Here is a big question: how are you taking responsibility for your time during the quarantine?

Today we are discussing responsibility, accountability and how our thoughts lead to our beliefs, and those beliefs can lead to our behaviours.

Accountability and mental health have a lot to do with each other, and our ability to foster a strong sense of self, our self esteem and belief in our ability to make it through difficult situations.

Once you recognize that you are able to change your thoughts, then you will be able to change how you react to this challenging time!

Right now we are all dealing with new routines, virtual schools, our jobs and unexpected change, all at the SAME time.

Our routines have been disrupted, our support systems as we know them have been taken away, and everyone from kindergarten to retirement is trying to navigate this new normal.

One important thing to recognize, and understand, is that we all process and deal with these changes differently.

There isn't a 'One Size Fits All' solution to adapting to the strange environment we find ourselves in.

Today we are joined by Emily Melious, the Founder and CEO of Launch Consulting LLC and she works with individuals of all ages as they transition through change.

The excellent insights provided by Emily help us to see that we don't have to do things how we used to do them, it's ok that we all have different needs, and we can absolutely get through this change with the right insights and mindset.

For many of us, we have been forced into facing our fears in business, judgement online, sales, change and our limiting beliefs.

We fear judgement online and for simply showing up and talking about what we do best.

We're afraid of sales during crisis and question whether or not it's 'OK' to offer our products and services while people are adapting to change.

We have serious limiting beliefs around what's possible and what we can do to affect positive change and those beliefs fall squarely onto our jobs and businesses.

So what do we do about it!?

Today we are joined by Julia Katsivo, an award winning Holistic Business Coach, Forbes contributor and international speaker. She is helping us understand all of these fears and what we can do about them!

Are consultants still doing business? YES they are, in fact $400k packages, $600k packages and more are being agreed to as we speak.

Why? It's because these service providers, and the businesses they serve, understand the value attached to each commitment.

In today's episode we are joined by Samantha Hartley of Enlightened Marketing and she specializes in business growth for business consultants.

We also talk about business risk and how business owners (entrepreneurs) handle the unknown, which is a BIG factor in today's COVID pandemic landscape.

We're all experiencing anxiety about money, our health and what to expect in the future, but we're also afraid to talk about it.

Why are we still afraid to talk about mental health, especially at work? Is there still a stigma attached to it? How are we talking about it and how are we ensuring that our employees feel supported?

In today's episode we dive into these topics and much more with our special guest Mandi J. Buckner, a workplace mental health professional.

Now, more than ever, we have the opportunity to really take a look at how we can survive the current situation we are in (globally) and move towards thriving!

If you're feeling guilty, anxious and stressed out about EVERYTHING right now, it's ok... you're not the only one!

In today's episode we're talking about the emotions flying around in personal and professional circles, including our own.

- Guilt and stress when it comes to our kids and productivity.

- Guilt and stress when it comes to not HAVING kids and not being as productive as we think we should be.

- Trying to determine how long-term our long-term planning should be (1 month, 6 months, 1 year?)

Reports are coming in regarding the quarantine & alcohol consumption, and the numbers are up all across the country.

We're talking about why that is with today's special guest, Michael Levitt, a cognitive behavioural therapist and the President of Breakfast Leadership Inc.

What are the links between anxiety, overwhelm, burnout and alcohol use?

What can we do when we feel anxious or stressed, especially now during the COVID crisis?

We also dive into what we 'should' be doing with our free time, parents trying to teach their kids, and other stressors that are imposed on us both externally and internally.

A big thank you to Michael for coming on and sharing his expertise with us!

How entrepreneurs can protect their income and gain peace of mind with insurance, isn't something that we think of right away.

Traditionally, insurance is something that you use to protect yourself, "at some point".

We imagine that insurance is too expensive, that it won't bring peace of mind, and that it will be another expense that we simply can't add on just yet.

Luckily, today's guest Alaeddine Jabri, from Longevity Achieved, explains why (and how) insurance protection makes sense for entrepreneurs... and he has the math to prove it!

Join us for an excellent discussion about how entrepreneurs can leverage insurance to protect their income, and why it can provide that peace of mind, and protection, that we are all looking for.

The psychology behind what we eat can be fascinating and eye-opening once we take a moment to consider it, and understand it.

It's also important to pay attention to our nutrition during the quarantine and staying healthy, because it's can be VERY easy to indulge all day every day in our favourite comfort foods.

Understanding our own coping methods (and the ones passed down to us from our families) can be an important step in developing a healthy relationship with your food.

Join us as we speak with nutritionist Molly Sanders, the founder of Get Real to Heal and the creator of The Beyond Food Program about all of these topics and more!
