    25/06/2025

    Have you ever noticed how we often save our celebrations for the “big” moments in life? The promotions, graduations, or business milestones that society deems worthy of recognition?

Today at Starting Over Today, I want to talk about why celebrating achievements along your path matters tremendously—especially during those middle-of-the-year moments when motivation might be waning and your January goals seem distant memories.

    Creating Work-Life Harmony During Vacation Season

    16/06/2025

    Summer is just around the corner, and with it comes the much-anticipated vacation season! As the temperatures rise and schools let out, many of us feel that familiar pull toward sandy beaches, mountain retreats, or perhaps just a peaceful staycation at home.

    Mindfulness and Motivation: Staying Driven Through Summer Distractions
