What does the word “worry” mean to you? In times of uncertainty, we spend our days worried about what might happen in the future, which is usually negative. Today, we’re tackling ways we combat the crippling effects of worrying in hopes to live a happier, healthier life. By focusing on our faith instead of fear, we can stand firm into the idea that this too shall pass. Worrying about it won’t change the future, but ask yourself this question: are you allowing it to change your present?

We’ve changed + chances are you’ve changed, too. The people that will come out of this will not be the same as the people that went into this. In today’s episode, we’re discussing what we defined as “normal” pre-COVID19 + what we predict our version of “the new normal” will be in the future. This is new for us all, but our hope is that you come out of this hard season with a kind + grateful heart. Ask yourself this question: do you now notice + appreciate the things you once took for granted

This time you’ve been given is a gift. Ask yourself this question: are you spending your time in quarantine wisely?

Maybe you’re like us + are doing some Spring Cleaning in your home, but have you ever taken the time to do “Emotional” Spring Cleaning?

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! What does GREEN mean to you? For us, it means life, renewal, GROWTH.

We’re narrowing it down to 3 things that we’re experiencing in real-time, which all happen to begin with “un”! Our hope is that it encourages you to see this crisis through a different lens.

Are you still dwelling about what happened or constantly thinking about what might happen? So many of us are giving pieces of ourselves to either our past or our future, but what’s left for the present? In this episode, we’re discussing the importance of being fully present in each moment without constantly being distracted with the other time zones of our lives that’s really out of our control. Ask yourself this question: how can we devote our whole selves to what’s actually happening RIGHT NOW?

Imagine if someone decided to make a movie about your life. What would it include? How open + honest would you be about telling your life story? More importantly, would you listen to the critics + edit your movie to please them? In this episode, we’re talking about everything from how we deal with critics to all the documentaries/movies that we somehow relate to. It’s time we OWN our stories! Ask yourself this question: if you could direct your own documentary, what would it include + how would it end?

Are you living a life that you truly LOVE? This is a question that we’re constantly asking ourselves + for some of us, the answer is “no”. If this is you, just know you’re not alone. As we finish off this series of LOVE, we encourage you to take on 3 challenges that help you choose joy, eliminate what robs you of joy + start enjoying life while moving your body. It’s time to fall back in LOVE with your life! Ask yourself this question: what can you implement into your life that brings YOU joy?

It’s time to LOVE your body for all that it’s capable of! Even if you feel like the wheels have fallen off. As we continue our conversation of LOVE this month, we understand how important it is to treat our bodies well. In this episode, we discuss how to love your body through obstacles, ways to sustain yourself in your journey + why you need to celebrate YOU along the way. We hope it encourages you to accept your body today, appreciate your body tomorrow + love your body always — no matter what size.
