MUVE Forward

For the past 15-20 years I’ve been researching and learning as much as I can about food, and how proper nutrition has an impact on our optimal health. I share a few personal stories of how nutrients can help with cell growth and how food can both heal but also harm you. We discuss my two favourite key points to optimal health which include reducing inflammatory foods and increasing nutrient dense foods. Both should be adapted into our diets to limit the chances of illness.

On the Muve Forward podcast today we are chatting about consistency and how important it is to attain the goals you may have. Whether it's goals in fitness, health, relationships, business or anything in life, if you have consistency, you will likely see great results. I share some personal struggles I've been having and some self doubt and how I'm choosing to continue to show up for myself either way and how I find inspiration to keep me consistent. There is a big world out here and I think it's important to remember that we have the right to dream big and to create the life you really truly want but with that it takes a lot of dedication, persistence and consistency.

Each of us have struggles and hardships but why do some individuals play the role of a victim while others are able to move forward? It's unclear why this happens but it's important to recognize it when it's happening and how to react to those around us when they are in this toxic self destructive state. When we live with anger and frustration we are stoping ourselves from living in our highest potential. Today I'm sharing how to identify someone playing the victim and how to help them see the positives in the situation rather than allowing them to stay paralyzed in the self pity. This episode is affective for both those who are living with self pity as well as those who know others who are acting like a victim.
