In the self-development space, there's often so much content about "seizing the new year."   I can sometimes find it exhausting, so today, I wanted to share a shortie episode with an idea that you might not even use just yet. Today, let's talk about *travel.*   I share the story of how I realized this little idea was worth sharing + a little more about how I implement it.   I hope this is helpful to you in some way. Even if you aren’t traveling right now, you can keep it in your back pocket and use it when needed.   Subscribe to my newsletter for encouraging + helpful insights every Sunday: katieseaver.com/newsletter   Follow me on Instagram: @thisiskatieseaver   Learn more about working with me, or just learn more about my background + why I became a coach: katieseaver.com

If you’re starting to dream about the new year, I want to propose something that would significantly improve your year: Start a women’s group in 2025.   I'm calling it a "women's group" - but this episode is for men, too. I talk about what this kind of group *is*, my own experiences starting one, how we run our meetings, and what I think works well for us.   Just having a richer, deeper support system can make such a difference in our lives — I know it has for me. And I want to remind you that even if it doesn’t “just happen” naturally, you can make it happen — and that doesn’t have to be a bad thing. It would be such a blessing for your 2025, and for all who you include in that circle.   Subscribe to my newsletter for encouraging + helpful insights every Sunday: katieseaver.com/newsletter   Follow me on Instagram: @thisiskatieseaver   Learn more about working with me, or just learn more about my background + why I became a coach: katieseaver.com
