    Win Small - Use Bite-Sized Breakthroughs to Fuel Your Quantum Leap

    Win Small - Use Bite-Sized Breakthroughs to Fuel Your Quantum Leap

    Let’s talk about the concept of a “quantum leap”. Is it possible to create success overnight with a mindset shift? The way you actually make success inevitable is through small, consistent wins through daily actions and developing grit. Exponential growth happens over time. I also talked about how transforming your mindset is an ongoing practice, not something that happens instantly. If you apply the principles of focusing on micro wins and continuously improving yourself, you'll be well on your way to surpassing even your biggest goals and dreams.
     
    Highlights
    How to make success inevitable (and it’s simpler and more “boring” than people want you to believe)
    The power of developing grit and resilience through continuous improvement
    Transforming your mindset as an ongoing practice rather than an instant change
    How to achieve exponential growth by focusing on micro wins and goals over time

    Functional Health for High Performers with Alive + Well Founder, Liz Swail

    Functional Health for High Performers with Alive + Well Founder, Liz Swail

    What a cool full circle moment, I have my college roommate on the show and she has such an inspiring journey of transformation. Liz Swail overcame so much adversity in her early life being born to young teen parents, and recognizing from a young age that drugs and a victim mindset were not the way to cope with challenges. As a professional dancer, she fought health issues even though she looked healthy on the outside. That resilience to find the root cause of her health problems led her to become a champion for holistic wellness. We also get a behind-the-scenes look at her thriving business Alive & Well. This is a great candid conversation about resilience, advocating for your health, and thriving in business and beyond. 



    HIGHLIGHTS
    Liz's story of being a peak professional dancer being recognized on the cover of a magazine, and simultaneously struggling with health issues.
    How Liz’s life changed when she understood how our bodies are impacted by the foods we eat.
    What every high performer needs to be able to optimize your health.
    Game changers to include in your daily routine to feel your best.

What’s Not To Love

Neeley is a ray of sunshine that everyone needs in their day! She has insightful conversations & truly embodies what it takes to help you live your life to the fullest! I love seeing episodes pop up on my playlist because I know it’s going to be exactly what I need to hear everytime!

Neeley Neal Show ,

The Neeley Neal Show

I am listening because there is always at least one bold take-away thought for improvement in each of Neeley’s works! But usually more! Her thoughts & expressions show sincerity and makes you feel she is in conversation directly with you. That’s rare, and not easy to convey.
High Five to you, Neeley. And thank you!
