084: You'll Die With a To-Do List

Cultivate What Matters

In today’s episode, Kelley and Casey chat about the idea that you will die with a to-do list, and how that can inform the way we prioritize our lives and define what matters. If you are feeling like your to-do list is never ending, or if you struggle with procrastination, we hope this episode will give you a new perspective to re-evaluate your tasks and live intentionally. We are all learning, but what a joy it is to do so together! We’re so glad you’re here!
