"Comparison is self sabotage."
I am often asked about the process of writing my book - tips, tricks, the honest truth. It seemed like a good idea to bring on a book writing expert to the podcast because statistics state 81% of people think they might write a book one day.
Rea Frey is the multi-published, award-winning bestselling author of three suspense novels and four nonfiction books. She's been featured in US Weekly, Entertainment Weekly, Popsugar, Working Mother, Bustle, She Knows, Marie Claire, Parade, Shape, Brit + Co, Hello Giggles, CrimeReads, Café Mom, Writer's Digest, WGN, Fox News, Today in Nashville, Talk of the Town, and more.
She also recently founded and scaled her six-figure business Writeway™, where aspiring writers become published authors. On her weekly Writeway™ podcast, she cuts through the B.S. of the publishing industry and gives writers the exact information they need to make informed decisions about their careers. When she's not busy running a business, meeting book deadlines, or homeschooling her daughter, you can find her alternating between meditating, exercising, and trying not to lose her mind in the process.
This conversation is so informative, especially if you've ever thought about writing a book. I hope you get a ton of inspiration and motivation as you listen to Rea explain how you can share your ideas with the world.

"Life and love isn't about what you gain, it's about what you give."
If you've known someone or had a chronic disease yourself, you know how hard it can be to keep up a positive attitude month after month and year after year. That is why I love talking to my friend Somer, who was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis as a baby and is an amazing advocate for love and positivity.
Somer Love is the founder of Love to Breathe®, established in 2001, so she could give hope and positive energy to the Cystic Fibrosis community, especially to the families with newly diagnosed children. She believes it is important to educate and raise awareness about CF and spread love whenever and wherever she can. She's out to change the world! Somer tries to live each day to the fullest by keeping her hopes high, and dreams big!! She is 40 years old living with Cystic Fibrosis and she is an active advocate in the CF community.
This conversation is as uplifting as they get. It will turn your day around and remind you that breathing is a gift, and we can each be grateful for what we have.

"Our outside experiences are based on our inner thoughts and emotions."
Recently I asked you if you'd like to hear more self-love content from me, and the answer was yes! So I asked my friend Erica to come on the podcast to talk about one of the things she has become amazing at--teaching others to have more self-love.
Erica Lippy is a Los Angeles Native, renowned fit model, and the creator of Passion Love Pursuit; an intentional movement that encourages you to become your best self—living a vibrant life more passionately and purposefully. Her 16 years of expertise and vast knowledge in design, fit, and technical detail has made Erica one of the most sought after fit models (not to be mistaken for a fitness model) in Los Angeles. Having reached success in being known for her body and curves, she knows she has a much bigger purpose to serve.
This conversation is full of powerful reminders that you already have all the tools you need inside of you to reinvent your relationship to self-love -- and that it's worth it.

"You control the food, not the other way around."
If you've been trying to figure out how to help your immune system and your overall health during the pandemic, this episode is exactly what you're looking for. I got to talk with Dr. Lori Shemek, who is an expert on what inflammation does to our bodies, and how to manage it for optimal health.
Lori Shemek is well known as a pioneer in creating global awareness of low-level inflammation and how it is the underlying cause of most illness, disease, faster aging and weight gain. She has been sending out the message about inflammation long before it was a buzz word.
Dr. Shemek is an award-winning, bestselling author of How To Fight FATflammation!; The Ketogenic Key; Beginner's Guide to Intermittent Fasting and Fire-Up Your Fat Burn! She is a leading health and weight loss expert and also known as "The Inflammation Terminator." She has made it her mission to help clients lose weight and educate the public on the toxic effects of certain foods and lifestyle choices and how they create inflammation in the body resulting in weight gain. She is a leading authority on inflammation and its role in weight loss, preventing disease and optimizing health.
This conversation is a great reminder for those of us who have been trying to eat for longevity, and it's also a great place to start if you are just beginning to learn about how to create a diet that supports your best health. I love how Lori explains the truth behind food, and how each of us can improve our health through our own informed choices.

"Your hard work puts you where your blessings can find you."
This episode is one that I deeply relate to. I got to talk to a stylist to the stars, but what we ended up talking about motherhood, unexpected C-sections, self-love, and finding our identities.
Born and raised in New York, Ali credits her love for fashion to a city upbringing, and also a kinship style icon – her grandmother. Once Ali achieved in-house fashion experience, she made a rapidly successful transition to television and film. This shift eventually led to a move to Hollywood, where the Ali Levine Design firm is currently headquartered.
Since relocating to Los Angeles, Ali's work can be seen on Fran Drescher's Happily Divorced, In Time with Justin Timberlake, Kanye West's World Throne Tour, X-Men First Class, New Girl, and much more. A member of both the Motion Picture Costumes Local 705 and Design Guild 892, the red-head with the hazel-green eyes and even more colorful ensemble resides in Toluca Lake with her husband, Justin, two fashionable cats, Dolce and Ferragamo, and newest member, a fashionable pup named Oscar.
When Ali is not working, she continues to exercise her devotion to her field by scouring the hottest trends all over Los Angeles and New York. She has been dubbed the new "IT" girl in the celebrity styling world.
This conversation is personal, beautiful, timely, and for anyone who has been trying to find their way in a new chapter of life, with a new relationship to work, their body, their energy, and themselves.

"Everything is energy."
When I get to interview a good friend on the podcast, it always warms my heart and touches my soul. I met Tiffany a couple of years ago backstage, right before I spoke at a big event, and she has been a gift in my life ever since.
Tiffany Peterson is a speaker, coach and life lover who has been in this work for over twenty years. She is passionate about helping others overcome the challenges keeping them stuck – perhaps playing small, struggling with self doubt, or hiding in perfectionism – and she loves to help them develop the mindset and sales skillset to claim and create a life and a business that they love!
Whether speaking on large stages to intimate group retreats to private coaching, helping others develop positive success habits and sales strategies to create sustainable change brings her great joy in being part of someone's journey to their best life. She's helped many people, teams, and audiences double, even triple their sales, while cultivating a thriving and meaningful personal life in the process.
Tiffany has become a dear friend for many reasons, but I love what she shares in this episode about her philosophy on play, self-care, business, and life. I know you'll feel inspired the same way I am every time I hear her talk. And make sure to listen to the end of the show for a special TGAG giveaway!

"Life comes to break the idea of us, so we can break through."
Today's guest on the podcast is someone special. He has overcome some of the biggest challenges anyone faces to become a coach (working with the likes of Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi) and commit his life to serving others on the path of self-mastery.
After dealing with abuse as a child, being molested, struggling with drugs, and alcoholism, Princeton's life felt shattered. He lost himself and it led him into a deep depression. After a failed suicide attempt at the age of 23, he had a major awakening in his life. It took what he thought was broken and showed him that he had the power to change his story. That's exactly what he did. He chose to become a champion in his life and not the victim!
He had to choose to evolve his life mentally, spiritually, physically, and emotionally. Teaching others self-mastery, and how to evolve in every aspect of their lives is now his main focus. He is an advocate for expedited growth and active responsiveness that manifest optimal results. He has been a coach for the past 16 years, spoken to thousands of people, and is preparing to take things to a new level with the Evolved Mastery platform.
Princeton has a huge heart, an incredible story, and is on a mission to empower others to rise above their pain and grow through it. I loved hearing his perspective, his wisdom, and his heart. And make sure to listen to the end of the show for a special TGAG giveaway!
