41. The mindset you need to get excited about your fitness routine

41. The mindset you need to get excited about your fitness routine

Most people think of exercising as a chore- Just another thing added to your to do list stacked on top of 20 things that you already don’t have enough time in the day to get done.

I have a different perspective given that fitness has been a major part of my routine for the last 12 years. In fact, it’s the center of my grounding routine as the quality and effort that I give during my workouts determines the quality and effort I give to every other area of my life.

I truly don’t believe movement is something you have to dread. Actually, quite the opposite. I’ve found the easiest way to stick to self-discipline is to trick yourself into enjoying the activity, at least for a little while until you genuinely find yourself looking forward to intentionally moving your body each week. This episode will teach you how.

39. Mindful + productive ways to spend your free time (not what you think)

You might be thinking today’s episode will include a laundry list of ways to junk up your free time with mile-long to-do lists and unrealistic expectations of how productivity in your limited time spent not working.

But you’ll be pleasantly surprised to hear my perspective on how doing nothing / traditional “time-wasters” can actually be a blessing in disguise if you’re doing what you love!

And if you are genuinely looking for better ways to spend free time to avoid the endless Tiktok doom scroll, there’s also a handful of practical tools for you.

Today’s episode is about releasing the guilt of “being lazy” and enjoying the practice of just existing, a lost art that we need a reminder of every once in awhile.

38. Author + Speaker Alexa Glazer on releasing control, practicing mindfulness, and navigating judgmental thoughts

38. Author + Speaker Alexa Glazer on releasing control, practicing mindfulness, and navigating judgmental thoughts

Today I’m sitting down with my girl Alexa whom I met last year after reading her first published book. I saw that she was a Cleveland local, and was enticed by the title. As soon as I cracked it open on the plane ride to vacation last October, I immediately had a lump in my throat as it led off with her experience of unexpectedly losing her father at a young age.

Alexa is a healer, speaker, and author. She is Cleveland-made but adventure-grown. A full-time feeler, powered by love and hugs. A grief advocate and the stranger who will be your best friend in 30 seconds. She is the author of the book Your Permission Slip: To Self-Acceptance, Forgiveness, and Letting Go and her first book Livin’ the dream … today because tomorrow is not promised and the host of the forthcoming podcast me / you  / us / we.

33. A lesson from the Universe when you feel like you’ve been thrown off course

In this week’s podcast episode, I’m sharing a current challenge the Universe has placed in my life that seemingly (on the surface) makes absolutely no sense. However, while the situation itself might not matter in the long run, the Universe is giving us a chance to prove that we are who we keep saying we want to be, such as having more patience, being less judgmental, etc.

32. 6 ways to manifest a life of abundance PART 2

32. 6 ways to manifest a life of abundance PART 2

I was hesitant to record this because, looking at my own life, I’m still learning how to ‘manifest my dream life.’ And while I don’t have it all figured out quite yet, when I stop and look around, my life is FULL of abundance: In love, connections, laughter, presence, and happiness. While the imposter syndrome crept up telling me I’m a fraud for sharing this woo-woo topic, I followed my intuition to share today’s message about what really defines a beautiful life and how I’ve managed to create one that I’m extremely proud of while on the way to achieving my big goals.

Enjoy! Xo
