Hello and welcome to best laid plans.

This is your host, Sarah Hart Unger, and this is the podcast where we talk all things planning and planning adjacent.

It's the beginning of a new year as this episode is airing.

I think you can hear the excitement

in my voice. I'm so excited to begin another year of podcasting at Best Laid Plans. I'm really

just psyched to see what this year brings in terms of the planners that come out, the topics that

come up, the experts that come on the show. And I thought, what better way to kick off the year by having

someone on that focuses on planning around health and wellness goals? I know these things are

often top of mind at the beginning of the year. And this guest brings a nice, light touch.

And I think has a very kind of relaxing vibe the way she speaks in general. So if these topics tend to stress you out,

I think that you will feel better after listening to this episode. Carolyn has a lot of fresh

ideas to share and I think you'll enjoy learning her perspective. So here we go, my interview

with Carolyn Cohen from Wellness While Walking. Well, welcome Carolyn to the show. I'm so excited to have you on.

I was on your show, Wellness While Walking, like maybe a year ago or so, and it was so much

fun.

And so I'm super excited that this came to fruition.

Carolyn, why don't you go ahead and introduce yourself?

Well, thank you so much, Sarah.

It's such an honor and a joy to be here because I love your show.

It's one of my top favorite shows to listen to. So this is fantastic. And you were on my show

in November of 2021. So it was a while ago. So I'm really excited to reconnect. I am a health coach.

I've been a health coach for almost 15 years now. And I kind of came to it a little bit in an unusual way. I'm sort of a confederate. My mom was a health nut sort of ahead of her time. And I rejected all that stuff. I was like I was, you know, I felt restricted. And it was all to keep my dad alive who is alive still.
