Hello friend. Welcome to the first ever podcast hiatus here on the Your

Welcome show. As you and I are friends on Instagram, you will know that I full on deleted the

Instagram app this week. My first time ever doing that because I run a business

over there it feels like a really big deal to actually step away even for something as small a period as a week.

But as we will talk about in today's episode, I think that change can sometimes start with really big things. You make a big shift in your life,

but the deeper that we get into a topic, a challenge, an area, an issue, the smaller the shifts get, the tiny year and the more incremental.

And as I have been challenging myself to be more present

with the slowness of quarantine and be more curious about what I can learn from and discover about myself in this season.

I want to start a notice, I want to start to notice even more how I articulate my words.

Now how I spend my time in little ways, the little fleeting thoughts that go through my head like oh should I grab my phone and

film this or oh I could pop up in Instagram and talk about this on stories and as I'm

headed out of town next week to write for a week and then on a local vacation with Jeremy and then start working on the next phase of my book with a book coach beginning in September.

So it felt like a good time to pull some of the time

resources that I spend every week teaching here on the podcast

and over on Instagram and focus it on the book in this end of summer transition time.

So today, I want to revisit one of my very first episodes

of this podcast with an on-core presentation

on how and why we do or don't change or the people in our lives do or

don't change. I get a lot of ZMs about how do I help this friend change? Why is this friend still stuck in this pattern

or I don't know how to help them get to the next level?

So when it comes to changing things

we dislike about ourselves, I have certainly changed some major things in the vein of what I share about in this episode.
