August can be tricky, so I'm doing it differently this year

August can be a tricky month.Whether you have children, don't have children, go on holiday, don't go on holiday - things do shift a bit, and there's a few things happening at The Silent Why HQ that are a bit different too.Welcome to another episode from me, Claire Sandys, host of The Silent Why podcast. This one is a bit of an update on what's happening over the next few weeks, and why, but it also contains some encouragement for you in this funny old month we call August. I've decided to take some time over the next few weeks of August and September to focus on my fiction writing and I'm very excited about it. This means that I'll be putting out episodes every other week, rather than weekly, until mid-September.I'm not the only one doing this, I've seen other people choosing August as a time to step back a bit from the day-to-day work and focus on other areas that get neglected - maybe that's an idea for you too if you run your own business or do a lot of content creation?However, in September I'm back with some great topics to look at for our 101 losses list, and you hear a sneak peak of what they are in this episode. And this episode isn't just an update, I've also included the blog I did on The Season of August, to encourage those who might be struggling with, or daunted by, the month ahead.And if you'd prefer to read the original blog post, you can find it here: https://www.thesilentwhy.com/post/theseasonofaugustDon't forget you can support the show, and ultimately fuel my tea drinking while I'm writing over the summer by visiting Buy Me A Coffee (link below). Send us Fan MailSupport the show-----thesilentwhy.com  |  Instagram  |  Facebook  |  Twitter  |  LinkedIn What's a Herman? / Buy a Herman - thehermancompany.comSupport the show: buymeacoffee.com/thesilentwhySign-up to my mailing list (only used for sharing news occasionally!): thesilentwhy.com/newsletterHow to talk to the grieving:  thesilentwhy.com/post/howtotalktothegrievingReview the show: Apple Podcasts  |  Spotify  |  GoodpodsEpisode transcripts: thesilentwhy.buzzsprout.comThank you for listening.
