Granting access to the parts of our lives that feel too painful or messy to look at can be incredibly difficult. It’s easy to feel scared and powerless to what’s hiding behind locked doors within our hearts. However, these hidden rooms hold the keys to creating a lifestyle of hope, joy, peace, and love. In this episode, Justin and Abi discuss how they’ve dissociated from pieces of their own story and the ripple affects of that in their emotional health as well as their relationships. Together they layout a roadmap to taking the steps necessary to experience a vibrant and healthy life. If you’re wanting to shake off the heavy weights bogging you down, this is a MUST listen to episode. The FINAL DAYS for our Living Fully Alive 2021 Course are here.

As an early adopter of tech, it's easy to find yourself with a wide range of hubs and bridges to keep your smart home devices connected in a highly fragmented marketplace. The days of having just a laptop, smartphone and tablet to your home network are long gone. Tech has transformed our lives and the average home now has family members streaming YouTube, Netflix, and playing video games. But this is only the beginning. Slow cookers, home heating, lighting, and even toasters can all connect to the internet. Upon looking at my own setup, I noticed I had a number of TP-Link devices and thought I would ask them onto my daily tech podcast and ask them just much has changed. Thankfully, they said yes. Founded in 1996, TP-Link is a global provider of reliable networking devices and accessories, involved in all aspects of everyday life. With a proven heritage of stability, performance, and value, TP-Link has curated a portfolio of products that meet the networking needs of all individuals. Now, as the connected lifestyle continues to evolve, the company is expanding today to exceed the demands of tomorrow. I talk the TP-Link about the release of Deco M9 Plus, the smart home Mesh Wi-Fi System. We also talk about TP-Link's HomeCare, Cybersecurity, Network foundation for the smart home too.
