Healthy Vibes with Kelley Ranaudo

In this episode, we chat about how to make better choices when we are feeling down, and stressed. Rather than making ourselves feel worse, we have to plan our go-to choices, that little-by-little, will help us to begin to get out of our slump. Let us teach our kids to do the same

Many of us make up a story in our heads, that aren’t even true. First, you are not alone. We all do it. Together, let us pay attention, and let it go, when it isn’t even true.

Today we talk about the struggles that we have in our mind every day, and how we can fill our minds with good each day. We also talk about becoming aware of what could be draining your mind, and what to do about it.

In this episode, we chat about why and how I created the journal. I tell you about what is in it, and how you can actually change how you feel each day by taking 20 minutes to add this daily practice to your morning.

In this episode, we chat about how working on ourselves is so important, for growth, health, and feeling good about ourselves. We should always be growing, learning, and being intentional about what we want to improve in our lives, and ourselves.

In this episode, we chat about finding one thing each week to focus on, and be more intentional about. This has helped me over the last few years to be in the moment more, feel less stress, and more in control of my days. Do I still have challenging days? Yes. But, I have more tools in my tool box to help me bounce back a bit easier, and handle the daily struggles a bit better.

One of my passions is getting our kids moving. I feel strongly about this for many reasons. Not only their health, and strength, but for their happiness, stress, and mental health as well. With all the uncertainty in the world right now, kids need help with choices that will help them feel happier, healthier, and more confident. Just moving every day will lift their spirits and self-esteem. But how we approach getting them to move and exercise is important. Take time to listen so that you can give your kids the encouragement and support they need to develop a life-long healthy habit that they will thank you for.

I wrote an article in February of this year about finding calm in our days. Now, as we find ourselves in the middle of a pandemic, we all need calm more than ever. If you want less stress, more calm, and a healthier mind, take time to listen and start being deliberate about what you let into your day.

As a mother of a teen and pre-teen, this conversation was refreshing, and full of hope. Connie is an author, speaker, entrepreneur, and more. She gives practical advice to help you have a more meaningful relationship with your teen. Her book, “Parenting Beyond the Rules”, helped me transition into the teenage years, much better than I was doing on my own. We talk about boundaries, prioritizing the heart of our kids, learning how to adjust, and so much more. Connie has raised, and homeschooled, five teens, and she is passionate about encouraging and helping moms have a rich relationship with their kids. You can find all of Connie's resources here at ConnieAlbers.com.

With all the uncertainty this year, what can we each do to help? Spend your energy loving on your family, teaching and guiding your kids, and becoming better humans every day.
