Work and Play with Nancy Ray

Well, I'm trying something new here on Work and Play with Nancy Ray and that is months that have themes. So the theme of April is rest and this conversation is not going to disappoint. I'm talking to Jess Connolly today all about why women are so tired. We're all so tired and this conversation is full of practical and spiritual answers as to why we're so tired and what we can do differently. Guys, this conversation was so good, I decided to divide it into two episodes. I can't wait for you to hear it and I think it fits perfectly with the theme of rest for this April. Enjoy and come back next week to hear part 2!

We live in a time where rest and play are very hard to come by. It can even be looked down on in our culture and often it feels impossible with the busy nature of our lives and schedules. Today's episode is hopefully going to be encouraging to you to make time to rest and play a little bit more.

Today's episode is so special! We have Barbara Hemphill chatting with us about how to manage all of the stuff and clutter in our lives. Guys, she has been doing this for over 40 years! She is THE pioneer to the decluttering industry. Before minimalism was a thing, she was out there helping people declutter their homes. She has so many systems and so much wisdom. I feel like I could talk to her for hours and never get tired of it. It's such a great conversation - so valuable and helpful. I plan to go back and re-listen to it and take notes. I'm so excited! It was so good that we're splitting it across two episodes so you'll get to hear from Barbara this week and next week. Get excited because it's a good one.

So today's episode is all about 5 tools that I am using right now that have helped me take a financial reset.
