Ep. 175: Rewriting Your Old Food Narratives Jul 04, 2020

Show notes

For those of us that have ever had a complicated relationship with food, it can be a struggle to unlearn all the absolutism we assign to what we eat. All diets stem from a place of scarcity, and when you’re constantly operating from that place, your relationship with food can quickly be corrupted. Scarcity leads to a cycle of deprivation and bingeing. If you want to master moderation and learn to eat the same way every day of the week, first you must uncover these limiting narratives in your life and learn to feel more abundant around food.

Staying silent isn’t always the right answer, but what do you say when you just don’t know what to say?

Ep. 173: Starting Over Jun 12, 2020

Show notes

There comes a moment in all of our lives where we find ourselves faced with the overwhelming task of starting over. New jobs, new relationships, new cities, and new opportunities can feel like an unfair burden. But rather than sit and complain about what should have been, maybe we can learn to reframe starting over, and appreciate it as a time to reinvent yourself and the same old ways of life. Time is going to pass anyways, might as well take control of where you’re headed.

Ep. 172: Being a Kid is Great, but Being an Adult is Better Jun 10, 2020

Show notes

Being a kid is great. You get to play all day, there are never any difficult decisions to make, and it never even occurs to you to be anything less than confident all day long. But just because being a kid is so much fun doesn’t mean growing up is all bad. In fact, we love being an adult even more than the innocence and freedom of childhood. In this episode, Jill and Danny reflect on the top 3 things they miss about being kids, and their top 3 favorite parts about being an adult. What are yours?

Ep. 171: Your Limiting Beliefs Are Holding You Back Jun 06, 2020

Show notes

We all have a story we tell ourselves. I’m too old, too stupid, too ugly. We believe these stories without a second thought as to where they came from, and base our identities and futures upon them. So how do we isolate these limiting beliefs and stop them from taking control of our lives? Personal growth is a lifelong process, and in order to reach our full potential, we have to give up the negative self talk that prohibits us from living the Best Life.

Ep. 170: Can People Change? Jun 03, 2020

Show notes

Before we get any further, we at the Best Life Podcast want to make one thing clear: Black lives matter. We are fully committed to being life-long learners on how best to show up for our Black sisters and brothers, and taking down racism on both a systemic level and within the implicit biases we may have.

Today, we wanted to ask an important question. Can people change? We certainly aren’t the same people we have always been. Change is a part of life, but it isn’t something you can force upon others. People will change when they are ready to.

Ep. 169: Letting Go of What No Longer Serves You May 29, 2020

Show notes

Letting go is hard. From our physical possessions to our jobs, and even our relationships, getting rid of the things in our lives can set off a lot of fear. But when you let something go, you create space for something even better. So, let’s stop holding on to that excess baggage—toss out your old clothing, get rid of that broken piece of equipment you’ll never actually fix, and dump that man who’s holding you back. It’s time to make space for the Best Life that you deserve.

Ep. 168: To Cuss or Not to Cuss in Your Online Content May 28, 2020

Show notes

It’s no secret that we fuckin’ love to swear. Cussing is divisive, but to be honest… we don’t give a fuck. When we swear, we’re showing our authentic selves to you knowing that while it may turn some away, the right people will still be here. If swearing isn’t your thing, that’s cool! No one will force you to say or hear anything that isn’t in line with your own value system. But goddamn it, we’re going to cuss, and we’re gonna have a great time doing it.

The conscious choice to use cuss words in content [2:33]

Ep. 167: Letting Go of Your Grudges When You Just Don't Want To May 22, 2020

Show notes

They say holding a grudge is like drinking poison and hoping the other person dies. So then why is it so easy and—seemingly—so satisfying? The truth is, holding on to our hurts only prevents us from being our highest, happiest selves. Of course, letting go of the past is easier said than done, but when we forgive, we gain freedom and take one more step towards living the Best Life.

Ep. 166: What Holds You Accountable? May 20, 2020

Show notes

What holds you accountable? For some, motivation and accountability come as naturally as a duck takes to water, but the rest of us might need a little more. In this episode, Danny and Jill discuss the various ways we can be held accountable in our work—be it through a coach, personal deadlines, competition with others, and everything in between… but the real secret to accountability?
