This week I'm addressing the question I get the most, "How do you find the motivation to workout every day?" The truth is I don't believe in natural workout motivation...I believe in HABITS! My successful workout regimen is all about building healthy habits and in this episode I walk you through some things I find most helpful in making exercise a part of my every day life.

2020 has served us up a lot of tragedy and unexpected events. Death has become something we now talk about on a regular basis. There are even tickers on the news tallying up the dead. It’s a very dark time. So, I think it’s time we talk about death and the unexpected. While this year has reminded us how uncertain life is…the truth is life is ALWAYS unknown. We never know what tomorrow brings, we can only control how we live and the legacy we leave behind.

This may be a dark and morbid topic but it’s necessary to start to come to terms with the unknown. How can we turn the end of our life into something beautiful? There is a way. Let's talk about it.

“They say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time.” - Banksy

This week we're talking about the value of a lifelong friend and the importance of investing time and energy into those precious relationships. Recently I listened to a new podcast on Audible called "Start Here" hosted by Mel Robbins. Mel's focus on one of the episodes was to help listeners get their friendships on track and strengthen the social support systems that help us live longer, richer lives. I thought this was a perfect time to get my best friend, Gianna, on the show to talk about the value of our friendship and how we can prioritize our loved ones, especially during the time of Covid.

Here is more info on "Start Here" by Mel Robbins, https://www.audible.in/pd/Start-Here-Audiobook/B08J86KWRR

This week my guest, Jennifer, created her company, Jordan’s Gems, after learning that her unborn baby (Jordan) had a heart defect and wouldn’t be able to be born alive. At that time, Jennifer had to wait out another month of pregnancy and she desperately needed something to help keep her mind off of what was happening in her body. She started making various handmade things to help her process through this journey and that creativity has brought Jennifer therapy and healing through a tragic time. Over the years this small company has blossomed and today has helped Jennifer and her family become debt free! I wanted to bring Jennifer on to talk about the importance of supporting small businesses and show how much our dollars make a real impact to families and small business like Jordan's Gems.

Jennifer is a stay at home Momma who has a 5 Star rated Etsy shop with almost 13,000 sales. You can connect with Jennifer on Instagram, @jordansgems.

This week I'm challenging you to check in with your WHY? Do you often look at WHY you do the things you do? Why do you stick with a job you don't like, why are you in that relationship, why are you still friends with that person, why haven't you started that side hustle? It's time for us to dig into the WHY. I chose the focus word "intention" for the year 2020 and answering the question of "why" helps me live life with more intention. Today there seems to be a crisis of purpose and meaning. Finding your sense of purpose is important as a clear sense of purpose enables you to focus your efforts on what matters most which compels you to take risks and push forward regardless of what's going on in this crazy world.

This episode is about so much more than organization. I found Lisa Woodruff from Organize 365 when my son, Cody, was around 1 year old. Because I was previously a "Type A" personality, that made for a tough transition into the chaos that motherhood can bring. I quickly felt overwhelmed by the craziness of every day life as a full time working mother with a child. The mail was stacking up, the dishes were always dirty and we had toys and books absolutely everywhere. Lisa's very real and functional approach to organization married with the systems she has developed taught me how to take back my house, learn to have better time management and most importantly give myself grace along the way. I am so grateful for everything she has taught me and as you can hear from the pure excitement in my voice, she has had a very real impact on my life.

You can follow Lisa on Instagram @organize365 and her website is www.organize365.com
