Live Happy, Healthy & Inspired

That voice between your ears, that voice in your head, is your inner critic. It tells you things like I'm not good enough, I'm not smart enough, or I'm not worthy enough. But don’t be fooled and don’t listen to it. It is a false voice. How do you begin to tame the inner critic voice? And is there an opposite to your inner critic voice? In today's episode, we are discussing this inner critic voice, what it is, and more specifically how you can begin to tame it. It starts with awareness, being aware of your thoughts and what is going on in your mind. It then shifts to stillness and sitting with yourself quietly as you go within, and then, you begin to tell yourself the opposite. That you are good enough, that you are worthy, and that that voice between your ears is a false and misleading voice. Ask yourself what brings you the most joy? The answer to that is what makes your heart sing. Personal development and living a life that is happy, healthy and fulfilled is a journey that unfortunately does not happen overnight. Each day become more aware of your inner critic, and begin the work to turn down that volume, and turn up the volume of your true voice. Tune in to today's episdoe to learn more.

In today's world there are two noises. First, the noise of society which says get the career job, the house, the car, the family. Second, there is the noise of your heart, which, as was the case with Vi Vi today, took her down a path of minimalism and van life. Which for her she had never even thought about, and was completely unexpected. However, we learned that true fulfillment and happiness comes from listening to that noise of your heart, then having the courage to follow it. We see that in today's episode, Vi Vi went against the grain of both society and even her own family and did just that. The reward being a life of complete bliss, fulfillment, and happiness. Wherever you are in your life, take a moment to listen. Listen to your heart. What is it telling you? We all know stories of millionaires who are not fulfilled, and so if you are seeking greater fulfillment in your life, tune into that noise of your heart, and allow it to guide you where it is meant to guide you. As both Vi Vi and I have learned, fear and self-doubt are normal and common, but we don’t let those stop us from defining who we are. We have both chosen to follow the noise that is our heart. If you are feeling uncertain or insecure about what is next in life, you are not alone. Many of us have been there. Listen and re-listen to this episode as many times as you need until it resonates with you, and you begin to live that life from your heart. For it is in living that life from your heart, as we learned today from Vi Vi, you will ultimately find that peace, joy, happiness and fulfillment that you are after.

With this podcast, one of my primary goals is to help you, the listener, learn how to keep weight off permanently and live that healthy lifestyle, however that looks for you. In today’s episode, I am going to be speaking with Renee Jones, who went on a diet for 40 years! Yes, you heard that correctly, 40 years! Now, can any of you imagine being on a weight loss journey for nearly 40 years. If you can, or if you have ever been on any type of your own weight loss journey, you will want to listen to what we talk about today. A very long term weight loss journey is the story for my guest today Renee, and during those 40 years, she estimates she gained and lost somewhere around 2,000 pounds. Until finally in 2012 she discovered the secret sauce, or the key ingredients if you will, to not just losing weight, but keeping weight off permanently. Today we are going to hear her story, and talk specifically about how to keep weight off permanently, including how to overcome the huge challenge of emotional eating. Tune in as her answers will surprise you, and I am certain they are new insights that you have not heard before. We’ll talk about questions like why do diets fail? How do we manage emotional eating? How do you actually make a resolution work for you (as opposed to quitting and giving up)? After 40 years on a diet, what made the difference that has allowed her to keep the weight off? What’s the real secret for losing weight and keeping it off?   Renee Jones has a master’s degree in Marriage & Family counseling, a clinical residency in pastoral care. Her TedX talk on emotional eating has been viewed well over half a million times, and she is an Amazon best-selling author of the book “What’s Really Eating You? Overcome the Triggers of Comfort Eating."  She can be reached at www.packyourownbag.com  Fb: https://www.facebook.com/PackYourOwnBag/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/packyourownbag/

Why do we struggle in life? Why should we focus first and foremost on mindset? What is the first thing we need to do in order to create the life we would like to experience? Why is the darkness our greatest ally? In today’s episode, I am chatting with Dr. Victor Manzo, a business mindset coach, certified holistic practitioner, pediatric chiropractor, and the author of two books, “Re-discover Your Greatness,” and “A Walk in the Dark.” And we are talking about exactly that, how to create your most ideal life. We dive deep into those four questions and the answers Dr. Vic gives will astound and inspire you. Is struggle really necessary? How does the mind work in all of this? Can we train our nervous system to be a higher vibration and attract what we want to be, do and have? The answer to this last question is absolutely yes. Think of playing a piano, the more you practice the better you get right? Same with your vibration, the more you tune it the stronger it gets. Take a listen to find out more how you can create your most ideal life.

Imagine having your whole life ahead of you, and then, at the young age of 29, being diagnosed with a long-term chronic illness. What would you do? How would you respond? Would you let the illness define you, or would you define it? Today we are going to hear from an extraordinary woman, who, at the age of 29, was diagnosed with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (MS). As she will tell you, it took her a while, but ultimately, she made a decision, that she could define her MS, or it could define her. How did she make this decision? And how did she go about “owning” MS so that she was in control, not the illness. And for you in your life, how can you own and spin whatever “crummy cake” that is a negative for you in your life into “frosting,” something positive. In today’s episode, we are going to learn and hear how our guest did just that, and how you can do that for you life as well. Take a listen!

Imagine being a young teenage woman, low self-worth, low self-esteem, not liking who you are or anything about yourself. Then, after too many drugs, alcohol, and self-sabotaging, winding up one day in the hospital, you realize the current situation isn’t working for you. Hence, you switch up your life and become a fitness enthusiast and professional bikini competitor. Only then to fall down another rabbit hole and wind-up binge eating and suffering from an emotional eating disorder. Then, after all, that, you figured it out and went on to become a thriving woman who is fully in love with herself and life now, and never even has to think about food. Change is possible, overcoming extreme adversity in multiple forms is possible, and in today’s episode we meet Tania Danielle who shares her incredible story of overcoming self-abuse (mental and physical), emotional and binge eating, and OCD type obsession with being fit. She also realized that being fit and healthy are NOT the same thing, far from it. As she will tell you, it is a journey. A beautiful journey of self-discovery. What did she learn along the way? And more to the matter, what did she learn about being healthy? And what does being healthy truly mean? Who is the person you want to be and how do you want to live your life? Tune in today and take a listen to learn from Tania and how she overcame the odds and set a new standard, and how you too can defy the odds and set a new standard for your life.

Ok that title is a bit of a tongue twister, but if you read it slowly and think about it, it makes sense. How many of you reading this right now are truly loving the life you live to love? In today’s podcast episode, we meet Michelle, a grind it out day to day worker who gave her best to her company, and in the process lost sight of who she was and the real meaning of life. The result? A major health scare that dramatically shifted her life, and fortunately for all of us that shift was for the better. Hear her story how she went from being burned out, realizing she was burned out, and how she discovered the true meaning of life and one of the secrets to living a fulfilled life. A life filled with joy, meaning, purpose, and perhaps most importantly, happiness. That secret has to do with recognizing that who you are is not tied to your job, that life is not all about work and the go go go mentality that is quite prevalent. Rather it is about learning to play again, discovering who you are and your true values, and above all else making yourself and your own health and wellness the number one priority in your life. Tune in today for a great listen, a great feel, and learn what it truly takes to live a life of meaning and purpose, and overcoming the burnout syndrome which is all too common in today’s modern, busy world.

That title represents the own words of my guest today, Dai Manuel, who knows exactly all about dealing with the struggle of the juggle of this crazy journey we call life. In today’s episode, Dai, who happens to be a successful business mentor and entrepreneur, TedX speaker, author, high performance life coach and most importantly Dad and husband, tells us how it’s not who and what you don’t want to be that matters most, but it is who and what you do want to be in life that really matters the most. Through the crazy impossibilities of asking himself and his family questions such as “what if?” and “why not?” he slowly began to transform his life into the person he was meant to be, someone that his daughter would want to be with. What would happen with you and your life if you started to ask ‘”what if?” and “why not me/us?” What would happen if you started to truly focus on the person that your spouse/child/society really needed you to be? That person is there and inside you right now, simply waiting to be let out of its cage for the world to see. This is exactly what Dai did, he asked what if and why not me, and then dared to dream and took it as far and wide as he could imagine, including a 2 ½ year stint in Indonesia. This is the focus of this podcast episode, being the person you were meant to be, asking what if and why not, and doing it all while dealing with the crazy struggle of the juggle that is all things life.

Many of us go through life trying to swim upstream, against the current, against the river of life. The result of this in the real world is sometimes seen in the form of rejections, closed doors, frustrations, and the feeling that something just isn’t quite right. It’s only when we learn to go with the flow of where the river is going that we become aligned with our true calling and begin to experience the boundless joy that life is really all about. My guest today, Jenny Toh, professional lawyer turned professional life coach, went through such a journey. She had a deeper feeling, an inner sense or intuition if you will, that her life was meant for something else, something more than just being a lawyer. When she finally aligned with where her river was going, she, as she states in her own words “wasn’t tired and had energy.” That’s the power of living a life in alignment, an endless supply of energy. As you listen to this episode, ponder what would bring you greater joy in life: a life of logic that says do this or be that, or a life that follows the feeling that is the river that takes you down a completely different path from the one you were thinking (and perhaps even thought you were supposed to be on). Tune in and listen to today’s episode to hear Jenny’s story and words of wisdom about how you too can be aligned with your own river and live the life you were meant to live, not the one you think you are supposed to live.
