Growing up, I rarely cleaned anything. I liked how it felt to have things clean, but I didn't know how to do it, I didn't know how to maintain it, and so I basically lived in piles, cleaning occasionally when I had to. Now "cleaning" is one of my favorite things to do--because it lifts and replenishes me--and there are 5 principles I believe will help you transform your relationship with cleaning, as well! Hope you enjoy today's podcast! Show Notes can be found at...

We had one of the best ARISE conversations a few months ago with my personal coach and cognitive behavioral therapist, Mike Christensen. I have researched and personally experienced the power of the "TEAM-CBT" methods for 7+ years, and I'd say this is the #1 resource that I turn to whenever I'm feeling anxious, discouraged, angry, etc. It is incredibly practical, and I've used these methods to help my family and friends, as well. If you are looking to gain new tools for managing anxiety,...
