JK McLeod is joining me this week on Far From Perfect.

After a summer hiatus, I am more than happy to be back with my podcast bestie Ali Damron.

This was inspired by some BS we both keep seeing on Instagram. Most of the women we speak to are at the ends of their rope, navigating careers, parenthood, aging parents and perimenopause. Basically running around with their pants on fire.

Everyone is searching for the solution, missing what the real issue is: IT'S TIME TO CHANGE.

It's time to get brutally honest about what deserves your time and attention and also how you view the world.

If only were as easy as taking a supplement. This is going to require some really hard choices.

The thing with pushing "pause" on your healthy habits is, you only get good at stopping. You can't just pick up your healthy habits when life slows down, because life doesn't slow down.

This episode teaches you how to scale your efforts so you can continue with momentum rather than starting from scratch every three months.

Today on Far From Perfect, I’ve got my friend Ali Damron back on the pod and we are talking about the truth of social media and how it affects us. Listen we are just as guilty as you with social media and our phones , granted it’s the business we are both in, but still we find ourselves scrolling at ungodly hours too. Just know this isn’t a right/wrong thing. We just want you to be fully aware of the information that is out there and how it’s making you feel. We talk about famous people, influencers, coaches, no one is safe. We did this because we do want you to be more aware. We talk about dopamine and even challenge you to try and not look at your phone at a stoplight!! Can you do it??? This is a necessary topic and should be listened to by all.
