I was all psyched to hear about bone broth.  I was believing all the hype until I did the research.  There were an equal number of articles that said it cures everything and is absolutely nothing but tasty soup.  So I went to my nutrition resource, Monica Reinagel, for guidance, and she did not disappoint.  Come listen.

  • What it does and doesn't do for a body

Here's a question for you, what are your goals at this very minute?  What are you working on to make your personal and/or professional life better?  If you don't have an answer readily available then this episode is going to be perfect for you.

I have talked about goal setting before; but I have never talked about why so many people avoid it.  You would think that with all the benefits that goal setting brings, everyone would be working towards something.

The truth is, they aren't.  Today I talk about why that is and how you can make sure you are on board with creating goals for yourself.

• 7 Reasons why you should be setting goals
  • How to set goals that are perfect for you.
• How instant gratification plays into goal setting

I have been reading a great book about personal finance by T. Harv Eker.  It's called The Secrets of the Millionaire Mind.  In it it talks about different ways to think about money.  Specifically, it talks about making sure that you are giving to charity, regardless of how much money you have.  The belief is, and I fully embrace it, that when you are free with your money, the Universe recognizes that and links you to abundance.

Today I want to read and article that talks about ways to give to Charity when money is tight.

• Five different charities that operate on things instead of Money
• How minimalism can benefit charity
• How you can surf the web and give to charity

I am a voracious reader, but I am also an avid movie goer too.  And while I always enjoy a good super hero movie, I am more excited when I come out of a movie a better person than when I went in.  Such is the case of the five movies on my list for today's show.  Despite the fact there have been many phenomenal movies that I have seen, the five I have selected for today, moved me in a profound way.  Some are older and some are obscure.  Either way, you will be better for watching them.
