It’s easy to get stuck in a cycle of constant busyness, packing too much into our days, spinning our wheels without making real progress. We fall into the trap of trying to do everything for everyone, leaving little room for ourselves. With the summer weeks ahead, it’s time to do something for you.
In this quick dip, Rachel and Sarah share four books that are essential reading over the summer break. Books that teach us how to focus on what truly matters, tune into the present, manage our emotional tone, and reduce unnecessary stress.
And FrogXtra members get even more book recommendations, so be sure to join FrogXtra today and check your members-only podcast feed for July.
