  • Reclaim Your Energy by Taking the Right Energy Inventory - Mini Episode

    Your energy can easily be depleted by people or activities without you even realizing it. Reclaim your energy with these easy steps.

    It's important to bring awareness to activities and people that give and take away your energy. I want to share with you how to take the right Energy Inventory for your life.

    Why is Energy Inventory important?

    • When we feel tired or lack energy, we start making poor choices.
    • If we feel uplifted and positive, we make better decisions in every area of our lives
    • Do you find yourself saying Yes to everything? 
    • Maybe you don't want to disappoint others or maybe you feel like you need to "do it all."
    • If you are feeling stressed, overwhelmed, approaching burnout, it's time to take an energy inventory!

    Listen to learn HOW to take the right inventory.

  • Master Your Mind with Intention Setting in 3 Simple Steps - Mini Episode

    Your mind directly impacts the quality of your life. Mastering your mind is a continual work in progress, but is so important.

    Your beliefs create thoughts. Thoughts create feelings. Feelings create actions and habits. Your habits create your life, your experience.

    Why become the master of your mind?

    Simply put, your thoughts create your life.

    You may be physically healthy in the "doing" of all the right things, but mentally, if you do not practice self-compassion, you create your own internal suffering.

    What's more is our nervous system becomes addicted to those feelings of worrying, complaining, and overwhelm.

    Listen to learn 3 simple steps to mastering your mind.

  • Powerful Reasons to Breathe Better and How to Do It - Mini Episode

    Taking a breath seems simple enough, yet many of us don't breathe optimally and it significantly impacts the quality of our life.

    As humans, we cannot live without oxygen (or water).  Yet, most of us don't breathe correctly.
    We take short, shallow breaths into our chest.

    Suboptimal breathing can detrimentally impact our health, from allergies to sleep apnea to cardiac conditions.

    After reading Breath, by James Nestor, I realized I could improve my endurance performance (and my chronic stuffy nose!) simply by my adjusting my breath.

    Listen to learn the benefits of breathing optimally, what can happen if you don't breathe well, and how to improve your breathing.
