241. 5 Significant Changes We're Making in 2024

Welcome back to the show, everyone, and, of course, welcome to 2024! I know we're all geared up with fresh planners and lists of goals for the new year, but instead of my typical goal-setting chat, I want to reveal the five significant changes we're making in 2024 to infuse our days with purpose!

Jesse and I are shaking things up and putting purpose-filled actions behind our plans. We are tweaking our daily routine in five significant ways, including getting up and out the door by 7:25 a.m., ensuring our little ones are cozy in bed by 7:30 p.m. This isn't just about change for the sake of change, it's about aligning our lives more closely with our priorities, and I fully believe these adjustments will help us do just that.

We also discuss other tweaks that we will be making in 2024, such as changes to my blog and our commitment to ABC date nights! Creativity will reign supreme as we aim for 26 creatively-themed date nights throughout the year. Have you crafted any changes for 2024? Drop me an email or slide into my Instagram Dms to let me know! We can't wait to hear from you!
