Graceful Confidence

It is that time of year when people start thinking about what resolutions and goals they will set for the new year. Unfortunately studies show that 80 percent of people give up on their resolutions within the first few months of the new year. But it doesn't have to be that way. 2022 can be the year you really work toward creating a life you are excited about waking up to, every single day.  

In this episode Lauren will discuss the difference between goals and resolutions, why setting goals is important, and share an easy to follow plan to make goal setting a more efficient process.  

'Tis the season for gratitude! While this time of year offers ample opportunities to give thanks for the blessings in our lives, it is important to keep those thoughts of appreciation going all year long.

Listen in as Lauren interviews fellow "gratitude-iast" Noah Walker on all things appreciation. Hear how Noah started on his journey of gratitude, how it has changed his life, and learn ways you can begin integrating appreciation and gratitude into your own daily practices. 

“Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.” —William Arthur Ward
