Two months ago, If someone asked me if I take care of myself, I would answer yes. I strength train 2-3 x per week and hike or run the other days. I stretch and go for a walk most days. I journal most mornings and practice gratitude. I mostly choose healthy foods. I drink very little alcohol (and now not at all) I mostly enjoy my work.

395: 3 Things I Heard This Week to Help You Create Change
Fit + Vibrant You

My goal for the Fit and Vibrant You podcast is to give your the resources, tool, motivation and inspiration to live a fit, vibrant life. And in order to thrive and be our best selves, we need sex, connection, love and physical pleasure. When we are nourished through meaningful relationships, pleasure, passion and purpose, we can have a more relaxed relationship with food and body.
In this podcast, we talk all about sex:
- What problems can arise in your sex life

- What's a 'normal' number of times to have sex a life
- Very specific things you can do today to improve your experience in the bedroom (or kitchen, living room.... ;)
