Hey, hey, Squad fam! Welcome back! 

We've got another awesome episode lined up for you. Today, I had the pleasure of sitting down with the one and only Denise Lee, the CEO and founder behind Alala, a global brand that's rocking the fashion world with its modern style.

Denise is here to share what it really takes to build your own brand and trust me, it's not just about fancy clothes!

Here's a little sneak peek of the wisdom she's dropping:

• Surround yourself with people who cheer you on.! Denise dives into on how having someone close who's all about your ideas and creativity can be a game-changer. Supportive peeps can be your secret sauce to achieving whatever you're dreaming of.

• Celebrate the small wins! It's not just about popping champagne for the big milestones. Denise reminds us to savor those little victories, to live in the moment, and soak it all in.

• Building a personal brand! Denise gives her insight on whether you should also focus on growing a personal brand and how to use it as a way to connect to your squad. 

So, if you're ready for a dose of inspiration and some real talk about brand-building, you're in the right place. Grab those headphones, kick back, and let's dive into it!:

Welcome back to The Squad Podcast!

Hey there, folks! Today, I had a fantastic chat with the one and only Lori Levine. She's not just the co-founder and CEO of Scott's Protein Balls, but also a total champion of healthy living and breast cancer survivor.

Lori's wellness journey kicked into high gear when she faced breast cancer head-on back in 2017. But here's the kicker – she couldn't find snacks that were both delicious and truly healthy, so she and her husband decided to whip up their own solution: Scott's Protein Balls.

In our chat, we dive deep into the world of healthy snacks, and Lori spills the beans on some awesome entrepreneurial wisdom.

Here's a sneak peek of what you'll hear:

• Life can be a bit of a wild ride, right? Lori dishes on how trying to control everything can drive you nuts. Sometimes, realizing you're not in control is the ultimate game-changer, helping you focus on what you can actually steer in the right direction.
• Self-care is a hot topic, and Lori nails it. She reminds us that giving back to yourself, even when life gets crazy, is vital. Trust us; it's not always easy, but it's worth it.
• Ever waited for the "perfect moment" to take the plunge? Lori's got some real talk for you. There might never be a "right time" for anything. Sometimes, you just gotta follow your gut and take that leap of faith into whatever adventure you've got cooking.

So, if you're ready for a chat filled with wisdom, laughs, and the scoop on healthy snacking, you're in for a treat. Tune in and enjoy! 🎙️👏

In today's episode, we are talking with fitness expert and pre/postnatal specialist Erika Shannon -  about exercising postpartum. We plan for pregnancy, we plan for labor, but once we enter postpartum it can feel like a black hole - especially when it comes to working out again.

So if you   . . . 

• Are wondering what exercises you should and should not do postpartum
• Have or think you have diastasis recti and are not sure how to heal
• Want to focus on strengthening your pelvic floor
• Looking to feel supported and connected

This episode is for you! Also listen in to learn why it's never too late to start postpartum recovery and how to own your journey

In this episode, I talk about the importance of slowing down so you can eventually speed up, more info on my break, and when I will be back! 

Here are some tips for you:

1. [3:42] By slowing down, you’re able to speed up and create more opportunities for yourself
2. [5:01] Slowing down gives you space, creates energy, creates opportunities, and overall allows you to go after your much bigger goals; when you’re just in the mindset of going and doing, you miss all of that
3. [8:52] When you’re just going through the motions, you’re doing exactly that; you’re just going through the motions, you’re not having that why to power you

In this episode of Life After Cheer, I speak with Joella Hopkins, vice president for Group Fitness for EOS Fitness. Joelle and I talk about the business side of fitness, and we dive into just how you can be the best leader and instructor that you can be.

Here are some tips for you:

1. [9:57] Go for it - if it doesn’t work out, then it doesn’t work out, but then you’ll at least have no regrets that you gave it a go.
2. [19:20] It’s about inclusivity, making everybody feel welcome.
3. [23:27] One of the things we coach and train our instructors on is showing modifications, options, and choices; this way, everyone can get the workout that’s right for them.
