This "Hello 2020" episode builds on a late-2019 blog post from host Sondra Doty. Click here to read. http://www.wordtoyourmothers.com/the-why/

We are now 15 days in to the new year! How are you doing? For Sondra, It's been a slower start than anticipated-and that's 100% OK! Go ahead and give yourself permission to feel the same. This time of year, there really is no escaping the "New Year, New You" motto-and with that, the pressure to perform and do more. … Sondra shares that although she feels physically weak going in to the new year, and encouraging post from Jenna Kutcher helped formulate a healthy perspective 

"Instead of focusing on what you could lose, let's focus on gains," writes Kutcher. "More long walks, more time unplugged, more green veggies, more pauses, more water, more laughter, more inspiring influences and early bedtimes, more LOVE." Go follow @jennakutcher today! 

In the spirit of achieving more of what you desire-without the added pressure-Sondra thought it would be fun in this episode to divulge more details about herself and the "why" behind what she does. The why is clearly defined for her and some of that stems from when she was a little girl and had dreams to become a country music singer. Sondra shares stories, about when she was in kindergarten and how she was a dreamer at a young age. She also shares about her experience meeting her singing idol, Wynonna Judd.

Have you ever met one of your idols?

Think about what your "why" is or might be for 2020: Is there a dream that you thought was dead or gone? Maybe it's time to revisit it an see what's possible. If it feels overwhelming, break it down to three-month increments and make action items based on where you want to be in April. Thinking about the whole year at once can feel overwhelming. But don't worry about justifying your why to others. 

In fact, Sondra's personal whys today still connect to that little girl's heart who wanted to be a country music singer: Her dream of singing with Wynonna Judd still remains, y'all! And who knows, maybe one day that dream will come true on this Word To You Mothers trail? 

Sondra invites you to walk together in this new decade!
