268 | necessary pruning in life

from Couple Things with Shawn and Andrew Hosted by Shawn Johnson + Andrew East

Today we dove into a topic we’ve been talking a lot about ever since we became parents of three kids and that’s “pruning” in our lives. After we became a family of five we really had to sit down and figure out what was the best use of our time and take a look at our top priorities. We ended up having several things we knew we needed to cut out for the sake of the goals we have for our family, marriage and career. We’ve talked so much about this topic and we would love to hear if you can relate :) We hope this episode inspires you to re-evaluate what’s really important to you and align your time and energy with those priorities. We love you guys!
