Becoming the healthiest, wealthiest, most productive version of yourself is only possible when you are fueling your body with the right food. So often we think it won’t matter what we put into our bodies, but the food we eat affects our energy, mood, hormones, digestive health and so much more.

On this episode, we dive into mindful eating for health and wellness. And I’ve invited a special guest to help guide us through.

Amber Romaniuk is an Emotional Eating, Digestive and Hormone Expert who helps professional women achieve optimal health through mindful eating, self-care and overcoming self-sabotage with food.

Her podcast “The No Sugarcoating Podcast” has over a half a million downloads and she has appeared on local TV 50 times in the last three years alone.

Amber overcame her own emotional eating after gaining and losing more than 1,000 pounds, spending over $50,000 on binge foods and spending 5 years balancing her hormones and digestion.

Now she helps others achieve Body Freedom™ so they have the confidence and health to create amazing lives.

As Amber tells us through her own low point of binge eating out of a trash can, the suffering has to get bigger than the fear of making a change.

Listen in to hear how to create healthy boundaries with food, especially while we are all quarantining during this time.

And we discuss what a healthy relationship with food actually looks like, and how to get it for yourself.

Has this year shaken you up? How do we best handle loss, tragedy and the unforeseen circumstances that we may have experienced?

If we can learn how to look at life a little differently… taking aggressive action but leaving the outcome to unfold as it will, we will develop a resilience that will carry us through even the toughest of times.

My guest this week, Taryn Southern, has an impressive background and career as an artist, storyteller and digital personality.

A former YouTube personality & comedian, Taryn is passionate about the intersection of emerging technology, storytelling, and human potential. With more than 750 million views across her online videos, she has had a longstanding fascination with internet culture & influence.

In this vulnerable episode, Taryn shares the behind-the-scenes of her journey to resilience. Hit PLAY above to learn how you can better navigate difficult circumstances, no matter what might come your way.

Today's episode is uniquely personal. I am sharing an update on some things we have been battling over the last 6 1/2 years as we work tirelessly (and unsuccessfully) to grow our family. 

If you have been through similar struggles, know anyone who has, or are just curious what it is like... I invite you to come peek inside this journey.

On this episode, I share a personal essay I wrote this week titled: Infertility, IVF, Miscarriage.. Inside Our Uphill Battle to Have a Family.

At the end, I give 5 things that helped me immensely, and I hope they help you too.

As we all work to recover from the loss and change this year has brought us, there are two qualities that can help us: curiosity and creativity.

My guest on the podcast this week, Van Lai-Dumone, believes we are all innately curious and creative.

The trick is tapping into and deepening our capacities for curiosity and creativity… and in doing so, amazing new opportunities will open up to us.

This is the foundation of Van’s work as the Founder of worksmart, a progressive team development and leadership training company that activates creativity and experiential learning to enrich company culture and skyrocket performance.

Her clients include game changers such as Google, LinkedIn, and Pandora.

And today, she’s sharing all of her tips and resources with us!

Born in Vietnam and raised in Southern California, after her family fled Vietnam as war refugees, Van watched her parents pave a new life for themselves. She saw first hand how creative thinking, innovation, and curiosity can help people overcome their circumstances.

Van shares this story in her TEDx Talk titled, ‘What if? The Life Changing Power of Curiosity’.

An entire industry was born through the kindness and generosity of one Hollywood movie star, along with the tenacity and perseverance of 20 Vietnamese women. Van’s mother was one of these 20 maverick women — having lost everything, including their country — who paved the way for Vietnamese women and men in the nail industry.

40+ years later, the Vietnamese nail industry is a multi-billion dollar industry.

Following your curiosity really can change your life… and the world.

Collaboration is a beautiful thing to build support and accomplish both your own goals and help others reach theirs.

And our guest on the podcast this week is the perfect person to guide us into better collaborations, by giving us valuable tips and resources on how to get new opportunities coming directly to you.

Have you ever needed to have an important conversation with someone, nail a work presentation or sell to a client? Maybe you want to show up on video more online and build your professional presence?

If so, then you are in luck because I am bringing a speaking and communication expert to you on the podcast this week!

Heather Sager helps online entrepreneurs be seen as an authority in their industry by speaking live and on virtual stages without winging it. 

Heather had some major life challenges early on, with a severe hearing loss beginning in her 20s, and she can now only have a conversation by wearing hearing aids. It took her nearly 6 years to actually get the help she needed, which influenced how she communicated with others.

You will be inspired by her story, as she was eventually able to turn a hearing impediment into a beautiful gift as she began to look beyond the words people say— and to understand emotion, intentions and body language, which are all very important ways we communicate.

Along her career path, Heather has learned that our success is often limited by our ability to articulate a vision and get others onboard. Which is why she has dedicated her life to helping others do just that.

Entrepreneurs and professionals alike will benefit from this engaging, honest and tactical conversation. Get ready to show up with more confidence, starting today!
