Today's conversation breaks down how perfectionism quietly stalls momentum by pulling attention into small details while the bigger goal slips further away.

Most people wake up already stressed—and don't even realize it. What if just 5 minutes every morning could completely change how your body and mind feel all day? Life responsibilities have placed most of us in a constant rush and stress, without a moment to breathe. Such a lifestyle significantly affects our chiropractic principles and the foundation of our practice. However, what if I told you, you can change this in 2026 with just 5 minutes of a mindful morning routine, completely transform your day, and enjoy the best version of you in the new year? Mornings set the tone for the rest of the day. If you form a habit of starting your day with calmness, intention, and clarity, you will realize that you stay more focused, handle challenges better, and feel emotionally stronger. And the good news is that you only need 5 minutes every morning to make a difference. Here is the 5-minute morning formula to help you start your day like the 2026 version of you: 1.      Move Before Your Phone Did you know that just 60-90 seconds of mobility or stretching can completely boost your energy? Movement in the morning helps increase blood flow and naturally energizes your body. As soon as you wake up, don't rush to reach for your phone. Instead, gently stretch your body. You can do this by reaching up towards the ceiling, twisting your torso side to side, and touching your toes. That stretch wakes up your muscles and sends signals to your brain that it's time to activate. You can also adopt 20 squats or 10 push-ups, depending on your workout objective. 2.      Hydrate on Purpose We've all probably heard experts emphasize the importance of proper hydration in the morning. Ever wondered why it's important to hydrate in the morning? Well, when sleeping, we tend to lose a lot of fluids through sweating, breathing, and minor movements. This can lead to dehydration upon waking, which can impair cognitive function, affect our moods, and slow the body's metabolism. Therefore, drinking water first thing in the morning before caffeine helps fire up your metabolism for the day, clears out morning brain fog, and sets a positive tone for the day. Morning hydration helps guide and regulate your body and mind, lowering the chances of mid-morning brain fog or irritability. Consider taking 10–12 oz of water before caffeine to start the day well hydrated. 3.      One Good Thought This could be a gratitude, intention, or "identity statement". Take a minute in the morning to write down a list of everything that you are grateful for at that moment. Starting your day with a gratitude list helps you see all the good things you are grateful for. A gratitude list works like a self-reflection that triggers positive feelings for the day ahead and greatly reduces feelings of stress and anxiety, and helps train your brain to become more optimistic. Another morning formula you should consider adopting to set your energy level high in 2026 is to set an intention for the day ahead. You can achieve this by thinking about the day's objective that you need the most to focus on. The intention can range from a simple mantra, such as "Today is a great day," to a quote or an excerpt from a book you're currently reading or a podcast you are listening to. It should be something that inspires and speaks to you. Once you have your intention for the day, repeat it to yourself a few times.  You can also consider adopting an "identity statement" that focuses on who you are becoming through your actions, defining yourself by your consistent behaviors. An example of an identity statement is "I am a resilient individual who perseveres through challenges and builds strength with each effort." Adopting one good thought helps rewire your brain to focus on the positive rather than jumping straight into negativity and anxiety. 4.      One Small Action Toward a Goal Decide on the goal for the day and go for it. Ensure that it is something achievable yet meaningful. For instance, if you intend to send an important email and exercise, proceed to schedule and block your calendar for the day's activities. This should take approximately 3 minutes. Setting clear, actionable goals with scheduled implementation time helps your mind to stay focused instead of getting lost in endless to-do lists. 5.      Open Your Day, Don't React to It Once you've established your morning routine, stick to it. Jumping straight into reading emails and texts may trigger anxiety and stress, which may negatively affect the day's energy. When you wake up, focus on your 5-minute morning formula to help set the right energy for the day, then work on the emails and texts at the scheduled time. Try this 5-minute morning formula for 7 days and notice how your body, energy, and mindset shift.

I'm sitting down with microbiome expert Kiran Krishnan to explore a question I see come up all the time: why do hormones sometimes stop responding the way they used to? But what if the real issue isn't your hormones at all, rather what's happening in your gut? In this episode, we dig into the powerful gut-hormone connection. How can gut bacteria influence estrogen metabolism, inflammation, weight gain, and even mood? Why do so many women struggle more during perimenopause and menopause despite "doing all the right things"? We also talk about why hormone therapy sometimes backfires, how gut dysfunction quietly drives symptoms, and what most people completely miss when trying to "fix" hormones. If you've ever felt like your body is working against you, this conversation may change how you see everything. In this episode, we uncover: How your gut microbiome directly affects estrogen metabolism and hormone balance. Why inflammation and gut permeability sabotage hormone therapy results. What happens to the gut during perimenopause and menopause. How gut health influences weight gain, mood, and metabolic slowdown. Why fixing hormones often fails without addressing the gut first. Check out this episode to hear how supporting your gut may be the missing link to finally feeling better!     Sponsors Coupon KM20 to get 20% off your order of Vitali Skin Care!

Why do the same relationship struggles keep showing up — passivity, fear of speaking up, emotional shutdown, or attraction to unavailable partners?

Over the holidays, we're looking back at some of the best episodes of 2025. As in July, Canada's restricted dairy market was recently raised again by U.S. officials who say it stands in the way of ending disputes and settling trade deals. This summer, Brian spoke with Martha Hall Findlay about how Ottawa's refusal to liberate our globally detested supply-management system from trade negotiations continues to hurt our economic potential while causing endless headaches with major trading partners — all to benefit of a few thousand dairy-farmer millionaires. In this episode, Hall Findlay explains how this small cartel works, why it's so powerful and why it hurts not just consumers, but every other trade-exposed Canadian business.

They share personal stories (including Colin's car-buying nightmare) and practical advice for aligning sales with your desired customer experience. If you want to sell AND build trust, this episode is for you. Best Quote of the Episode: "If you can't proudly stand behind the experience you're creating, you've got a problem." — Colin Shaw Key Takeaways: ✅ Traditional closing techniques can damage trust, even when they maybe effective ✅ Sales incentives often conflict with customer experience goals ✅ Leadership must deliberately define the experience they want to deliver ✅ Culture matters: a sales-first mentality breeds silos and resentment ✅ Aligning sales and CX is essential for long-term success, not just short-term gains

You can have the clearest goals, the strongest mindset, and the best strategy… and still feel stuck, burnt out, overwhelmed, or like you're moving in circles. That's because most blocks don't live in your conscious mind. They live in your subconscious and nervous system. In today's episode, we're going beyond surface-level limiting beliefs and diving into the hidden ways your subconscious may be sabotaging your success—not because you're broken, but because your system is simply just trying to keep you safe. If you've ever felt like:   you know what to do but can't follow through success feels heavy instead of exciting or manifestation feels harder than it "should" This episode will help you uncover what's really holding you back—and how to begin healing it so you can attract the abundance you desire with ease.   Links: The Empowered Women's Collective Your Limitless Adventures Group Trips Connect With Me: Instagram: @macs_explore Threads: @macs_exploreaee

Cloud seeding is a decades-old rain-making technology, and it's making a comeback in drought-stricken western states. Utah is partnering with a startup called Rainmaker as they try to stabilize the Great Salt Lake, assisted by drones and AI. But those efforts are colliding with weather conspiracy theories that have only gotten more persistent after some blamed Rainmaker for deadly floods in Texas last year. Jessica Mendoza spoke to the company's CEO Agustus Doricko about their projects, and WSJ's Kris Maher explains the growing movement for states to ban weather modification despite scientific consensus.

What is your body posture, gestures, and place at the table, say about you?In this episode, we sit down with Tatiana Teppoeva, founder of One Nonverbal Ecosystems, to explore the often-overlooked leadership skill that silently shapes credibility, trust, and influence: nonverbal communication.Tatiana breaks down how body language, tone, posture, space, and presence account for the majority of how leaders are perceived—often outweighing the words they carefully prepare. Drawing on her background in tech, data science, and human behavior, she explains why leaders unintentionally sabotage their authority and how small, intentional shifts can dramatically elevate executive presence. Key Talking Points• Why 50–70% of communication is nonverbal—and why most leaders ignore it• The nine core elements of nonverbal communication (beyond body language)• Common nonverbal mistakes that quietly undermine credibility and trust• Why copying other leaders' body language often backfires• How misalignment between words and body language erodes trust• A simple self-assessment exercise to immediately improve presenceEpisode Timestamps00:00 – Introduction & why nonverbal behavior matters in leadership05:10 – Why nonverbal communication makes up the majority of influence07:30 – What “Nonverbal Ecosystems” really means10:40 – The nine elements of nonverbal communication leaders overlook19:30 – Nonverbal behaviors that damage credibility fast24:00 – Why women often undermine their own presence without realizing it26:00 – Trust breakdown: when words and nonverbal cues don't align28:45 – Why people believe nonverbal signals over spoken words33:00 – Tatiana's “Five High-Stakes Signals to Master” guide35:00 – One powerful exercise every leader should try immediately36:30 – Final insights on awareness, feedback, and leadership growthKey Takeaway - Leadership presence isn't about saying more—it's about aligning what you say with what your body, voice, and behavior are already communicating. When leaders master nonverbal intelligence, they earn trust faster, communicate more clearly, and lead with greater impact.Download Tatiana's guide: Five High-Stakes Signals to Master at www.tatianateppoeva.com/decode Learn more about Tatiana Teppoeva and her work at www.tatianateppoeva.com If you lead teams, present regularly, or want to strengthen your executive presence, subscribe, download, and share this episode with a colleague.

It has been said that if the enemy can't get to us, then he will attack our relationships.

In this episode, Ben Azadi breaks down the 10 critical carnivore mistakes that keep people inflamed, tired, constipated, and stuck. After coaching more than 10,000 people through carnivore resets, Ben reveals why carnivore works beautifully for 30 to 90 days — but backfires when done incorrectly. You'll learn: • Why long-term carnivore can lower thyroid function, reduce microbial diversity, raise stress hormones, and stall progress.• The proper metabolic preparation before starting carnivore (low carb → keto → carnivore).• The hidden inflammation caused by pasteurized dairy — and why goat, sheep, and raw A2 dairy are superior.• Exactly how to break carnivore without wrecking your gut, including the 72-hour reintroduction rule.• The difference between clean animal fats and inflammatory PUFA-heavy meats.• How to hit the right protein target to avoid muscle loss and metabolic slowdown.• The importance of nose-to-tail nutrition and where to source clean meats.• Why electrolytes are non-negotiable and the signs you're depleted.• How stress, sleep, and cortisol determine whether carnivore works at all.• The reminder that carnivore is a tool — not the whole toolbox. Ben also answers listener questions about constipation, duration of carnivore, and why a minority of people truly thrive long-term.

Today I'm sharing a discovery that made me pause and think. While reading in my new office — which still feels surreal to say — I came across the idea of sponsoring thoughts. These are the deeper beliefs underneath our everyday thoughts…the ones that quietly shape our choices, expectations, and results. A Facebook post about craft show sales opened my eyes even more. In the comments, I saw so many different beliefs running the show — fear, doubt, comparison, frustration. And I realized how often we all carry thoughts that never really belonged to us in the first place. In this episode, I walk through what sponsoring thoughts are, how they influence our vibration and results, and why two people can live through the same experience yet have completely different outcomes. I share a personal example from my Black Friday sale this year and how shifting my beliefs — and trusting my team — helped us create the best results we've ever had, even in a season where many were struggling. We talk about absolute versus relative truth, and how universal laws remind us that we don't experience life as it is…we experience life as we are. Together, we look at how to uncover old beliefs, question them, and choose thoughts that support the life we want to create. When we shift the thought beneath the thought, something inside us rises. New doors open. Possibility returns. And we see that we're not stuck with the stories we were handed. I close today's conversation with an invitation to reflect on your own sponsoring thoughts — especially the ones that are ready to evolve. Share your thoughts on our website at OurReimaginedLife.com, comment under this episode and tell me:If you could choose a new sponsoring thought today, what would it be? I love you, and I'm grateful we're walking this journey together. Until next time…

Join us for an informative discussion with John De Goey, a professional portfolio manager, published author, and dedicated advocate for financial consumers. John shares his journey into finance, which was fueled by a desire to challenge the "amoral" practices of the financial services industry and protect consumers from misleading information. This advocacy is the foundation of his work and his books, including his latest, Bullshift: How Optimism Bias Threatens Your Finances. We discuss the core problem: both advisors and investors often fall victim to cognitive biases, believing things "for sure that just ain't so". John explains that the industry benefits from keeping clients "bullish," leading people to ignore high debt, expensive markets, and other warning signs. To combat this, he champions Decision Hygiene—the active process of challenging your own assumptions and priors, rather than seeking out information that confirms what you already believe (confirmation bias). He shares why he transitioned to discretionary portfolio management to prevent clients' emotions from derailing sound investment plans, demonstrating that sometimes, letting a fiduciary make unemotional decisions is the best way to secure a client's wealth. An empowered human, John concludes, is simply one who is self-aware and makes choices based on truth, not just self-interest.

If you've ever thought, “I'm not a leader, I just have 47 people depending on me and zero time to pee” — this one's for you. In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on what really gets in the way of women leading at work, at home, and in our own lives. Spoiler: it's not your title, your org chart, or your calendar. It's the invisible beliefs, the perfectionism, the “I'll just do it myself,” and the “if I say no everything will fall apart” stories running in the background. Executive coach, author, and Harvard Business Review podcast host Muriel Wilkins joins Nicole to unpack the seven hidden leadership blockers that quietly cap our potential — especially for women who've been praised their whole lives for doing it all, doing it perfectly, and never dropping a ball. Together, they dig into how to actually lead yourself first, rewrite old scripts like “I can't make a mistake” and “I don't belong here,” and create a version of leadership that doesn't require burnout, over-functioning, or pretending to be someone you're not. Because leadership isn't just about managing people. It's about managing you — your beliefs, your boundaries, and your response when things go sideways. We explore: Why leadership isn't a title, it's how you show up in every area of your life The 7 hidden leadership blockers that keep high-achieving women stuck and exhausted How “I need to be involved” and “I can't say no” destroy your capacity and your team's growth The quiet cost of perfectionism and the belief “I can't make a mistake” The difference between being a leader and actually leading (yes, there's a big one) Why real confidence isn't knowing you'll get it right — it's trusting you can handle whatever happens Because at the end of the day, leadership isn't about having all the answers — it's about having the inner steadiness to face whatever comes next without abandoning yourself in the process.

In today's solo episode, I dive deep into something that's been heavy on my heart lately — especially as a new mama — and that is breaking generational curses. I'm talking about how to identify the patterns in your family that may be unhealthy, unbiblical, or downright toxic — and how to STOP them from continuing in your life, your marriage, and your kids' lives. I share tons of biblical encouragement, examples from my own journey, what I've learned through therapy and inner healing, and how you can partner with God to be the change in your family tree. Even if this episode feels a little heavy, I promise — it's packed with hope, grace, and practical steps you can take TODAY.

What if the biggest barrier to intimacy in your relationship isn't stress, exhaustion, or mismatched libidos… but your phone? In this week's episode, we're trying something that might feel a little controversial (and honestly, uncomfortable): no screens before sex. Yep — for seven days, we challenged ourselves to put down the devices before any kind of intimacy, whether that meant sex, cuddling, or even a deep conversation. And let's just say… it revealed a lot about how much tech gets in the way of connection.
