Trying Times

Ever have someone tell you that you NEED to do something differently to be more productive, or to be better? Well, this one is a backhand at that.

It's not like I got lost as I was going somewhere, but this one's about finding your people and how that can become a little easier to do when you are fully in tact with yourself. So I talk a lot about hobbies, variables and expectations.  Hope you enjoy :)  To keep the convo going: Instagram: @imcarmenkang + @thetryingtimespodcast Twitter: @imcarmenkang anchor.fm/trying-timespodcast

I haven't obviously tried out every single hobby in the world, but I did really work on my own hobbies a little too much during lockdown and now have no clue what to do - and that whole aspect of focus? I don't know her anymore.  Hope you enjoy :)  To keep the convo going: Instagram: @imcarmenkang + @thetryingtimespodcast Twitter: @imcarmen...
