Ep. 116 Baking Cookies with Mom The holidays can bring up very intense emotions, both positive and negative for people.  Some people feel euphoria knowing Christmas is just around the corner, others feel dread and sorrow. For me, I have felt both.  In today's episode I take you through my journey in life from having Christmas be the most magical times of the year, to one of the darkest.  And more recently, how it is starting to come back to being a special time of year that I love. In this episode I share some small things you can do in a season, relationship, or situation that has taken a turn for the worse, to help turn them around.  Anything can be made magical again with the right perspective and the willingness to put in the time and energy to reignite the spark.  I love you all, Merry Christmas.  - Brian    OVERCOMING GRADUATION SHOW NOTES:  If you are tired of bad habits running your life and want to shift your habits so they are pulling you forward instead of holding you back, I would love to connect.
