It happens to the best of us... We start off on our fitness journey strong, only to hit a wall at some point feeling stuck, bored, and unmotivated. So what happened?

Join Anthony and Ashley on this episode as they dive into why we experience a workout plateau and provide 6 Key Factors to consider that will help us break through any plateau that ever stands in our way!

What is the secret to getting the hiring process right? Well, this is a tricky question with no straightforward answer really...

With 18 total years of multi-location business experience, involved with dozens of managers and employees simultaneously, Anthony and Ashley kick off March with their tried and tested vetting principles to ensure we are setting ourselves up for success when it comes to hiring the best person for the given job. While the entirety of the vetting and hiring process contains several different factors including market and economy demands, company compensation and benefits, culture, and overall company brand reputation, whether you are seeking entry-level employees or business leadership, Anthony and Ashley share key elements to consider such as how to make the best call while putting emotions aside, why pre-screening is more than a glance over, and why many leaders fail AFTER the hire has been made due to lack of follow-through and investment.

Tune in for this wealth of insight!

When it comes to workplace relationships, what is the right way to go about it? Should it be business only? Does creating friendships with colleagues hurt business or make it better? There may not be one concrete answer, but from our experience, a culture that is inviting, thriving, and one people rave about (and quite frankly even want to work for), tend to have leaders who put their people first and aim to lead with heart.

There's a saying someone once said... "You can't expect others to love you if you don't love yourself first."  When it comes to relationships, we seem to always place a high amount of expectations in others when it comes to courtship, but what happens when we aren't completely ok with ourselves? What happens when we haven't established the comfort and peace that comes with solitude?

Join Ashley on this episode as she co-hosts with special guest, TSS Client, and friend, Corina Noel, on how important it is to establish self-love, to learn and be ok with all of the unique qualities of yourself, and that before stepping into a relationship, how to be sure you are ready. 

How many of us have experienced being in a relationship, only to have found months or years down the road that we've lost ourselves? Why is that? Who was the person we were becoming and where did they go?

Join Anthony and Ashley on this episode as they host two very special guests, George and Alyssa, to dive into a topic on maintaining your identity and independence for a thriving relationship. George and Alyssa are both from Austin, TX where their contagious, loving, and charismatic energy has helped touch many lives in the health and wellness space.

From speaking of organic love, effortless compatibility, and their take on relationship values, George and Alyssa share the stage to provide insight and refreshing perspective of not only how to be in sync with your partner, but what to do if you feel trapped.

Do you know your Love Language? Do you know what it really takes to not only meet someone new, but nurture and grow relationships? Are you in a toxic relationship and feel this chapter needs to close?

Join Anthony and Ashley on this episode as they kick off February speaking on how to create positive and loving relationships, what qualities are necessary for healthy courtship, and important points needed whether you are looking for love, or determining if it's time to call it quits.
