This episode is about something that really matters as leaders and goal setters: setting our personal foundation. We need to create habits of intention, and moving our body every day, even in simple ways, is directly tied to so many of the other goals we have in our lives and how to turn our small steps into the big progress that moves us forward.

And that’s why I'm so pumped to have my friend and wellness coach Laura Pound, founder of the wellness brand, Foundation, come hang out for this conversation.

No matter what goal you’re going after, it’s about connecting spirit, soul and body through good habits and healthy mindsets to create lasting impact.

Where does it come from?  How do we get more of it? Are some just born with it?

In this episode we're breaking down why confidence + humility is a recipe for great leadership and how we can cultivate that in our every day lives.

We are bombarded with success stories from those who have crossed the finish line of their goal or dream, which is great! 

But what about the stories from the STARTING LINE? What happens when the applause stops before we've made progress and we start believing the answer is to quit?

We're diving into the TRUTH  of STARTING and 3 tools to keep you running on mission. 

You don't have to stand at the starting line alone, friend! So pull up a chair and let's chat it out.

***This one is a DAILY GAME CHANGER***

Here's the deal fam, our day to day lives today require way more of us than we were created to manage. But what if we can unsubscribe from the chaos? 

So here's a Mascot Martha Pineapple approved tool for you that I've used for years to manage overwhelm and anxiety, especially during daily transitions...turns out it also helps us decompress by creating more space for joy, peace, love + FUN (um, yes, please!)

And the best part: it can be done anywhere in just 60 seconds. 

OK, how many times have you had a dream or vision tugging your heart but have no clue where to start because it feels so far from where your feet are?

Most of us have. That TUGGING is our destiny calling; the work we've been put here for...so how do we get from HERE to THERE?

God speaks to us through dreams and visions and to help me with this conversation, I’m honored to have the great Mayo Sowell joining us.

Mayo's journey began as a star athlete, playing football for Auburn University, then the Buffalo Bills in the NFL where he thought the pinnacle of his career would land. 

But a surprising plot twist has led Mayo into a unique brand of ministry where he is currently planting a church and growing a faith movement in Atlanta, GA, known as LIIV Atlanta.

This episode is packed with so much-we rif on everything from how creativity fits anywhere, what to do with a vision, comfort zones and how to connect the dots of our purpose. 

We're not just walking away with some great leadership nuggets here, this is a message of HOPE that is sure to leave you feeling more encouraged than you came. 

So go ahead and hit PLAY ;)

The Fresh Fruit Project is BACK, y'all-and with extra pep in our step because Martha Pineapple’s rollin’ in hot with a re-FRESH-ed vision (see what we did there? HA.).

Good stuff is going down! Come and see...

So this episode is short and sweet-you know how much we talk about being present and working from a healthy place around here. So as we’re approaching the end of summer, The Fresh Fruit Project will take a short break to finish up the summer-and encourage you to do the same.

Take a break where you can, recharge, reset and enjoy this slightly slower time of year.

The FFP will be right back with new episodes in mid August.

The mid year check in is a good way to stay on top of goal progress…AND it can also stir up lots of anxiety over the undone items and leave us feeling behind or even stuck, questioning if we're doing enough. 

Here are 3 questions to ask not just for mid-year but any time we may be feeling stuck that realign us with the bigger picture of why we're taking the action we are and keep us moving FORWARD in who we're becoming along the way.

There’s a version of rest we don’t talk about much but we can’t afford to overlook: soul rest.

Yep, our mind and spirit need rest just like our bodies but in a hustle based culture, it’s harder to do.

So we’re breaking down what soul rest is, why we need it and strategies for making it part of our living routine instead of standard burnout mode.
