This week, we’re answering listener questions about snacking healthier, starting a career in fitness, and teaching mental toughness to kids. We wrap the episode up with a new Cool Down, where we give you permission to (perhaps) do the thing you know you should be doing, but aren’t.

The questions we’re answering this week:

1️⃣ From Aidan: Do you have any suggestions for healthy and clean snacks?

2️⃣ from Kevin: I think I want to pursue a career in fitness, but I'm struggling with how to start while still supporting my family. How long should I try to see if the new position is something I'll enjoy?

3️⃣ from Victor: How can a parent teach their child a lesson on mental toughness?

4️⃣ from Orsi: How can I determine if an activity or experience, like a multi-day solo bike ride and camping with my 1-year-old, is a wise decision that will benefit her long-term development, considering potential disruptions to her daily routine and possible sleepless nights?
