#128: Three Unexpected Tips To Get Your Motivation Back Dec 26, 2018

Show notes

Motivation seems to be one of those tricky words that fall into the same category as willpower. I've debated and questioned if it is a limited resource just like willpower and the more we rely on it the more we expend it. Or is it like a muscle that the more you use it the more you can build it to stronger and longer proportions.

We all know what motivation is - the drive that causes us to act by creating movement, growth, and change.

It's also what we can lack - feeling frustrated or stuck in our current situation. The messy middle and in between of knowing where you want to go but not being in reach of it. We know the goal, the habit we want but now the bigger question is how can we get the motivation to get it done.

Because those goals don't just fulfill themselves.

Today on the podcast I interview Jenni Hulbert who is a holistic fitness expert and top rank wellness advocate with doTerra. I'll be asking her what motivation is, if it's something good to rely on and how we can use motivation to reach bigger goals in the new year.

Make sure and listen to the podcast and stay tuned as I share three unexpected ways to get more motivated.

Do you get jitters going into the new year? So many big hopes and dreams and wishes and yet fear that they'll all come crashing down around you? Or is this just my worst nightmare?

#126: Why Can't I Change? Dec 12, 2018

Show notes

This is the question spoken around the world, well at least spoken internally. Why, why, why? I hate to admit it, and I never wanted to get here but "why" has become a common question in my life.

Sometimes it's just out of selfish desire to take away the hard, the pain and the struggle that comes with this life. Even struggle that provides so much growth - it doesn't make it easy. But I've been finding myself questioning most recently, why can't I change and why can't I help other people change?

Which is a bold and dangerous statement to speak life into - as any lie is. As I dug into this, desiring to rip it out of my life from the roots, I knew I needed help. That's why I turned to Dr. Kelly Forys Donahue - Licensed psychologist, nutritional therapist, advanced life coach and author over at Everyday Therapist.

She has done incredible work and continues to do. On today's podcast, we dive specifically into behavior change, and I point blank as her why we struggle so much to change for good. We also dig into our subconscious and conscious thoughts, practical ways to set goals and see change and more. It's such a good show!

WARNING: Before you listen I do want to warn you/apologize for the poor sound quality. With that being said, even though there is some unnecessary static, I do feel the show was too good not to share, so take a listen, and I know you'll be inspired.

#124: Why You Should Stop Using Hand Sanitizer Nov 29, 2018

Show notes

This may come as a surprise - or you're just used to it around here - but hand sanitizer may not be all that they said it was. I'm claiming that you should stop using hand sanitizer altogether.

Sure, hand sanitizer does it's job - of killing germs - but unfortunately, it doesn't just stop at the bad ones but the good ones as well. Think of it as an antibiotic to your gut bacteria. It doesn't just get rid of the bad - it gets rid of the good, and that good is serving a purpose.

Inside today's podcast, I share all the reasons why hand sanitizer could be making you more susceptible to illness and disease and what to do instead.

Of course, to fully understand this podcast, you'll want to make sure and listen to episode 123 which lays the basics.

Then tune in below to find out why you should stop using hand sanitizer and what to do instead.

#123: Six Cheap & Easy Immune Boosting Tips Nov 27, 2018

Show notes

'Tis cold and flu season which means all things sniffles, tissues, and early bedtimes. But are you tired of being plagued year in and year out by the nagging sickness that seems to knock you out at least once a year? Here are my 6 cheap and easy immune boosting tips.

The immune system is a fascinating subject and one that surprisingly doesn't get a ton of stage time. We hear about cancer, heart disease, Alzheimers, depression, and autoimmunity. We even hear about good hand washing, flu vaccines and what your mom always told you - to have a warm bowl of chicken noodle soup.

But my question is, why aren't we talking more about the very system that could also keep us well?

The one that is continuously running, even without us knowing, working to get rid of invaders in the never-ending battle that our body faces every single day. What if we learned about it, and instead of trying to take matters into our own hands we understood the very system that could keep us well?

The immune system is what we're breaking down on today's podcast. From what it is, how it works and ultimately how we can support it because the supportive aspect is the key. Like everything, things change when we learn to work with our body instead of against it.

Inside today's podcast, you'll learn a lot - maybe more than you care to know - about your immune system. From what it needs to thrive and how you can create the right environment to prevent illness this year and in the many years to come.
