Waffles Friends Work

Don’t get me wrong, I fudging love Halloween with kids. But there is *always* something, especially when you’re coordinating school and work and friend Halloween shenanigans.

The circle of control has come up a few times as we’ve been discussing boundaries.

A common misuse of the term “boundary” is if there is anything outside of your circle of control. Meaning, if you are expecting anybody to change their behavior, you aren’t actually setting a boundary.

The good news? Your circle of control is actually probably a lot bigger than you think it is. And we’ll get into that more this season!

Jensie might be half in photo, but she is ALL in on our new season. We’re going to be digging into boundaries!! What do you want to learn?

The Anns to our Leslies, the Keeleys to our Rebeccas, the Rachels to our Monicas. Where would we be without our noble galentines?

Tag your #1 gal pal and we'll enter you into a drawing for one of our Galentine's journals!

With the first month of the year coming to a close, it's possible you're already losing steam on your new year's resolutions. Annnnd you're probably not alone. In episode 7, we talk about to set goals that stick by using our tried, proved, tested, and approved, branded 5-step goal process (patent pending).

During afternoon nap walks with my new baby, I listened to Atomic Habits by . It was a great read at this stage of my life. A lot of things are changing and it’s time to set new routines and, surprise, build new habits.

I found this book incredibly refreshing and surprisingly values-centered. You can read more about my thoughts on it at the link in our stories. 😊

It’s been a year?! How is that possible?

It’s been a crazy year for us at Waffles Friends Work. Jensie and I both got new jobs, which took more of our energy than we expected. And then to add to the crazy, Jensie rescued a crazy dog (Ham) and my husband and I had a baby(!!).

Welcome to the family, Ham and Graham! (And no, we didn’t plan to have such well coordinated names 😜.)

We have exciting things coming this year: more episodes, new topics, more Parks and Rec swag, and (my personal favorite), a values-setting workbook. Stay tuned for the fun.

Now seems like a good time to go back to episode 2 and spend some time thinking about how you can live in alignment with your values for YOURSELF. Do it!

Lots of folks set a reading goal for the year. Jensie likes to set a goal for reading both "fun" books (mostly super smutty romance) and "development" books. The first of these on her list is Nedra Tawwab's book "Set Boundaries, Find Peace" - which is totally a spoiler for the theme of the second season of WFW. What are you reading right now?
