“Lifestyle Balance Pie” with a Bald, Gay, Alcoholic! – Part 1 - a podcast by Julian

from 2020-04-06T17:00

:: ::

This episode we’re talking with my friend Jon. What I love about Jon is that he’s really taken ownership of his identity in a way that’s super-empowering as you’ll see.

And the topic…Well we start off going over SMART’s Lifestyle Balance Pie talking about the 3 best and worst areas of our life (HOW FUN! 😀). Then we go deeper talking about boundaries with friends and family. This one is more of a conversation than an interview as I think this is an area I needed to explore in my own life and Jon had some great insights. Of course we start off talking about his favorite inspirational music.

Once you finish this be sure to check out Part 2 of the conversation here.
