When you think about 'most people', most people are living an average life doing a bit more than the bare minimum. Going beyond that can feel daunting or out of reach. IT'S NOT. This episode will give you a new frame of reference. Minna shares with you statistics of the average people and here's the big conclusion: the average person is NOT great at taking care of themselves. If you do that: pour into yourself and you are already above average. It's all about starting here and seeing your progress.

Minna delves into the concept of a 'plug and play' week, a refreshing twist on the traditional 'ideal week'. Minna encourages you to craft a customizable baseline week that serves as a foundation for productivity and enjoyment as you operate week-to-week in your business and life.

She shares her personal weekly themes, from 'assessing mode' on Mondays to 'elimination mode' on Fridays, each tailored to suit her current priorities and lifestyle. Drawing from her experiences as a solopreneur and mother, Minna emphasizes the importance of adapting these themes to individual needs and seasons of life.

Throughout the episode, Minna offers insights into her workflow, including the transition from assessing and planning on Mondays to deep work and innovation on Thursdays. She also highlights the significance of carving out dedicated time for family and personal pursuits, such as her cherished 'Mama-daughter date' on Tuesdays.

As Minna guides you through her plug and play week, she underscores the value of flexibility and intentionality in shaping a week that aligns with personal and professional goals.

Paris’s journey is astounding. Paris was first diagnosed with bipolar 1 disorder at 19 and hospitalized. She speaks candidly about the severe stigma she once associated with her diagnosis, the role trauma played, and her negative coping mechanisms as she struggled in her journey. Cut to now, Paris is a speaker, author and podcaster helping others live well bipolar. You'll want to listen in!

In the episode, Paris shares pivotal pieces in her therapy that helped her to live well with bipolar: healing her relationship with her mother, healing herself and having the support of her husband helping her to rewrite her narrative when it came to her mental illness journey.

My hope with this episode is to bring more awareness to mental health and bipolar and how you can live well too. And how TRULY VALUABLE it can be for you to share and tell your story. That is the biggest takeaway I want you to remember today.

Paris’s book: “Crooked Illness : Lessons From Inside & Outside Hospital Walls”

Have you lost your spark for play as you've "grown up" in the real world? We all have. Research shows that deep inside all of us is a play preference that helps us tap back in to how we enjoy play and curiosity.
