  • Have More Fun with Co-op Games
    Jun 2 2021

    Think back to all the classic games you might have played as a kid: Monopoly, Uno, RISK, Skip-Bo, Sorry, Battleship… the list goes on but they all have one thing in common - they are competitive. And if you’re like me, a naturally competitive person from a competitive family, these games always ended in hard feelings when the whole point of playing them was to have a fun night together as a family.

    I’m here to tell you there’s a better way. In this episode, I’ll introduce you to the magical world of cooperative (or co-op) games and how they might just make board games and video games the go-to for your Friday night with friends and family alike.

    Thank you to our sponsor, Serenity Flow Arts for making this episode possible!

    Have you ever found yourself dancing around the truth and giving conditions to your “no’s?” When it comes to setting boundaries, many of us struggle with pleasing others, but I’ve found that by being clear, concise, and honest, I can have deeper, more successful relationships.

    Come dive into the conversation with me this week about what healthy boundaries look like and how to set them to reduce stress and make more time for the things that are most important to you.
