JJ Virgin is a celebrity nutrition and fitness expert who teaches clients how to lose weight and master their mindset so they can lead bigger, better lives.

She is author of 4 New York Times bestsellers including The Virgin Diet and JJ Virgin’s Sugar Impact Diet - the latter is the focus of our previous interview with JJ.

JJ’s memoir, Miracle Mindset explores the powerful lessons in strength and positivity that she learned after her son Grant was the victim of a brutal hit-and-run accident - this is the focus of today's show.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The hit-and-run accident that nearly took her son's life
• You become like the 5 people you spend the most time with
• How to support a friend/family member who's going through a challenging time
• Build confidence through contribution
• When you ask for help, you're not taking something from someone
• Practicing extreme self-care
• What's had the biggest impact on her son's healing?
• Gratitude and looking at what went well each day
• Living in the gap and how to stay out of it
• Post traumatic stress disorder vs. post traumatic growth
• Don't get stuck focusing on the "what ifs"
• If you're anxious or depressed then your not in the present moment
• Forgiveness is an active process
• Blow up someones phone with loving text messages
