With Good Energy

Part four of it's ok to not be ok. Thanks for showing up again. John and I had a solid debrief after that last episode. We know that a lot of people feel just as confused as we are around the world of social media and how it contributes to positivity in our life. But also to negative feelings such as anger, depression, separation, and division. Thank you for being here!

As we continue the It's ok to not be ok theme, I want to start this episode by thanking you all for listening and thanking you for contributing to the conversation. And thank you for making me feel seen, heard, and more understood. I didn't realize how much I needed to feel understood. And by opening up the conversation that we did last week, by saying it's ok not to be ok, and digging into my personal emotions and experiences right now. It opened up a lot of conversations. And what we're finding is that, in a lot of ways, the world is just not ok right now. And that's so visible on a grand scale. It's so visible when you turn on the news and what you see on social media. It's so apparent that the world is not ok right now.

We have a fantastic guest with us today, and she is going to be the first of a new series called independently inspired. I'll be bringing on a guest who inspires me. Kendra alley inspires me and not because we both went to Danvers high school. She is a mom of three boys, a virtual fitness and yoga teacher, and an entrepreneur. Her Instagram handle is @barrealley, also the name of her business. Kendra has a virtual fitness and yoga app and online platform. It's incredible. Kendra is a fitness and fashion icon. https://www.barrealley.com/

Enjoy this conversation!

I put something out on Instagram yesterday saying I just haven't been feeling okay. And Nicole wrote back and said this. "I don't have the circuit in my brain that equates self-care pedicures and haircuts and shopping and facials. To me, self-care is working out, hiking in the woods, yoga. It's about moving my body. I need it daily. It took me four years postpartum and the pandemic to see it again as a priority. I'm going on a full year of moving my body for me. It's my sanity. Have I lost weight? Not even a little; the scale hasn't budged at all. Do I still have a belly pooch and saggy skin? You betcha. But it's all about how I feel and how it makes me a better human, wife, Mama, friend, and colleague. I think I'd be in a straitjacket Otherwise."

Why am I so frustrated right now? Why am I at the end of my rope right now? Honestly, not too much has changed. There's not been a significant pullback that impacts our ability to run the business. I just care about this place so much. I care about the community that it serves. I care about the people who work here. I care what that paycheck means to them. I care what the class means to our clients. I care what I'm able to bring home to our family. The Energy Barre has an incredible impact on so many people. There is nothing I won't do for this place. But where the world seems to be saying like, buckle up.

Liz Morrison joins J today to go over nutrition and mindset.

School is about to start, maybe your husband is starting to travel again for work, sports are back, and you are concerned that you will put your health on the back burner. It's ok to feel stressed. No need to shame yourself with the stress.

Start here: Evaluate your circumstances, Take a look at where you're at right now! What's on your plate? How can you manage it?

Let us know what you think about this episode.

We are excited to have Lizzie Muse back on our show and look forward to having her on monthly. What can we expect in the atmosphere and what astrology is telling us?

Hey, everybody! Today we are going to talk about an old familiar topic, but with a different perspective. We're going to be talking about alcohol and the presence of alcohol in our life. More so, through our individual lens, our personal relationships with alcohol, what they look like now, and maybe how they've changed over the years.

We now have chickens and not everyone is in love with the idea. New insta page here @withgoodenergypodcast
