TVC 044 Fit Family: Kids Online or Outdoors
This weeks podcast is all about balancing screen time with down time for kids. As a special guest I asked online guru and working mum Yvette Adams, to chat about her book No Kidding, about bridging the gap for kids with modern life technology and back to basics healthy living.

Last week I heard there was a statistic quoted in Australia, saying that 57% of children were reportedly falling asleep at night with their mobile device still on on front of them.

This is alarming, especially since the amount of childhood obesity is on the rise and children are more and more glued to their mobile devices. I’m actually not quite sure if that ‘57%’ is accurate and how they get that information, or even if I have that figure correct, as when ever I go and research it the numbers keep changing – some up to 70%…

However I certainly know that our kids are heading for a series short term highs and big time lows via the digital world that I never experienced growing up.

I can vividly remember crawling in bed at night as a child exhausted from a long day at school and all the activities that went with a life outdoors. Growing up in NZ I was not in the middle of a concrete jungle, and my natures playground has been a consistent part of my life from the moment I was up and mobile. I consider myself blessed – especially now.

What if that life growing up outside is now the minority? The tired feeling kids get from just having fun until the street lights come on? Now their agenda is so fill with extra curriculum activities, homework, social engagements and screen time there is little wonder they are over-tired and under nourished.

I know many of my entrepreneurial and busy clients that have a family are dealing with the battle of distraction, of screen time and hand held devices filling home time, holidays and transit time with their children.

So how do we balancing Active Kids with The Pull of Technology? Have a listen to this weeks podcast.
I welcome your comments and questions – we are going to have much more on this topic, bringing balance back into family life and how to help educate and empower your children to have lasting healthy habits.
We hope you enjoy this episode. Email me or leave a comment below.

TVC 043: The Vitality Road Map
I’ve put together a special series focusing on the 3 pillars of Vitality to get your goals off paper and into action for an unforgettable year of breaking down road blocks and high-fiving milestones!

In this podcast I walk you through the reason behind goals that succeed and steps to find your why and define the how.

We run through a basic ‘chemistry check’ to ensure your goals are really valuable to you, that they resonate and that your why is strong enough to keep you on track and connected to make them happen.

Not just about health and fitness – this can be applied to any area of life from business to personal.

* Do you know what vitality feels like, can you define what your personal best really is?
* Are you motivated and unwavering in your goals because your conviction for doing so supersedes and short term temporary distraction?

I’ll be covering all these questions and more in my free 4 week VITALITY ROAD MAP program. Get started with this free 4 week kick start version.

January 01, 2015 TVC 042: 12 Ways of Fitmas and into 2015
TVC 042: 12 Ways of Fitmas.. and into 2015
Happy New Year folks. I know most of you are still in the middle of the holiday season that spans Christmas break and NY celebrations so here’s my 12 WAYS of a focused holiday season to keep you the life of the party and still look and feel fabulous.
NO New Years diet resolutions for you lovely listeners and readers, as we hit this goal setting season with the vigour of and the focus of an olympic athlete.
In today’s podcast I share 12 quick top tips on finding balance, having fun and feeling fantastic. How to change your game plan during family holidays with a new approach to office parties, long lunches and old-school indulgence. A fresh perspective that will have you off the couch and feeling fantastic all holiday long.
Here’s your top 12 tips:

* Your game plan

First up remember that it’s up to you how you view the Christmas/New Year season in terms of keeping fit, healthy and feeling great. If you enter into it with the mindset “it’s going to wreck my plan and be so hard to be good” etc it’s a reflection you’re still on the diet and ‘exercise is a chore’ mentality. Why not integrate some healthy habits to maintain rather than a binge season to regret. You’re in charge.
2. Know thy self
If you like to get up early and have a moment to yourself before the rest of the family is running about then keep that up. Holidaying with friends and family and want to stick to your routine? Just commit and offer for people to join but don’t give up on your plan if they decide to stay on the sofa with a wine…know your goals, what things you need to stay balanced and stick to your plan.

3. Change that story
This really relates to point 1. If you’re reading this then chances are you’re an intelligent mover and shaker and really don’t need a lecture on having healthy habits. So what can you do this year to change your story and avoid the internal negotiation “I’ll just have one”… For example I know that I have the 80.20 rule. I am generally fit, healthy and eat well. So having a glass of bubbles or two is not the end of the world. Don’t get sucked into the sugar train this holiday season either.
Just avoid sweets, artificial foods and anything processed altogether. Fresh is best. Enjoy amazing summer produce, bring salads and berries and fresh deserts and healthy snacks to family events. Get inspired to be the best version of yourself.

4. Enjoy life
Everything in moderation. Make great choices and enjoy the holidays. Put having fun for fitness at the top of your agenda. Try stand up paddle with your friends or family, book a learn to surf lesson or head out to the country side and explore the region. Dust off the bike and explore on 2 wheels rather than 4, take the dog outside and run around with plenty of fresh air and a fresh look at what simple things can be so enjoyable. Spread some healthy holiday cheer with an outdoor glow…(just remember the sunscreen). Nature is an incredible gym. Go exploring.

5. Out with the old and in with the FEW
Maybe this year it’s about setting boundaries and committing to events you really enjoy and choosing how you spend your time wisely.

December 07, 2014 TVC 040: Fit in The City 48 Hrs in San Fran
TVC 040: Fit in The City 48 Hours in San Fran
5 Tips for fast fitness in the city when you’re traveling in San Francisco. I was in San Fran last week for a mere 48 hours as we set up the plans for my book launch next year. It feels in between seasons as a constant drizzle and then the odd downpour hits the city and creates a 50 shades of grey across the skyline.

We were having the “In and Out Burger” experience but in a fitness element, with such limited time. I’m going to call this trip the fly-thru through rather than the drive-thru!

(Not that I eat In & Out Burgers but I’ve heard you can get the healthy version of a lettuce burger without the bun, just saying….)

We hit the ground running – literally. Catching an early flight in from LA here are my 5 top tips for some fast fitness and healthy living in one of my favourite cities.

No matter what time of the year you are here these all rock. As we head into winter it’s the perfect time to pull out the beanie, grab your body warmer and hit the streets for some fresh air and meet some super cool people.

1. Breakfast at the Four Seasons on Market Street. We had the most incredible fresh breakfast here with great service. Yummo. Highly recommended. This is also a classic meeting point if you’re doing business. We had our PR and media meetings in the bar/restaurant area – it was totally central and a great base for our stay.

2. Yoga at Lululemon (inside the Westfield Centre on Market Street tucked up on the second floor in the corner this store rocks some amazing yoga classes for their community). Head in and see Nicole and her team and check out their notice board for classes, instructors and fun sessions of yoga and more.

3. Run around the Bay Area with the Golden Gate Bridge as your view. Take a tram down to the Bay Area Bridge and run around this incredible space that features it’s own colony of seals, a fantastic area for running, cycling or walking. Nicole from Urban Outfitters recommended the staircase on Clay – a pretty awesome workout for your cardio and your legs if you want to boost your metabolism and get an incredible view of the city.

4. Try indoor rock climbing while you are in the Bay Area at the uber cool and very fun. Planet Granite are situated by the Golden Gate Bridge. Not to mention it’s nearby one of my altime fav sports stores – Sports Basement. Mission cliffs has an amazing centre called Touchstone Climbing. See the links at the end of this post.

5. Head out for an incredible mountain bike ride or trail run in the Mill Valley, Marin County area. Actually one of my favourite places of all time. If you’re in doubt of where to ride or run head into see the guys at Studio Velo in the heart of Mill Valley. Scott and Terry do fantastic Sunday session rides, plus they can ensure you get on the right bike for your level and conditions. From complete newbie to pro’s.

Check out my posts from last year in San Fran and cycling around Mill Valley with the crew from Studio Velo.
Also newly opened Mt Tam Dog Co have an awesome trail walk/run that it dog friendly. YAY! Head in-store to this cute little dog boutique and get the low-down from Erin or Melissa on best trails for you and your 4-legged training buddy to go expl...

November 18, 2014 TVC 039: The Making Of Brookfarm
The Making Of Brookfarm. I loved interviewing Pam Brook, co-founder along with her husband Martin, of Australian brand Brookfarm on creating the life they want. Building a business from the ground up and their vision for continuing to provide a sustainable, delicious, healthy and unique products for consumers.
We talk about how company culture, self belief and old fashioned hard work builds success and longevitity.
Inspiring, engaging and full of energy Pam exudes passion and authenticity for her family brand. What makes building a business and following your dream so special – the journey along the way, the conviction for what you do and ensuring you have the right team around you.
Pam tries and tests all her products and listens to her friends and consumers on what they love – taking into account the ever increasing dietary restrictions and food allergies now so prevalent.
Part one of a three part series with Pam on building the business, work-life balance and conscious living.

I can’t wait to share more. I’ll also be posting the show notes on this later in the week and you can watch the full length interview on VitalityCoachTV

October 12, 2014 TVC 038: Creating the Life You Want

TVC 038: Creating the Life You Want With Mia Klitsas From Millie & More
Part of my Vitality Tour “Influencers Series” this episode features young entrepreneur Mia Klitsas from Moxie who started her business at 21 and has built a strong company expanding internationally 10 years later. Listen to my previous podcast with Mia about her brand Moxie Organics here
Mia and I chat about our top tips on creating the life you want, finding the sweet spot in work-life balance and the importance of giving back.
A lot of laughs and a few bloopers, I love interviewing positive and energetic souls like Mia who are always authentic and creating an amazing balance of bringing their vision to life and giving back.
Mia’s Pads For Pads initiative in Uganda has been growing each year and is becoming a story she is very proud of – when every one told her it was crazy and why bother, Mia went ahead and did it all anyway. True conviction, compassion and a sense of empathy for others are great traits in an entrepreneur.
Our Top tips include:

* Be prepared – from thinking ahead for healthy snacks and packing your running shoes for a short walk or run when traveling, to having a good business plan and thinking big
* Don’t listen to “nay-sayers”
* Follow your intuition
* Build a dream team and combine expert advice
* Spend time with friends and positive people
* Always find a way and time to give back – in the form of a community project or something bigger that requires some determination but with massive rewards
* Don’t forget that you can impact a few people in a positive way to make lasting change – and this creates a ripple effect
* Take moments out to do what you love
* You must PLAN balance, family, friends and your own time in your agenda or it will not happen
* BE TRUE TO YOU
* Have fun! If you are building a business or a vision and it’s not really making you happy then re-evaluate. It should not even be a question if you do what you love the rest will follow.

TVC 037: The Power Of Planning with Guest Owen Bowling
As part of my series on finding the sweet spot for work-life balance I talk to CEO of CrankIT Fitness, Owen Bowling, on creating new habits that allow for a busy life building a company and supporting a new family.
We chat about the 5 top tips to bring healthy living seamlessly into your life, throwing out old self beliefs and rules that no longer serve you and listening to your body to find exercise and routines you really love.
It all comes down to the power of planning and not leaving your week to chance. Business vitality means running a balanced life and knowing when to rest or mix up your routine to suit the circumstances.

What challenges do you face as an entrepreneur and how can they be addressed with a fresh perspective on fitting exercise and nourishing food into your day and your week for long term peak performance?
We discuss all these elements on my podcast and hope you can take away some inspiration and practical tools to apply in your busy daily life.

September 30, 2014 TVC 036: Abundance Why Health Is Your Wealth
TVC 036: Abundance – Why Health Is Your Wealth
One of the key ingredients of success and living your personal best is actually making sure that you have the best personal health to go with it. So how so we measure our healthy living balance sheet?
I measure health with my Vitality Bank(TM) and I can’t wait to share this concept with you on this weeks podcast!
For most people feeling great is taken for granted and it’s not until you’ve really lost your health it that you realise how precious it actually is.
I want to bring the focus back to feeling fantastic to see how well the rest of your life can excel as well. How health is really our wealth and can create a platform of abundance in all areas of life.
And it’s not about strict diets, it’s not about going to gyms every day, it’s about treating your body to fresh food and ingredients that you really enjoy and love and also treating yourself to exercise and activities that you look forward to doing. So finding things that make your heart sing.
Click Here to download the show notes & my Vitality Bank(TM) worksheet
I’m really excited to say that the Vitality Bank(TM) will be a big part of my program going forward. It’s certainly a big part of my Corporate Vitality program. The new 2015 key programs and workshops will be live soon. For enquiries click here

September 21, 2014 TVC 035: Moxie Organics
TVC 035: Moxie Organics
In this episode I chat about a topic that usually stays under cover – Moxie Organics founder Mia Klitsas and I talk pads for pads, being an informed consumer and why as women, we should be more educated about what feminine hygiene products are on the market.
Sorry guys – this may not be the podcast for you this week but I felt it was a crucial topic to discuss, clarify and bring to life with a fresh perspective.
Mia started this business when she was 21 and has been on a mission ever since to provide a quality product with a touch of fun and sophistication – using recycled products in their packaging, re-usable fun tins for your handbag and also the new organics range.
We de-bunk scare tactics and a get a different view at why you can have fun and be feminine even when choosing products that have to go in your shopping cart every month and for some be hidden away. Moxie have made an effort in all they do to provide great communications, information on what you need to know about topics you don’t want to discuss and products that will make you proud to purchase – be sustainable and make a difference.
I’m always thrilled to meet and connect with entrepreneurs that put their personal values into their brand. Mia tells us why she’s worked hard to create products we can trust and proved the nay-sayers wrong by setting up an incredible initiative for teenage girls in Uganda. This is a great example of how one person can change the lives of many!
Yep! I’d love your comments and you can check out Mia, Millie & More and the new organics range on MOXIE
Don’t forget I read out the iTunes and reviews you leave – so if you’d like to be featured then pop on and leave a review and I’ll read it out in future podcasts. Subscribe for FREE below on the iTunes subscribe button. Cannot wait to actually meet some of my US listeners when I touch down on the West Coast this December for the Vitality Tour kick off. Sign up on my home page side bar or send me a comment below to be on the VIP list.
Mia and I are teaming up on some new projects as well that combine an energy for healthy living, inspiration and giving back! Can’t wait to share more. Stay tuned as I chat to Mia as well on how she manages the work life balance and stays healthy while running an international business and growing her empire. Coming up in episode 38.
