People don’t talk about this enough: your evening routine is JUST as important as your morning routine. (There, we said it!)

The last 90 minutes before bed is a sacred time for us, and we’re breaking it down today’s episode. Each element of our evening routine (sticking to our schedule, reviewing the next day as a family, prioritizing self care, and setting ourselves up for sleep success) are crucial for us to relax, unwind, and start the next day off on the right foot.

If you’re hoping to create an evening routine that you can actually stick to, this episode is for you. Click PLAY now to dive in!

What’s a non-negotiable in YOUR evening routine? We’d love to hear about it! Join the conversation on Instagram @trustissuespodcast and let us know.

Want to eat more, do less, and hit the gym in a way that carries through to all aspects of your life?

If you ask us, we’d tell you: you can achieve all of this and more with strength training!

Strength training is a great way to kickstart your metabolism, create a healthy hormone profile, burn calories, and build muscle. Additionally, it helps to reduce cortisol levels, improve posture, reduce the risk of injury, and increase bone density. Win-win-win!

In this episode, our guest (and Erika’s personal trainer) Andrea Manzone dives deep into the importance of strength training and how it can help with fat loss and metabolism, as opposed to simply weight loss. She explains that nutrition is key and even offers advice on how to overcome the obstacles of mainstream media when it comes to achieving your health and fitness goals.

Click PLAY on this conversation with Andrea and you’ll be eager to hit the gym in no time. And if you love Andrea as much as we do, follow her on Instagram and apply to work with her today!

Picture this: you’ve known for weeks, months, perhaps even years or decades that you should prioritize your health and fitness. You’ve started countless diets, workout plans, and paid for months and months of unused gym memberships to no avail.

Working out is for other people… not you, despite what the number is on the scale. Right?

If this sounds like you, you’re not alone.

National data from the 2017-2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey concluded that nationally, 41.9 percent of adults have obesity, and that number is only getting larger every year.

But this doesn’t have to be you!

Moving your body is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. Not only does it help to improve physical health, but it also has a positive impact on mental health. When you move your body, you are creating a sense of well-being and an improved sense of self.

For us, fitness is not about punishing ourselves for bad eating habits, but rather about finding joy and discovering the limits of our bodies. So if you’re ready to start exercising (and stick to it once and for all), click PLAY on this episode of Trust Issues where we’ll cover our best fitness tips for beginners!

Drake said it best: “Started from the bottom, now we’re here."

For the last decade since graduating from college in 2012, we have been building the life we’ve always dreamed of, and we want to share the business and life lessons we’ve learned along the way.

Throughout this time, our entrepreneurial journeys have always been intertwined. There is no “Erika’s journey” and “Kyle’s journey”... we were truly starting businesses and making it work together.

Of course, we all have many different seasons and chapters in our lives, and not all of them will be picture-perfect. In this episode, we’re happy to break down each of the chapters of our entrepreneurial journeys to share how we got to where we are today!

Click PLAY on this episode to hear about our entrepreneurial journeys, and how in our early 30’s we have already broken away from the traditional 9-5 and are creating generational wealth for our family.

Welcome to the FIRST episode of the Trust Issues Podcast with us: Erika and Kyle Auckland! We have been dreaming of hosting this podcast together for almost 5 years because we are dedicated to having purposeful conversations with each other and leading experts about everything from health, wealth, relationships, entrepreneurship, and mindset to help you make the best decisions for you and your family.

In this episode, you’ll get to know us as we share our story and the lessons we learned along the way. Because after years of doing the hard work in every aspect of our lives, we realized that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to success. Society tells us to go to school, get a degree, and then you will achieve success… but we think there’s a better way.

In order to forge your own path–whether that be in your relationship, career, how you raise your children, where you live, or how you spend your time–it requires you to learn all of the lessons we discuss in this episode. Luckily, the Trust Issues Podcast is our way of saying, “We learned these lessons the hard way… now you can take them for free.”
