  • Improve Connection with Active Listening
    Connection and community are so important when it comes to feeling balanced and healthy. In this episode, we talk about active listening. Listening and asking questions can sometimes feel like a lost art. Relationships with depth and meaning take time and energy. Asking the hard questions, really listening and showing up for your people can go a long way. On the flip side, a willingness to be vulnerable, open and honest with the people in your inner circle is equally as powerful. You know that feeling when you have a real, reciprocal conversation with a loved one? It can lift you up for the entire day. We are wired for connection.

  • Identify Your Limiting Beliefs
    In this episode, we talk about the power of our inner dialogue, and the impact it has on our ability to thrive in our life. We have all experienced negative self-talk and limiting beliefs, but for some people it can become a harmful backdrop to everything they do. We have seen how helpful it is to become aware of our inner dialogue and challenge our limiting beliefs, not only for our physical health, but for our emotional and mental well-being. In our course Surviving to Thriving, we give you strategies to do just that, so that you feel empowered to optimize your health.

  • Identify How You Want to Feel
    In this episode of the OptimizeYou Podcast, we discuss what it means to explore our "why" in life. To understand our personal motivations and purpose can be incredibly empowering when it comes to making decisions or change. We feel that our sense of purpose is deeply connected to our personal health and well-being. Because of this, it is the topic of the first module of our course #SurvivingToThriving. We have permission to evolve and grow. It's part of being a human. Staying curious and learning about our "why" or purpose is part of that evolution. #TheProjectIsYou #OptimizeYou
