A Year of Lessons from The Soft Focus

Today we are doing something a little bit different: taking time to reflect on some of the major lessons from a year of podcasting, and interviewing incredible guests. 

Corinne is on the mic today, solo, unpacking the major takeaways from the formative episodes on the podcast. Taking the time to look back and review is a life hack that always leads to big breakthroughs and improvements. Using that same tool to assess the podcast, and field some questions from our regular listeners, is the name of the game today. 

• The concept of taking stock of your experience, right now
• How being present with our challenges is not always the same as being challenged in the present
• Leaning into the discomfort of a growth edge
• Making decisions from a place of response instead of reaction
• Seeing the challenges in life as opportunities for wholeness
• How the values we have are not always reflected in our actions
• Practices for coming into communion with our values, and being more whole-hearted
• Why deep, soul-level self-care is important
• The ways that we convince ourselves that our nourishment isn’t important 
• How outsourcing our personal responsibility to care for ourselves can seem easier
• Why gadgets and hacks will not replace true self-care
• The joy of connecting with your natural environment
• Starting with exactly where you are, physically
• How the place where we live can often mirror the same principles we work through on 
• daily basis 
• The birth > growth > death cycle on a macro and micro scale 
• Podcast guest feedback
• Updates on the Late Bloomer Ranch farm incubator
