Peter shares his insights into the pervasive "sales paranoia" that plagues many real estate agents, and together, he and Rob break down practical strategies to overcome this fear and build genuine connections with clients. This insightful conversation delves into the root causes of sales reluctance, highlighting the fear of being perceived as "salesy." Rob and Peter discuss the power of projection, the importance of shifting focus from self to client, and practical techniques for initiating conversations. The episode provides a deep dive into Ninja Selling Habit #8 (50 Live Interviews), and how that and other habits such as time-blocking and using the F.O.R.D. method can help achieve professional goals.

Heather and Kerry share their journey of creating baking mixes free of grains, gluten, dairy, and artificial ingredients—all while maintaining incredible taste and texture.

Key Takeaways: Mainstream cake mixes are harmful: Enriched bleached flour and GMO-sprayed wheat can negatively impact gut health and increase inflammation. Tiger nut flour is a game-changer: It's nutrient-dense, high in fiber, and feeds good gut bacteria. Eat Gangster's product lineup: From brownies and cookies to pizza crusts and frosting, their mixes are clean, delicious, and versatile. Understanding nightshades: Learn what they are, who should avoid them, and how they might contribute to inflammation. The importance of fiber: Fiber supports digestion, stabilizes blood sugar, and promotes fullness—making it a vital component in baking. Beyond AIP compliance: Eat G.A.N.G.S.T.E.R.'s mission is to make clean, real food accessible to everyone, not just those on restrictive diets. The frosting revolution: Their cane-sugar-free frosting mix is changing the game for clean indulgence.

Millions of Americans struggle with financial hoarding…..or the weight of feeling guilt when spending. Much of this stems back to our childhoods, when we were continuously told not to buy things we don't need, to quit spending, to save more, etc. After decades of this narrative, many people haven't developed a healthy relationship with money and live in a perpetual state of guilt, regret, and hoarding. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton addressed this phenomenon head-on and provides simple steps to help overcome it. Even more important, we discuss how to raise our own kids better so they don't experience this later in life.

There are many great Spice Girls songs, but there is only one that altered the trajectory of our musical tastes as cynical young adults in the 1990s. One could argue (and we do) that the whole concept of a "guilt-free pleasure" was born when "Stop" was released. It may have been the first single to not top the U.K. charts for the Spice Girls, but it is nevertheless (arguably) their greatest sonic achievement. Beyond walking through the history of the band and the song, we also get a special message from frequent guest Dr. Nathan Holmes, who is able to get guilt-free and confess his love for great pop music.

Feel free to reach out to me at: tarawest@westwellnessatx.com Follow me on instagram @westwellnessatxThe episode dives deep into the challenges of maintaining healthy habits during the holiday season, with Tara laying out a comprehensive strategy to navigate festive meals without derailing one's health goals. Tara opens with a relatable narrative about her own experiences with holiday preparations, including the joys and frustrations of setting up a Christmas tree. As the holidays bring about rich and often indulgent meals, she transitions into discussing the mental shift required to view nutrition as a lifelong commitment rather than a short-term goal. By prioritizing protein at meals, Tara explains how this simple choice can satiate hunger more effectively and reduce cravings for less nutritious options. She supports her advice with scientific research, illustrating the physiological benefits of a protein-first approach, which stabilizes blood sugar levels and fosters healthier eating patterns. Tara also addresses the psychological aspects of food, emphasizing the importance of moderation and the role of accountability in managing indulgences. Listeners are encouraged to communicate their goals to friends and family, enhancing their commitment to healthier choices amidst seasonal temptations.Takeaways: Prioritize protein at meals to help stabilize blood sugar levels and curb cravings. Stay hydrated before and during meals to aid digestion and reduce overeating. Allow yourself to indulge in holiday treats, but keep portions small and mindful. Don't let one indulgent meal derail your overall health journey; refocus immediately. Engage in light physical activity after meals to help with blood sugar management. Create a plan for the holidays and share it with someone to stay accountable.
