Less is More: Becoming Happier and Healthier by Simplifying your Life

"…by not being vulnerable we are in essence shutting off and pushing away opportunities that often lead to incredible life changing moments…"

We sometimes look at being vulnerable as a negative and something that is scary and could cause bad things to happen.  The truth is vulnerability is simply being scared by/of something, but digging deep, pulling out your courage and doing it anyways! Because yes you could absolutely fail, but what if taking that leap leads to the greatest opportunity of your life?

In today's episode we're diving into;

• Why we fear being vulnerable so much?

• The positives that can come out of being vulnerable

• Big vulnerability can lead to BIG reward in your life

• Where can you increase your vulnerability

• and much more…

Grab your cup of dark roast and let's dive in!

"…we are just going to focus on shifting your diet to one that fuels you instead of drains you…"

I have never been a big fan of the word "Diet", it makes me think about starving, lack of food, & depriving myself of the foods I love, but our diet is really just the food we consume! Today we are going to talk about how to begin to declutter your diet, which really is just about decluttering some of your lifestyle around food. You all know I love a good declutter session, but today my main point will be for you to LOAD your diet full of very nourishing, fuelling foods.

• My method of "crowding out" your diet with super foods that fuel your mind and body

• My top tips that will help you make a massive shift in your day to day diet

• Sharing my absolute favourite green smoothie recipe…(Find it below!)

Try to incorporate my tips and crowding out method for just 7 days and then message me to tell me how you're feeling! I think you'll notice a huge difference! Grab your cup of dark roast or maybe your green smoothie and let's dive in to today's episode!

Crowding Out - Green Smoothie

1 handful baby spinach or kale

½ avocado

1 green apple or pear

2 large stocks of celery

½ medium sized cucumber

1 cup water

2 drops Lemon, Tangerine or Wild Orange Essential Oil 

(*note please only use CPTG standard essential oils that are approved for internal use)

Supplements

I recommend that everyone take a high-quality bioavailable multivitamin as well as a base for your Omegas.  Lastly if you are looking to support balancing hormones, support better mood, and look at proactive support for your health - I also recommend a whole foods nutrient option that is high in antioxidants. 

If you'd like to grab the ones I use (with a few of my top fav essential oils) - grab this stater kit here.  Once ordered you'll also receive a whole starter pack (and a free wellness session with me - valued at over $200)

"What if I told you it's not a lack of willpower that holds you back from your goals?

I actually consider myself to be a person that has HORRIBLE willpower, but I also know I am a person that has amazing purpose! Today I'm talking about why I don't think willpower is something that you need to be focused on, but be more focused on the purpose behind what you want, and WHY you want it.

I'm also touching on:

• People who seem to have self control have simply learned better habits
• Willpower will not allow you to succeed LONG TERM
• What gives you purpose? What motivates you? What brings you joy?
• And so much more...

"I titled this It's ok to Pause because it is ok to just listen for a minute…"

I had to give myself permission the last few weeks to just pause this podcast and I felt I needed to come back today with the message for you that it is ok for you to just take a minute also.

This episode is not full of tips and tricks on how to declutter your home, or how to make a healthy salad today. Today's episode is about giving yourself permission, and is also probably one of the most real conversations I have ever had on this platform. It is me sharing my heart about my stance on anti-racism, and I am by no means an anti-racist specialist, but this is a movement that is close to my heart, one that I am so passionate about, and committed to. I am continuing to do the work I need to do as a privileged white woman, and I thank you for being here with me on this journey, and creating positive change in this world.

What if asking yourself just one simple question could set the wheels in motion for your whole life to change?  Stick with me here...Our daily "to do" lists are so long, they can feel overwhelming, and then disappointing when we don't complete them.

I recently read a book called "The One Thing" by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan and the book asks one question..." What is one thing I can do, such that by doing it, everything else is easier or unnecessary?" and i truly believe this powerful question could actually begin to change our lives.  

What if you changed just ONE thing in the area of your

• Physical health
• Relationships
• Finances
• Spirituality
• Mental health

Imagine the domino effect that one change could make.  Listen in today as I dive a bit deeper into what changing ONE thing could do to help you live a Less Is More Life...
