Tell Me Something Good

It's July and we are back with a new episode for you. This week we are talking about real life challenges, and how we each approach them. As much as we'd love life to be smooth sailing, that's just not going to be the case for any of us. We are navigating challenges as best we can, and today we show you a little bit of that process.

For today's episode we are thrilled to bring you a conversation with high level performance coach Ali Grzyb. We talk about her extensive background in the sports and fitness world, what it's really like to train professional athletes, and how to integrate yoga and mindfulness into your fitness routine.

In this week's episode we are talking all about our thoughts on our first book club selection, “Deep Work” by Cal Newport. Tune in for a recap of our favorite parts of the book and our biggest takeaways.

Feeling aimless? Cloudy? Not despondent but....certainly not joyful? You just might be languishing, and on today's episode we are talking all about it. Focusing on our mental health has never been more important, and we are hoping that this episode sheds a light on a very common phenomenon since the start of the pandemic.

We'll be discussing our Deep Dive into Cal Newport's Deep Work on next week's episode

This week we are covering the hidden power of perceptions and how taking a look at this may impact your life in big ways. We will cover self-perception, the empowerment that comes with keeping an open mind and we finish it off with a dose of laughter.

In this week's episode we are taking another look at energy! Specifically those things or people that may be draining your energy without even realizing it. We also announce our new book club! Below is the first book: https://www.calnewport.com/books/deep-work/

The past year has been hard on all of us, but now it feels the tide is starting to turn. It's tempting to want to “go back to normal”, but what is that exactly? If you are ready to start with a clean slate but feeling a bit hesitant about just where to begin, we've got some great tips for you. Whether it's starting a new exercise routine, or changing your nutrition habits...we cover it all. Instagram Brett Instagram Paolo Instagram

We're back for Season 3! In this episode we are sharing a very real look at the key lessons that we've learned over the past year living through the pandemic. It hasn't been easy, but we're both found a silver lining. Please rate and subscribe

Today we are both reflecting on the top 3 moments that have had an impact on our lives, and shaped who we have become today. This was a fun exercise, and led to some interesting revelations that we share. Our hope is that this one prompts you to do the same! You may be surprised by just how much something your past experiences contribute to the life you lead today. No Rules Rules

Often in these difficult times it can feel like we have no choice but to be fearful, anxious and negative. Today we are going to go through ways to transform your thoughts to a better outlook on life. In the end, our mental attitude is a choice and we do indeed have the power to stay healthy -- not only in our physical bodies but also in our thoughts.

It's time for a mental health check around here, and in this episode we are talking all about seasonal depression. We'll talk about some of the signs, our own experiences with it and how to make the most of the dramatic changes currently underway. It IS possible to make the most of winter...it just might take a little bit of adjusting.

Do you have an all or nothing mindset when it comes to some aspects of your life? In this episode, we talk about the limitations of this conventional way of thinking. You'll hear specific examples of how this has impacted us, and how there IS a better way!

During this time of increased "together" time for all of us, we thought this would be a perfect opportunity to share some of the lessons we've learned from our own relationships - good and bad. We are coming from two different perspectives, but you may be surprised just how much we agree. See below for show notes and as always, thanks for listening!

We are BACK after a short break, and are sharing some life updates, our “good” and a few quick grounding techniques that we are using to help get us through this crazy time. You'll hear our honest feelings on some challenges we are facing during this time, but also how we are trying to make the best of it. Good...bad...we are taking it all in stride, and wishing the same to you as we all head into a new season of school and life! Live Awake https://soundcloud.com/liveawakepodcast

How are you doing??? That's the question we are asking each other this week on a bit of an introspective episode. Using prompts from a recent episode of the “10 Things To Tell You” podcast, we are taking a mid-way checkpoint for the year. We talk about what we are doing well, what could use a change as we move into the back half of the year and what we may miss after this year has passed. Enjoy, and please share this episode with a friend who may need it! Laura Tremaine 10 Things to Tell You (source for these prompts!)

If you are feeling frustrated and/or by the abundance of online workouts right now you are not alone...and we've got you. This week Brett asks Paolo all of her questions about how to really make a workout at home matter. We cover the BEST types of workouts to be doing right now, how to stay motivated and how the pressure to “do the most” can lead us down the wrong path when it comes to exercise. Enjoy, and please share this episode with a friend who may need it! Instagram: @tellmesomethinggoodshow @brettcortell @paolobmusic

This week we discuss how easy it is during this time to be in a negative versus positive mindset. When we have limited options for travel and entertainment, how do we still keep life interesting? We will offer some specific ideas on this subject as well as our own experience right now keeping things in abundance!

This week we are talking about how to find joy in everyday, simple things. We talk about the difference between joy and happiness, and how true joy can be found in very small moments and unexpected ways. We cover how to move away from guilt, and toward our intuition. Finally, we each share our top moments of joy lately - and it might surprise you! Thanks for listening and be sure to rate and subscribe!

It's official! We are back recording in person (with appropriate distance) and pretty much thrilled about it. This week for our “something good” we are talking about key lessons we learned in quarantine. We also have a chat about CBD and hopefully can answer some of your questions in the process! Thanks for listening, and of course hanging in there with us during this crazy time. Highline Wellness Lord Jones

Episode 10 Today's episode is a must listen. We were lucky enough to sit down with restaurateur David Massoni. We talked about the start of his career (at the age of 15!), his days running with the celebrity chef crowd in NYC, and what it's like to own and run a restaurant. David shared some fun stories from his past, but more importantly sheds an honest light on how to be a successful (and POSITIVE!) entrepreneur during challenging times.

We are keeping things very casual this week and chat a bit about how this unique time is impacting us both. More importantly, we are bringing you our own thoughts on how we each manage to control anxiety these days and stay calm through this storm.

Today's discussion is all about the things (and people and places) that are currently influencing us.

This week we are chatting all about perfectionism. We discuss the ways in which we each may or may not be perfectionists, the specific pressures of this as related to women, and why embracing IMPERFECTION is always the best strategy. Something Good (Brett) Monet Quote “If you are uncomfortable, in deep pain, angry, yearning, confused -- you don't have a problem. You have a life. Being human is not hard because you are doing it wrong, it's hard because you are doing it right. You will never change the fact that being a human is hard, so you must change the idea that it is supposed to be easy. Glennon Doyle “My life has been nothing but a failure.” Claude Monet Mentioned in this episode: Are you a perfectionist? Instagram: @brettcortell @paolomuzic @tellmesomethinggoodshow

Episode 4 This week's episode shines the spotlight on celery juice and intermittent fasting. Each month we will share our take on a wellness trend or concept that's currently in the public consciousness. Today, Brett shares her experiences with celery juice and even gets Paolo to give it a shot. Paolo will be giving the inside scoop on intermittent fasting - a trend that many often find confusing. We hope our experiences shed some light for you on both of these popular wellness trends!

Finding Empowerment in The Second Act Episode 2 In this week's episode, we are sharing our own “second acts” or big shifts in life, and all the associated emotions that have gone along with it, including some very big resets. We also talk a bit about inspirational figures in our lives that have motivated us to make changes. In the end, there are so many different phases to life but following our intuition, and being true to ourselves is key. It's always possible to make a change. It may need to happen incrementally, but life is too short to stay stuck in just one act if you know that you are meant for more! Accenture (Brett's ill fated stint as a “coder”) Time Inc (a history) “Ina Garten is Everyone's Fantasy Best Friend” Sounds about right!
