Growth & Grace

Divorce: the statistics are staggering, and the topic is taboo. In this episode of the Growth & Grace podcast, I have a conversation with with the divorce survival guide, Kate Anthony. She is a life coach who helps people answer the question - Should I stay or should I go? Figuring out the next step in any relationship is deeply personal, and it can feel like you're the only one struggling. This conversation reminds people they are not alone and offers a little hope.  www.amberleagray.com www.kateanthony.com

Here's the deal. 2019 is almost over and 2020 is right around the corner. It not not helpful to focus on all the things we didn't do this year, but instead to start focusing on where we want to go and how to get there. To do that, it has to start with mindset.  SO, before we jump into 2020 goal setting and vision board making…we need to shift our mindset. After a lot of conversations, I believe that these three mindset shifts are key to get us where we want to go in 2020. These are the things holding us back. So, let's jump in! www.amberleagray.com
