Motivation levels are the highest they'll be all year, and everywhere you look - on TV, social media, or magazines - people are making dramatic fitness goals and lifestyle changes. Unfortunately, at the same time, I'm witnessing a lot of mistakes being made with these new routines. Mistakes that can easily lead to frustration, burnout and even injury.

Congratulations! You've made it to STEP TEN in David's How to Buy a Home series. If anyone knows that you're buying a home, it's likely that they're going to offer you all kinds of advice. Unfortunately, most of it is just dead wrong. This episode is all about learning the market so you can cut through the bull crap advice and feel confident in what you're doing.  Here are some key topics from today's conversation: Why knowing the market is key Timing is everything Not everyone gives good advice More resources to prepare yourself for buying a home Episode Highlights: [02:06] Location, Timing, Timing The most important step to buying a home is understanding the timing. Does this mean that you should “buy low and sell high?” Absolutely not. As David always says, there is no better time than right now to buy a home. But, having a good understanding of the market means that you can get the best deal based on how the current market is going. While buying a home is different every single time, David's rule is to buy your first house based on the current market conditions when you are ready to buy.  [10:44] What You Need to Know There are certain market changes that you should be aware of that can affect when you buy a home. David makes it simple by distilling it down into a list: New down payment assistance programs New loan programs Your credit score Your DTI ratio How sellers are selling This is just the tip of the housing market iceberg. There are so, so many market factors that will affect your ability to buy a home or what homes are available to you.  [17:16] More Resources to Check Out There's a lot to buying a home, but it's a very doable process. This whole series is just a snapshot of the information available. Check out the “How to Buy a Home” podcast library for more informational episodes like this one, or get plugged in with a unicorn realtor and lender if you're ready to take those next steps. 

As I coach women with their fitness and nutrition, I see a lot of anxiety, depression and lowered moods, and even toxic thoughts that begin to creep in and affect women's overall health and outlook. Sound familiar? Many of us women have a silent mess going on inside of our minds. This mental chaos can have a dramatic impact on our daily mood, and how we show up to take care of ourselves and others. The reality is, you can have the perfect routine, the perfect meal plan in place, but if your mind is not in the right space, none of it matters. That's why I invited Dr. Caroline Leaf on the podcast to talk about our brain, our mindset and our thoughts, and specifically how our mind is intimately connected with our physical bodies. Dr. Leaf is one of the world's leading experts on cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology, and is the author of several books including “Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess”. In today's episode, we'll discuss: Increased anxiety and depression in midlife and it's impact on our physical health Neuroplasticity - what is it and what can it do for us? The 5-step process that can help reduce anxiety and depression - and how to apply them to our daily lives The one simple action step you can take TODAY that will make an impact on your own mental mess.

LA-based producer Lars Deutsch recently released a whimsical album called “Boum Dans L'Espace." He also created a series of short videos for the project, inspired by his appreciation for early sci-fi and the slightly out-of-tune. Lars is a two-time Emmy winner whose bio reads like this: "He went from heavy metal guitarist to singer, to songwriter, to a Masters in classical composition, to international performances of his classical works, to lecturing in composition and audio production to scoring three hundred films/commercials that have collected over one hundred awards." Lars' commercial work has been featured in everything from Toyota ads to Stephen King's “The Passenger." You can also hear about his work and working with him in episode 216, featuring singer-songwriter Amiena. Lars and I discuss his new release and video shorts, collecting sounds, retro sci-fi inspirations, the charm of slightly out of tune, the storytelling effect of weirdness & humor, using socials for fun rather than promotion, thoughts on AI in music, artist development, Dolby Atmos, and the biohacking perspective of thinking less.

Johnny Burgin has been making waves in the U.S. and abroad as a blues player entrenched in the Chicago blues style. He has performed and recorded with blues legends like Tail Dragger, Sam Lay, Billy Boy Arnold, and Pinetop Perkins. Johnny made a name for himself in the late 90s in Chicagoland blues clubs, a record deal with Delmark, and several European tours. He plays on average more than 200 shows a year, which is why he has such an appreciation for the stage, audiences, and other blues players.   I performed with Johnny in and around Queretaro last month, the pinnacle of which was a headlining performance at the Queretablues Festival. This week I received a message from Johnny to ask what I thought about doing some shows with him in Mexico City, so to be continued (possibly).   We recorded this conversation at the end of a busy ten days here in Queretaro while enjoying cervezas Bohemia, after which we went out for local cuisine. Johnny was feeling a little off and his last morning with us here in Queretaro, I think he was just experiencing a bit of exhaustion or perhaps still acclimating to our altitude. I've since gathered he made it home feeling great. Johnny is a lot of fun to perform and hang with. He's still showing me the ropes of Chicago blues, which is an exercise in restraint from my improvisational ways. But it's also an education in nuance.   We talk about Queretaro Mexico, The Queretablues Festival, his guitar masterclass (at the Queretablues Festival), his YouTube channel, moving to Memphis, leaving Chicago, and his forthcoming album.

Weightlifting - it's either your favorite way to workout, or you avoid it like the plague. But maybe your reasons for avoiding it are actually myths. There's a lot of conflicting information - and frankly, flat out WRONG information - out there in the world of fitness and nutrition. And none more persistent than some of the false narrative around weightlifting - especially for women. If you've been around here for any amount of time, you know I'm a huge proponent of weight training for women of all ages. But just in case you need a second opinion, I've invited Lesley McShane on the podcast today. Lesley is a podcaster, writer, author, and ACSM certified personal trainer who is fully committed to encouraging middle-aged women to prioritize their fitness and nutrition NOW to feel better and live happier, longer. Her mission is to help women discover that everything they need to create an epic and healthy second half of life already lives inside them. Tune in as Lesley and I sit down and discuss the obstacles many women have to weight training, specifically the BIG 6: the 6 big lies that we tell ourselves about weightlifting. If you've been dragging your feet about lifting weights and just strength training in general, this one's for you.

Elastic eating. I bet you've NEVER heard of this. But this concept and mindset shift is exactly how you should eat to consistently stay healthy without getting obsessed about food or having it dominate your thoughts. And with the holidays upon us, this is the perfect time to swap your “all or nothing” thinking for something more flexible. Today, I am going to teach you all about how to become an “elastic eater”. This is so important if you feel like you're always bouncing from strict, rigid habits (and white knuckling your way through them), to totally loose and haphazard eating… or what you probably refer to as “falling off the wagon”. If nutrition is still a bit of a struggle for you, this episode is for you! More Resources & Links Holiday Splurging Blueprint - FREE Download!! Follow Megan on Instagram

The press release says Bauhaus Staircase is OMD's most explicitly political record; however Andy tells me that art and politics have always been at the forefront of their songwriting themes.   Like many artists, Andy rediscovered his creativity, thanks to the boredom of lockdown. We talk about this, plus their new album, the band's stunning new music videos, memories of the first OMD gig, art, politics, OMD's participation in the forthcoming Dark Waves Festival, Liverpool F.C., and the longevity of his voice.   It was a great pleasure speaking with Andy. Our time went too fast, but what can we do. He's very busy with interviews, concerts and various media projects.    Find the new album and all things OMD at omd.uk.com.

So you're thinking quitting your full-time job and working for yourself. Or maybe you've already decided that the corporate life isn't for you and you have a passion project that could become a full-fledged business. What do you need to consider before you walk away from your corporate career? Have you thought about the financial risks, how you'll find community or mentorship, or what your future would look like with less of a roadmap? This week on New Here, we follow Jemma Sbeg as she leaves her successful consulting career to pursue her passion project—her now-hit podcast, The Psychology of your 20s. Host Elainy Mata interviews Jemma on her first day of working for herself—to learn how she made the decision to leave her full-time job and what her hopes and fears are for her new work life. Then Elainy and Jemma have a second conversation after Jemma's been working on her own for five months. You'll learn which of Jemma's fears were warranted, how she battled loneliness, managed her money, and whether or not she is actually happier working for herself. Have a career question? Let us know at NewHere@HBR.org. Key topics include: entrepreneurship, career transitions, managing yourself, careers. More Resources:· Should you quit your 9-5?

It's easy to jump into a new habit or lifestyle change with excitement and motivation. This is the time I'm going to stick with it and things are really going to change!

This is a rewind episode featuring blues guitarist Johnny Burgin. What is a rewind episode? It's a previously published episode, one of my favorites, and one that I think merits re-publishing. I give these episodes a fresh edit, which means you will find it even more enjoyable from a listening perspective. Johnny Burgin, the coast-to-coast (intercontinental) Chicago blues man, first appeared in episode 31 back in December of 2017. We performed a house concert on February 11 2020 at Tranquilo Retreat in Panama. He's coming to Querétaro to perform the 9th annual Querétablues Festival, which you can find on Facebook @BluesFestQro. I have the honor of being part of his band for the festival. We'll also do some private shows and one secret show while he's here.  My conversation with Johnny was truly great. I'm so happy I re-listened to it for this special rewind edition. Johnny is the real deal where blues guitar is concerned. We discuss his history as a musician, and his philosophy on blues, music, and the stage. We also talk about some of his international tour adventures, relationships with blues players in Chicago, Silicon Valley, and around the world, Pinetop Perkins, the Chicago Blues Festival, and more. Find Johnny's upcoming tour dates and music at JohnnyBurgin.com. Please enjoy this rewind conversation with Johnny Burgin.

We often spend a lot of time building our strength or improving our cardiovascular health - but what about our balance? Balance is one of the 6 important aspects of fitness, but it's often completely overlooked and not intentionally trained, until you realize how bad it is! Crystal trains with me, and asks: “I started Jumpstart30 at the beginning of the year, then Jumpstart60, and now I'm in GetStrongX. Despite doing this for awhile now (and loving it, btw!) I'm still super wobbly with any kind of single leg deadlift. I can't do any version of them without holding onto something to keep from falling over. Any tips on how I can improve my ability to do this exercise?” In this shortie episode, I'll break down the two types of balance and how to start improving them both. Then we'll walk through those pesky single leg deadlifts, and I'll show you how to stay balanced while performing them - and how those balance strategies translate to other exercises as well!

Life is a full-contact sport. And many professions can take an even greater physical toll on your entire body. Being a nurse, teacher, doctor, dental hygienist, holding a desk job, even being a mom can begin to cause chronic pain and affect your quality of life. This week I'm sitting down with MaryEllen Kiser, a 49-year-old teacher and mother of two, who struggled with excruciating back and hip pain for years. Despite her own best efforts and the help of specialists, she couldn't find relief for her pain. Her journey from suffering to healing is filled with twists and turns - determination, frustration, discouragement, and ultimately HOPE. If you or someone you love are going through a season of physical pain and the idea of relief feels hopeless, listen to MaryEllen's story. Her experience may just be the hope you need to discover healing for your own physical pain.

One of the best voices in rock has been used to describe J.R. Richards. He's the original singer of Dishwalla, one of my favorite bands to emerge in the 90s. Richards has sold millions of records, written some chart-topping hits and has toured globally. Perhaps his most noteworthy accomplishment was writing "Counting Blue Cars," which he performed and recorded with Dishwalla. That song won the Billboard "Rock Song of the Year" award in 1996 and two ASCAP awards for "Song of The Year" in 1997 and 1998.   Richards has also recorded a few solo albums and is on the cusp of releasing his next album, the 10th in his career. I only recently became acquainted with his solo work because I was looking for an acoustic cover of "Counting Blue Cars" for an acoustic 80s/90s covers project. I found an acoustic version, but when I saw the singer on that acoustic version, it occurred to me that it wasn't the original guy. Down the rabbit hole, I went. I don't know who the new singer is. He's good, but I'm definitely partial to Richards' voice. So I found his solo work, website and lots of other info about him that I never knew. I loved Dishwalla, but I'm not what you'd call a super fan. I lost track of the band after they stopped releasing new stuff.   But I am a big fan, so I was stoked when JR agreed to an interview. Speaking with him was kinda weird. The time passed so quickly! I spend most of our time nerding out with him about e-commerce, the importance of email lists and other topics I typically pursue on the podcast. I ended up with several questions that we never got to. The other thing is that he's a 'normal' person, a dad and husband; a very talented normal person, but just a guy.    I don't know what I expected, but I enjoyed speaking with him. Richards is as kind and humble as any other indie musician I've ever had on the podcast. We talked about Dishwalla, his forthcoming record, email marketing, e-commerce, touring, adapting to changes in music, Spotify Discovery Mode, SOME of his work as a producer, what he's got cooking in the near future, and more.    Find everything JR is up to at JRRrichardsMusic.com.

Susan Rogers teaches Music Production and Engineering at The Berklee College of Music (Berklee Online). She holds a doctorate in psychology from McGill University, where she studied music cognition and psychoacoustics. Her research focuses on auditory memory, the perception of musical signals, and the influence of musical training on auditory development.  For two decades before her science career, Rogers was one of the few women known for her work as a record producer, engineer, mixer, and audio electronics technician. Susan's career highlights include years (1983–1988) as a staff engineer for recording artist Prince, also working with Barenaked Ladies, David Byrne, Tricky, and Tevin Campbell. My guest relations advisor sent me an NPR interview with Susan in which she talks about her book "This Is What It Sounds Like: What The Music You Love Says About You." After learning about the book and her career, I invited Susan to the podcast, and she graciously accepted. My research for this interview involved checking out some of Susan's other interviews. I noticed she always gets guestions about Prince. Leading up to the interview, I figured she'd talked about Prince ad nauseam, but then I realized she loves discussing this part of her career. She feels lucky to have worked with Prince and wants to help keep his legacy alive. Even so, I didn't want to focus too much on Prince, but I did plan one Prince-question, so we did talk about him. We also talk about the neuroscience of music preferences, analyzing the techniques of Frank Sinatra, the progression of production approaches, leaving the music business for academia, working with Barenaked Ladies, how music functions for listeners today, and much more.

Garry Peterson is a founding member and drummer of The Guess Who. Garry has been making music for over six decades. Garry also performed with Bachman Turner Overdrive, during their support of the Van Halen 5150 Tour, a show I attended long ago. He has to his credit fifteen albums that have charted on the Billboard 200, fourteen singles that have charted on Billboard's Top 40, including two #1's, three Gold Singles, and three Gold Albums as certified by RIAA.   Garry plays drums on their new album Plein D' Amour and plans to record on the next Guess Who album. He still tours with the band, which promoted me to tell him that he is practically a Rolling Stone. He reminded me that he his music career started around the same time as The Stones. We discuss his long career, the new Guess Who album, the band history, his drum gear, facts versus fiction about The Guess Who, Garry's advice to young players, and more.   I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with Garry. He is such a nice guy. We experienced some connectivity issues that resulted in a slightly lower audio quality than I strive to provide you with, but I'm confident that you will still get a great deal of enjoyment and value from our conversation.   Hear the new album by The Guess Who at TheGuessWho.com and music services everywhere.

Listen in as the tables are turned, and I'M INTERVIEWED by Dr. Tabatha Barber on the Gutsy Gynecologist podcast! She asked me why women often have such a strong negative association with exercise, and why, because of that, we struggle with motivation and consistency.
