Have you ever noticed how all the pieces of your life seem to go together? When your house is a mess, your head feels like a mess; when you’re worried about your relationships it’s hard to focus on work or play, and all of it can drain your energy and leave you spiraling downward into negativity. In this episode of the Mother of Reinvention Show, I talk with Meaghan Murphy, Editor-In-Chief of Woman’s Day Magazine, about what she learned about positivity, energy, productivity and more while writing her book Your Fully Charged Life. She’s full of practical and doable ideas that will help you “charge up” all areas of your life, from health and relationships to work, family, and more. We also talk about changes in the publishing industry and what it’s like to completely revamp and run a major newsstand magazine from a home office in the middle of a pandemic. Meaghan’s energy is infectious and I know you’re going to love this conversation!
