246. Life Update + De-Junking Our Lives (Normal Speed Version!!)

(Updated for regular speed!) Those devilish hits of dopamine can derail us with our choosing a cupcake over a cup of vegetable soup or with our spending an hour doom-scrolling or watching continuous short social media videos when we’d originally planned to spend time with family members. When we choose the “junk” repeatedly over time, it can change the nature and fulfillment of our lives. So how do we make different choices?

Reach out if you're interested in joining the next session of Midlife Health Launchpad -- we can uncover our daily choices that add up to our health status, and work to make them aligned with our goals!
