When you're overextended, overscheduled or overtired over a long period of time, those things you know are good for you are often under-prioritized. And when that happens, the concept of self-care can turn into a weakness or even a problem.

Therefore coming back to self-care can be very challenging, making life feel much harder. And whatever is challenging today is going to get more challenging in the future.

In this episode I share what it takes to work through challenges so you can climb that selfcare ladder to give you the best future and feel the best today

As you become older, your knee joints causing pain and discomfort will only increase. Often, this is a result of the natural wear and tear of the cartilage between your knees causing it to wear away, decreasing the protective space between your bones. However, many other factors can lead to the chronic pain and stiffness that prompts knee surgery, including overuse, an injury, a sedentary life, a poor diet or even bad night's sleep.

Luckily, holistic approaches exist to increase your mobility, reduce pain and swelling, and build your knee strength. In many cases patients who opt for natural solutions can avoid knee surgery entirely or significantly delay it.

The key is to move with confidence. Most people think that moving joints further damages their knees. This concept is wrong. By moving your joints, you are lubricating them and making them healthier.

In this episode I share tips to get rid of pain and help you get back into the shape of your life physically and mentally.

In this episode, I talk about:

• The impacts of knee pain on your life: (00:23)
• Confidence to get back on the right track: (00:53)
• The side effects from NOT moving: (04:02)
• Sedentary lifestyle vs. recreational running: (05:00)
• Other causes of knee pain: (06:03)
• The Wescombe as an effective holistic approach: (06:37)

Menopause is a natural biological process all women experience. Many people are familiar with some of the physical symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats, but there are many emotional symptoms that occur as well. These symptoms can disrupt your life by affecting your ability to get a good night's sleep, lowering your energy levels and even causing feelings of depression and anxiety.

It is easier to deal with something that you have some understanding of. Emotional symptoms are caused when the hormones that normally regulate mood and emotions are out of balance. Swing moods can be frequent, extreme, and easily triggered making you feel as if things are not quite right. Some women experience them and others don't.

When you are healthy, you are more resilient to face and understand this natural process of your body.

In this episode I share six effective tips to help you minimize the symptoms and feel at your best during this natural yet confusing period of your life.

In this episode, I talk about:

• Taking control over menopause symptoms: (00:17)
• Lifestyle tip 1 / Prioritize quality nutrition: (01:39)
• Lifestyle tip 2 / Minimize alcohol: (03:03)
• Lifestyle tip 3 / Commit to an exercise routine that you love: (03:43)

With a newborn, your family life enters a new era, where family dynamics undergo tremendous changes. These affect you, your partner, and any other members of the family living with you. Your family members must prepare to face radical transformations and challenges that accompany the arrival of the new loved one.

Parents who choose to breastfeed may experience changes to their sleep. Sleep deprivation, or not getting sufficient sleep, extracts a toll on all of us in terms of mood, health, safety, and even longevity in all of us.

I have two kids in the house and a newborn.

Self-care during these weeks is very important. Settle sleep, modulate movement and filter food are key to taking your self-care to be a strength or a superpower. Once you are in that zone, you will be able to support your loved ones and manage your business successfully.

In this special episode, my daughter shares what it is like to be a big sister for the second time and I share tips to get into that zone where everything falls into place.

In this episode, I talk about:

• Welcome Sasha to the podcast: (00:22)
• What is it like being a big sister for the second time:(00:56)
• Selfcare tips for parents with newborns and a business: (03:21)

A lifestyle with a lot of sitting and little to no exercise is bad for your health. It affects your body and you can have health risks. By not getting regular exercise, you gain weight, your immune system may not work as well, you raise your risk of diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure amongst more. The more sedentary you are, the higher your health risks are.

You can change your lifestyle. You can jump from a sedentary life to a place where your health is a strength or a superpower.

In this episode I share the key core ingredient to losing weight and gaining an ideal weight for a healthy long life.

I suggest creating and maintaining a new body image for yourself. It starts with one step, visualizing how you want to feel and act in your new body. It is important you keep that in your mind and repeat it over and over again so it becomes part of your unconscious identity. This avoids you from falling back into the "yo-yo cycle" and gaining weight again. Thinking everyday of that new version of yourself is going to be your set point of a thermostat that you always can come back to.

Where your mind goes, action flows. To live a positive life you need to change that self image

In this episode, I talk about:

• Talking about the key core ingredient to lose weight for life: (00:17)
• Consequences from my innactive lifestyle as a teen ager: (00:47)
• My jump from selfcare as a weakness to a strength: (02:46)
• The importance of creating a new body image: (04:43)
• How to maintain a positive visualization of yourself: (06:13)
• Today's takeaway: (08:22)

In this episode I recommend three books that have impacted my life, and I am sure they will help yours as well. As soon as you start reading these books, they will sharpen your beliefs and will help you think better, feel better, and do better.

When you read, you develop feelings and thoughts. It fires up your imagination and stimulates the memory centers of your mind while keeping it active. Books can hold and keep all kinds of information, stories, thoughts and feelings unlike anything else in this world. The importance of reading as a repeated habit, is that it BOLSTERS YOUR BELIEFS.

Greater happiness and peace of mind will help you keep you on your self care track to become the better version of yourself.
