Good morning Reader, Happy New Year! I'm sure your inbox is overflowing with New Year's offers, gym specials, and "reboot" programs. It can feel overwhelming. I've been writing this newsletter for over a decade and I've been on the receiving end of those same emails myself. Through my own journey and coaching others, I've found that setting big, lofty goals can feel daunting and later hard to sustain. Let's appreciate where we are right now, work with what we have and the people in our lives. I'll meet you where you are and help you find a path with intention to more joy. There will be ups and downs along the way. I'll help you use the challenges towards growth. Schedule an initial coaching session HERE. I can't wait to connect with you 1:1 soon. The link above will take you directly to my scheduling page. If you don't see what you need, simply reply to this email and I'll see what I can do! Warmly, Bita |

Hi friend, Are you feeling the back-to-school energy? Whether you have kids or not, chances are you've been a kid and probably remember the nervous energy around getting school supplies, cramming in last days of summer fun, only to hunker down into some form of a routine and a schedule. On the upcoming Modern Persian Food podcast roster we will be doing a Back to School/ Back to Basics series breaking down a Persian meal that we are hoping will be easy to add to weekly meal plans.
