Soul and Wit

Cyndie Spiegel is a born storyteller–turned–writer. She is a beloved inspirational speaker, author, wife, kitten raiser and plant propagator. Her new book, Microjoys came from a time of months of Loss and grief which came at her in crashing waves, and she found it nearly impossible to surface for happiness, except in small moments that she began to call "microjoys" -- little bits of beauty or pleasure or unexpected light amidst the darkness.   PATREON: Support us on Patreon here!    Episode Notes and Resources:  Cyndie Spiegel New Book: Microjoys When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chodron  https://www.cyndiespiegel.com/ Cyndie on Instagram   If you are interested in sponsoring an episode of Soul & Wit, contact us here: soulandwitpodcast@gmail.com   Where you can find us: Bailey: @beautifuldetour or www.beautifuldetour.com Courtney: @bemorewithless or www.bemorewithless.com

In this episode, Courtney & Bailey are happy to welcome in 2023 in a very NON new year, new you way. You don’t need to be new or different because it’s a new year! All month they’ll be focused on wellness and recognizing that living well looks different for everyone. They share their definitions of living well and while some things are different, one thing they both agree on is that they are anti-wellness culture and anti-weight loss resolutions. Reflect on what “living well” means to you so you can decide if you want to make any shifts or changes or not.    Favorite Things Bailey: Golden Coil Planner Giant Wall Planner   Favorite Things Courtney:Walking Pad My living well notebook    PATREON:Support us on Patreon here!
