In the last email we talked about our relationship with food. So, when was the last time you were adventorous with your food? Have you really paid attention to what food brings your body joy and what causes it to be sluggish?

In the latest episode of Choose to Live, Love & Grow, Kate Galli and I talk about what it is like being on a plant-based diet. When you want to eat a certain way, it can be difficult to maintain that in social settings or dining out. People want you to eat or drink like them and may not be as accepting of your decisions.

But, just like most changes in our life, there is a way to approach the situtation with love and empathy where you can stay true to who you are and what you believe and still have a good time with friends and family.

One amazing piece of information Kate gave us is how to handle overwhelm:

Only focus on what you can control
Value the small wins
Eliminate unnecessary inputs
Respect structure is freedom
Willingness to upgrade freedom structure
Have awareness to catch a sip
Escape to nature daily
Lock and load the big rocks first
Mindfulness

Hey {{first_name}}, I'll be straight with you — there's no podcast episode this week. I got sick. Not "push through it" sick. The kind where your body just puts up a hand and says sit down. So I sat down. But honestly, being sick wasn't the whole story. I also underestimated how much goes into producing an episode the right way. From the editing, the clips, to making sure the content actually l...

It's Live! Here's The Link.

Hey {{first_name}}, It's live. The Choose to Live, Love and Grow podcast is back with its first new episode in almost a year. In this episode I share the full story: why I went quiet, what happened during that season, what it cost me, and what it built. I also talk about The Forge, the FINDORA framework, and where this show is going from here. It's less than 20 minutes. It's one of the most h...

It Comes Back Tomorrow

Hey {{first_name}}, After almost a year of silence — the podcast comes back tomorrow. I'm not going to say much about it today. I want you to hear it first. What I will tell you is this: The comeback episode is the most honest thing I've recorded. I tell the full story of where I've been, what happened, what it cost, and what it built. I talk about why I went quiet. And I talk about where this ...
