In this episode of The Tim Macy Show we chat with Krys Benyamein, who is an individual who believes in the power of authenticity and genuine connection. With a no-nonsense approach, Krys dives straight into the heart of the matter, urging others to embrace the "hokey stuff" that agents often overlook. Recognizing that focusing solely on tactics may hinder success, Krys and Tim emphasize the importance of embracing the emotions and mindset that enable consistency in implementing these strategies. In a world where the mind often holds us back from taking action, Krys encourages others to lean into the so-called "hokey stuff" that allows for the application of proven tactics. By addressing the mental barriers that prevent us from achieving our goals, Tim and Krys help in recognizing the generosity and giving nature that already exists within each of us. Listeners can gain valuable advice on how to navigate the challenges and opportunities present in their professional lives. With a belief in the power of authenticity and a focus on the underlying factors that drive success, Krys Benyamein is a guiding voice for those seeking to reach their full potential.

Today episode I interviewed Nutritionist Rachel Katz. My passion for health and overall well-being stems from her history of mental health issues such as an eating disorder, depression, anxiety, OCD, and an unhealthy relationship with food and myself. She believes that healthy food, physical activity, and meditation can be used to treat or minimize symptoms of any illness, both physical and mental. Rachel's philosophy when it comes to eating healthy means not giving up any of your favorite foods, but rather learning how to make healthier versions of them, which is my true passion. Rachel teaches you how delicious, fun, and rewarding a healthy lifestyle can be. Food should be used as medicine, but it should also be enjoyable. If you live in the LA Area check her out and join her for one of her events.
