Transitioning to healthier lifestyle can be tough. And doing it as a family can add even more kinks in the road. Luckily, Janelle of Know Mommy broke everything down for us into bite-sized chunks of wisdom.

During our conversation, Janelle shared her story of how she went from anxious and overwhelmed to healthy and thriving (and how YOU can do the same!)

I love how this episode took a lot of info from my past ones and brought everything together into actionable steps.

During the episode we discussed:

• What IS health, really?

• The best place to start when first transitioning to a healthy lifestyle (Hint: ask yourself what is the end goal then ask what you are willing to do to get there)

• Easy ways to reduce you and your families toxic load.
• Benefits of eating seasonally
• Tips on feeding balanced meals to your family
• Different ways to approach meal planning so you can find a way that works best for your lifestyle (pro-tip: always shop your own kitchen first to see what needs to be used up and save $$$)
• Ways that stress and lack of sleep can affect the body
• The importance of a gratitude practice
• Simple re-alignment techniques for times when you feel the inner fire brewing up
