    EP15: Being Real, Post-Show Weight Gain, and the “My Way or the Highway” Mindset

    EP15: Being Real, Post-Show Weight Gain, and the “My Way or the Highway” Mindset

    As individuals, we form our own ideas about people based on their social media. That’s why it is so important to be as real as possible whether you are online or offline. When you’re real, people know exactly what they’re going to get when they enter your life. This can help you avoid surrounding yourself with the wrong people and getting into the wrong relationships. Having the the right people in your life is vital because you need people to support you when you’re having self-confidence issues or when you’re training for a show or for any number of reasons. Remember, stay away from the cookie cutter or “my way or the highway” mindset. Stay true to who you are and stick with what works best for you.
    In this episode, we talk about…
    Finding the small things in life to be happy about Meagen’s story Staying true to who you are on and offline Relationship issues that arise when training for a show Post-show weight gain mental struggles The need to change the “my way or the highway” mindset in fitness Links to resources:

    EP14: Sex, Health, and Business

    EP14: Sex, Health, and Business

    A lot of people listening to this focus on surviving instead of thriving. Having that mindset will hold you back from success. Everyone wants to eat better food and safest car and comfiest clothes. The entire point of having extra income is to increase your quality of life. There’s nothing wrong with chasing more money because you don’t know how long you’re going to be here. If you are here to thrive, you will be willing to do what it takes every single day.
    Being perfect is what you make of it, especially when it comes to being healthy. Good health is really how you describe it personally. Going out to have a drink isn’t going to kill you. In fact, letting go a little and having fun is a major factor of being mentally healthy because health is not just a physical aspect. Another factor of mental health is whatever your relationship status is. If you’re going to be in a serious relationship, you need to be with someone who is on-board with you chasing your dreams. They are either helping or hurting you whether that is their intent or not. Remember, you cannot truly love someone else until you truly love yourself.
    In this episode, we talk about…
    Being a result of your environment Getting complacent when you’re the big fish in the small pond The drawbacks of having a poor-money mindset Surviving compared to thriving There’s nothing wrong with wanting to increase your quality of life Finding the balance between money value and memory value Defining health from a physical and mental standpoint Being perfect for yourself Effects on business of being in a relationship Having a toxic social circle The importance of truly loving yourself Benefits of selfish decisions The answer almost always falls in the middle Links to resources:

    EP13: How to Crush Business and Life if You’re Multi-Passionate with Emily Frisella

    EP13: How to Crush Business and Life if You’re Multi-Passionate with Emily Frisella

    Being multi-passionate keeps you from feeling burnt out and helps you stay passionate about all of your different projects. Your days have much more diversity that you normally would if you stuck to one thing. The reason that people become burnt out on their careers is because they find themselves working for the benefit of the company. They don’t get to see the impact of their job or the value that they bring. Doing the same thing every day can become monotonous and cause you to lose your passion.
    Organized chaos can be healthy for the mind and allow you to keep killing it in your multitude of passions as well as start new ones. As someone moves along through their multi-passion entrepreneurial journey, their title becomes longer and longer. This makes it increasingly more difficult to define yourself when asked the question, “who are you?” Don’t ever let that stop you from your title.
    In this episode, we talk about…
    The different aspects of being multi-passionate in business and life How to stay passionate about all of your projects Great tasting macro-friendly recipes Organized chaos and what it means Staying at peace with all the chaos going on Emily’s upcoming projects The importance of showing up prepared for life Links to resources:

Super Insightful

Listened to a couple of podcasts so far and gotta say- I love how each episode touches deeper on the emotional level with the ups and downs of building & growing a business and/or brand rather than just focusing on just the surface level! Super insightful tips and info! Recommend you listen to even just one cause you’ll get hooked!
