We'll talk about the mindset shifts that make all the difference and the science-backed methods that help you lose weight and keep it off.Because here's the truth—your future isn't something you wait for; it's something you create.

I work solely on the Squarespace platform and have embraced its esthetic beauty and ease of use. I work with people who have a strong vision for their business and I simply unearth what makes them shine. I tell your brand story through the same processes I used as a former newspaper reporter. I currently have a waitlist for website design projects, but you can reserve your place here.   Squarespace Circle Member Squarespace Authorized Trainer Background and philosophy   Better every day. That's the way I aspire to live.   I was born in 1973 in Philadelphia. My parents immigrated from Taipei and my dad's first job out of graduate school was in Philadelphia. I'm a die-hard Eagles fan and being raised in that city has shaped my identity. Hip-hop culture served as my first artistic influence. Run-DMC, Public Enemy and the Beastie Boys shaped how I created my own environment.   During the summer of O.J. trial I interned at the Philadelphia Daily News. I became hooked on journalism. I went on to another internship at the Des Moines Register and started my career as a business reporter for the Times of Trenton. I was the arts editor for the Honolulu Weekly and then the film critic for the Harrisburg Patriot-News.   Website design   I could see the end of the print industry so I decided to get a professional certificate in digital marketing from New York University. I started an agency with a partner doing SEO, PPC , content creation and website design. My partner decided to focus on software development and I turned my attention to website design.   Today I help small business owners shine online with compelling websites to resonate with their target audiences.   Personal interests   I'm a fitness enthusiast (CrossFit), watch collector (14060M, PAM112, SBGA085), and father (Matthew and Noemi).     Stay Connected: Benoy Thanjan Email: info@reneuenergy.com  LinkedIn: Benoy Thanjan Website: https://www.reneuenergy.com   Li Wang Email:  li@littleoxworkshop.com Website:  https://www.littleoxworkshop.com     Book Recommendations George Lucas: A Life by Brian Jay Jones   https://www.amazon.com/George-Lucas-Brian-Jay-Jones-ebook/dp/B01DSTTRBW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1RBXXD7XKH43Y&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.-IoPSlTJA5SNa2QBh6cfyG75T1muc08nEtyk-Xm4ULq6hohaS7ohX9zo6eAXsh9duyxUDygHDy43QZwusNtOBpIDp019XuhNKrAiGhJ6dUN4uS6vXPtfxvhfYMvkm_amPYdRWsYF9Pl16rqzdE6vJ65eKWhxQlEYSldTgD_e6c1kVrOFUKiALgl1FppeMDYPVlAKggKEBLUPbF5ZDfip8Tl0PO5SnMj1TN7Vn8wd9Jg.3kIAOYFE-qXr6_u1jEkilLJsWqPkXPqb-_ytmG0gSEM&dib_tag=se&keywords=george+lucas+book&qid=1741022082&sprefix=george+lucas%2Caps%2C183&sr=8-1     How to Start Worry and Start Living by Dale Carnegie https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000N3SO9I/?bestFormat=true&k=how%20to%20start%20worrying%20and%20start%20living&ref_=nb_sb_ss_w_scx-ent-pd-bk-d_de_k0_1_16&crid=2YEBAKJ2VEJW2&sprefix=how%20ot%20start%20wor     Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones by James Clear https://www.amazon.com/Atomic-Habits-Proven-Build-Break-ebook/dp/B07D23CFGR/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1EFELZ83PXDEE&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.y8ep0gjO0LaPjilbBqM79Xc2YZxFFvDOy7Lc27uggak-q5YmV5RsUlyRu-CTr0npJ0gRUx0ASicl9MOtJyk6fGTJ0Xxd_XDVFXJvb0BcmZ6vwNqmBzA93KU45puZNkdVopAqqtIUFTo2KYCA7-FJzr0371JvAVDlwQ7CSTShNRN-ggiCHNBVjWziBnegWzCkyP-xlax-3lklbAtiFh-3vYOZr3tuO8IgL4BHttFHJEE.ZO5fa3V0ar5nZ8XBYE6kqezA8wGK2ShncgzV9u9TqEY&dib_tag=se&keywords=atomic+habits&qid=1741022424&sprefix=atomic%2Caps%2C232&sr=8-1     The Millionaire Fastlane: Crack the Code to Wealth and Live Rich for a Lifetime by MJ DeMarco https://www.amazon.com/Millionaire-Fastlane-Crack-Wealth-Lifetime-ebook/dp/B004BDOUAI/ref=sr_1_1?crid=K46KWSB09QMW&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.z4MidZRm4ZWE0T1HY7abuwdeo5CqTw10yZQVXYGCxm9DNaZTpMC_23RRaoL8h8-wnOy1BK3Rov0urj7ai8FISV54JO5KAlx_iBOMAydfX0zeWL6hKJ_oLbsHJeVGcFjo4joyU6H5OKeK8ncIQ0RuZJ7j-2v4TCrfEL6JYdeweYwUDkMM9L0DSV3B7BDed7DnYCVgfMJgzBXhqTvYNwjOuimnJsQA-aMtW7OYgz8Zvts.tSyBkDMxEzpxkotL3Me02V25R6WP4caU8e66-MLlea0&dib_tag=se&keywords=millionaire+fastlane+by+mj+demarco&qid=1741022902&sprefix=milionair+f%2Caps%2C180&sr=8-1       Thought Leaders in Renewable Energy on Linkedin   Abby Hopper   https://www.linkedin.com/in/abby-hopper-a3415527/   Jigar Shah https://www.linkedin.com/in/jigarshahdc/   John Moran https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-moran-03a3b3a/

In this episode, Stephanie Mitchell, a certified personal trainer (CPT) and the inspiring wellness coach behind Stephanie Mitchell Fitness, joins us for a discussion around how women can prioritize wellness through the complex journey of perimenopause and menopause. In our conversation, Stephanie shares insights on staying connected to our "why" in our wellness routines, staying resilient as our bodies change, and building community as a powerful support network during this phase of life.Stephanie is a dedicated wellness, meditation and fitness professional who helps women to become stronger and more mindful so they may live their most fearless life, especially during their perimenopausal and menopausal years. Through a balanced and holistic approach to wellness, she helps women discover what's right for them when it comes to changing up their routine when they reach midlife. Topics covered in this episode:Build the life you want moving forward: One of Stephanie's key insights is that motivation to stay active and healthy shouldn't come from a desire to “get back” to our past selves but to build the life we want moving forward. Too often, we focus on goals like losing weight or looking younger, but Stephanie encourages women to go deeper and ask, "Why do I want this?" Whether it's the energy to keep up with family or the strength to pursue new adventures, finding a motivating factor for the future helps us prioritize what truly matters.Small sustainable changes to build systems: Stephanie is a firm believer in small, sustainable changes over extreme, quick-fix solutions. Drawing inspiration from James Clear's book, "Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad One", she encourages clients to build systems, like starting their day with just the act of putting on workout clothes before progressing to a workout routine. This approach keeps us from feeling overwhelmed and leads to long-lasting, positive changes in how we care for ourselves.Community's role in keeping healthy habits: Whether we need to get healthy or maintain our health, community can play such an essential role in sticking with healthy habits. Studies show that people who exercise with friends or in groups are more likely to maintain a consistent routine. Whether working one-on-one with a trainer or joining a group class, community can provide accountability, encouragement, and a much-needed sense of camaraderie. Connect with StephanieWebsite: https://www.stephaniemitchellfitness.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephanie-mitchell-074497335/ Instagram: @stephaniemitchellfitness Your Empowered Evolution, A Podcast Dedicated to Women in Mid-Life Podcast

In this episode, Shannon Waller and guest Steve Heroux discuss the importance of sales coaching and understanding Sales DNA profiles. Steve addresses the negative perceptions of sales and the challenges entrepreneurs face in hiring effective salespeople, and offers actionable insights to transform sales culture. Tune in for a fresh perspective on finding and nurturing great sales talent! Download Episode Transcript Show Notes: Effective sales coaching is essential for developing a high-performing sales team and should focus on individual strengths and weaknesses. Understanding the Sales DNA profile can help identify the unique strengths of salespeople, allowing for tailored coaching and training strategies. The sales profession often suffers from a negative perception, with many seeing salespeople as pushy or manipulative, which can hinder effective selling. Sales leaders play a crucial role in shaping the culture and practices of their sales teams. Poor leadership can perpetuate negative stereotypes about sales. Finding the right salespeople is challenging, which means entrepreneurs must prioritize hiring individuals who align with the company's values and customer needs. One-size-fits-all training programs are ineffective. Custom training based on the Sales DNA profile can lead to better results. Trust is a critical component in sales. Building genuine relationships with clients can counteract the negative stereotypes associated with sales. Many entrepreneurs struggle with sales because they excel in product development but lack sales expertise, leading to potential business failures. Defining an ideal customer profile helps sales teams focus their efforts on prospects that are more likely to convert and benefit from the product or service. Teaching salespeople to say no to unsuitable prospects is vital; just because someone is willing to buy doesn't mean they should. Salespeople are motivated by personal goals and family needs. Leaders should align company objectives with these motivations to foster engagement. There is a need for a cultural shift in how sales is perceived and practiced, moving away from aggressive tactics to a more consultative approach. Providing sales teams with the right tools and resources, including training and technology, is essential for empowering them to succeed. The sales landscape is constantly evolving; ongoing training and development is necessary to keep sales teams competitive. Focusing on building long-term relationships with clients rather than short-term sales can lead to greater success and customer loyalty.

Atomic Habits For Transformation – the topic of today's episode. I've decided to share with you thoughts and ideas from James Clear's book, Atomic Habits. The subtitle is, An Easy and Proven Way to Build Good Habits and Break Bad Ones. This book has been recommended by dozens of guests who have been featured on Mindfulness Mode. Do you find yourself being challenged with unproductive habits? Do you set out to cultivate positive habits that promise to transform your life, only to find them slipping away? In Atomic Habits, James Clear illuminates the profound impact the right habits can have on your life. To truly harness this power, you need to delve into the mechanics of how habits work and how to reshape them. When you read this book, you'll realize that James deeply understands habits and how they work. Listen & Subscribe on: iTunes / Stitcher / Podbean / Overcast / Spotify Contact Info Website: www.MindfulnessMode.com Atomic Habits, the book, will help you uncover the critical importance of habits and the three mindsets essential for cultivating them. You'll also learn about the formation of habits and the four crucial strategies for altering them. Moreover, you'll find strategies to refine and enhance the habits you've already established continuously. If you read this book, you'll learn about insights from other psychologists and experts on habit formation, exploring how Clear's ideas resonate with or differ from theirs.   Law 1 – Make It Obvious To build and break habits effectively, awareness is crucial. Human minds respond to cues, leading to automatic behaviors. For example, museum curators can identify authentic art due to repeated exposure and subtle cues. Harness this by using habit scorecards, checklists of daily activities categorized as positive, negative, or neutral. This helps identify patterns that aid or hinder progress. By listing and rating your habits, you can understand how your behaviors impact productivity and become more aware of their triggers. This awareness is the first step to making your desired habits obvious and actionable. Law 2 – Make It Attractive In his second law, James Clear explains that habits operate on a dopamine-driven feedback loop, where increased dopamine levels enhance the urge to act due to reward anticipation. He suggests using temptation bundling, pairing a desired activity with a necessary one. For example, designate work blocks and reward yourself with a favorite podcast during breaks. Combine this with habit stacking for greater effect: after completing a current habit, follow with a necessary task, then a desired reward. Surround yourself with positive influences to boost motivation. To break bad habits, shift your mindset from “have to” to “get to,” associating difficult habits with positive experiences. Law 3 – Make It Easy “The most effective form of learning is practice, not planning.” Repeating a habit solidifies it in your brain, leading to physical changes and increased efficiency. Clear emphasizes that frequency matters more than duration in habit formation. Humans prefer the path of least effort, making environmental shifts crucial. For example, when introducing new software, ease the transition with training and support. The two-minute rule suggests starting new habits with tasks under two minutes, like reading a page daily. To break bad habits, make them impractical; use tools like app blockers to limit distractions. These strategies simplify habit formation and disruption. Law 4 – Make It Satisfying You are more likely to repeat a behavior if it is satisfying. Clear explains that humans prioritize immediate rewards over delayed ones. The key to behavior change is that “what is immediately rewarded is repeated; what is immediately punished is avoided.” To make habits stick, you must feel an immediate sense of success. Applying Clear's laws—making habits obvious, appealing, and effortless—increases your chances of repeating them. For instance, rewarding yourself with a smoothie after exercising links the activity to a positive experience, encouraging repetition. Use a habit tracker to visualize progress and consider an accountability partner to stay motivated and committed. Summary In Atomic Habits, James Clear emphasizes the importance of creating identity-driven habits for lasting behavior change. Unlike goal-driven habits, which often lead to temporary actions, identity-driven habits align with your self-image, fostering sustainable change. Clear argues that focusing on who you want to become rather than what you want to achieve ensures continuous improvement. For example, if you study two extra hours daily to ace a test, this goal-driven habit ends once the goal is met. However, by adopting the identity of a dedicated learner, you continuously engage in study habits, leading to overall academic improvement. This shift from finite goals to ongoing identity transformation is key to developing enduring, positive habits. I hope these highlights from James Clears' book are helpful for you and inspire you to get the book and read it.

I am on my head, and emotions scare me to death. I have big ones because I'm also an empath. I learned from a counselor that my emotions are like a screen door. Allow the wind to blow through, and don't try to close the door; just let it blow through. If you don't, the door will come off its hinges, and you will have problems. I see my emotions as waves. Sometimes, the waves are big, but the easiest way to survive a big wave is to stand there and let it hit you and then come back up. Thoughts On Breathing Box breathing is very helpful. I also get heart palpitations. One of the first YouTube videos I put out there is about how to manage the anxiety that I've had for years. I often lie down and breathe. Box breathing is helpful, but I can also hyperventilate easily. So I lay down, breathe straight from my belly, think about it, and count my numbers. It is amazing how quickly that calms my nervous system. Bullying Story I was the chubby kid. I grew up overseas, and my parents were missionaries. So, I went to an international School in Seoul, Korea. In the 1970s, obesity was not what it is now. We didn't understand it or have as much of it. Being the chubby kid, I was always picked on. I was not bullied the way we see it happen in severe cases. A kid came behind me in 5th grade and stomped his feet as if I was shaking the ground as I walked. He was much smaller than me, so I turned around and leveled him. In a situation like that, it would have been nice to have had some mindfulness and to be able to say this is his issue, not mine. But at 10 years old, you don't have that.

Harv Eker Effect On Emotions Since I've coached so many people, I feel like I've learned the skills to be able to automatically go there. Obviously, when it comes to personal relationships like marriage, everything's a little bit heightened. With friends, you can operate in one world. With parents, siblings, your wife, your husband, you're needing to set a different skill set and have boundaries. In business I can handle emotions very calmly. Thoughts On Breathing When I was teaching acting, breathing was definitely an element of it. Many times I will find myself not breathing enough. I will say to even clients when they're going in. Let's say they're auditioning for a big series when they're actors. It is important that you actually shift the other person's breathing. I found that if you're intentional about going into any meeting, if you can shift the other person's breathing within the meeting, you've connected on a whole different level. Bullying Story I've seen a lot of kids that have been bullied in the process. I had one actor whose friends at school did not appreciate his acting and they would gang up on him and make fun of him because he was not playing sports. We had to come up with a plan. He ultimately had to be removed from the school he was attending and move to another school where he could be in a creative arts program.

This is an exclusive limited-time bonus episode, a unique opportunity that won't stay up on my podcast feed forever. So, make sure you seize this special moment and share it with all your friends. Remember, on Thursday, April 11, it will be going back into the vault.  This is an audio replay of the free masterclass that I taught this past week, designed with your busy Mom-life in mind. Whether you missed the live session or this is your first time hearing about it, this audio recording of the class is here to cater to your schedule and needs. At the end of the class, you'll hear me talk about my Declutter Your Motherhood Audio Course, and I wanted to make sure you know that I'm doing a special Spring promotion on that course right now. If you sign up by 9:00 pm on Wednesday, April 10, you will get free access to a five-week accountability group that I am hosting in April and May. You will get to join me live on Zoom once a week so I can answer your questions about the course content, and you can connect with and learn from other intentional mothers who are going through the course, too. This is a perfect bonus if you are someone who generally needs some outside accountability and deadlines instead of a purely self-paced offering, and I am so excited to get to do this live group with you! Sign up for the course at 3in30podcast.com/declutter. Can't wait to see you there!
