Katrina Norman of The Mom Chronicle on expectations versus acceptance. Episode 693: Expectations Versus Acceptance by Katrina Norman of The Mom Chronicle on Accepting Others & Self Realization Katrina Norman is on a journey to discover herself a little more every day. One of the tools to help her get there is how she interacts with the little people that emerged from within her. She is looking at the "me" in her relationships with the most vulnerable around her, her children. She is thinking of those moments of awareness where she is stripped bare in her role as mother and nurturer. She is using this as a mirror to focus on the raw, real, naked soul inside of her.

Rebecca Crespo of Minimalism Made Simple shares an essential guide on how to let go of someone. Episode 691: An Essential Guide on How to Let Go of Someone by Rebecca Crespo of Minimalism Made Simple on Deal Breakers Rebecca is a New York native living in Spain. She started her journey of minimal living 3 years ago, when she decided to leave the soul-sucking corporate world and fit only her essential items into a small red carry-on, to fulfill her lifelong dream of traveling the world. Within those 3 years she learned that experiences are her vessels, and to be more intentional with the life she leads. Rebecca hopes her blog inspires you to explore your own journey of minimal living, one that is not defined by others, but rather a journey that is defined by one person and one person only - YOU.
