Episode 42 | Goal Setting & Habits

It doesn’t matter the time of year, it’s always a good time to talk about goals and habits. Our New Year’s energy wore off months ago, and we are headed into summer - which is a notoriously bad time for starting and maintaining habits. So, as the weather heats up and we lose the regular school day routines, we are revisiting the topic with new energy.
