    34: Working with Your Body's Natural Rhythms

    34: Working with Your Body's Natural Rhythms You see posts on social media and you feel like everyone else has figured out this adulting thing and they’re sticking to a schedule, a routine, like a boss; and you’re a big hot mess with no structure, no schedule. Or maybe you are sticking to a schedule, but you’re exhausted and having to rely on caffeine or worse to get you through the slumps in your day. Can you relate? Most of us have felt this way and have assumed that the problem is us -- we’re just not disciplined enough . But in this episode of the Optimized Life podcast, we’re going to challenge that assumption. You see, the problem is not your ability to stick to a schedule or a routine, but rather, your ability to identify your body’s natural rhythms and develop a routine that optimizes those rhythms. And we can help. In this episode, we’re going to tell you about our own experiences tuning into our bodys’ rhythms and the huge changes, which we previously thought were impossible, that we’ve experienced as a result. We’re going deep with this topic and giving you the tools that you need to identify your own rhythms so you can work with them (instead of against them!) for optimal productivity. Listen in as we talk about: 03:56 The external sources that have overridden our bodies’ natural states and rhythms 20:09 The significance of the circadian rhythm 23:46 The dangers of overriding our natural rhythms 25:02 The four phases of the menstrual cycle, which may be impacting your daily life in ways you don’t realize. 32:29 Chronotypes and how working with your chronotype can optimize your schedule or routine Resources mentioned: When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing by Daniel Pink ———Download The Optimized Life Toolkit——— Our TOP 5 HACKS that will FINALLY Get You "IN THE ZONE" All Day everyday: https://www.jessjanda.com/theoptimizedlife ———Where to Find Amy & Jess——— 🙋‍ Amy Guerrero:   http://www.amyguerrero.com 🙋‍ Jess Janda:   http://www.jessjanda.com ———Connect With Amy & Jess——— ✨ Join The Optimized Life Podcast Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/optimizedlife

    31: How to Feel Anger From a Place of Groundedness

    31: How to Feel Anger From a Place of Groundedness In each of our lives, there will inevitably be someone or something that triggers in you either a burning rage or intense fear. We know we should get it out of our nervous system and let it go, but that’s easier said than done. How can we so easily let someone off the hook after they cut us off in traffic? How can we not get angry when reading the heartbreaking news we wake up to everyday? Regardless of the reason, the fallout can often be damaging. Fear and anger arise from a ‘perceived’ threat creating a fight-or-flight response in our body. While it’s not easy to distinguish in the moment whether it’s a genuine threat or a distorted thought, slowing down to do so helps create space for us to respond appropriately to these highly charged emotions. In this episode of The Optimized Life Podcast, Jess and Amy share some of their personal experiences of dealing with emotions of fear and anger.  They even outline actionable steps that they find helpful to regulate their emotions and connect with themselves. Listen in as we talk about: 10:47 Amy explains how she creates awareness around her anger in order to feel it safely. 12:37 Jess relates her anger to excavating honesty and allowing it to exist instead of turning to aggression or numbing mechanisms 21:55 How anger can promote urgency, cooperation and collectivism 26:43 Jess goes deep into her personal experience with characterizing anger as an unmet need and how she’s come to express it in a healthy way in her marriage 34:02 Amy defines the four types of attachment and how most of us typically respond to anger brought forth by these patterns 45:17 Jess and Amy break down the actionable steps they are each doing to create space around anger in order to feel it from a grounded place ———Download The Optimized Life Toolkit——— Our TOP 5 HACKS that will FINALLY Get You "IN THE ZONE" All Day everyday: https://www.jessjanda.com/theoptimizedlife ———Where to Find Amy & Jess——— 🙋‍ Amy Guerrero:   http://www.amyguerrero.com 🙋‍ Jess Janda:   http://www.jessjanda.com ———Connect With Amy & Jess——— ✨ Join The Optimized Life Podcast Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/optimizedlife

    30: Consistency & How to Create More of It

    30: Consistency & How to Create More of It Admit it. We all want consistency in our lives. In our eating habits, workout schedule, morning routine, cashflow, and even in our relationships…we crave consistency. In an effort to better improve in this area, we buy all the best motivational books, watch the all recommended TedTalks and we hear the same message played back to us, “Consistency is the key to success.” While that may be true…it begs the question how do we integrate consistency into our lives in a sustainable way? How do we stay consistent while still consciously and mindfully moving forward in our lives? Nobody taught us that consistency involves priming our nervous systems with the energy to make those daily choices. Nobody taught us that it’s safe to choose a frequency of consistency that works best for us and to not feel guilty about it. Nobody taught us that wherever we are in our consistency process, we are worth celebrating and each of us should be…right now! In Episode 31 of The Optimized Life Podcast, Jess and Amy get right down to the hard-to-grapple-with truth of what consistency is, what it’s not, how to maintain it, and all the ins and outs we were never taught about it. Listen in as we talk about: 07:05 Jess brings clarity to how nervous system regulation and attachment patterns are the underlying key to being consistent 10:57 Amy uncovers how the role of technology and instant gratification relates to the way we view consistency for ourselves. 12:55 Learning to choose whatever form of consistency that works for you. 19:40 We learn that consistency is two steps forward, one step back with occasional doubt creeping in. 22:06 Practicing celebration to expand your nervous system. 27:05 Amy divulges how we can bring compassion to ourselves as we experience signs of dysregulation. ———Download The Optimized Life Toolkit——— Our TOP 5 HACKS that will FINALLY Get You "IN THE ZONE" All Day everyday: https://www.jessjanda.com/theoptimizedlife ———Where to Find Amy & Jess——— 🙋‍ Amy Guerrero:   http://www.amyguerrero.com 🙋‍ Jess Janda:   http://www.jessjanda.com ———Connect With Amy & Jess——— ✨ Join The Optimized Life Podcast Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/optimizedlife

    29: Ayahuasca and What Comes Next

    29: Ayahuasca and What Comes Next Ayahuasca is way more than just “showing up and throwing up.” It helps your brain to rewire neuropathways, it allows your body to purge things that are no longer serving you, it heals the body and boosts mental well-being. With proper integration post ceremony, it has the power to create profound, positive changes in your life. Fresh off of a 3 day Ayahuasca ceremony, Jess reflects on back on her most recent medicine journey, the positive changes she is experiencing post ceremony and what comes next ... which is where the "integration" comes in.  Integration is such an important part of the healing journey as it allows you process and make sense of everything that came up during ceremony. But what exactly does integration look like? In Episode 30 of The Optimized Life Podcast, Jess and Amy take you through the sweeping narrative of experiencing Ayahuasca. They recount each day’s moments with a specific visualization of the events as they happened, the ups, downs and how each of their experiences are still plugging into their daily lives, guiding them. We’re inviting you into an extremely informative and interesting conversation between friends. As you listen, we invite you to purposefully reflect on your own experiences and feelings. Listen in as we talk about: 3:30 Jess’ experience of exploring different groundbreaking modalities, and turning to Ayahuasca to transform her whole family system 14:24 What psychedelics do to our brain to create new neural pathways 20:08 Approaching integration that’s sourced from the inside and a connection with oneself 36:15 Amy reflects on awakening and releasing trauma by holding space for relief 39:23 The role of Ayahuasca in connecting us back to the natural world 42:06 Jess and Amy share the energy shifts they went through in their life after experiencing Ayahuasca ———Download The Optimized Life Toolkit——— Our TOP 5 HACKS that will FINALLY Get You "IN THE ZONE" All Day everyday: https://www.jessjanda.com/theoptimizedlife ———Where to Find Amy & Jess——— 🙋‍ Amy Guerrero:   http://www.amyguerrero.com 🙋‍ Jess Janda:   http://www.jessjanda.com ———Connect With Amy & Jess——— ✨ Join The Optimized Life Podcast Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/optimizedlife
