873. How To Become An Asset In Every Opportunity

Chris and I were reflecting on how we keep investing in these amazing opportunities, and we realized that there are three key things that are helping us make that happen. We’re at a place now where we can recognize a money-making opportunity when we see it, we both have something strategic to offer, and we’re planting seeds to get connected with businesses that are within our zone of genius. We choose to look at everything as an opportunity to increase our wealth and capitalize on our skills. Listen in to learn more about how you can do the same.

872. Intermittent Fasting 101 With Cynthia Thurlow

I’ve been practicing intermittent fasting for the past seven years and it’s been one of the biggest game changers for me. I’m joined by nurse practitioner and intermittent fasting expert Cynthia Thurlow, and we get into how this method helps you maintain your energy, indulge in fewer cravings, and lower your blood glucose levels. Cynthia shares what inspired her to write her book, Intermittent Fasting Transformation, and how she found calmness in the chaos of her life in order to hit her deadline. We touch on intuitive eating, how the menstrual cycle comes into play with intermittent fasting, and where Cynthia recommends people start if they’re curious about trying this method out.

871. Where To Hunt For More Energy

A lot of people say that time is the most valuable commodity, but I actually think that energy is more important. If you’ve been feeling like the days are dragging and you’re totally depleted, I have some areas of your life where you can evaluate how you’re using your energy. I talk about the difference between people who are sprinters vs. marathoners when it comes to getting work done, why I think it’s important to reminage what ‘9-to-5’ looks like for you, and how to make sure you’re working in your zone of genius. Listen in for some simple ways to replenish your energy and get back on track!
