Do you know how to be yourself? Have you taken the time to sit with yourself, learn who you are, and what you want out of life? Often times we delay our potential and our ability to step into our greatness because we are fighting our most natural identity, or even continue living in a confused state. Jessica Zweig is here to help us understand how we can create a conscious life, one that allows us to simply be ourselves. She teaches three main concepts on the path to significant growth; how to deal, how to heal, and how to thrive. Also, she explains why we all naturally crave a sense of belonging at our deepest core and how we can peel back the the blanket of loneliness that 2020 laid over many of us during the global pandemic.

A jump from the field of audio to health, nutrition, and fitness, wouldn't land perfectly when taken overnight. How then did Abel James, the man of the show today, get his mind and body dedicated to teaching and practising good health and nutrition? Join Chase on this episode of the Ever Forward Radio as he interviews Abel 'Fat-Burning Man' James, who is a number one best-selling author, a top-10 app developer, musician, radio talk show host, celebrity coach and entrepreneur. He is also the host of the podcast, 'The Fat-Burning Man Show', which is at the top of the charts in many countries around the world.
In the era of exhaustive diets and fitness regimes, listening and understanding what your body really needs can be difficult but not impossible. We need to get rid of the things we do not use and focus on that which needs to be prioritized.
"I need to keto harder" or "I need to diet harder" are only rants to trick or force yourself into doing things to please others.
This is where being like a kid can help. Children enjoy doing things and do it for the fun of the process and learning through it. What's more, they are invisibly rewarded for it later on in their lives. Something which doesn't give you immediate rewards, could have something better in store for your future.
Practise healthy eating. Cutting out completely on the carbs or the proteins could just not go well with your body. Abel stresses the need to replace the term "fruits and vegetables" with "vegetables and fruits". Do you see why he does that? You need to reverse the priority you give to the two!
Focus your energy in the right direction and invest in those that are good for you.
Tune in to the complete episode for some amazing tips on healthy eating, exercise and living a life you love!
