Today we're talking about mindfulness. If you're anything like us, the thought of being mindful used to be very overwhelming. The idea of being mindful in everyday life can make us feel like we must be perfect to be doing it "correctly."

Thankfully, practicing mindfulness can be much simpler than we think and doesn't require even the slightest bit of perfection. Mindfulness can look like many things, including taking a few deep breaths first thing in the morning, walking your dog outside, or even brushing your teeth on your deck (Maggi can't be the only one who does this!?).

We hope today's episode gives you some ideas and tips to implement mindfulness into your everyday life with ease. If you found this episode valuable please share it with a friend. We are so grateful for you helping our show grow!

Love,

In today's episode of TheMegAndMaggiPodcast we are talking about something everyone wants more of... sleep! But maybe what we need isn't necessarily more sleep but better sleep.

Both of us have struggled tremendously with sleeping well in the past and have come to similar conclusions about getting the best night of sleep. Today we're giving you all of the tips we use to sleep well night after night.

As usual, our tips and suggestions for getting a good night of sleep are incredibly simple and you can begin implementing them today. We often think we need to completely overhaul our lives in order to see results, but just addressing one or two things could be all you need to see the results you are looking for.

We are so happy you're here listening to TheMegAndMaggiPodcast. If you find this episode valuable, please share it with a friend! Sharing our show helps it grow and growth helps us impact more people just like you.

Have you ever struggled with your relationship with food? Most of us have in one way or another. Today's episode of TheMegAndMaggiPodcast is a full-length episode that you're definitely not going to want to miss.

Intuitive eating has become more popular as of late, but it wasn't so well-known when Meg began her journey away from restrictive dieting cycles. Today she goes into detail about her journey with food from childhood until now. This includes how her life revolved around her food choices for most of her life, what prompted her to seek out a new way of thinking about food, the journey of learning intuitive eating, all of the struggles that came along with it, and what her life looks like now. Two and a half years later, she finally feels that she has made it to a place of confidence and maintenance.

Summer Series, Episode 3: Welcome back to TheMegAndMaggiPodcast! This is the third episode out of four to be included in our Summer Series. The Summer Series consists of short episodes where we discuss summer-related overall wellness topics. 

Today's topic is always a favorite - food! Food is one of our favorite things to discuss here on the podcast and what we eat varies from season to season.

What we eat in the summer looks a lot different than the foods we eat in the winter. This is due to availability, cravings, changes in our daily schedules, what nourishes us best during each season, and more. 

Food plays a huge role in our health and it's important that we are conscious of our decisions. Does this mean we need to eat perfect, organic, sugar-free foods all of the time? Absolutely not. It means it's in our best interest to be aware of what we are eating and make food choices that best support us, both in this moment and long term.

We hope you enjoy listening to us discuss our favorite summer meals and would love to hear what yours are! Head over to @themegandmaggipodcast on Instagram and leave a comment with your favorite summer recipes on this episode's post.

Love,

Summer Series, Episode 2: Welcome back to TheMegAndMaggiPodcast! This is the second episode of four to be included in our Summer Series. This is a series of short episodes on summer-related overall wellness topics.

Today’s episode is all about outdoor movement and workouts. The summer is a fantastic time to be outside so why not get some vitamin D, time in nature, and physical movement at the same time!?

There are so many ways we can move our bodies. Sometimes we need unstructured movement with no expectations or pressure attached. Sometimes we want a structured, full-body workout to help us get stronger. It’s all about listening to our bodies to figure out what we need in the current season of our life and in the current moment.

In this episode, we discuss our favorite outdoor workouts, hacks to make them easier and more enjoyable, and the best way to get quick and effective strength training done outside with minimal equipment.

What are your favorite outdoor workout activities? Let us know on Instagram @themegandmaggipodcast.

Love,

Meg & Maggi

Summer Series, Episode 1: Welcome back to TheMegAndMaggiPodcast! This is the first episode of four to be included in our Summer Series. This is a series of short episodes on summer-related overall wellness topics.

Today we’re talking about our summer self-care routines - aka the main things we do to make sure we take care of ourselves during the summer. Our main activities include winning our morning, outdoor movement, sleep, morning structured exercise, and nutrition (surprise surprise!).

The summer looks different for everyone. Some of us have life speed up and some have life slow down. Today we’re talking about not only our most important self-care activities but how to become aware of how your life changes during the summer and what parts of your life need a little more attention.

Wellness isn’t one-size-fits-all and we’re well aware of that. You’ll see this through the different priorities each of us has and how they help us stay well in the best way we each can personally.

This week on TheMegAndMaggiPodcast we’re doing an all things physical health Q&A with Maggi!

Maggi is a health and fitness educator and coach who specializes in helping people shift their relationship with food and exercise to live a health-focused life, optimize their human performance, and accomplish anything they set their minds to.

We took some listener questions and really dove deep. The questions discussed are:

This episode gets a slightly different twist. We not only hear Meg & Maggi’s personal experiences with these questions but also get Maggi’s perspective as to how she would coach a client through these questions.

One main takeaway from this episode is that we really get to experience and enjoy life the most when we are in the gray area between two extremes.

It always seems like life will be easier if we just follow a really strict diet or never miss a day of exercise, but this isn’t how we are meant to live. Once we take the time to learn about healthy habits and listen to our bodies we can really optimize our health in the way that works best for us.

We’d love to hear your feedback and any topics you’d like to hear us discuss next! Please leave us a rating and/or review, or reach out to us on Instagram @themegandmaggipodcast.

Love,

Meg & Maggi

Do you ever feel like you don't have enough time in the day to get everything done? Do you feel like the world is happening around you while you're stuck in your head? 

We totally understand, and that's why today we're talking all about the concept of brain dumping. 

Brain dumping is when you take all of your thoughts, to-dos, fears, and anything you're thinking about and you write it all out to get it out of your brain. 

The idea of doing a brain dump sounds great but doesn't always solve the problem. Sometimes it can feel like all of those thoughts are now just out on paper and we feel even more overwhelmed than when we began. 

This is why Maggi created her own 5-step brain dumping, scheduling, and planning process to finally get those thoughts out of your brain and actually make them manageable.  Today we dive deep into this process, how and why it works, and how you can actually make brain dumping work for you. 

You will not only accomplish everything that needs to get done but also take care of yourself in the process (see step 3). 

If you'd like a copy of Maggi's Brain Dumping, Scheduling, and Planning worksheet, please send an email to [email protected] and we'll get it over to you. 

We hope you enjoy this episode and if you do please share it with a friend! Sharing our show really helps it grow. 

Thank you for listening - we appreciate you more than you'll ever know. Love,  Meg & Maggi

In today's episode of TheMegAndMaggiPodcast, we're discussing procrastination. Procrastination seems to be a natural part of life and because of that, how we think about it and how we think about ourselves is very important. Per usual Meg & Maggi fashion, we don't just talk about this one topic. Our conversation flows into other topics including the importance of having fun, how changing up your routine can help beat procrastination blues, and how guilt and shame usually aren't serving us.

If you enjoy this episode please share it with a friend and leave us a 5-star rating! We really appreciate each and every one of you and how you're helping our show grow.

Love,

Meg & Maggi
