- What we do to relax
- Morning routines
- Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking by Malcolm Gladwell
Welcome to InspHERation Nation!
The Weekly Commitment
Every week, we will ask you the same question: What is the one thing that you will commit to doing or improving this week?
Writing down your answer to the question will start a self-accountability process, and following up with this practice after every episode will help you take consistent small actions that ultimately lead to BIG transformations.
If you want to share what you are committing yourself to, we would love to hear! You can get in touch with us at...

Be Good to Yourself (You Deserve It!)
“You can only be as good for others as you are for yourself.”
–Amanda Thomas McMeans
An investment in yourself is probably the best way you can invest your time and energy! You will always receive a positive ROI when you invest in yourself.
There are certain things that should be non-negotiable: the things that rejuvenate you and make you who you are. That’s self-care, and it’s not optional (if you want to maintain your health and sanity in the long-term).
You can try this self-care experiment with Amanda: give yourself permission to do one thing that relaxes you every day.
The Morning
“How you feel when you start your day dictates your whole day.”
–Amanda Thomas McMeans
What you do and what you tell yourself in the morning can transform your whole day. One simple way to start your day off right is just setting aside 30 to 60 minutes for you – read, work out, take a walk, meditate, or whatever else makes you feel good.
Don’t Should on Yourself
Don’t think of self-care in terms of what you should do. Think of what you can do. It’s the time you have for you, not a job!
You don’t have to wake up at 4 AM, work out, meditate, make a smoothie, and do an hour of work before the sun is up – set the bar somewhere realistic.
