The Art of Living Well Podcast®

In this episode you will hear from Erin Newkirk, who is an award-winning innovator with rich leadership in tech, consumer packaged goods, and healthcare.

Erin is one of Twin Cities Business' 100 People to Know and she is relentless in driving recognition for the companies she champions, notably Entrepreneur Magazine's 100 Brilliant Companies (Red Stamp), Forbes' Next Billion Dollar Start-Up (Bright Health), and Minne Inno's 2019 'Inno on Fire" (Local Crate).

Built on 25 years of vibrant work/life experience, Erin created and champions a holistic growth model that will help you and your team put strategies in place to maximize your potential in work and life.

We are excited to share with you Erin's latest business endeavor, Satya, an initiative she says is based on "helping founders and leaders succeed through speaking their truth and getting them to the point where they are working their best life. "

We have no doubt that whatever you do or wherever you are on your life's journey that you will be inspired by our conversation with Erin.

We talk about work life balance, why it gets such a bad rap and how you can be intentional to make your career and a vibrant life work together in tandem with each other.

Erin guides us through a short exercise to create your very best day, which we highly recommend you do as well.

Erin also tells us about Maitri (my-tree), which represents loving-kindness. We talk about how you can find moments to insert self-care while sharing kindness in your daily life.

Erin's latest program launching in early 2020 is Satya Advisory, a carefully crafted protocol she created that will help you grow your business and feel great while you do it. To find out more information and sign-up for this program head over to www.erinnewkirk.com

• Solitude before you start getting information from external sources (or your kids if you're a parent)
• Setting a good example for your kids with self-care

• Starting your day in a calm yet motivated and energized manner that enables you to be productive all day long.

We encourage you to evaluate your morning routine...do you have one? What areas would you like to implement? Pick one or maybe two of the tips discussed in this episode that will have the biggest impact on your day and start it tomorrow.

In this episode we chat with Mollie Krengel. For Mollie, living with more meaning is not only a passion, she has made it her life's work.

Applying her degree in Human Biology, certificate in Positive Psychology and lifelong practice of dance, Krengel founded a grassroots and growing community called Wildhive in 2015. A collection of mini adventures that unite community and bring play back into people's lives. Wildhive evolved into annual women's philanthropic adventures, combining the magic of travel, dance and meaningful volunteer work abroad.

Never more energized than when she travels, Krengel believes in the physiological, physical and mental benefits of travel. Krengel has a deep yearning to encourage everyone to experience its life-changing ways.

Understanding that there was likely a community who, like her, geeks out over travel research, Krengel sought to create a beautiful platform that brings passionate travelers together and, thus, Wild Bum was born. Now, through Wild Bum, Krengel shares her enthusiasm for travel, while creating a community to help people sell their hard-earned travel research and help those who find travel planning completely overwhelming. Wild Bum has become a global community of Guide Architects + travel-aspirers, founded on adventure, and living with more meaning.

A Guide Architect on Wild Bum herself, she is always dreaming of travel, dancing with her friends, and sparking up conversations with strangers.

Learn more about Wildhive's mini & big adventures and sign-up to join our global platform & community at wildbum.com.

Mollie is offering all of our listeners a 50% discount off of one of her amazing travel guides. Simply reach out to her at [email protected] or on social media (see links below) and mention this podcast for your code.

Marnie and Stephanie dive deep into the topic of cravings and explain how cravings are the body's way of communicating with us.

Primary causes of cravings: Dehydration, Nutrient Deficiency, Relationships, Stress, Boredom, Foods from Childhood, Hormonal, Seasonal, Body Imbalance.

Challenge for the week: Every time you find a craving coming your way, stop to ask yourself these questions:

• Are you dehydrated?

• Are you nutrient deficient?

• Are you bored, tired, stressed?

• Is this a habit?

If so, jot down notes in a journal and see if you notice any patterns. Before you give into cravings, have a glass of water, take a few deep belly breaths or go for a walk outside and then decide if you are still actually hungry.
