Would you benefit from drinking less alcohol? This week’s guest, alcohol-free lifestyle expert Amanda Kuda talks in-depth about drinking and how it affects our mind, body, and life. 

We often drink because we want to “be more” and “feel less”. Even though drinking is socially acceptable and seems pretty harmless (when not drinking excessively) alcohol can become a crutch and stunt emotional growth. A no-alcohol challenge like Dry January offers a reprieve - a reset - and a time to reflect on the impact alcohol has on our lives.  

Amanda explains that there are two types of people: moderators and abstainers ,and that it helps to know what category you fall into. 

Don't worry, this episode is NOT intended to get you to stop drinking alcohol all together, but to provide insight and to inspire you to take a closer look at your drinking habits.

44 - IS ALCOHOL HOLDING YOU BACK? with Alcohol-Free Lifestyle Expert Amanda Kuda

Are you having a hard time replacing old habits with new ones? Do you keep procrastinating getting started or getting something done? Change can be scary ("What if I fail?") and overwhelming (" I don't even know where to start."), but change can also be incredible!  

Everyone has something in their lives that they’d like to improve, whether that’s managing stress more effectively, being more organized, eating healthier, feeling more purposeful, or carving out more time to rest. But many struggle to take consistent action to make it happen. 

This week’s guest, coach, author, and well-being consultant Linda Bonnar, provides the right tools and techniques to making change more manageable. Her tools help you eliminate the resistance that keeps you from taking action, inspire you to make space, and how to deal with the imposter syndrome. You are in charge of your life, keep showing up for yourself, one day at a time!

Timestamps:

2:15 What life events inspired Linda to write her book “Just Three Things.”

3:55 How do we find time for change? 6:19 The awareness of how you spend your time is crucial.

8:30 Creating a conducive space is necessary! Physical and headspace.

9:56 Linda’s advice for cleaning out your mind and dealing with issues.

12:00 De-clutter your life! Audit yourself and your things every so often to see if they still have value to yourself.

13:28 Approaching the fear of change.

15:49 You become the people that you hang out with.

16:20 What is the Imposter Syndrome? Who does it affect? How can we overcome it?

19:00 Labels are for jars. Stop labeling yourself and others.

23:01 Creating big changes by implementing small steps.

25:40 Take the pressure off yourself on your journey. Comparison is the thief of accomplishment. Be flexible with the process.

28:14 How to put an end to procrastination!

31:55 The challenges that Linda is still working on today. Hint: don’t forget to take a vacation.

46 - CHANGE IS INEVITABLE, GROWTH IS OPTIONAL with Linda Bonnar, Author and Well-Being Consultant

Are your (new year) goals body and health related? Has it been hard to reach your goals in the past?

This week’s guest, fitness trainer Emily Eckstein, will help you get focused and explain how you can improve your mindset around losing weight, body shaming, and loving yourself. This is an invitation to go deep within and get vulnerable with yourself, because knowing your WHY will be the driving force of your actions.  

When we put in time and energy working towards a goal and we don’t see the desired results quickly, we get discouraged and feel unmotivated. We need to reevaluate our mindset and the way we invest time in ourselves in the long run.  

Emily and Jill also talk about other success factors such as: scheduling workouts, setting monthly goals, and choosing exercises you enjoy and make you feel good. We function better when we feel good, so let's keep moving and raising our vibrations!

Timestamps:

1:55 Is it worth making excuses?

2:40 Importance of scheduling in what’s important

4:30 Mindset before physical goals

7:55 Top tips making lasting goals!

11:30 Finding your “why” to your goals

19:26 Emily’s like changing moment when she was hit by an 18-wheeler
