Ep 244: In this episode, Allison and Ceara talk about a trend on social media that’s all about creating your “personal curriculum” to follow your curiosity, tap into your inner child and romanticize learning after graduation. Intellectual wellness is one of the 8 dimensions of wellness (that we’ve talked about here many times) so this is a great way to tune into that energy! We share free resources, suggest various topics to study, ways to implement this idea, our current fall curriculums, and tips to stay accountable. Developing your own class schedule should be fun and attainable because as the teacher, you can take this any direction that inspires or enriches you whether that’s hobbies, art, music, financials, literature, wellness, business, fitness, history or anything in-between.In this catch up segment, we talk “low-spend September” and supporting small businesses. We share fun things to do in September like going to the apple orchard, a fitness challenge, and hosting tea parties with friends.
