I had planned to share one of my conversations with a special guest for this episode, but as I realized I didn't have all I needed from them to put it all together, my eyes landed on a book that I bought in 2018 on a trip to Kauai with my kids.

I heard it calling me to look at it again as it stood upright on my side table where it has been for seven years. It was in that moment I knew it had to be the inspiration and source for this episode.

The book is called, Lessons of a Turtle: (The Little Book of Life) and I share many of its special, simple, yet profound lessons along with my off the cuff commentary and a few personal anecdotes.

I also have an announcement to share so please listen, enjoy, and share with someone you know would like to hear it!

When thinking about what to talk about for this episode, it was a long thought train that came to a screeching halt when I heard someone say, "When will they learn their lesson!"

I'm sure most of you will remember hearing something along the lines of, "You're going to learn your lesson!"

But I'm not headed down the track you think I am. I'm veering off and taking a track in the other direction to say, "When are we going to UN learn our lessons?!

Please tune in and join me as I share the first 3 lessons that came to mind, in no particular order, which I believe are outdated and worthy of being unlearned!

Listen and learn to manage stress, grief, anxiety, worry, perfectionism, and separate fact from fiction!
