Who loves H.I.I.T workouts? H.I.I.T stands for high intensity interval training. If you started jumping up and down saying me? Your not alone. These are my favorite workouts to do especially since I focus on short, intense workouts. Most of my clients are women who own their own business or stay at home moms. They need things that work fast & efficiently. I really started to embrace H.I.I.T after becoming a mom and realizing I couldn't just go to the gym for as long as I felt like and dilly dally around. I needed something that worked and combined cardio & lifting.

Brittany is someone who I discovered on Instagram and was struck by her honesty and approach to raising her two girls. She has a fantastic blog where she shares her insights of being a mom and truly gives you a look into her life. Her blog started as a 5 day a week blog, 2 times a day! As her kids aged she realized 3 days a week has become a little more of a doable number. She shows what activities she does with her girls, what she feeds her daughters and will be sharing her journey into homeschooling this Fall. Any moms out there looking for fun creative ideas to do with their kids make sure you check out her blog over at www.ahealthysliceoflife.com

Welcome to the Peaceful Power Podcast I'm your host Andrea Claassen and today I'm diving into my Peaceful Power Practice #5- a plant focused diet.

Today could be a controversial topic plus it's food related which always hits a spot. So bare with me as I tackle this hot topic as of late.

In Ayurveda they have a few "rules" about nutrition. Now being a vegan is not one of them. But focusing less on the meats and more on in-season fruits & vegetables is what they would prefer you to eat.

Elizabeth and I initially connected over a challenge we were both doing online. I saw she recently started a podcast and was advocating for women using fitness. I was very intrigued to hear more about her message and learn more about her background. As you will see she has an extensive background in journalism and is very patient about helping the innocent victims in particular children who were sexually abused. Warning, this could be a triggering episode for those who have dealt with that in the past.

Jenny is someone I found after googling Ayurvedic postpartum doula. I didn't know what that was or that it even existed. So I wanted to learn more about that and how it can help women in the first 6 weeks after giving birth. Along with being an Ayurvedic postpartum doula, Jenny also teaches mindful communication skills. She teaches classes on how to actually reframe the stories we might see the world in. She breaks down one way that I can use this in my daily life with my husband. This is a great tool for anyone looking to better their relationships.

Today I break down how I've changed my relationship with food over the past few years. It has been an introduction of things I never thought I would do as well as overcoming snacking binges of the past.

Below are a highlight of some of the strategies that worked for me:

Eating mostly plant based meals

Early, lighter dinners

Eating in season

Paying attention to how I feel after I eat

Paying attention to what foods are in season

Watching my snacking in between meals

Planning what I want to eat

Addie is the reason I am in the training industry. I went to college with Addie and after we graduated she started a personal training business. I was interested in learning how she did it and decided to reach out to her. She then taught me how I could start a business and we have been a support system for each other ever since. If you're in the fitness industry looking to stop trading dollars for hours Addie goes through how she made that transition and is always learning how to lead and to never stop learning.
