When I tell you these two are going to change the world, I’m not even close to exaggerating.

I’m so happy to bring this conversation to you today to share what Sarah and Kayla are doing in the NA beverage space. They have created a business that is providing a solution to a problem not only for themselves but also for others who are living sober, sober-curious, or want to drink more mindfully.

They are the duo behind SipSteady which is a first-of-its-kind marketing/pr and events agency dedicated exclusively to the N/A beverage industry.

Move over, NA beers. There are way more choices these days for a celebratory cocktail that brings all the good (i.e. healthy) vibes with none of the hangover and Sarah and Kayla are determined to bring them to store shelves, bars, and entertainment venues near you very, very soon!

Today, I'm sharing some insights from a book that I cannot recommend enough. Last week, my guest, Chrissy Powers, and I talked a lot about embodiment work and why it's so important.

This book by Hillary McBride PhD is its own version of therapy. In this episode, I share some of the most important takeaways as well as some stories of my own disembodiment, which you may recognize in your own life as well.

This is one of those books you'll want to have handy to remind yourself that you CAN heal, you CAN feel connected to yourself, and you CAN feel fully alive whenever you choose to.

Do you have a life plan for the next phase of your life? If not, my guest today shares her own story about what led her to create hers and, hopefully, inspire you to do the same. We had such a great conversation that I divided it up into two episodes so you wouldn’t miss a thing.

Whether you’re in early motherhood or almost an empty nester, there is much you can glean from Jennifer. I think you’re going to enjoy hearing about the experiences that led her to where she is now and how she can help us all not leave ANY parts of our life to chance.

If you’re like me, you’ve been led to believe that drinking eight-plus glasses of water means you are properly hydrated but it’s not that simple or accurate.

Today, I’m sharing some health issues you may not have associated with dehydration and what you need to make sure you include in your diet to ensure the water you drink actually does your body good.

Where does our energy come from? And, no, I'm not talking about the jolt of energy you get from your morning coffee.

I'm talking about the energy that comes from within, our life force. I'm reading a fascinating book right now that discusses energy in detail and how it can either drain us or fuel us, physically and mentally.

In this episode, I share what energy I’m talking about, what chakras are, where they are in the body, the physical, mental, and emotional components that are associated with each.

I also share some personal examples of where I'm stuck and why I'm paying attention to my energy centers to help me heal.

Hope this can help you, too!

If you’ve been a habitual dieter, a calorie counter, or dedicated to macros, you must listen to this episode with guest, Sarah Adler. She’s a nutrition coach, healthy lifestyle and wellness expert, bestselling cookbook author, and now podcaster who has been where many of us are/were.

She shares her own personal struggles with food, her culturally misguided beliefs about healthy was and wasn't, what opened her eyes to what true health is, and how she released the grip food had on her life once and for all.

We also talk about how her love for nutrition started and how it turned into a passion-filled career to help others discover real health as well.

This is a different episode than most but this has been a different week. I can’t not talk about it and I didn’t feel right about sharing my regularly scheduled content.

I will do my best to keep you informed on how we can do it once and for all. Our children, our families, and the quality of our lives require action. And it will take all of us.

Thank you for listening.

Today, I’m talking about personal growth and how it’s a never-ending process. Or why it should be.

I’ve been reading a book about ageism and beliefs around getting older which opened my eyes to why maybe some of us stop evolving and growing.

Whether you’re 23 or 83, I think the path of personal development is always the right path. It’s never led me astray so I hope you listen to this episode and find yourself taking steps forward again.
