Enter the new year and add a few months. It is likely we have fallen off track, haven't even looked at that list and are feeling like we are right back where we started (or maybe even worse off) just a few months back.
This year I decided to approach it a little different and rather than set audacious goals...2025-01-0145 minA Constantly Varied LifeEpisode 12: The One Where She Talks About The Weird Floating Space Between Christmas And The New YearWe all know what I am talking about.

With pivots can come a change of season in the form of sport, career, relationships, etc and if you live and die by what you identify with, it could be pretty devastating when life decides that identity is no longer for you.
