How many Mondays do you have left? You're about to find out. Coach and author, Jodi Wellman and I hang out with the Grim Reaper in today's conversation. We start with a pre-mortem, a pulse check of where you are right now, while you're still on this side of the lawn. What areas of your life are in the Dead Zone? What teeny tiny steps can you take right now to zhuzh up those parts that are ho-hum? You'll rate yourself on Jodi's Astonishingly Alive quadrant and discover if it's more meaning or fun (or both) that will defibrillate your existence. Uplifting and thought-provoking.
