Stop Dreading Mondays: Choosing Peace Over Stress at This Stage of Life

Good morning and happy Monday! Join me on my morning commute as I reflect on the journey that brought me to where I am today. From the hectic years of raising kids, working, and continuing my education to now looking ahead at retirement in a few years, my perspective on daily stress and work has transformed. I also share why I decided to take on the challenge of learning YouTube, video recording, and editing in my late 50s/early 60s to keep my mind active and build something new. If Monday mornings feel heavy or stressful, let's talk about how to choose an "even keel" mindset, control what you can, and show up as a light for others wherever you are.
