Empowering Women Through Pilates with Kinzi Hall May 22, 2023

Raised in a family that owned a dance studio, Kinzi Hall became immersed in the world of movement from an early age. At just 12 years old, she stepped into her first teaching role, sharing the joy and discipline of dance with others. By the time she was 16, she was already lending a hand to her mother in managing the family business.

Thus, Kinzi created Powercore with a vision to provide an oasis away from the commotion of everyday life. It was to be a haven where people could not only improve their physical strength but also feel welcome, appreciated, and empowered.
Kinzi brings her passion for dance and fitness to every class she teaches.

Perfection is a Myth & Progress is the Goal ft. Luke Hessler Nov 16, 2022

Today Tanya sits down with Luke Hessler on the Made Easy Method Podcast. Luke Hessler, a branding expert, is the founder and CEO of INS Branding, a digital marketing agency helping individuals improve online reputations through personal branding, social media & digital press.

Hessler started his career with a Network Marketing company, but originally failed to gain traction because no one would take him seriously as a businessman. Being looked down on as a broke college student, Hessler realized the importance of building credibility and reputation in the public eye.

He then started transforming his online presence from a casual college student to that of a serious professional, which is when things started falling into place. Hessler eventually built an organization of 30,000+ people by not only leveraging his online reputation to recruit top talent, but by teaching leaders in his organization how to do it as well!

Branding changed his life, and now Hessler wants others to benefit from his knowledge. He realized that most people struggle to utilize social media despite the endless tools and opportunities. But in order to get on the right path, one must realize that perfection is a myth, and progress is the goal.
In this episode, Tanya and Luke talk about knowing the power to pivot, important tools in social media, and making connections across the globe. As a business owner, Luke shares the offerings of his business and explains the core steps he takes his clients through: Intention, Foundation, Attention, Conversion, and Retention.

Tanya's husband, Jeremy, passed away April of 2021 from a Widowmaker heart attack. The number one thing Tanya wants to achieve with this episode is helping to educate those you love around this topic. If you yourself have had any kind of heart issues, or someone in your family has, talk to your kids and then your grandkids and pass this information forward.
NOTE: Tanya is not a medical professional. Consult with your doctor on your heart health before modifying anything with your diet or health.
Tanya wants to share her husband's story in the hope that it will encourage other middle-aged men and women to get a heart scan (coronary calcium scan). This simple test could save your life or the life of someone you love.
What is Coronary Artery Disease?
Coronary artery disease is the buildup of plaque in the arteries that supply blood to the heart. Over time, this plaque can harden and narrow the arteries, making it difficult for blood to flow through. This can lead to chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, and, in some cases, a heart attack.
Unfortunately, coronary artery disease often has no symptoms in its early stages. This means that many people don't realize they have the condition until it's too late. That's why getting a heart scan is so important.
What is a Heart Scan?
A heart scan is a simple test that uses low-dose CT to take pictures of your heart and check for calcium deposits in your arteries. Calcium deposits are an early sign of coronary artery disease. If your test shows that you have calcium deposits, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll have a heart attack—but it does mean you're at higher risk and should take steps to reduce that risk.
Who Should Get a Heart Scan?
The American Heart Association recommends that all adults over the age of 40 get a heart scan every 5 years if they're at average risk for coronary artery disease or every 2 years if they're at high risk (due to factors such as diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, smoking, or family history). However, many insurance companies won't cover the cost of the test unless you're considered high risk—so be sure to check with your insurer before scheduling your appointment.
If you're over the age of 40 and have never had a heart scan (coronary calcium scan), I urge you to make an appointment with your doctor today. This simple test could save your life or the life of someone you love—as it nearly did for my husband. I hope our story will encourage others to get tested and help prevent needless tragedies like ours from happening again.
