In this episode, Alix and Emily step away from their usual coaching and education focus to have a candid conversation about their personal lives. They break down what the phrase "intentional impact" means to them in their current, very different seasons of life, and share the daily habits they are adding and subtracting to protect their peace.

• The Upside of Relocating: The surprising way that moving eight times in ten years actually helps Alix cultivate a highly intentional home.
• Curing House Claustrophobia: How Emily is finding fresh energy and fighting off a "claustrophobic" feeling in a home she has lived in for years.
• The Magic of Morning Pages: The daily, unfiltered journaling practice that is unlocking Emily's creativity—and the completely valid, vulnerable reason why Alix had to temporarily abandon it.
• Mindful Scrolling & The "Brick": The physical tool Alix uses to literally lock herself out of her phone, plus the one unexpected social media app Emily relies on to "scratch the itch" of scrolling without falling into a toxic comparison trap.
