To celebrate National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day, we offer this Bonus Edition of Monkey Chatter!

This episode was born out of our shared love of animals, and some special rescue pets that have touched each of our lives. Listen as the monkeys chatter about our current and past rescues, some special organizations we support, and our hopes that more people can adopt and share in the love!

The monkeys take a deep dive into the renowned book "Why We Sleep" by Matthew Walker.

Join Amy, Lara, and Michelle as the monkeys chatter about the implications of sleep on overall health and wellness as presented by author and neuroscientist Matthew Walker.

This episode starts with a brief update from our curious monkey Michelle on her experience with buying workout shoes and socks from the last episode on workout clothes! 

Then listen as we discuss the amazing, and sometimes scary effects that quality and quantity of sleep can have on our lives, from weight  management, to learning ability, heart health, and more.

We chat about our own struggles and experiences with sleep from the perspective of three different age groups, and challenge our audience to take a close look at their sleep habits!

The monkeys delve into the best-selling book by neuroscientist Matthew Walker, in this two-part episode. In Part I, we examine our own sleep patterns and the premise of this groundbreaking book.

Sleep is an incredibly powerful tool to help us feel and perform at our best. The team vows to finish the book, put what we read about into practice, and share even more about what we learned for Part II! 

Wow do we have different views when it comes to workout, yoga, or exercise gear! 

This is light episode where we have fun sharing our faves. 

Listen as the monkeys discuss their various views on what we wear, and why, from running shoes, socks, and hats, to yoga tops and pants, and Michelle's favorite (and perhaps a little unconventional) walking outfit!

Are you a morning person or a night owl? Do you insist on a strict A.M. schedule to keep you on track or is  there a relaxed pattern to the start of your day? Or maybe the sound of the alarm fills you with terror as you race to get everything done in order to leave the house on time! 

Listen as the monkeys relate their own experiences and routines, and even discuss SAD lamps! What is a SAD lamp you say? Listen and learn friends!  

Join the monkeys as we chatter about the benefits of being grateful and Amy becomes the "Curious Monkey"! 

We address having a gratitude practice and what that looks like, as well as how people find ways to feel thankful in so many different scenarios.

It's personal and everybody has individual definitions of gratitude, as well as how to find, share, and experience it!

A perfect follow up to our last installment of Monkey Chatter: The Importance of Community, Episode 4 discusses how powerful a group of monkey minds can be when they set the same intention!

Listen as we share our personal thoughts on the matter, and chatter about real life scenarios like the Resonate Peaceful Cities Project!

There's even a book recommendation or two along the path!

The monkeys chatter about the importance of community and having access to support from like-minded people. 

Learn and laugh with us as we introduce a few stats, then discuss our own tribes and share examples of when and how it really matters. We get personal while giving and getting a little love from each other!

Did you know only 8% of New Year’s Resolutions actually succeed?

The Three Monkeys take a deep dive into the concept of traditional resolutions and why they typically fail. We delve into the difference between intentions and goals, and share favorite authors and influences. Each monkey offers their unique take on how to succeed with creating intentions.

Join us to take a closer look at how you create your best year!

Monkey Chatter – Who You Hang With Matters!

Our inaugural podcast introduces you to the Three Monkeys. Three colleagues turned friends, living in three different states, with three views on all things wellness!  What began as candid conversations on being our best selves, morphed from zany Zoom calls into an idea for the Monkey Chatter Podcast, where we share our experiences with the mainstream!  

Join Food & Fitness Monkey Amy, Yoga & Meditation Monkey Lara, and Curious Coach Monkey Michelle, as they introduce each other (without rehearsal)! You'll notice the three distinct personalities, probably hear some inside jokes and teasers for future episodes, along with finding out how well they really know each other!

Along the way, you'll notice there's a deep friendship and desire to help others delve into the world or wellness! We hope you love our silliness as much as we do!
