Summary: It's back! After a longer-than-intended hiatus, The Kitchen Hour Podcast has returned with a great new episode featuring my friend Kate Hanley, yoga instructor, coach, author and creator of MsMindBody.com. As I explain in this episode, I took a much-needed break over the holiday to catch my breath, but also to strategize some new ways to make The Kitchen Hour Podcast more helpful, more inspiring, and more fun! I'll be rolling out some new ideas over the next few months, and couldn't be more excited...but really, I'm just glad to be back and recording again. In the interview, Kate and I talk about everything from yoga and meditation, to slowing down in your "real" life, to finding the right people to tell about Big, Exciting Plans (note: it's not the Debbie Downer, or Worst-Case-Scenario-Wanda in your circle of friends or family). Kate shares her ideas for switching up your perspective when feeling stuck and cranky, and even ends up giving me an on-the-spot coaching session when I let it slip that I'm still feeling grumpy about a certain laundry issue that happened the night before! I also talk a little about my strategies for reducing food waste and how my mindset about grocery shopping has changed over the years.
