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,

you guys, I am going first with Katie Duckett as we take a look back at 2021. We talk about our

words from the year. We talk about the things that worked and the things that

the place where we are really discussing tracking our lives and what we are actually getting done

and what we are actually feeling like and trying to grapple with those things and find solutions

and find a way forward because I think a lot of us really want to find the way forward at this

point. We've been living in survival mode for a really long time now and we all kind of want to

get a hold of our lives. And so that is a lot of what we are going to be doing in Patreon in the coming year. I'm releasing the tracker this week that is basically a planner that you can

have printed out at Staples or wherever you get your printouts. You could even have it bound if you
