36: How to live your life on purpose with Sarah Von Bargen of Yes and Yes

Today I’m so excited to have on to the Sunday Soother podcast one of my internet girl crushes - Sarah Von Bargen of YesAndYes.org. Sarah is a writer and educator who helps her audience spend their time, money, and energy on purpose. In a time today when many of us are probably reflecting on what is necessary in our lives and what is not, what makes us happy and what doesn’t, and how we want to spend our days intentionally going forward after social distancing, this podcast and Sarah’s insights are just a wealth of useful and practical information. 

This was recorded in early March, right as COVID-19 was starting to impact the U.S., but before social distancing and stay-at-home orders.

In our conversation, we dive into a lot of great stuff: 

• The difference between habits and goals
• If your astrological signs impact how you set goals and get stuff done
• Sarah’s 12-step yet simple morning routine
• How to practically rewire your brain to make good habits easier 
• Why we’re both secretly rebels who question the practicality of how society is set up today 
• The biggest blockers most people face when starting to create helpful habits
• Why we as humans believe the most complicated solution is the best - when it’s usually not 
• How your success is often correlated to your willingness to be uncomfortable 
• And so much more!
