Episode Notes:

After a well-deserved ten-week break filled with family and travel, Leslie and Leslyn are ready for a new year for the podcast! The episode starts with Leslie and Leslyn catching up with each other and you, the listener. With the end to a very active year, comes fresh ideas, and a new direction for the podcast. Leslie and Leslyn brought you 40 insightful episodes covering a wide variety of topics last year, having Leslyn outline a few episodes about communication from the first season, that even she keeps going back to. All of the episodes from the first season can be revisited at any time on their website trythisathome.com anytime you feel you need a refresher!

Leslie and Leslyn introduce their new season by welcoming a few changes into the podcast. The goal for the podcast originally was to leave the listeners with a tangible item, such as a printable worksheet or a concept to try. As the podcast continues to grow and evolve, some of the topics that Leslie and Leslyn will discuss do not fit so neatly into this box, so they adapt! The main goal is to really get you to think—think about an idea that we work through on every episode and try it at home!

Leslie and Leslyn will offer you their perspectives and experience on an idea each episode that will allow the listener to become more open-minded. Being more open-minded bring a healthier, happier, successful, and more connected you! Leslyn believes that there is a strong connection between thinking about other’s perspectives and broadening the possibilities an individual can achieve. This podcast will now strive to leave you with a burning question at the end of each episode to try at home. Proposing such a burning question, makes room for more meaningful and fulfilling questions while at the same time allowing the individuals to grow.

It is briefly discussed the questions of passive permission, giving you a sneak peek into a future topic on the show. When is something your business? How do you know when it’s a judgment and when it’s standing up for your own values? These are just a few questions to ponder to get your mind eager for the new season!

Another incorporation into this year’s season is the introduction of giveaways! Many chances to win will be introduced, and even the chance to win a book that Leslie and Leslyn have recommended! Want to win? Follow us for more information on our social media platforms!

In Season 2 of Try This at Home the two hosts will point out some of their favorites ideas and gadgets allowing for more conversations of interesting things to be incorporated. Leslie and Leslyn noticed how well their book recommendations went on the last season of the podcast and now have a new goal of sharing at least one book a month to their listeners. Are you interested in these book recommendations? Would you like to be part of a Try This at Home Book Club? If you are interested, please let Leslie and Leslyn know by reaching out through any of their social media platforms! Us at Try This at Home would love to hear from you!

With the excitement of new goals and plans for the new year, Leslie and Leslyn discuss resolutions. Do you keep resolutions? Leslie makes them every year and strives to achieve something and not really dwell on “failures”. Making these personal goals allows you to reflect on your achievements throughout the year and see how much you have accomplished!

You don’t necessarily need to make it a “resolution”. Let’s yourself think deeply about how you would like to personally grow this year. Some ideas may be to grow in patience, be more kind, or strive to become a better communicator. What do you want to do personally, and how do you want to grow your heart?
