Show Summary:
Life Coach Jenny Remington is back! She’s now in the lead for most guest appearances on the Mom &… Podcast. At 3.5 episodes, she is well on her way to the Five-Timers Club.*
This time we’re talking about retreating. Not the giving up kind of retreating, but the taking a break kind. Jenny shared about a recent experience in her life that forced her to slow down, and inspired her to help people be proactive about taking time out. She developed a workbook called How to Give Yourself a Mini-Retreat: Eight Ideas to Help You Relax and Recover in as Little as an Hour.
We talked about taking time away, and designing a break that meets your needs, whether it’s five minutes a day, one hour a week, or a full-blown getaway. Jenny’s new workbook is free, by the way, and walks you through step-by-step how to create a mini-retreat.
*We’re getting jackets, like on Saturday Night Live, except we are not getting smoking jackets. We’re getting pink satin jackets, in a nod to Pinky Tuscadero. Missy still can’t decide if she’d rather be Pinky or her sister, Leather.
