In today's episode of the It Takes Guts Podcast I touch on the second meaning behind the name "It Takes Guts". You see, along with about roughly 3 million Americans I've been diagnosed with the invisible, hidden disease: IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease). For those who've never heard about IBD here's a little info for ya:

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a term for two conditions (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis) that are characterized by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Prolonged inflammation results in damage to the GI tract.

Not many people understand IBD - it is a largely hidden disease, and one that causes stigma, fear and isolation for those who live with it. It is thought that many people with the condition go undiagnosed and suffer in silence. 

I invite you to listen to my own personal journey of battling IBD where I get real about the symptoms, the emotions, the struggle, the hope and the healing that's given me my life back.

Learn how to get good at saying NO. 

In today's episode I talk about the power of saying NO. Saying no to people, places, jobs, things, etc. that don't serve you and don't allow you to reach the fulfillment in life you're striving for. The best part of saying no to what's unimportant is that you're allowing yourself to say yes to what IS important, what will take you to that next level, the opportunities that will come out of it will amaze you.

Ever find yourself surrounded by people that just drain your energy? That make you feel tired, annoyed, put you in a bad mood and just have this negative halo around them that seems to be contagious? They are what I like to call energy vampires, a term I coined from one of my mentors. 

In this episode I talk about how to recognize when you have a negative person in your life and two methods for how to distance yourself from them. '

Has travel been an itch that you've wanted to scratch, but you're too afraid to make the move because of how it'll affect your family, kids, babies?

In today's episode of the "It Takes Guts" Podcast I'm joined by my partner Oscar Guerrero, digital entrepreneur, having visited over 30 countries, lived in China, Spain, and Romania and now Medellin, Colombia. We dive into what it was like for us to pick up, leave home and family and move to Colombia (yes the country). The reasons for the decision, family and friend pressures, and how it's impacted our now 19 month old son.
