Welcome to another episode of the Me Skills Podcast, where we lean into self-love and great ideas that build a better life. In this episode, Kelly & Tish chat about the upcoming (January 2025) Stretch Yourself Challenge – personal development edition ;-) Kelly wanted to get Tish’s reaction to the 10 challenge ideas she’s come up with and to talk through what each one might look like. After that, we rabbit trailed into a whole new discussion around a few different topics – diabetes & weight loss drugs, managing physical pain, importance of physical activity, and more. (Note: this episode, as usual, contains swearing. 😉) Note Worthy Timestamps:

• [00:02:29] – Kelly explains what the Stretch Yourself Challenge is (what it used to be and what it’ll be like now).
