You have heard the saying "Show me your friends, and I will show you your future", or "I will tell you who you are". We are going to take a look at your closest friendships and do some reflections on them and on the influence that they have on you. What do your friends show others about your core values? And if this isn't the area of your life that is really clicking for you right now, what can you do about it?

Have you ever heard of the terms Carb Cycling, Metabolic Confusion, or Macro-nutrients? If you have but you aren't really sure what they are all about or how they relate to each other, then we are going to take a little crash course into the basics.

Have you heard of Gretchen Rubin's Book, The Four Tendencies? If you haven't, I will give you a quick re-cap and this week we will talk about what it is like to be the tendency that is the MOST common- that of The Obliger.

I know- you've heard it... fruits and vegetables are good for the diet. Plant-based eating is good for your gut health. Good gut health is the key to lots of all-around health. But what do we do when we don't want to completely change the way that we are eating? How can we make it feel easier? You have come to the right place if you want to know how to 'sneak it in' and not really feel a big change. But follow this plan and you will soon find yourself with a much happier gut. 

How is your New Year going? Many of us have begun some new habits and already by week 3 of January, it is not as exciting and fun as it felt on Week 1. Sometimes we already feel like we are juggling too much and that familiar feeling of overwhelm creeps in. What's a girl to do? Tune in for some practical tips that you can put into place today. 

Did you realize that MOST of what we do in a day, in a week, throughout the year are our established habit actions? We do have some variety in our lives, but even when an event comes up that we attend, or we go on a date, or see family, our behavior is largely based on our habitual behavior in those situations. When we begin a new habit, when is it actually considered to be a habit? We are going to dive into this deeply this week to look at the stages that we have to go through to be able to do something on auto-pilot and what other characteristics that we can look for to know that we have gotten past the drama of it. 

There are so many sayings around telling us to live a big life and to chase our dreams and never to give up until we get to exactly what it is that we want. After all, we don't want to have any regrets, right? This week we are going to explore the idea of what it means to actually live a smaller version of that life and a way that we can do that and end up with more satisfaction, gratitude and maybe even some manifesting the things that we want. 

It's that time again. Many of us will be sitting down to write our New Year's Resolutions. I have a different approach for you this year. Before you begin making yourself promises that will be abandoned within the first few weeks, consider making some goals that are sure to work for you.

What if this is the year that you can finally achieve that big goal that you want so much?

And more importantly, how can you use your favorite music, both the old favorites and new ones that you can discover, to help you to create new habits and routines in your life? We will take a look at the science and the biology of what happens when you listen your music that you love.
