February 22, 2022 100 Days Until "I Do" #130 - Boundaries with Parents while Wedding Planning
I want to give you the 411 on planning my wedding. I've held back for so long on sharing this episode and I know it won't be everyones cup on tea. But I have always spoken about my personal experience and what I've learned from them, or how I have used self-care to navigate them.
To start I want to acknowledge how wonderful and how much I love my family. This is not a bash episode, we actually turned the corner as we come closer to the day and that's why I wanted to share. So for any other brides out there that may feel your family has been difficult during your wedding planning, know there is hope.

February 15, 2022 Why We Chose a LIVE Wedding Band #129 - Featuring Kurt Titchenell
Kurt Titchenell is the founder and President of BVTLive! He is also the band leader, trombone player, and co-creator of the award-winning dance band Jellyroll and has been performing with the band since 1980.
Planning a wedding can be a great experience, but it can also be a stressful time especially when it comes down to the details like deciding upon wedding music. The choice between a live wedding band and a DJ can be a tough one. While a wedding DJ might be able to play the original recordings you know, there is nothing like dancing to live music at your wedding. If you want a unique experience, there is no better option than a live band playing front and center at your wedding.
Kurt began studying music at an early age leading him to pick up the trombone at age 15. Kurt has studied at Settlement Music School in Philadelphia and continued his studies at West Chester University where he received his degree.
In 1999, after nineteen years of performing with the award-winning Philadelphia wedding and dance band, Jellyroll. Kurt Titchenell started Brandywine Valley Talent, now known as BVTLive, the leading party and wedding entertainment agency in the Philadelphia area! Kurt’s vision was to create a company that would exclusively represent dance bands that shared his philosophy of making clients’ dreams come true by surpassing all expectations, thereby creating great opportunities for the musicians involved.

January 11, 2022 5 Ways to Fight Winter Fatigue #124
Do you find it harder and harder to roll out of bed in the winter? When the temperature drops and the mornings are darker and we all just want to snooze and stay cozy in our sheets. So why are we all turning into sleeping beauty? Less sunlight means your brain produces more melatonin. The more of the melatonin hormone in your body, the sleepier you get.
5 Ways to Fight Winter Fatigue:
1. Get that D - Vitamin D, I mean. Let the sun shine my friends!
2. A good night's sleep - 8 hours, no more, no less
3. Regular Exercise - Don't over-do it and don't under-do it
4. Learn to Relax - Less stress and cat naps
5. Eating Clean - Watch out for sugar! I break down ways to cut down on on your daily sugar intake.

January 04, 2022 New Year, Fresh New You - #123
Welcome back to a new year my love and a Season 3 of the podcast!! 365 Fresh New Days for you to focus on Self Care!
I wanted to work on our new years resolution. Most of us lead the new year with: Exercise more, Lose weight, Live a little more freely, Get organized, Learn a new skill, Start a new hobby, Save more money, Spend less money, Quit something, Read more, etc... They can be so overwhelming and/or generic.
This episode breaks down ways to get ourselves in check this new year. More specific aspirations, focusing on what's actually in our control, keeping our ambitions reasonable, and not beating ourselves up when we fall short.

December 07, 2021Loosing Sleep Over Stress? #121
Sitting on big news? Stressed about work? Money problems? All things we loose precious hours of sleep over. Today, I share a few techniques that I'm currently implementing to help get me to sleep or back to sleep. I know I'm not the only one. Nearly a third (30%) of Americans said they occasionally lose sleep because they’re worried about work. Whether it’s work, money, relationships, health, politics, or something else on your mind that’s making it hard to get the rest you need to get ahead, a lack of sleep could seriously interfere with the career goals you’re working so hard to reach.
When we are so focused on our career, it can be easy to forget that what we do after work is just as important. Our hobbies, relationships, exercise and most importantly, sleep! But even if you know that sleep is important for your productivity and success at work and are trying to make it a priority, you might have trouble falling and staying asleep. And sometimes it’s work itself that’s causing the problem.
Try these 10 Tricks:
No TV in bed. Bed is the sleep location.

Making a To-Do List for tomorrow before you get ready for bed.

Avoid looking at your phone or devices before bed, in bed, or when you can't sleep in the middle of the night

The 4 7 8 Breathing Technique to decrease your heart rate 8% to prep you for sleep.

Two types of Showers: Hot or Cold both have benefits for your body to get into sleep mode.

Sleep Naked. Avoid restricting yourself especially when you sleep.

Stick one foot out from under a blanket and open a window.

Download a sleeping podcast.

Instead of stressing, "I can't sleep" try recounting your day. "Accept the unacceptable"

Try holding a simple yoga pose for 3-5 minutes.
