This episode is for anyone who has ONE BIG TASK they really want to get done before the end of the year.
It’s October, which means we have less than three months until the end of the year. And while 2020 has been one of the weirdest years in modern history, we still somehow have normal life things that have slipped through the cracks.
Those things that we just keep procrastinating: home improvement, emotional chores, creative projects. These aren’t goals, they’re just tasks, the ones that keep slipping to the bottom of the priority list.
Let’s commit to choosing ONE thing we want to get done between now and the end of 2020 and share it as a way to stay accountable. Let’s make our future January 2021 selves super proud of how we finished the Wild West of 2020.

/
This episode is for anyone who struggles with her inner “good girl.”
I read Break the Good Girl Myth: How To Dismantle Outdated Rules, Unleash Your Power, and Design a More Purposeful Life by Majo Molfino this summer and the whole idea resonated with me: identifying as a good girl, wanting to be seen as a good girl, and simultaneously wanting to get out of that trap.
Even at 40-something, I am still dismantling these parts of my identity, and I could see myself - and so many of my friends - in the five different types of “good girls” that Majo writes about.

This time we’re focusing on family yearbooks, but Miss Freddy’s advice applies to any sort of digital photo book you want to create. She’s sharing the steps, the tools, and the mindset to create an album you’ll be so happy to have.

Welcome to this BONUS episode of the 10 Things To Tell You podcast, I am so excited to share another author interview, especially because Myquillyn Smith - aka The Nester - has been someone I’ve followed online for YEARS and years, but we had never actually spoken until we recorded!
Myquillyn has influenced the way I think about my home through her blog and then social media and then her books, starting with The Nesting Place, and then the Cozy Minimalist Home, and now, her latest release this fall titled Welcome Home. Her book and our conversation revolves around decorating your home for the SEASONS without buying a bunch of expensive decor that you then have to store, and also signaling to yourself and to your family the cycle of the year - EVEN when you live in Southern California where the temperature doesn’t change much.
