When you think about your body, what comes up for you? Ambivalence, love, disgust, shame? Words like strong, fat, lean, cellulite? What about when you think about your kids' bodies? What comes up for THEM when they think about their own bodies?

Our guest today is Megan Kniskern, and we are going deep into the impact of diet culture and generational beliefs that affect negative body image in yourself and how that impacts your kids. 

Megan has been working in the field of eating disorders and mental health since 2008 with a focus on nutrition therapy, group moderation, and incorporating a collaborative, firm and individualized approach to care. 

She serves clients in private practice and also is as a Senior Lecturer at Arizona State University where she teaches in the College of Health Solutions. In 2014, she developed an eating disorders and addictions graduate seminar course, the first of its kind at the University.

There is a power in connecting with other moms. You feel it when you are in a business meeting and find out another attendee has kids, too. You feel it at the park. You feel it on mom’s night out dates.  

Our guest today is the host of the On a Mother Level podcast, news anchor, and mom of two, Denise Hnytka. 

She is a firm believer than connecting and relating with other moms can be just as healing as any life hacks you can seek out. For Denise, being a Supermom means admitting you can have it all, but you might not get it all at the same time.

You know the feeling. You and overwhelmed. You are stressed. You are beginning to hate even the things you used to love. Everyone is pushing your buttons. Cynical. Exhausted.

Do you want to be more productive, have more flexible time, and hit big goals? I think most of us want this. We want to be smart with our time. We want to banish terrible time wasters. We want to feel like we are making strides forward. 

You might have heard me say this before but it bears repeating. 

“Productivity is not a recipe for busy, it is a recipe for freedom.”

The point is not to simply do more. The point is to do the right things better, smarter, and faster so you can have the freedom to do as you please. To take time for you. To reach a big goal. To relax. To enjoy. To thrive. 

To be more productive, to get more done in less time so you have the freedom we all crave, there are some clear strategies you can put in place. And there are also some mistakes that I bet you are making that are getting in your way.

When you fill your time with the things that deserve to be there, you can have it all. Do you fill your time with the things that deserve to be there? And how do you know?

Most of us live our days as if they are happening to us. We follow a schedule that feels out of our control. We make to-do lists that never get done. We have so much on our plates that we are often spinning instead of taking action. Do you know that feeling? I know I do. 

How can we stop this hamster wheel and actually put things on our calendars that deserve to be there?
