When it comes to business in New York, there's obviously a lot of competition and you have to find ways of being innovative.More than 15 years ago, Joe thought outside the box when it came to physical therapy and education. He acknowledged that there is another component to the body - the mind - that plays a tremendous role in traumas, and sought to combine these two elements to find balance in recovery.Joe Vega is a native New Yorker who has always been in love with being able to provide rehabilitative care for people who have had injuries in the past or current injuries. He decided to bridge both the rehab and the fitness world, so he has perfected a platform that helps clients with injuries and develops customized plans that enable them to pursue real fitness goals. To Joe, happiness means being able to help push people who need assistance to get to their next level, and spending time with his family.Questions I ask: - What were you doing before what you are doing now? (00:19) - What do you think nowadays with social media and all these different ways of how to live longer and that kind of thing?

Do you ever ask yourself, “Where did the time go?”Time is our most valuable asset, yet some of us are too caught up in the day-to-day tasks of life to realize just how we’re spending it. Unlike money or physical possessions, it can’t be saved or stowed away for a rainy day. But, through being present, building relationships, and living authentically each day, our time will be well spent. In this episode, I talk with Libby Moore. She spent 11 years of her time as Chief of Staff for Oprah Winfrey (I’d say that’s a valuable time investment!). Throughout our conversation, she shares her experiences around how we spend our money and time, yet sometimes just give away our power. Libby explains that giving away your power is essentially shrinking yourself down to make someone else feel more comfortable. If you give away your power to someone else, you’re being governed by an outside force. This translates to time spent unintentionally. So take a listen to learn more about Libby’s incredible journey, and how she learned to lead an intentional and authentic life. Libby’s Happiness Hack:“It’s truly being comfortable in my skin, comfortable with who I am and who I’m with, and truly feeling like I’m giving something to the world. To know that I matter, that what I’m doing here matters. It’s creating a positive ripple effect - whether it’s within my family, my friends, my community, and rippling out from there. That truly, to me, is the ultimate happiness. I feel like I’m being of service in some positive way in the world, and comfortable being who I am. Which, I’m very comfortable with who I am now.” (39:17)Some Questions I Ask: - What does your morning routine look like? (3:36) - What has your morning meditation practice brought to your life? (7:34) - Talk to me about your thoughts on not giving away your power. (25:06) - What has coming out been like for you? (30:37) - What is your personal definition of happiness? (38:59)In This Episode, You Will Learn: - How consistent meditation brings clarity to Libby’s life. (7:47) - How the act of surrendering and going with the flow pushed Libby’s career forward. (9:19) - How Libby balances being generous and drawing appropriate boundaries. (16:33) - How Libby uses her innate kind nature to stop the cycle of resentment. (17:49) - The value of being authentically and comfortably you. (39:13)Connect with Libby:WebsiteLinkedInInstagram

And by limiting your access to the world, the cream comes to the top.” (22:43)Some Questions I Ask: - How do you prepare for your day? How do you start your day? (13:17) - What do you look for?

There are 19 days left in 2018. You know what that means like? We turn up the pressure on ourselves even though we are winding down for the holiday season. It's the time we reflect back on the 365 days of the year and set goals, resolutions, and things we want to achieve. It's ironic really. We have 365 days in the years but we wait until the last handful to really think about what we want and what makes us happy. In this episode, let's talk about the pressure we put on ourselves and what makes us really happy.
