QT: All We are Saying, is Give Change a Chance (Best Of-ish)

This post was originally part of Episode 607 released in August of 2018 and is more or less copy and pasted from that post. The audio, however, is a new take on the topic.

I was listening to the Jordan Harbinger Show the other day, and something that was mentioned on the show really stuck with me.

QT: Sometimes a Change Really Will Do You Good

One thing that I struggle with, more than I care to admit, is the idea of change.

We Fear Change

Shocking, I know.

Given how much I talk about routine and being a creature of habit, it’s probably not a shock to hear that I’m not really one who is looking to make a change for change’s sake.

That said, sometimes that’s exactly what needs to be done. Read more
