“Focus on doing the right things instead of a bunch of things.” – Mike Krieger. Today, we are shifting gears and not discussing business and careers.  Instead, my guest and I will discuss what you need to know to navigate the college admissions process successfully. 
As a parent who has been through the entire college process and experience, I wish I had known my guest a decade ago. I hope that my parents, who are constantly fighting with their kids to get the college admission process done and done correctly, I hope that you get some answers on how to make it easier on you and your kids!

“Every success story is a tale of constant adaption, revision, and change” – Richard Branson.  When I started this show over a decade ago, I asked a friend what they thought about me starting a podcast and if it would be worth the time and money to host a show.  Her response made so much sense because I could not see the forest from the trees.  She said, “Do you have an hour or two each week to host the show?  And will you be able to still pay your mortgage and put food on the table?”  Then she said, in the worst-case scenario, you waste time and money.  Can you live with that?  Finally, she said, “What if you become an international phenomenon?” 
 
So, I started the show and now have two shows. I paid my mortgage and put food on the table, and both my shows are ranked in the top 5% of all business podcasts. In hindsight, yes, it was worth it. At the time, I was a nervous wreck!  So, navigating change is real and constant!

“Our DNA is like a genie in a bottle, except they are genes in our body, connected to the unified field of the universe. They react to our thoughts to make our wishes a reality by attracting people, things, and experiences which we desire & think about most.” – Lacey Knight
 
One of my favorite studies on human memories and habits transmitted through our ancestral DNA is by Dias and Ressler.  Over several repetitions, they train mice to become afraid of the smell of cherry blossoms and associate the cherry blossom with pain. 
 
Shortly afterward, these males bred with female mice. When their pups smelled the scent of cherry blossom, they became more jumpy and nervous than pups whose fathers hadn't been conditioned to fear it, even though they had never felt the electric shock associated with the cherry blossom smell.  This plays out for humans and our ancestral DNA, too.  Are you intrigued?

“The human capacity for burden is like bamboo- far more flexible than you’d ever believe at first glance.” ― Jodi Picoult. I am a visual learner, and this quote hit home for me.  I know that if I do not remain healthy in my mind, body, and spirit, I will never be able to attain the lofty goals I have set for myself and my business.  I also know that what may work for me won’t work for you and vice versa.  In my business, I customize every solution for the client or prospect in front of me. Customization in all aspects of life and business is also necessary when we explore ways to improve our health. Today, we will discuss how to unlock the keys to becoming the best version of yourself, one step at a time.

“I think every working mom probably feels the same thing:  You go through big chunks of time where you’re just thinking, this is impossible – oh, this is impossible.  And then you keep going and going, and you sort of do the impossible” – Tina Fey
As a working mom and business owner for my kids' entire lives, juggling my professional and personal life is always a challenge and something to be mindful of. After I had my kids and immediately went back to work, I had no idea the guilt and overwhelm that was possible. There is no way to prepare for the child's schedule and your schedule. It can be challenging, but it is doable with the right team. 
In today’s episode, we will discuss the importance of adjusting your mindset for exercise during pregnancy & postpartum and adjusting to the "mom" lifestyle & demands.

About Jordan Searles: During her pregnancy, Jordan felt lost trying to figure out how to continue exercising while also keeping her body and baby safe. Even with her education to become a certified gym teacher and holding the Guinness Book World Record for the best time, she accomplished a one-mile-long record for women earlier this year.  
 
She wishes she had someone to connect with who could have guided her through the different stages and feelings of what it took to exercise during pregnancy and postpartum. This motivated her to get her pre-and postnatal training specialist certification while on maternity leave with her son, Cameron. Through her knowledge and personal experience, she aims to educate women on prenatal and postpartum exercise and advocate for overall prenatal/postnatal women’s health.
