18: The Happy Muscle and A Life of Wonder with Betsy Balkcom

Today I've got something a little different for you. I hope it feels like you have a chair pulled up to lean in to this conversation. This episode is with my friend Betsy Balkcom. Betsy is one of the most interesting people I know - she is engaging, refreshingly honest, super easy to talk to, a total wordsmith, and is able to express the sorts of things most are thinking but can never quite communicate. She is a lover of all things natural and simple, has a killer design aesthetic, and just recently became the proud owner of a sailboat.  We dive in to what it's like to release the need to judge and let go of correcting people, how to define and work the happy muscle for a more grateful and enjoyable life, and what its like to do the hard, deep work and still live with a sense of wonder. And that's what this podcast is about. There are some real nuggets in here.  Whether you find yourself in a season of loneliness with your circle of friends, or you perhaps feel stuck on a hamster wheel of routine, you are in the company of friends here.
