WE DISCUSS:

She wrote this book as a roadmap for herself

It took her a year to feel balanced again and she realized the first 90 days were key. She began removing obstacles.  She had to figure out who she was.  She was a wife and now was a single woman.  She surveyed the surroundings in order to survive.

The book is about figuring out who you are again.

Planning your time and being organized is essential.

Be the architect of your life.

Tamsen decluttered her apartment.  She didn’t leave her home – so she re-did the bedroom, kitchen, and closets.  Repainted furniture.  She got rid of anything that didn’t serve her or reminded her of him. She made the space feel like her instead.

She ended up in $100,000 worth of debt and we discuss how she got out.

How to stop looking for “the one more thing”.  Looking for closure.  One more sentence.  One more question.

The importance of talking with friends and finding support through a therapist and other resources. And so much more…

TAMSEN’S 3 BEST TIPS FOR LIVING A GOOD LIFE:

Make peace with the past – stop misremembering it and start romancing the future. 

Decide what you want and go after that.  Write it down to set a roadmap. Use vision boards.

Live your someday, today.
