134. Managing Health and Mind for Better Business with Cate Stillman

Your health and wellness has a big impact on your business and there are a lot of opinions about what being healthy looks like. Social and cultural norms often take precedence, along with quick fixes.   The truth is that change and evolution, both in business and in your health and wellness, take time. This week on the podcast, Cate Stillman is sharing her expertise around integrating changes into business, doing hard things, getting uncomfortable so you can evolve, designing your lifestyle, taking care of chronic issues, and so much more.    What Cate has to say is controversial for many because it goes against everything the masses believe in our culture. But isn’t that an even better reason to have this conversation? It’s important to open minds to new ideas and ways of doing things and to truly look at the science behind why we feel the way we feel and do the things we do.   I hope you’ll tune in with an open mind and think about how you can let go of some of the challenges that might be holding you back.
