3 Life Lessons My Breastfeeding Friends Are Teaching Me

5 Lessons from a Weekend with Baby Mila

I just spent a weekend taking care of my niece and wanted to share 5 things I reflected on! 1. We pile our plates too full! What's thing we can spit out? 2. Change of scenery works wonders for our mindsets 3. Remember - what do you want MOST rather than what do you want NOW? 4. Movement is medicine! 5. Routines are EVERYTHING!

Low Effort/Low Cost Habits That Lead to High Fulfillment & Satisfaction

Today I'm talking about how we can use the concept of "Volume Eating" to inform the way we think about everything in our lives! When I first discovered volume eating, it opened up a whole new world for me! I was practicing the 2B Mindset by Ilana Muhlstein (link below) and realized that I didn't need to learn how to eat LESS, I just needed to learn how to eat SMARTER. The same way that a high volume/low calorie diet can lead to major fulfillment and satisfaction, there are low effort habits in every sphere of our lives that can lead to high fulfillment and satisfaction. In today's episode, I'm talking about 6 different spheres of life and giving examples of low-effort, low-cost (low-calorie) activities that can lead to high impact, high satisfaction (high volume) in our everyday lives.  I hope you enjoy this episode!

3 Life Lessons My Breastfeeding Friends Are Teaching Me

Weird topic, but I've had a crazy amount of conversations about all things pregnancy, labor, breastfeeding, etc. and some of the things about breastfeeding got me thinking... 1. What we SIGNAL, we STRENGTHEN 2. Anytime we start something NEW, we should expect DISCOMFORT... that doesn't mean it's wrong 3. We create BASELINES for what we will TOLERATE, both physically and in other areas of life Follow on Instagram LINK [https://www.instagram.com/rise.and.energize.pod/] Apple Podcasts LINK [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rise-energize/id1747921627] Youtube LINK [http://www.youtube.com/@RiseAndEnergizePod] Spotify LINK [https://open.spotify.com/show/46CJulONugz2ubcGANyQvR?si=9c3abbb1b9944e3f]

My Five Star Personal Development Book Recommendations

After finishing 75 Hard, I was reminded how much I love incorporating a little bit of self-help/personal-development nonfiction reading into my everyday routine. I find it easiest and most helpful to add at the beginning of the day, just to start off on the right foot, but any time you can add this in CONSISTENTLY is great!  Here are my top 5 book recommendations when it comes to personal growth: 1. Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins 2. How to Win Friends & Influence People by Dale Carnegie 3. Atomic Habits by James Clear 4. You Are a Badass Everyday by Jen Sincero 5. The 12 Week Year by Brian P. Moran Do you have any favorites? I'd love to hear about them! Love you, thank you!

Officially 30!!! (Well, I actually have been since last July, but my hubby just turned 30 so I thought it might be fun to do an episode on our top lessons learned in our 20s). In our 20s, our top two takeaways were: 1) life is short 2) don't take anything personally Listen in for more on these perspectives! Hopefully this episode encourages you to go after your dreams (because life is short y'all!!) and to give way fewer f*cks about what others are thinking and just live your life for YOU & YOURSELF! (respectfully, of course) Love you, thank you!
