How To Be Awesome At Everything Podcast
I feel like there is this shift in what used to be the habits and routines of “extreme biohackers” or “health gurus” and now those same things have become part of a lifestyle that people are adapting to make it their new healthy normal. What we eat, how we move, what we focus on, how we approach health & supplements & body recovery, having a low stress lifestyle - all of it. This is - my opinion - the best ever cultural shift… because it makes us all healthier, happier in our day to day because we feel great and we will live longer and age better....

If you spend 18 minutes a day — focused on learning or practicing a skill, you will become better than 95% of the population at that skill. That’s the 100 hour rule. It’s about consistency and this concept of small daily progress that compounds over time. Jesse Itzler popularized this concept and it shows that you can become great at anything you’re willing to put 100 hours towards. You don’t need more time. You need more intention. In this episode I’m pulling out so many of the highlighted sections from...

We took Parker and the girls and a few buddies to Dave and Busters a few weeks ago and there was this small thing that happened that has been a huge perspective shift in my life. it's worth a podcast episode. I was telling Craig on the way there that I've kept all our past Dave and Buster's card organized in the Ziploc baggie in my purse so we have so many cards we have endless game credits we won't have to buy any cards it's literally gonna be the easiest trip to Dave & Buster's ever. So we get there and we're at that scanning machine and one by one each of the 10 cards I had been...

The craziest thing that I’ve learned over the last year of reading and re-reading aging and longevity books is that much of what we think is natural aging is actually neglect. My goal in this episode is to reframe what we assume or are told is “natural aging” or “just getting older” and show all the small things that we might be neglecting over time. This whole concept is so empowering!! Rather than feeling like we aren’t in control of how we age, we realize that we are actually in control of so much of it. Focusing on all the tiny things we...

In this episode, I’m sharing the best tips for maximizing your budget when it comes to party planning - especially kids parties. I have this way of doing it that’s efficient and organized and easy to decide what’s worth paying for and what’s better to do yourself. I’m sharing specific examples from the Party I just threw for Parker because I think it will give you lots and lots of ideas for the parties you plan in the future. This one was a baseball and ice cream theme so I definitely needed ice cream cones. I got two quotes for companies to scoop...

Over the years, I’ve spent lots of time in hospitals as we navigate keeping Craig healthy despite his genetic heart issues. This past week was another week spent in the hospital for us and even though we’ve done this so many more times than we would like… Every time I come out with a new perspective in someway or a new thoughts on really how to keep your health as the highest priority in life and what I think is the best way to keep all your records and information organized and how to advocate for yourself. One of my favorite things about podcasting and connecting with friends is...

Quick story to explain this - I was testing out a new business and I was talking to my husband about this product and the cost of goods and profits and the industry and I was explaining about the strong positioning I’ll have in the marketplace and he was like many sold last month and what was the net profit? And when I told him - he’s like your time is worth more- that’s not big enough - and I’m like totally - but I haven’t even gotten started. He’s like but you have sales- I was like I know, but I’m in the pre-game like I haven’t even gotten started....

This episode is all about documents your highs in life, so you can create more of them. As a person who’s thought a lot about joy and happiness and fulfillment - if we just try to simplify all of that - I really think it comes down to stringing as many awesome days together as you can. Identifying what made you feel the happiest, the strongest, the most fulfilled… all of it. You probably know I’m obsessed with designing our days rather than letting our days just happen and all of that starts with first figuring out what we actually love, have the most fun doing and what and who makes...
info_outlineToday, we’re just going to jam on gratitude and perspective and how the way we frame things is the way we see them.
I’m sharing what I think are the most valuable insights and thoughts I have in this season of life. Things I’ve learned from my reading a book a week every week and just being a student of life. Having conversations with all different types of people and perspectives and with different experiences.
This is a fun one with lots of different ideas for you think about and maybe insert your life and routine.
I loveeee reading a book a week
I’ve replaced social media with reading/audio books
Only on social during mellow movement - breaking the cycle of social media early morning and in evenings and in any free minutes. I have a plan and stick to it instead.
I’m prioritizing stretching with weights for longevity
I 100% believe that aging is mostly neglect not an avoidable part of life
I’m going PRO at sleeping and bedtime routine - setting a plan and being strict with it
And when something seems hard- becoming a PRO at it - starting something or solving something.
Monotasking - do one thing until it’s totally done
Using social media strategically and not passively
Purge. Have less and know where it all is. Plus life is so much more calm.
Spending money very intentionally. For me it’s mostly longevity and nutrition. I also like being put together and have nice things to wear but that’s way more Zara these days than designer.
Have a set plan for the day before it gets going. If you don’t have a plan, your day will run you. Start in control and stick to the plan. Don’t let emotion stray you.
Sending love to you and yours this holiday season and beyond!
