The Psychology Behind Making a Sale: Why Thinking Too Much May Be Your Worst Enemy with Benjamin Brown
If you do not think you are interested in selling or have no need to ‘sell,’ think again. We all sell something daily. Selling is more than just closing deals; it's about understanding the psychological factors that drive consumer/partner/child behavior and mastering the art of fulfilling the interested party’s deeper needs. Once you understand that it is a skill like any other, it becomes easy. Today I had the pleasure of interviewing Benjamin Brown. Mr. Brown is a sales expert, author, and father of two young children. When it comes to sales, he’s done it all! From stock brokerage style cold calling to car salesman, to gym memberships, to medical devices-he can sell anything. Benjamin has 20 years’ worth of experience and created a 10-step process to help get more clients and MORE SALES. Relevant Links | Social Media:

A NEW Way of Healing Bi-Polar Disorder One Step at a Time with Michelle Reittinger
What a great conversation we had today! Michelle is my kind of gal. She is all about taking responsibility, becoming empowered, and an advocate of both nutrition and talk therapy to heal our trauma – a true inspiration to all who listen to this episode. Michelle Reittinger is a mother, wife, daughter and also a woman who has healed what many would call an unhealable mental illness, that is unless psychotropic drugs are used. Michelle advocates a radical shift in the treatment of bipolar using a research-based, integrated treatment plan to facilitate healing. I do this through public speaking, a podcast called The Upside of Bipolar, a blog, and a program called The Upsiders' Tribe, where I teach the steps to heal bipolar. She also has a book coming out in early summer 2024, so stay tuned for that!

Personalized Nutrition: Microbiome Insights with Dr. Sarah Berry
Is it true that the formula to lose weight is less calories and more exercise? Do women have a more difficult time to lose weight than men? Does stress play a large role in weight loss? In general, do you feel our health is more compromised in North America than in Europe? Is prioritizing protein over any other macronutrient as crucial as we often hear? Does exercise directly improve our microbiome? In today’s episode, I asked Dr. Berry these questions to provide my listeners with guidance and insight into making proper food choices and how this relates to our metabolic health and mood. The episode confirms what you may already know, and that is, what happens after food passes our lips is not as simple a process as we might like to believe. Many factors contribute to our physical and mental health. Sarah Berry is a Reader in Nutritional Sciences at King’s College London and Chief Scientist at ZOE Ltd. Her research is at the forefront of developments in personalized nutrition. It is forging a new way forward in the design and implementation of large-scale remote nutrition research studies integrating novel technologies, citizen science and AI.

Solo Episode - Why Lack of Self-Love is the Core Reason You Seek Therapy
The ugly concoction of guilt, shame and self-loathing is most often the underlying reason why you are struggling and in need of therapy. Ridding shame is not easy, but when you begin to love yourself more by honouring your core needs, it becomes easier. In this episode, I present three clients I have seen in therapy: Client one lost her job because she did not care enough for herself. Client two is slipping into burnout and depression because of taking on too much. Client three is a man committing multiple marital affairs because of low self-worth.

Solo Episode - Simplify To Become Physically and Mentally Healthier
In this episode, I discuss how living ‘The European Lifestyle’, or TEL, is the easiest approach to regain physical and emotional health. Why? Because, in general, Europeans are not so ‘rushed’ and, in doing so, become mindless. When mindlessness meets stress, the brain secretes stress hormone messages to the body, which spikes insulin. When insulin is secreted, glucose gets shuttled into the cell, and when there is an overabundance of glucose, it is stored as fat. When we lack connection, peace and happiness, we naturally are more prone to stress. Chronic stress and, consequently, chronic insulin spikes make us dumber and fatter. Chronic insulin also occurs by other means. Constant snacking and excessive carbohydrates in the form of simple sugars and processed foods, which lack fibre, also encourage high insulin spikes. Toxins in the form of pesticides and herbicides and the absence of nutrient-dense foods are other ways our metabolism gets hijacked. In summary, there is not just one factor that causes us to lose the battle of the bulge; there are many. Enjoy the show.

Embracing the Mediterranean Mindset For Better Mental Health with Anastasiia Romashova
Last spring, I hired a photographer for a photo shoot while vacationing in Europe. We became friends because of her welcoming and friendly nature. So, when I decided to do an episode on the connection to a Mediterranean lifestyle with better mental and physical health, I asked Anastasiia to describe the lifestyle. My hope in doing so is that you can put the puzzle pieces together to find peace and happiness as well. In summary, drop your need to compare and be ‘better’ than anyone else. Just BE yourself. Do what brings you joy each day and stick to it. Whether it is being more mindful about everything you do – including noticing the importance of being kind, or part of a community, or the quality of food you decide to ingest, or resting more and working less… bigger, better, stronger, faster doesn’t seem to be the answer to our well-being.

I loved hearing my client reiterate her past five years of working with me and working on herself. Anne (not her real name) noticed how she often made excuses about why she felt stuck and what she was doing was lying to herself. Change is never easy and always exciting. I have a few clients whom I joke with and tell them, ‘It’s never a boring session with you.’ That is a true compliment because you know what? Change means new…and if your life is mediocre, you are not evolving, which entails making many mistakes. My job is simply to guide you towards embracing your individuality and reminding you that you are doing this for a reason.

Solo Episode - Why Inaction Is A Recipe For A Life of Regret
Today, I share my views on how I am choosing to live life. I describe why prediction is an illusion and because we constantly try to predict ‘what the right answer is’ whenever we struggle to make a choice, we are wasting many precious moments. The truth is that there are many possibilities of what may happen, and stagnancy rooted in fear is the only bad choice or decision to make. When you ‘do’ rather than ‘view’ life, you learn and grow and evolve. This is the fountain of youth. Inaction is the pathway to disease because it is defined as a lack of movement. Lack of movement means lifelessness. It is, thereby, in essence, hypoxia or death.

How To Truly Step Into Life Rather Than Work Around It with Richard Dixey
Nowadays, everyone is looking for tips, tricks, tools, and workarounds to combat their ‘perceived’ weaknesses. That weakness could manifest in the form of psychosocial pain, physical pain, or emotional pain. The truth is, no one sees the world as you do; similarly, no one sees you as you do. So, what are we really comparing our pain to? We can only guess how we should be feeling by how we view our world at any given moment, or what we call our experiences. You are constantly changing with your environment. You are experiencing your life as it is reflected back to you – but only if you are open to it and present. Your mind can act as your best friend or your worst enemy. How do you make it your friend? You begin a meditation practice, starting with three minutes a day. Meet today’s guest, Richard Dixey, who will show us how to begin to meditate by starting with three minutes a day. Richard Dixey, PhD, is a scientist and lifelong student of Asian philosophy. He runs the Light of Buddhadharma Foundation in India with his wife Wangmo, the eldest daughter of Tibetan lama Tarthang Tulku.

Solo Episode - What it Really Takes to Change Yourself, Your Wealth, and Relationships; It Turns Out It is Not That Complicated.
I woke up one morning feeling happy, content, fulfilled, and at peace. This happens a lot. Not every day is a great day, but most days are. Why? Because I am nurturing my mind, body, and relationships every day. I try to practice a lot of self-awareness or mindfulness and learn what helps and hinders me. I change my thoughts, what some might call reframing, and life according to changes. And if I can’t find the answers within my self-reflections, I seek the answers elsewhere. Ignorance drives fear, and education is invaluable. You can’t learn what you unlearned any more than you can’t unsee what you have seen. In this episode, I get very raw and vulnerable. I cry (unexpectedly) because I am human, and I want to be human. Self-honesty is one of the keys to change; this podcast is all about change.

The Real Truth About Aging and Weight Gain with Elizabeth Resnick
I just had to get Elizabeth back on the show to bust more myths about weight gain, especially concerning aging. It all comes down to people making excuses or in other words, choosing REASONS over RESULTS. We can tell many stories about why you feel your body is different. You have unique tastes, preferences, and variances in DNA, but ultimately, that may account for 20% (at most) of the differences. So, where does the remaining 80% of your body composition stem from? Lifestyle choices, baby! Elizabeth Resnick is a 57-year-old double-certified health coach and author who helps women of all ages lose weight so they can love their bodies AND their lives. Happy Healthy and Hot is a unique blend of mindset, nutrition, and fitness that works. Women seek Elizabeth out to help them lose weight and end up gaining so much more: energy, confidence, and improved relationships. Elizabeth has been featured on TV and on numerous podcasts. In 2020, at the age of 53, she was a finalist in the Maxim Cover Girl competition, competing with women in their twenties and thirties.

Solo Episode - The Best Ways To Make Sure Your Relationship Does Not Last
In today’s solo episode, I do a fun take on all the things we should do if we want to sink the relation-SHIP. The best way to solve any disaster is prevention. Just like in health, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure; it is no different in relationships. In business, it is called reverse engineering. In medicine, it is called functional medicine. In psychology, it is called inversion thinking. So, I will coin my own phrase related to relationship woes; “A drop in expectations is worth an ocean of happiness.” You would be much better off incorporating more goodwill and giving your partner a lot of grace. Because folks, we are only human. Relevant Links | Social Media: This podcast provides general health information and should not be considered a substitute for professional medical advice.

As someone who drinks a lot of decaf coffee, it is important to know I am only ingesting quality ingredients when I drink, especially my coffee.

Chad Polski is the owner of Blue Spruce Decaf Coffee Co., and his passion is roasting organic arabica, chemical-free decaf coffee. As a young Dad, working full time and doing ‘all the things’ Chad noticed his anxiety was peaking. He also realized that his caffeine consumption was contributing to his racing heart. This is where the world’s hunger for great-tasting decaf coffee and Chad’s passion connected to create a product that people were begging for…a clean, great-tasting chemical and mold-free decaffeinated coffee bean. In this episode, we hit on all the nuances of producing a great decaf coffee and why the organic chemical-free decaffeination process of Swiss Water is so important.

The Role Reassurance Plays In Saving Your Relationship With John Gray
I am so excited to have John Gray back for a second time on my podcast! In today’s episode, I ask Dr. Gray to define the terms masculine and feminine energy and the importance of balancing these energy types between couples. I further inquired about his views on why marriages are not being maintained and divorce rates continue to soar. We also discuss what couples should concentrate on to build and maintain a closer connection. John Gray is the author of the most well-known and trusted relationship book of all time, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus. USA Today listed his book as one of the top 10 most influential books of the last quarter-century. In hardcover, it was the #1 bestselling book of the 1990s. Dr. Gray’s books are translated into approximately 45 languages in more than 100 countries and continues to be a bestseller. Dr. Gray has written over 20 books. His most recent book is Beyond Mars and Venus. His Mars/Venus book series has forever changed how men and women view their relationships. Relisten to Episode #3 (linked below) to catch my earlier interview with Dr. Gray.

Solo Episode - Love The One You’re With
Conflict is inevitable in any relationship. In fact, if you don’t have conflict, I would question the integrity of the relationship. Conflict means passion and a zest for life. However, when couples experience conflict, they often feel they are failing or doing something wrong. In this episode, I dissect the most common areas of communication breakdown and the analogies of what it takes to create success in your business to bring in some good examples of strong communication and leadership skills, not to mention the amount of hard work, passion, and tenacity of creating a successful business or career. For example, if you were to negotiate an increase in salary with your boss, would you be looking down at your phone? No! Then why would you do that during a bid for connection with your partner? The many Cs necessary for nailing down communication include Curiosity, Collaboration, Connection, and Compromise. I also threw in compassion because we often need a good dose to rid ourselves of resentment and anger and help see another’s perspective.

Cassie Howard Speaks to the Woman Who Dreams of Owning Her Own Business
I had a great interview with Cassie Howard, a well-known intuitive business strategist and money mentor (Yes, please). In this podcast episode, you will get to know Cassie more on a personal level and not just another business coach. What attracted me the most to Cassie is that she believes in you as a client; that is, you can be, do, and have anything you want and need right now, and you can experience it in your own way. She strongly advocates for work ethic, staying power, taking big, bold moves, and long-game focus alongside her many teachings on money, sales, and social media. Cassie Howard is most known for her savvy sales skills and her ability to make business simple, fun, AND sustainable. Her approach to business and money has attracted women's attention worldwide in their own attempt to build the mind-blowing business of their dreams. What she teaches in her programs, masterclasses, and individual training is something that she embodies in her own company every day, a company that has generated over 8-figures cash in just a few short years. She enjoys breaking the rules and doing what others tell her she can't. Her unique way of doing business has changed the game in the coaching and mentoring space. Many of her clients have surpassed milestones and rapidly created shocking success. Cassie is a huge proponent of success on *your* terms. ALSO! For those who love matcha but haven’t found a brand that they have fallen in love with, Cassie also felt similarly years ago and therefore sourced and created her own product line of Matcha.

Solo Episode - Don’t Let Your Trauma Become Your Never-Ending Drama
Today, I discuss what to do when you feel triggered in relationships. As children, we learn through patterning thoughts, leading to patterned outcomes. This makes us feel very comfortable because patterning leads to certainty. One plus one equals two. We know what to expect, so it removes any discomfort. As kids, we were also told to stop crying and were distracted in order to be happy, mainly because our parents wanted us to be happy so that they could be happy. Then life happens, and we realize that nothing is certain, and we need to be taught all over again to live with discomfort, change, and hurt feelings. Especially when it relates to relationships. Because there is one thing for certain in relationships, and that is we will get hurt. If you are in a relationship or seriously considering marriage…continue to read. Today, I am excited to inform you about the first of my brand-new offers for couples considering tying the knot. I will cover super-important information you can’t afford NOT to know… Click the link below to learn more: https://luellajonk.com/before-tying-the-knot-full-disclosure/ Relevant Links | Social Media:
