Happy new year! To kick off 2022, here's a special episode for you. We're airing Jenn's interview from the Mind Over Macros podcast. Mike Millner, host of Mind Over Macros, asks Jenn not only about her story and experience going from side-hustle to full-time, self-employed health coach but all about stress and what we can do about it. Sure the year is just starting but it's so easy to lose those vacation vibes and shift into old habits or routines. This interview is likely exactly what you want to hear right now.
