Owning the Wait

Today we are talking about nutrition and how you perceive your meal times, meal plans, and diet, and opening up your mind to see it from a different perspective. How we talk about nutrition is the energy we are feeding ourselves to either keep us on the yoyo or to get us off of the yoyo. Is this going to nourish your body and promote a happy, healthy lifestyle? Or are you putting yourself in a box with a bunch of rigid rules, and if you come out of the box, you're a failure?

Caitlin Murphy is the founder and CEO Global Gateway Logistics out of St. Louis, MO. She has a very interesting background, having lived in Bejing two different times in her life. She joins the Owning the Wait podcast with an encouraging story of how God moves in business.

Did you realize God wants to be in your business and your career?! I'll use this platform as a way to highlight the cross section of business and faith. Caitlin's story and presence will show you why this is so important.

In 2020, like so many of us, Caitlin's business experienced transformational change. She talks us through how God led the way, using prayer warriors and acting in faith to get 2 million masks to our US health workers. With so much stacked against her, she and her company put all faith in God and he delivered.

Caitlin also talks about her spiritual disciplines and how she learned and instilled practices in her life and her kid's lives that point to God.

This episode will teach you what it means to own the wait.

Your business owns you. That's why you have to love it, guys. On this episode, I am literally on the highway in St. Louis driving around one of my delivery trucks doing a food transfer from one store to another to level out inventory. This is something I have done since fit-flavors had it's first brick and more tan 7.5 years ago.

When you're a business owner, you need to be okay doing the dirty work because that's how you stay connected to your business and your people. If you're trying to start something or you're running something and working for someone. It's not that it's about doing more work, but expect to do more than you expected. To be successful, put in the time, have follow through, you have to be okay failing and coming back from those failures. When you come back from a failure, there's something more to learn.

This episode will encourage you to leave that victim mentality behind and do the damn work. You're never too good for the dirty work.

Portion control is all about sustainability. If you're used to going out to eat, you're used to getting over-served.

So, what is proper portion control? This episode will teach you my philosophy around portion control, one of the 3 pillars of nutrition that I build my company, fit-flavors, around.

You may already know that a well-balanced meal should contain a quality protein, starch, and veggie, but how much do you need? Or better yet, what does a proper portion look like? Let's talk about it!

On this episode, we chat about one of the 3 pillars of fit-flavors' philosophy on nutrition: quality.

Quality food means real, minimally processed food that your body knows how to digest and use as fuel. When you eat mostly high-quality food, you will feel full and energized.

The fact of the matter is we can't get 100% away from processed foods (and we wouldn't want to). Eating 0% processed foods restricts us unnecessarily and this all-or-nothing mindset often leads to a yo-yo of eating poorly. The key is balancing processed foods with high-quality foods. It's all about balance.

Today, I will share more details about what quality food looks like and why it's important!

Executing your spiritual routine is no different than going through a lifestyle change. On this episode, I want to help you start your spiritual discipline by sharing how I made mine. It wasn't as easy as "read the bible and all of a sudden be close with God." No. I had shit to process. But God always shows up.
