My favorite podcast each week!

I am a huge fan of the little happiness bursts and general life advice I get from Gretchen and Elizabeth! I've been listening for several years on another platform and it's my go-to Wednesday morning listen. I can honestly say it has changed my life for the better, week-by-week. From annual goals (e.g "21 for 2021") and habit-forming to understanding the tendencies of people around me and little life hacks, this is an amazing resource!
