Welcome to Live Well Anyway. I'm your host, Mackenzie Kappa. If you're new here, this is a podcast

geared towards women who want to feel healthy, look good, and stay organized. We tend to lean a little bit

crunchy, but want to stay modern and pulled together at the same time. We talk a lot about

planning, beauty,

wellness, hobbies, and everything in between. We're real women doing our best to live well anyway

in the midst of life's chaos. I'm so glad you're here. And today I've got my good friend Katie

Deckett back on the show, and this is one of those episodes where we just really chat. This

conversation goes a lot

of places that we didn't really expect, but we also have a lot of like little life hacks, things

that are saving our lives right now, making our lives a little bit more enjoyable or a little bit

easier. You know, we're a couple of weeks into the new year now. We're kind of at that point where

the rose colored glasses have come off a bit and people are living in the reality of what happens with real life and you have

your best intentions. But how do those play out when you are really in the midst of everything?

And these are just some little things that are helping us and we're enjoying in the midst

of all of that. But before we get there really quickly, I want to make sure that you know about my newsletter.

Well, anyway, it's a fun little place

where I get to dive a little bit more into writing

than I have in a few years, and I am so enjoying that.

Every Sunday, sometimes Monday, but usually Sunday,

I release my newsletter that's all about planning. I talk about

the latest books I've been reading and movies I've been seeing and shows I've been watching

and just kind of all sorts of different things. It's a great resource for what is happening
