Being Better Everyday Podcast
Welcome to the Being Better Everyday podcast. I’m your host, Julie Wenzlick, a millennial mom, finance professional and founder of P&W Designs. I know that as a mom, business owner, corporate girly or a combination of all three like myself, sometimes life can feel like a lot days can feel like they speed by from one required activity to another, where you sit down at the end of the day and go, What the heck just happened? It’s time to change that. It’s time to feel alive in your life. I’ve spent the better part of the last five years learning and being intentional about working on myself, awakening my life, and learning how I need to grow. Those intentional action steps were a lot. I learned a lot. My 30s is for growth and for believing in my work. Being better every day isn’t about negativity for where you are or where you’ve been. It’s about choosing you, choosing happiness and choosing to live a life with intention. Through this podcast, we will explore the habits, routines and systems that craft the vision you want for your life without the overwhelming chaos of the everyday. I do not believe in the hustle. I believe in creating systems to support your life that you desire while supporting also your mental health. I’m about taking small steps every day. I want you to feel alive, happy, fulfilled and peaceful. So grab those headphones, lace up those shoes, and tune in to the Being Better Everyday podcast.
