The 12/10 by Nadja Olivera

There are ninety days left in this year. Most of us will run them down to nothing. Halloween, then Christmas, then January first, where we finally lock in. Until we wait for spring. Until it is Christmas again. And the loop repeats. Not this year. In this episode I am talking about what I realized on my flight home from Greece, journaling at 30,000 feet, connecting with the woman I want to be on December 31st. What she looks like.

This episode is different. No framework. No science. No stories. Just a letter. One I wrote for you. And for me. Listen to this whenever you doubt yourself.
