56: Navigating Life's Waves—Finding Calm Amidst Holiday Chaos

In today's episode, we explore the importance of setting intentions and how it can transform your life from chaos to clarity. We'll explore the ocean as a metaphor for navigating life's turbulence, especially post-Black Friday and Cyber Monday rush, and introduce you to my new SURF framework for handling chaos. 

Plus, we'll take inspiration from Marcus Aurelius to start our days with gratitude and positivity. Grab your favorite beverage, find a cozy spot, and get ready to pivot with passion as we surf through life's waves with intention and focus. 

Let's get started!
