Send us a textIn today's episode, I'm chatting with Sami Young - a mom, wife, PE teacher, and avid reader who is perpetually caught between just one more chapter and not knowing what to read next. She's a proud millennial with a TBR list taller than my houseplants, and you might remember her from Episode 63, when she joined me alongside her son, Jarek.Episode Highlights:How Sami keeps a book with her everywhere she goes, even when reading time is short.What her real-life reading routine looks like right now and why nighttime has become her go-to.Easing into audiobooks by co-reading with a print copy.Why she likes to switch genres between books instead of reading the same kind back-to-back.Reflecting on reading aloud to her son when he was younger and how that shaped his love of reading.What it's like to be a family of re-readers (and why their bookshelves are always full).Savoring quiet reading moments - like sitting in the sunshine with a book and wishing it could last forever.Show NotesSome links are affiliate links, which are no extra cost to you but do help to support the show.Books and authors mentioned in the episode:Alan Gratz books (book recs in Ep. 6 with Lilianna)Six of Crows by Leigh BardugoHarry Potter series by J.K.

Feeling stuck in survival mode—skipping workouts, stress-snacking, sleeping less, and calling it "good enough"? In this fireside chat, we unpack how that bar quietly drops and what to do when "good enough" stops being enough. You'll learn how to spot the red flags, reframe your mindset, and raise your floor with small shifts that actually stick during busy seasons and the holidays. We riff on five everyday arenas where standards slip—and how to course-correct without perfectionism: Food noise vs food joy: enjoy treats on purpose, not by accident The good-enough workout: protect the appointment, adjust the dose Morning light vs winter blues: use light as a free energy reset Stress vs rest at family gatherings: step-out rituals that save your tone Gratitude as a reset: one specific thank-you that changes your day‍ Plus, we show you how to use habit anchors to make consistency automatic and craft a one-line floor statement you can run for the next 7 days.‍ APPLY FOR COACHING: https://www.lvltncoaching.com/1-1-coaching SDE Method app: https://www.lvltncoaching.com/sde-method-app The Fitness League Waiting List https://u3rwk.share.hsforms.com/2rkAwsFntTAeZ__PxwXdr4Q Macros Guide https://www.lvltncoaching.com/free-resources/calculate-your-macros Join the Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/lvltncoaching FREE TOOLS to start your health and fitness journey: https://www.lvltncoaching.com/resources/freebies Alessandra's Instagram: http://instagram.com/alessandrascutnik Joelle's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joellesamantha?igsh=ZnVhZjFjczN0OTdn Josh's Instagram: http://instagram.com/joshscutnik Chapters: 00:00 The Drift into Survival Mode 03:19 Recognizing the Red Flags 09:06 The All-or-Nothing Mentality 12:59 Finding Balance in a Busy Life 16:06 Morning Routines and Alarm Strategies 18:12 Setting Boundaries: Floors and Ceilings in Life 19:10 Food Awareness: Noise vs. Joy 22:19 Adapting Workouts: Embracing Change 23:41 Light Exposure: Combatting Winter Blues 24:39 Navigating Family Gatherings: Stress vs. Rest 25:33 Gratitude as a Daily Reset 26:32 Habit Anchors: Small Changes, Big Impact 29:58 Self-Audit: Recognizing Good Enough 34:43 Small Upgrades for Big Benefits 37:20 Awareness and Action: The Path to Change

In this solo episode, Erin Aquin digs into a question so many vision-led entrepreneurs wrestle with: how do you make meaningful progress on a major creative project when your life is already full? Drawing from the behind-the-scenes story of writing multiple books during some of the busiest seasons of her life—new babies, lockdowns, growing the business, teaching, coaching—Erin shares what actually makes big creative commitments possible. Spoiler: it has less to do with time-blocking hacks and far more to do with how you care for yourself, how you relate to your vision, and the honesty with which you assess your own energy. She walks through the practices that keep her grounded while working on her next book, including the non-negotiable self-investment rituals that make creativity sustainable. She also breaks down how she structures her days, why she abandoned the fantasy of 5 a.m. hustle, and what she learned from repeatedly creating ambitious projects inside busy, very human seasons of life. What you'll take away: Why self-investment isn't a luxury but the foundation for major creative work How to distinguish between genuine desire and "goal swamp" motivations A simple, clarifying daily question that keeps your projects aligned with your real vision How to identify your personal peak creative windows and use them well What to stop doing when you're avoiding your big work (and how to replace those habits) How to celebrate progress when your project feels more like a marathon than a sprint Practical ways to start today without waiting for life to "slow down" For anyone with a book, program, product, or passion project sitting on the back burner, this episode offers a grounded reminder: you don't need more time, you need the right relationship with your vision.

My guest today is a returning guest, Liz Perkins. Liz is the night news editor on the Sunday Telegraph and the Telegraph, plus she also writes freelance stories across the national papers too. She is incredibly busy and always on the go!She talks about a recent appearance on Crime, on CBS network talking about a crime story she followed years ago. The story was about a murderer in Swansea, who was suddenly placed on release warrant, and allowed to wander around where he pleased. Unsurprisingly his family wanted to know how he was there.Liz is from South Wales and is known there for her story exposing sexism and misogyny in the Welsh Rugby Union and she has also written a lot of stories about domestic abuse too. She writes about a wide variety of subjects because many different people get in contact with her with stories they want to share. She also gets invited to interviews all over the world, from General Petraeus, who was in charge of the US Army to UK TV presenter Jeff Brazier. She shares some of the favourite people she's interviewed, from those who are nationally known, to people she met at my No BS Media Summit earlier this year. Liz is always on the lookout for potential stories. Taking part in my summit was the first time she had done something like that, and found it amazing that the attendees had the opportunities to meet national news editors and journalists  - something that is incredibly rare. Following the summit, Liz has written the stories of several people who attended, and still has stories where she is waiting for a chance to submit them to the right place.The types of stories Liz says she is interested in are the ones about the person – not their product or service. People are interested in how people have got where they are and their backstory - that's her passion.Always a busy person, Liz talks about the exciting places she'll be visiting in the future, including Australia and Saudi Arabia. She is a very sought after journalist, who is always on the move, and always looking for the next story.Liz will be joining me soon on a webinar on 19th November.

Ever feel like you're drowning in your daily routine and can't possibly squeeze in one more thing for your health? In this episode of The Wellness Effect, Kira and Jensen tackle the myth that you need to wait for the "perfect time" to prioritize your wellbeing. From navigating third trimester pregnancy while running a business to managing demanding work schedules, we break down why busy seasons are exactly when you need those healthy habits most—and how to make them work even when life feels chaotic. Whether you're a burned-out mom, overworked student, or anyone caught in the productivity trap, this conversation will help you shift from surviving your busy season to actually thriving in it.   In this episode, you'll hear: Why we've been conditioned to equate "busy" with "good" since childhood—and how to break free from that mindset The floor and ceiling approach: creating flexible non-negotiables that work no matter what your day throws at you The nervous system connection: why rushing through your day actually makes everything harder Why asking for help isn't weakness—it's strategic self-care that benefits everyone The boundary-setting strategies that stop you from saying yes to everything Small wins that compound: from morning sunlight to celebrating the basics you're already doing right   Key Takeaways: Your healing journey is lifelong—there will never be a "perfect" time to start, so learn to work with busy seasons instead of waiting them out The floor and ceiling method: establish a bare minimum you can do on your worst days (looking out the window for sunlight) and a maximum for your best days (30-minute morning routine) Most people don't know what feeling good actually feels like because we've adapted to feeling tired and overwhelmed as our baseline     Want more from us?

Life today is overflowing with constant noise and endless responsibilities — from work demands to family schedules, to the never-ending stream of emails and notifications. It’s easy to feel stretched too thin, constantly pulled in competing directions. In today's devotional and prayer, Heidi Vegh reminds us that the key to balance isn’t found in managing every detail perfectly, but in surrendering our days to God. Matthew 6:33 calls us to seek first His Kingdom — to make God our priority before anything else. When we start our mornings with Him, we allow His Spirit to order our steps, giving us peace in the middle of chaos. Balance doesn’t mean doing everything; it means doing the right things, with God’s guidance. Sometimes His answer may be to rest instead of striving, to connect with a friend instead of checking one more task off the list. When we make room for holy interruptions, we find the kind of balance our souls truly crave. Today's Bible Reading: “But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His Kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right attitude and character of God), and all these things will be given to you also.” – Matthew 6:33 (AMP) Key Takeaways Balance begins with priorities — seeking God first each day. Surrendering control allows God to redirect our days according to His will. The Holy Spirit provides gentle nudges and guidance when we feel overwhelmed. True balance comes not from doing it all, but from living aligned with God’s purposes. Let’s Pray Lord, life is busy and overwhelming, and I need balance. I surrender my plans, to-do lists, and ideals into Your hands. Guide me with Your Spirit, reminding me to start each day with You. Show me what to lay down, what to pick up, and how to create space for rest. Thank You for caring about every detail of my life and for promising to order my steps when I seek You first. In Jesus’ name, Amen. Calls to Action Start your morning tomorrow with a Scripture reading and prayer before touching your phone. Ask God throughout the day: “What’s the next right thing?” and trust His nudge.

Daily Meditation When life’s calendar overflows with commitments, it can be hard to discern what’s truly important. In this relatable devotional, Laura Bailey reflects on how our time can quickly get consumed by good things—yet still leave us feeling spiritually empty. She draws from 1 Corinthians 10:23 to challenge us to rethink our calendars, our hearts, and our priorities. Through a busy season of endless events, Laura invites us to pause and ask: Just because we can, does that mean we should? By seeking the Lord’s guidance, we can learn to live more intentionally, create margin for the things that matter most, and align our lives with the eternal purpose of serving and glorifying God.

Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast! On this episode, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon and Purple Patch Fitness Coach Max Gering discuss the case of David, a 52-year-old father and IRONMAN aspirant with limited training time. David's initial marathon training was rigid and stressful, affecting his family life. The team at Purple Patch adapted his training to a dynamic, flexible schedule, focusing on hydration, sleep, and post-workout fueling. They deferred his Ironman to five months later, allowing him to build a performance base. David's training included a mix of strength, running, and biking, with key sessions planned in advance. He successfully completed his IRONMAN in 12 hours, demonstrating the effectiveness of their integrated approach.

Power Planning works for entrepreneurs at every level of income, whether you're just starting out, trying to make your first consistent income, or already running a seven-figure business. When your perfectionist mindset is working for you instead of against you, creating time and space for what matters becomes so much easier. Eliška already had a seven-figure jewellery business when she signed up for Perfectionists Getting Shit Done (PGSD). But she was exhausted. There was no breathing room in her schedule. Her dream of starting a coaching business had been sitting on the backburner for years. And the idea of having a second child felt like too much to handle. Fast forward to today and Eliška now has two successful businesses and is eight months pregnant with baby number two. Thanks to the changes she made inside PGSD, her husband was able to quit his CEO role to be home with the kids (something they never imagined was possible when she first joined). In this episode, Eliška shares how Power Planning helped her simplify everything she was doing and finally make time for more. More presence with her family. More connection with her husband. More progress in her business. And, most importantly, more trust in herself to follow through without the all-or-nothing pressure. We talk about the real changes she experienced in her work and home life, how PGSD helped her feel supported without needing to show up to live coaching calls, and what she would say if you're on the fence about joining. If you're feeling overwhelmed trying to juggle it all or frustrated that you're not making the progress you know you're capable of, this episode will help you see that it's not about working harder or being more disciplined. It's about learning how to plan in a way that actually works for your perfectionist brain. PGSD gives you the tools, support, and structure to finally follow through without burning out or falling off track when life gets full.
