Ladies, do you struggle to keep yourself motivated? If so, you’re definitely not alone!

It’s easy to find initial motivation to change something because when you first set out a goal, you’ll find you’re excited and highly motivated to achieve it. However, fast forward a week or two and that motivation slowly starts to dwindle away.

Getting motivated is easy, but the research says maintaining it is not. The good news is, there are ways you can boost your motivation when you feel it starting to dissipate.

But what I want to know is are we born with different amounts of motivation- is it innate or is it learned?

In today’s show we discuss:

3 tips to boost motivation right now!

5 Motivation mistakes you could be making right now!

Why motivation is key to self-improvement?

Can what you eat influence your motivation?

How to successfully maintain motivation for the long haul?

Funny thing happened this week. Not only did a lot of my in office patients ask me about what supplements they should be taking but so did a few of our online community members, so I thought I would turn on the mic and rattle off my top 11.

I also get asked a lot where should I buy my supplements from and what brand of supplements should I buy, so I addressed these as well.

I’m not a believer in taking a handful of supplements every day and you’ll hear me address this as well. If you have been listening to me for any length of time you already know that I prefer to get my vitamins and nutrients from food and I prefer you do too but sometimes we need to supplement.

As a woman, it is important that you take good care of your health, on the inside and out. The top way you can do this is by ensuring you are giving your body all the nutrients it needs. Today we are dishing on the 11 supplements that I think are especially important for you as a women to have.

Don’t forget to get the foods for insomnia e-guide as some of the supplements we are discussing in today’s show are in those foods as well.

Go to www.wellwomennetwork.com/foods to grab it today.

An awakening has happened, no pun intended, regarding the importance of sleep. Sometimes referred to as the "sleep revolution," people are realizing the necessity of a good night's sleep.

Impaired sleep and insomnia can be extremely detrimental to our bodies. The repercussions of sleeping less than five solid hours per night can begin as fatigue, moodiness, and impaired cognitive response, i.e brain fog and slow thinking as well as iomparied creativity. These can quickly escalate into more serious health conditions like weight gain, weakened immune system, high blood pressure, depression, and anxiety. 

There are remedies for nearly everything today; impaired sleep and insomnia included. Ladies, you can easily find pills at your local drugstore or ask your medical provider for a prescription sleep aid; however, a lot of these can leave you feeling even more sleepy or fatigued the next day.

Luckily, there are many natural options to help you fall and remain asleep. Herbs, essential oils, bedroom plants, and meditation are all ways to assist with better sleep and offer little to no side effects and that’s what we are talking about today.

I am also giving you a great freebie to go along with this episode called “Foods For Insomnia.” It’s loaded with 16 different foods that you can mix in recipes or just eat them on their own. Grab it here

One complaint that I get every day in my practice is women of all ages having issues in getting a great night's sleep, but few of them like many of you may not realize that insomnia issues may be directly related to the lack of you having a sleep hygiene. If you are one of these women, you might know you have issues with getting proper sleep but aren’t sure exactly why.

While women experience sleep disturbances for a variety of reasons, some of those reasons being stress, poor diet, medical and mental health conditions, other women and perhaps you just might need to do one simple thing – improve your sleep hygiene.

So, if you are experiencing daytime fatigue or sluggishness this is the episode for you.

February not only kicks off heart health month, but it is also my birthday month, my anniversary month, and of course It has Valentine’s day-the day of amour.

The idea for this series was born when I polled my four 28-year-old daughters friends with this question, at a recent girl’s night in- not to worry all the girls at the small gathering already had COVID- so the question I asked them was “at what age did they think heart disease started?” most of them said it starts in women over 50 years and older. Then I asked them if they thought they needed to worry about their heart health and most of them said heart health is not something that they feel they have to be concerned with at this age.

Well, my young at heart women, I’m going to tell you just like I told them, that is just not the case. I went on to explain to them that changes in your blood vessels just don’t happen overnight. Just like with type 2 diabetes or other illnesses, the changes start gradually without warning and research is now showing us that heart health changes can start in your early 30’s.

So, listen in to part 1 of our healthy heart series because we explore what does having a healthy heart mean?

Developing healthy habits isn’t just for your physical and mental health ladies, but also for getting more done each day. These habits help you live your life and run your businesses more effectively, from your morning and nighttime routines, to your physical activity, to how you eat, including your free time for fun or self-care. If you want to boost your productivity, the first step is to change your habits.

In today’s show we are going to explore how healthy habits boost your productivity, but before we do that, we need to re-visit last week’s topic on habits just for a refresh, but more along the line of why we, me and you, keep going back to old habits.

I want you to think about this for a moment and ask yourself has there been a time when you have wanted to change a bad habit but no matter how hard you try to change that old, bad habit or habits, you always seem to go back to them? Well ladies you are definitely not alone. There are actually scientific reasons for this, and by understanding this behavior pattern, you will be on your way to putting an end to it, so that you can start to put those healthier habits into place and boost your productivity.
