Transcript:

 

Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in about 2 minutes a day,  through my signature method of Intentional Margins® (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life. 

 

I'm your host Katie Jefcoat, and December looks like a bit more margin for the things that I love in this holiday season … twinkle lights, matching christmas jammies, and social connection.  

 

It’s so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle and after the latest podcasts about being present.  A few months ago we talked about time and priorities, and I shared how I was feeling like time was flying by, especially with the children as my oldest entered high school.  I realized, taking time to reflect and re-center is not only something we deserve, but something we as humans need. 

 

I’m craving a change-up.  Perhaps that is because society has taught us to expect so much of our minds, but they are not meant to be computers.  We need rest in this busy world.  We’ve got stimulants being thrown at us every time we turn our heads.  What I would like to focus on is being present in my most favorite month of the year. 

 

Now, I won’t be sitting on my hands or binge watching Christmas movies every day.  I’ve got a jam packed social calendar.  And this is not a situation where I detach from all reality and go silent.  Instead, I intend to use December to dream, to reflect, to enjoy the moments and really connect with friends that fill my cup.  

 

And you get some really great pre-recorded episodes from me and guest take-overs.  Let me explain.  I asked four dear friends that are all amazing in their own rights to take over the podcast for a week.  Their insights are incredible and I can’t wait for you to get to know each person.  Over on Apple podcasts, Spotify, Podbean and all the podcast platforms you will get a 10-minute bonus episode every Sunday with each surprise guest before they take over for the following 5 days.  If you are listening on Amazon Alexa Flash Briefings, you just need to check out the show notes for links on where to listen to the longer bonus episodes.     

 

I will still be on social and connecting with each one of you.  So don’t be shy to slide into my DMs.  I’d especially love to hear what you think of these new format episodes.

 

Until next time, remember, kindness is contagious.
