Episode 27: 20 Things Learned in 2020

On his podcast, On Purpose, Jay Shetty shared his 20 lessons learned in 2020 and challenged others to share their lessons learned too. We took you up on the challenge Jay! Michelle and I each made our own top 10 list for ourselves, and took turns sharing them on this episode of the podcast to get to 20 collective lessons learned from us this year.

Maria’s list:

1. Don’t wait for things to be perfect, they never will be.
2. Communication is everything 
3. Tell people you appreciate them. Genuine compliments are always welcome and most adults don’t get enough recognition.
4. Breaks and quiet time are necessary.
5. Self care is more than a face mask, although those are great too. Do things for fun, for your mental health.
6. Community is important. When you can’t be “together” find ways to connect and be with people in other ways that are meaningful.
7. Find joy in other’s successes - you expand your own joy and elevate others in the process.
8. When the world feels like it’s crumbing we come back to what we know and what we can control 
9. There is no point where you say OK now I have solved myself and now I can serve.
10. Vulnerability is powerful. No one has it together, everyone feels like they’re doing their best and imposter syndrome from time to time.

Michelle’s list:

1. Normal, just like perfection does not exist. It is what you need, when you need it.
2. Life is short. Make the most of each and every damn day.
3. Pandemic or otherwise - good and bad things happen period. Learning and growing in these pivotal times, that is what is important.
4. This podcast has become a new way for people to stay connected to us.
5. I “survived” an unintended sabbatical and job searched successfully in a pandemic.
6. Cooking is therapeutic, so is cooking from the heart. 
7. Nature is full of gifts, grateful for the time to explore some of the best WI state parks.
8. Hormonal acne and “mask-ne” are treated completely different than the acne of our teens/20’s.
9. EVERYTHING happens as it is “supposed to” and in good time, sometimes better than how you expect.
10. Love, is everything. I learned to embrace it rather than fight it.
