Coordinating Chaos

As Ash prepares for her move she is purging her home.  Going through her whole adult life is challenging and determining what to keep and what to not keep has her anxiety high.  Hear how it is going and some tips and tricks the girls have to keep this move smooth. 

Overthinking can be so toxic!  Sometimes the worst place you can be is in your own head.  If overthinking burned calories...woman would be dead.  HA What is up with us?  Why aren't we confident enough at any age to just let things be what they are...not what "think" they are?  This is the hardest emotional battle many have to overcome!  Listen in to hear ways we are working on overcoming this mindset battle! (Sidebar:..as we were listening to this podcast back we total overthought whether or not to publish because we had some papers ruffling in the background.  We decided to give ourselves grace and move forward!   Enjoy!!)  

Meg & Ash talk to salon owner, Katie on how to get our hair from dry and brittle to healthy and strong! Katie's salon is safe and sustainable, considered a Green Circle company, so they recycle all waste streams AND they have safe, effective products for clients with allergies. Listen to our podcast to learn more about why Katie decided to open this type of salon. It may surprise you! Be sure to check out our blog for her favorite hair products. 

Mindset is a crazy powerful thing, but most of us don't tap into it the right way. Ash and Meg chat with Mindset Coach, Craig Kaufman who gets real and raw about what you need to do to shift your thinking to create the life you want...the life you love. You have to get down and dirty and go dark (to the root) of what is keeping you from growing and being truly happy. It's about shifting your thought process, being honest with yourself and doing the work to make it happen! Listen and learn about the 'Core Four' which is a simple, yet effective code to follow in order to start living a better life NOW!

It is Wine Wednesday with Meg and Ash.   Here on this podcast episode the girls discuss the craziness of Work-Life Balance.  Is there even such a thing?  Ash Ellen DeGeneres once said, "Life is about balance.  The good and the bad.  The highs and lows.  The pina and the colada."  We could not agree more!  Also...the Pinot  and the Noir...the Sauvigon and the Blanc!   You get it!!    

Ash and Meg talk to a chiropractor, Dr. Mark.  He explains how getting adjusted is so much more than a crack of the spine.  If you have pain, your spinal health is compromised and in turn, certain areas of your body are not functioning properly.  Dr. Mark said, "The absence of disease does not equal the presence of health". This was a very profound statement to hear. There is a difference between feeling good and fit and actually being healthy. Function vs. Feeling. Listen in and learn how total body wellness is essential and how chiropractic work can help one achieve optimal health!  

Ash and Meg sit down and talk with Kelli Fuhr, the owner of North Plainfield's Barre3 studio.  Kelli explains why Barre3 works for your body through a 3 step process.   We love how this workout is not a 'one size fits all' and allows everyone to work at their own level.  You will leave feeling energized, balanced, and successful.  

In a world of BUSY, us woman tend to forget about ourselves.  We are taking care of our family, job, friends, and our home.  We tend to put ourself at the end of the list.   In this podcast, Meg and Ash are super raw about how their lack of self care has affected their personal relationships.   As a New Years goal they have promised they would start taking better care of themselves. A list of ten ways they plan to do this is outlined and discussed.   

Ash and I had the opportunity to sit down with our friends Kristen and Stephanie, co-founders of the company, STRONG Self(ie) which is a quarterly subscription box service for Tweens and Teens (think FabFitFun). They have two box offerings based on age group and each box includes 4-6 fabulous products.   

BUT, they are really more than just a subscription box company. In fact, they are SO much more than the super cute, handpicked products they deliver. Their company's mission is to empower young girls to be their strongest selves and to embrace who they are knowing that who they are, is enough. The box really serves as a tool for parents to check in with their kids. As they say, "The struggle is real...so #strugglestrong". What a great time to teach this to our girls so they can use this strength to carry them through life!

As moms we deal a lot of guilt.  We are constantly feeling bad about missing something, forgetting something or messing something up.  What about when you forget your son's birthday??  Or miss your kids first dance competition of the season??   Oh yea...we have done it all! And we lay it all out there for you to hear about.  And why we have to take care of ourselves!  Self care is the only way we are getting through the next week!
