Episode 219: Preparing Imperfectly

It can be really helpful to let go of perfectionism when preparing for big things. Shannon is embracing imperfection in her preparations for her much-anticipated trip to Portugal. This episode Shannon and Janine discuss preparing imperfectly as a way to free yourself from stress. Discussion topics include: • Shannon's (imperfect) preparation for her month-long trip to Portugal • Shannon's itinerary • The 175-mile solo walking part of her trip • Janine's over preparation for her 4,000-mile solo driving trip in 2020 • Asking for help in finding the right backpack • The kindness of Shannon's naturopath in lending her a backpack • Shannon's walking footwear • How Shannon is figuring out what clothing to take on the trip • Shrugging off the stress of potentially making the wrong decision • Shannon's mantra: "It will be fine. I can always make a different choice." Note: We'll be taking a few weeks off while Shannon is in Portugal. See you back on October 13!
