Real Wellness

We've hit 100 episodes! To celebrate, I recorded a powerful conversation with my coach, John Michael Morgan. He is best-selling author of Brand Against the Machine. He is the Chuck Norris of Mindset and Marketing.

And wow, does our conversation prove it. We cover the most important steps to make a mindset shift so your habits are easier and quicker. John shares how he pivots his morning routine so that it serves him best, on those mornings when he's not slept well. We uncover a really fun visual to help you reset when life throws off your habits. And, after a bit of a debate between us, we land on how to best hold yourself accountable and give yourself grace as you make new habits.
