Nancy and Matthew get to the heart of what community means in our 21st century lives. We acknowledge the difficulty making friends and having community as an adult, go through why it’s so important for us as social creatures to have that sense of connection and belonging, and provide some baby steps to get started that will have BIG IMPACT and almost immediate benefits for your overall happiness and wellbeing.

How are your New Year's Resolutions going? When this airs, it will be the third week of January and according to statistics, most people will have already thrown in the towel and are ready to wait it out until next year! DON'T LET THAT BE YOU! In this episode, Nancy and Matthew throw some serious shade at the whole idea of "New Year, New You", and call out why it doesn't work for the majority of people. Yes, that's right - we will tell you the big secret that keeps people from accomplishing their resolutions (and any other goals you set at any time of the year!).If you are tired of starting over and over again, this is a MUST listen. We get to the root of where successful change has to come from to truly transform your life. Let the magic begin! Note: Nancy references a book with an audio version in the podcast that she loves. It's called The Gap and the Gain: The high achiever's guide to happiness, confidence and success by Dan Sullivan.
