Let’s kick “new year, new you” to the curb - instead of neat, tidy goal lists, let’s approach the new year another way. How about just be yourself this year, but healthier and more rooted in what matters most? How about instead of perfection, we embrace the messiness of life and find the beauty in that? 

In this episode, we talk about how to distinguish between the messes that DO need to be cleaned up in our homes, families, jobs, relationships, souls…and which ones are holy messes - signs of our beautiful humanity. 

Let’s walk into the new year not by adopting passing fads or trends but by adding new facets to our lives that are nourishing for the long haul.

Down here in the mess, there is growth through struggle, and perhaps that’s the most lasting kind.
