Monday Motivation: So It's Come To This, A Choose Your Struggle Flashback Show

Today's Monday Motivation is a flashback to the 5th episode of this podcast, the first with a guest, featuring Kristen Zavo. One, because I love Kristen, and two because I want y'all to hear how far we've come in the last almost two years. I recorded this in a closet in Charleston, South Carolina while we were in the early, EARLY days of the Covid lockdown.

Holy shit the original theme! My first give away! Awful sound quality! Thinking an episode dropping a week later is a long wait AMAZING!

The title of this episode is a wink at a famous episode of a TV show. Know what it is? The first person to reach out and tell me the right answer will get a Choose Your Struggle tank top sent to them for being just so dang smart. 

As a special bonus, anyone who leaves The Choose Your Struggle Podcast a review on the site of their choice and show us proof will get 25% off a tank top or, if you already own one, a care package of other Choose Your Struggle items on the house! Just take a screen shot or a pic with your phone and send it to info@jayshifman.com with your address and your choice.

What do you think? Everyone who responds, either by social media or my website, will get a sticker mailed to them. The first person to respond each week will get a magnet! So reach out or post something on your personal social media and tag me (and maybe share the show in the process?)!

If something in this episode upsets you, or makes you feel a certain way, take a moment and do some mindfulness. When you have the words, the thought thrashed out, send it to me! Share the podcast, tell the world your thoughts. That's how we make change.

No Good Egg or Card on Monday episodes.
