We all have the power to choose how we want to define personal happiness and success.

12: Marie Kondo Your Life (Season Finale)
I can’t believe we’re at the end of Season 1! It was around the 4th or 5th episode mark when I realized that this podcast I’ve created for you has started to change me as well.
A good friend shared with me an Instagram post from author Adam Grant the other day where he outlines “the evolution of self-esteem in a career,” and it goes a little something like this:
Phase 1: I’m not important
Phase 2: I’m important
Phase 3: I want to work on something important
He then goes on to say that, “the sooner you get to phase 3, the more success you achieve and the more impact you have.”
I can honestly say that I am sprinting towards phase 3, and I’m so grateful that you’ve come along this journey with me, and have given me the fuel for such purposeful work.
So you might be asking, what does any of this have to do with Marie Kondo?
Well, I realized at the top of the year that in order for us to create space for ourselves, we all need to take a step back, and evaluate the things that are worth tidying up in our lives. Until we’ve given ourselves the respect and luxury to create that space, purpose and self care can very easily a back seat. I have a feeling that 2020 is going to be a GREAT year, and what better time to clean house and spark joy!
