On this week’s episode of Live Well Anyway the Podcast, your host MacKenzie Koppa chats with author, speaker and creative coach Allison Fallon. Ally’s new book, The Power of Writing It Down, is the main topic of their conversation today. They talk about how Allison recommends getting your words and your story on the page and getting past the things that block you from doing that. Allison shares why the practice of writing works to shift our perspective and change the way we think and act. They get pretty deep into what to do when you have experienced trauma and how journalling can help move the healing process along. There is so much practical goodness in this conversation, that we think you will want to listen to this episode more than once, and get your hands on Allison’s book!

Today on Live Well Anyway, MacKenzie and Katie back to talk all about looking forward to the New Year with hope and how to approach our planning and goal setting in light of all the uncertainty of our times. MacKenzie lays out her step by step method of planning and challenges Katie (and us!) to follow these steps to set goals for new habits and routines in 2021. Brain Dump: assess where you currently are in different areas of your life. Envision: think about the life you want to have and what practices are going to get you there. Practices vs. Projects: consider what are the building blocks of your daily life as opposed to one-time tasks that will facilitate your daily practices. Back Up Plan: decide what are you base level things that you need to do even on the days when everything else falls apart. Track Your Progress: write down what you have done to have a record of your progress in even the small steps. Come Together: find accountability with a friend or group of people to help keep you on track and give you perspective.   LINKS MENTIONED Subscribe to MacKenzie’s YouTube Channel Sign up for MacKenzie’s newsletter “Well, anyway…” Sign up for Katie’s newsletter “Moving Into Light” Follow MacKenzie on Instagram @mackenziekoppa Follow Katie on Instagram @katiemduckett Katie’s website is KatieDuckett.com Live Well Anyway Facebook Group Smartless podcast WHERE TO FIND THE SHOW Apple Podcasts Google Play Music Spotify Player FM JOIN US ON PATREON Live Well Together!
