Wow… it’s good to be back! Kicking 2023 off by reintroducing myself for new listeners, and a quick refresher for long-time listeners. Let’s talk about why I started Fun on Weekdays, what it meant to me when I started in 2021 and what it means to me now. I’ll catch you up to speed on what has happened in the past month, and set the tone for what to expect in 2023! A lot has changed in my life since starting - I have a boyfriend, I have a different job, new friends, a dog, etc, but Fun on Weekdays remains the same. My mentality is to make the most of every day, find joy in the little moments, make dreams happen, and not treat fun like a reward that is reserved for the weekend.Sign-up for my NewsletterJoin my Facebook groupThis podcast is sponsored by Macy’s.

Am I just a Libra or do I have undiagnosed ADHD? According to TikTok, both. According to my dms, I’m a multipotentialite. One day I’m obsessed with event planning, the next I’m dead set on working in a bridal store, a few days later I’m planning to be a makeup artist, and 3 weeks ago I wanted to be a pilates instructor. What’s so wrong with having multiple passions and not being able to choose which one to pursue? In all seriousness, I’ve learned that my short attention span can actually be a really empowering quality that keeps me on my toes and always trying new things in life! I give you an update on my bridal store interviews, pilates training, and drop some news… spoiler alert, I’M HIRING AN ASSISTANT! Just a couple episodes left in 2022 and I’m ending the year by pursuing the growth of Fun on Weekdays. <3 Join my Facebook group.This podcast is sponsored by Macy’s.
