Welcome to Live Well Anyway. I'm your host, Mackenzie Kappa, and on this podcast, we focus on wellness, beauty, style, planning, and life.

Basically, life is messy, and here we learn to live well anyway. So join me on this

journey as we figure it out together. And just to get us started, I'll go first. And today,

I really have been going first, you guys. And I have been trying all the different things to

help with stress management. We have all been facing extra stress for the last

couple of years on top of the stress that we all already had in our lives. And for me, it hit peak

stress level about two months ago. And I knew that I needed to change some things and I needed to

kind of up the ante on how I was

dealing with my stress. So today I am going to be sharing with you some of the things that I have

started trying, what I'm liking, and kind of get us started on this journey together in

case you are needing to take care of your stress too, this is probably

going to be an ongoing conversation because I am just trying to get a handle on it and I'm

finding some things that are really working, but I know that it's going to be a process as I

continue to work through it. So consider this, you know, episode one of stress talk because we all could use a

little bit more help in this area, I think. But before we get there, I just want to say,

if you haven't followed me over on Instagram, then be sure to connect with me over there at

McKenzie Kappa. We're having a lot of fun. I'm trying to

recapture that old self that I used to have in stories where I was able to just kind of like

share more of my life. And so I am really working back towards that. Again, we also have some

fun things that are going to be coming up in Patreon for the beginning of the new year because New

Year's is my favorite. It's all about planning and goal setting and getting on top of everything.

We're talking a lot about tracking, tracking our lives, keeping track of things that we are doing
