Hello 2018! So, as we all set our resolutions/goals/mantras/focus areas, what we often forget to do is to figure out what (or who) we're going to let go of in order to actually achieve that goal.  Today's episode is all about how to do that, what to choose, how to implement it, etc.  I'd love to hear what you let go of.

"You might have cancer." Those are words that none of us want to hear, especially not if you have three kids at home. When Meredith Masony heard those words, she initially went into productivity mode - cooking freezer meals for her family, considering creating an online dating profile for her partner - but thankfully the surgery proved that she was cancer-free. The result of an experience like this for Meredith was that she examined the life that she was living and decided that she wanted to do more. She created That's Inappropriate, a community built around ensuring that women don't feel alone in the craziness that can be motherhood, partnership, and general life.
