Writing can be good for the soul. I think so and so does Jen Shakeel (https://jenshakeelcps.com/). A writer in her own right (no pun intended), Jen also helps people tell their own stories through ghost writing and writing out their feelings, worries and issues through her life coach business. Jen and Karyn talk about the power of writing and how writing can help anyone get in touch with themselves, what matters most and what they want to be.

Treating the Whole Person Mar 20, 2018

Show notes

Changing your health habits starts way before you pick a meal plan or find the perfect exercise. According to Dr. Dani (http://www.drdaniphd), it starts with behavior and emotion (the head and the heart). We talk about why there is no one size-fits-all answer for developing healthy habits and how a lack of belief in the ability to change can make all the difference.

Small changes can make big differences. Better yet, they can instill hope and confidence and that is the start of healthy changes that stick.

Being the Man She Wants Mar 13, 2018

Show notes

What is manhood? How is it defined? What does it look like in action? And, what is it that women are looking for in a man. Elliott Katz, author of Being the Strong Man a Woman Wants: Timeless Wisdom Being the Strong Man A Woman Wants: Timeless wisdom on being a man, stopped by to discuss what it means to be a strong man really means.

Our discussion was a timely one. We delved into how men have changed over the decades. We looked at the role of men in the MeToo movement. We also had a very interesting discussion between being a nice man and a passive man. Finally, what women crave from a man and often do not get. Listen in.

Be the Tortoise Not the Hare Mar 06, 2018

Show notes

Sleep
Food
Exercise
Mood

These are the four areas that result in healthy habits and, if you want it, weight loss. Can't sleep? It will be more difficult to make good food choices, exercise or be in a good mood. Not making healthy food choices? You could be suffering from a lack of energy (no exercise), a flucctuating mood and a restless night of sleep. You get the idea.

Health coach Kim Acedo helps clients tackle one area at a time to make real and lasting change. Because, like the fable tells us: slow but study wins the race!

Get Offline and Go Out Feb 20, 2018

Show notes

Cynthia D'Amour (http://www.CynthiaOfLove.com) is a love strategist. Unlike most dating experts, she encourages her clients (and us) to get off-line and actually go out and meet people, the old fashioned way, in person. She talks to women about abandoning antiquated notions of dating and taking charge of their dating life. The days of waiting for him to notice you are over. In fact, dating is a lot like shopping. Jean and Karyn had so much fun and learned so much speaking with Cynthia, that the long discussion was broken down into two episodes. This is the first part!
