The Lazy Genius Way by Kendra Adachi

On this week’s episode of Live Well Anyway the Podcast, your host MacKenzie Koppa chats with author, speaker and creative coach Allison Fallon. Ally’s new book, The Power of Writing It Down, is the main topic of their conversation today. They talk about how Allison recommends getting your words and your story on the page and getting past the things that block you from doing that. Allison shares why the practice of writing works to shift our perspective and change the way we think and act. They get pretty deep into what to do when you have experienced trauma and how journalling can help move the healing process along. There is so much practical goodness in this conversation, that we think you will want to listen to this episode more than once, and get your hands on Allison’s book!

Fighting Forward by Hannah Brencher

The Feel Good Effect by Robyn Conley Downs

Today on Live Well Anyway, MacKenzie and Katie back to talk all about looking forward to the New Year with hope and how to approach our planning and goal setting in light of all the uncertainty of our times. MacKenzie lays out her step by step method of planning and challenges Katie (and us!) to follow these steps to set goals for new habits and routines in 2021.

1. Brain Dump: assess where you currently are in different areas of your life.

2. Envision: think about the life you want to have and what practices are going to get you there.

3. Practices vs. Projects: consider what are the building blocks of your daily life as opposed to one-time tasks that will facilitate your daily practices.

4. Back Up Plan: decide what are you base level things that you need to do even on the days when everything else falls apart.

5. Track Your Progress: write down what you have done to have a record of your progress in even the small steps.

6. Come Together: find accountability with a friend or group of people to help keep you on track and give you perspective.

Love Actually

Today on Live Well Anyway, host Mackenzie Koppa talks with Robyn Conley Downs, author of The Feel Good Effect: Reclaim Your Wellness by Finding Small Shifts that Create Big Change. Robyn is a wife, mother, speaker, entrepreneur, and wellness advocate. MacKenzie starts off the conversation asking Robyn how she started her website and wellness journey. Then they transition to talking about a different way of looking at goals and planning for the way our lives are right now. Robyn shares the importance of cultivating daily practices and small habits over aiming for some illusive final product. She gets deeper into some of the ideas behind her research, including cognitive behavioral therapy, and how our thoughts affect what we do.

Welcome to the Live Well Anyway Podcast (formerly Cultivating the Lovely) with MacKenzie Koppa! Today on the show, MacKenzie shares some of her best advice on getting yourself out of a slump by resetting your day first thing in the morning. Here are her tips and techniques for a morning routine that will break you out of a slump:

• Have Alexa turn on you light with your alarm- makes it easier to wake up:

  Echo Dot

  Smart Light Bulbs for Lamps or Overhead Lights

  Smart Light Bulbs for Can Lights)

• Rebounding (jump, jump! This is the Rebounder (mini-trampoline) that MacKenzie has)

• Water

• Gua Sha (Great Tutorials on Instagram- @noyskincare, @wildling_beauty)

• Dry Brushing- Daily Concepts Detox Massaging Brush

• Oil Pulling- Use Coconut Oil or Pur03 Ozonated Pulling Solution with Peppermint

• Cold Plunge at the end of shower- Follow Wim Hoff for great info on this topic

• Do your make-up and hair

• Get Dressed in real clothes (H&M is a great way to go)

• Take Supplements (This is MacKenzie’s recent post about supplements and this is the IG live she hosted on all the things she and her family are taking.) Here is MacKenzie’s vitamin container.

• All the things MacKenzie drinks (here is the youtube video she did on this topic) coffee, protein, greens, electrolytes
