Born to Thrive Podcast

It's time we unpack our inner dialogue. Okay, I talk about it a lot but I wanted to explain this concept from a different perspective because I meet so many individuals that struggle with their inner voice. There are many factors including your upbringing and from an evolutionary perspective that contribute to your inner critic and I want to give you tips and strategies to overcome some of these negative thoughts.

I am constantly reminded of the importance of setting boundaries in all areas of life and I thought it was important enough to talk about again! Whether it's with your mental health, work, or the gym sometimes, boundaries help us avoid burnout and stay true to our goals and desires. I want to share why you're never less than anyone else and my probably controversial opinion on having a wedding.

I recently saw a tweet (giving credit where credit is due) that inspired this episode on how we can structure our to do list's and simultaneously create boundaries and personal freedom. If you haven't been able to do the things you want to do for yourself in awhile and feel like you're always doing things for other people, this is a can't miss episode.

I had a friend ask in one of my group chats for permission to take a nap… I said bro… yes it's okay to take a nap and rest. The grind mentality has been shoved down our throats as the only way to success and that's just not true. Hobbies are important. Rest is important. Your life outside of your career is important. Let today's episode be a reminder of that.

Different style of episode today and one I hope you go back to in the future. I took some time to write out some life truths I've learned in my time on this planet but here's the catch: I'm not going to explain them. Take them as they are and agree or disagree. These are true to me right now and hopefully they serve you too!

I hate to break it to you: the gym isn't your therapy. While exercise can help with mood and overall health, it doesn't replace therapy and personal development work. Before you disagree, listen to this episode as I explain why I believe this!

One of the biggest things we work with clients on at Lifts with Alex is making nutrition a sustainable, healthy habit for life. What do I mean by that?

With the amount of diets you are bombarded with on social media, it's no wonder why the topic of nutrition is confusing and even harder to "stick" to one. We need to find a personalized solution for YOU specifically and that's why finding a sustainable plan for YOU is key!

I want to share with you how you can find sustainable nutrition in your life and give you a few real world tips I use and that our clients use as well!
