When it comes to exercise and movement, we believe it is this wonderfully balanced, healthy thing, right? But for a lot of us, it's… complicated. Maybe you feel like you have to move or else your anxiety will skyrocket. Maybe you mentally calculate every bite of food and match it with a “required” workout. Or maybe you find yourself hitting the gym even when you're sick, exhausted, or, oh—I don't know—literally injured. Sound familiar? Tweetable Quotes “It wasn't about enjoying movement—it was about earning my food, controlling my body, and never feeling like I was doing enough.” - Rachelle Heinemann “At some point, I had to ask myself—am I moving because I love it, or because I'm afraid of what happens if I don't?” - Rachelle Heinemann “The truth is, over-exercising isn't healthy. It's just another way to punish yourself under the disguise of ‘discipline.'” - Rachelle Heinemann “Recovery meant redefining movement—not as a requirement, but as something I get to do, not something I have to do.” - Rachelle Heinemann Resources Bergen Mental Health Group Inc. is hiring!

Many often question whether they're “sick enough” or feel like their struggles don't fit into a neat little box. So let's talk about it. This week, we're diving into why eating disorders are way more complex than the labels we slap on them—and why real recovery requires thinking outside the diagnosis. Tweetable Quotes "It is impossible to focus on just symptom reduction and not the bigger picture of all the other things that contribute to someone's eating disorder." - Rachelle Heinemann "The second someone's relationship with food or really anything out there bothers them, it's already an issue." - Rachelle Heinemann "When we typically see one version of an infection in a hospital, we can sort of treat it the same way—but with mental health, it's not uniform at all." - Rachelle Heinemann "You couldn't possibly treat someone based on a diagnosis because then you've missed most of the story." - Rachelle Heinemann Resources Grab my Journal Prompts Here!  Looking for a speaker for an upcoming event?

Stop caring what others think about you. Now that I've got your attention, let me back up. We've all been there—so consumed by “what will they think?” that we lose sight of what we think. But if there is one thing I've learned, it's that trying to please everyone just makes you boring.  Tweetable Quotes “It's not necessarily about caring less because there's no magic in that. It's how do we care just as much, but then make decisions based on what we need, our values.” - Rachelle Heinemann “For those of the people who, at least on the outside, look like they don't care, I think for the most part, they're faking it.” - Rachelle Heinemann “Can we be impacted less by our anticipation of other people's reactions or responses?” - Rachelle Heinemann “If I push you away, you don't learn. I don't get to teach. I don't get to learn from other people. And one of the things that I absolutely love is being an educator.” - Rachelle Heinemann “It's not necessarily about caring less. It's about doing things that feel better for you, that feel more aligned with your values, and keeping other people in mind.” - Rachelle Heinemann Resources Grab my Journal Prompts Here!

Food, desire, intuition, and… sex. We often get stuck in the food and body image loop when discussing eating disorders. But let's be real, it's so much more than that! Our relationship with food and our bodies spills over into every aspect of our lives, especially anything that connects with our desires, including our sexual desires and intimacy. This week, I am welcoming back Dr. Judith Brisman. She joined me back in episode 73 for a discussion on food and desire.

Tweetable Quotes "It's like what's driving the eating disorder and what stops someone from getting better?" - Rachelle Heinemann "I hear this all the time.

That people are so either disconnected from what they want or so afraid of what they want." - Rachelle Heinemann "One of the most important things that you can do for yourself and for the people around you is to begin to tolerate really uncomfortable emotions internally so that you can take a second and think about what does this other person need?” - Rachelle Heinemann Resources Connect with Dr. Judith Brisman Here!

Parenthood can be both beautiful and stressful. Firstly, it's okay to admit that. There are no sick days, there is no PTO, you work 24/7 shifts and you get paid nothing. It's sometimes a thankless job, and you'll never get a break. But, it's the toughest job you will ever love.  If we really dive into the rut of parenting, it can feel incredibly overwhelming, and sometimes it's enough to send someone into a downward spiral. However, it's hard to prepare for something like this. Until you actually become a parent, you can't really explain to someone what it's like to be one. In this epsiode, I'm sitting down with Dina Cohen, and discussing all things parenthood and eating disorders. Dina Cohen, MS, RDN, CEDS-C is a nutrition therapist who specializes in pediatric nutrition and the treatment of eating disorders. She is the founder of EatWellSoon, a nutrition counseling practice in Lakewood, NJ dedicated to helping individuals and families develop lifelong healthy habits and a positive relationship with food. Dina's favorite thing to do is help prevent eating disorders before they ever happen, and she speaks in schools, pediatrician's offices, and mental health clinics about eating disorder prevention and awareness. Dina lives with her husband, four daughters, and lots of talking in Toms River, NJ, where she learns new things about food every day.  Tweetable Quotes "It's definitely true that kids are on a different timeline starting from when they're newborn." - Dina Cohen "Recovery from an eating disorder is so, so hard, but you're really getting your bang for your buck because it's going to make other things in your life easier and better." - Dina Cohen "I've found it pretty helpful is that beforehand, before the crisis happens, think about how you can be flexible in upcoming situations." - Rachelle Heinemann "Sometimes we have these hangups of, I want my kids to be nourished well, I want them to have foods with lots of nutrients, a whole balanced meal, and sometimes, maybe, all the time, when you have lots of kids running around, it's really hard to do that." - Rachelle Heinemann "If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy, and you have to make the time for yourself because otherwise it's not just you who's going to suffer, everybody's going to suffer." - Dina Cohen Resources Basics of Assessing & Treating Eating Disorders Webinar Grab my Journal Prompts here!  You can find Dina at https://www.eatwellsoonrd.com/.

In this throwback episode of The Power Producers Podcast, David Carothers and co-host Kyle Houck talk about understanding the common denominators of insurance. Episode Highlights: David mentions that it is essential to understand the common denominator because that is what we don't necessarily need. (1:59) David shares that if you want to be successful in the middle market production, you have to be uncommon in a common environment. (2:51) Kyle shares that creating an agenda requires little effort, none of it is hard. (5:21) David mentions that the agenda is an easy way to begin the meeting. (5:41) David shares that another huge factor is understanding what you have in terms of resources in your agency to solve the problems. (6:21) David shares what happened during his time with the B Atomic Airwaves Podcast. (6:36) David thinks that everybody needs to understand the significance of technology, this is where most agencies go wrong. (6:50) David shares that investments can be helpful to operate with the tasks inside an agency, and it's a huge differentiator. (8:07) David mentions that he's been very impressed with Think HR's 1-800 number that people can call and get advice from the HR. (11:03) David thinks that one of the areas where HubSpot has helped him is by making sure that their clients are adapting around the automation. (12:28) David mentions that if you want to be uncommon, you must start changing your perspective and how you look at things.

(15:22) Tweetable Quotes: “It doesn't start when you walk into the present, it starts with how you go about getting the business to begin with. Whether that be a cold call, marketing drop, or telemarketing, you have to be memorable. People need to want to do business with you because you are shown to be an expert.” - David Carothers “I think that does a couple of things that empower them. It helps them feel like they're in control and decision-makers. They need that and are used to that. It also gets you on the same table versus going back and forth in a negotiation type of thing.” - Kyle Houck “Here's the deal people, you have to look at technology exactly like it is. It's an investment, not an expense. An expense is not something that's going to give you a return, but investment does. Money just doesn't go in and evaporate into the wind” - David Carothers “I think we just get to that point where we're trying to cross the finish line and once we finally do, then we're able to kind of take our victory lap.

In a world driven by absolutes and quick fixes, where opinions often seem black or white, it's time to stop for a minute and just think about how complex the situation really is. Let's embrace the nuance in our decision-making, whether it pertains to nutrition, relationships, or any other aspect of life. It's clear that we're often pressured to make snap judgments and rely on one-size-fits-all solutions. However, life rarely follows directions. It's not enough to say that something is definitively right or wrong, because everyone and every situation is different.   Tweetable Quotes  "It is very hard to come to a consensus or a compromise or even an understanding of each other or of ourselves if we have differing opinions internally or ambivalence." - Rachelle Heinemann  "Please take everything with a grain of salt.
