Intro:
We jump right into the show. No chit-chat, just right to the good stuff!
Main Discussion:
The three of us discuss the areas of health, money, and life that we slack on during this time of year.
Many people, including us, have used the phrase “after the holidays” as an excuse to live poorly from October through November. We have a conversation about what these things are, why this happens, and what we can do about it.
Action Items/Talking Points:
We thoroughly cover what end of year moves to make in the following areas:
- Health
- Learn to say no.
- Plan your events and limit them to the ones that really matter.

- Bring a healthy option.
- Share your health goals with other people.
