One of the things that I absolutely love about the summertime is going to the beach. And whenever I go to the beach, I will catch myself looking around and seeing some other women and their cute little swimsuits and thinking, "Oh, well, I don't look as good as she doesn't my swimsuit." Or "I wish I could wear a swimsuit like that, but my stomach would look terrible in that." 

Then I start going down this rabbit hole of comparing my body to everyone else's. And you've probably been there and have gotten into this comparison trap, especially when it comes to your bodies. But I want you to know, first of all, that you're not alone.

Today, I'm going to share with you some tips on how we can do better about this comparison game with my guest. We are breaking down some of the ways that we can escape the body comparison trap this summer. So if you're like me, and you want to do better about this comparison trap, stay tuned to this episode.

Summertime comes wanting to try out some new hobbies, whether it is indoors or outdoors.

I'm pretty sure the kids have probably asked you to go ahead and buy a canoe or buy some new rackets to play racquetball or tennis. Or maybe they wanted to do some knitting or build a Lego castle. And while all of that sounds like a whole lot of fun, it comes with a price. And it comes with space. You have to have somewhere to put all of the stuff that comes with these hobbies. So what are you going to do?

How are you going to try out some new hobbies, but not have the house be a cluttered mess? That's what we're going to talk about in this episode.

It's summertime! Summertime usually brings about summer vacation. And when I think about summer vacation, I think about food, or is it just me?

But don't get me wrong, when I think about eating on vacation I am also a little concerned that I will enjoy the food too much and it will show on my waistline.

And so how can we do better about enjoying our foods, but at the same time, eating things that are nutritious, and going to feel us and taste good? Because we want to enjoy a vacation. But we don't want to enjoy it so much that we ended up gaining a bunch of weight.

In this episode, you're going to learn how you can eat healthy while you're on vacation. So if you're like me, and you need some help, check out this episode.
