and saying to me

Auntie will you come snuggle on the couch with me? Oh my gosh it just like

broke my heart wide open and he let me snuggle with him for a good like 20 minutes

which is a long time for a three-year-old and if I had been trying to craft the perfect Thanksgiving

holiday and consume with cooking

everything and decorating my table and all that stuff that is nice but in a lot of

ways doesn't really matter as much as our connection and quality time. I would

have missed that opportunity. If I was committed to eating at a certain time and

making sure everything was perfect, I would have missed watching the sunset that night with my

seven-year-old nephew and having a great chat with him out on my deck chair, just

him and I. And so I just encourage all of you to really look at what you're giving your attention and what maybe you're paying too much attention to.
