  Hey Friend!





  Busy. Exhausting. Confusing. Complicated. These adjectives describe modern life, don’t they? And yet….most of us long for a little more simplicity and a little more balance.



  In today’s episode, I chat with the fabulous  Brenda Yoder, a counselor, career woman, and mother, as she shares insights from her new book,  Uncomplicated: Simple Secrets for a Compelling Life.  Drawing from her experiences on a dairy farm and her observations of the Amish in Shipshewana, Indiana, where she makes her home, Brenda highlights how embracing timeless principles and practical problem-solving can help navigate life's complexities.



  Brenda discusses the importance of balanced thinking and a growth mindset, warning against the all-or-nothing mentality that fuels anxiety. Additionally, Brenda emphasizes the significance of essential life skills like foresight and prudence, simplifying decision-making and reducing stress. 



  Whether you aim to create a lasting legacy or simply handle daily challenges more effectively, this episode is filled with practical tips and thoughtful insights you can apply immediately. 



  Join us to learn how to uncomplicate your life and find balance and fulfillment through simplicity.
