Summary

Today on the show, we’re answering the question, “How do I change seasons well?" If you’ve been around here for a while you know Craig Thompson (or CRAIGLES or the prince as we called him around the office). He used to be part of our media team here at AFD, Inc. but last fall he and his wife, Hannah, moved to Indiana. SOO many of you talk to me about deciding whether or not to move or figuring out what to do if a season is changing and I think you’re going to love this conversation with Craig. We’re going to talk about transitioning from “a good season to a good season”...what it looked like for Craig and Hannah to decide to move…making decisions as a single person vs a couple…and then we’re going to talk about some advice if you’re starting to feel the inkling of a season change. If you’re following along in your TSF Seasons Guidebook, we’re on page 58. And be on the lookout in your inboxes today, because we’re emailing out the summer pages! If you don’t have a copy of the TSF Seasons Guidebook, it’s the perfect time to jump in with us as we get ready to start a new season.
