Welcome back to The Simplicity Sessions, I'm delighted that you've joined us today. My name is Jenn Pike, your host, registered holistic nutritionist, medical exercise specialist, the best-selling author of the Simplicity Project and the creator of the women's revolutionary health program, The Hormone Project.

Today, I am speaking to you while hiking through new trails that I discovered in Kelowna. Walking has been my way of self care over the past 18 months. It allows me to fulfill my movement goals and it allows me to think (and speak) to myself. Lately, my thoughts have been about "what I want" and more specifically "what I don't want."

I find that after anything I do that is successful, such as launching a program, coaching programs, or anything else in that area of my life, I end up searching for what I should do next instead of celebrating the success I just had. These days, I think of why I am always searching for the next big thing.

I speak every day to women in my practice that are feeling the same way. They think that they have searched out the next big thing but never end up being satisfied when they achieve a specific goal.

I am here to tell you that you don't always have to search for more. I am here to show you how to find out what you want and don't want.

If you have a question for me and my team, send it over to [email protected] or via Instagram at @jennpike and I'll do my best to share helpful insights, thoughts and advice.

Here are the main topics of today's episode:

• It's easy to fall into the trap of the next big thing
• Making decisions during your cycle
• Observations during the pandemic
• Always feeling the need to strive for more
• The realization that I don't need more
• My three vehicles that allow me to speak
• Create room for yourself in your life
• The exercise that will help you decide what you want and don't want

Quotes -

• " ...you are running the business and that can be a slippery slope because it's very easy to get caught up in what other people are doing, what other people are saying are a must have, and then putting yourself into that position of filling up your calendar or weighing down your schedule…"
• "So if I want to show up to the event. If I want to speak at something. If I want to host the party. If I want to do the conference, then I am only going to be able to do that during this week and a half to two week period of time when I know I'm going to be at my best."
• "...then there's the other side there are the women that for so long stayed quiet. They worried so much about what everyone said and now they're like these quiet little cubs that have turned into these roaring lionesses that have so much power and they are standing in their power."
• "Why is it always the question of what's next now? What are you doing? What's happened? And I was starting to feel myself become suffocated by this; by other colleagues; by business mentors, by my coach, even by family."
• "I am done with the feeling, the desire, and this pulse in my body that I have to. I do not have to create anymore. I do not have to become any more successful than I am."
