Awareness is the first step in uncovering and shifting false narratives. Practicing self-compassion and prioritizing the relationship with oneself are essential for personal growth and well-being. Creating boundaries around activities that may reinforce false narratives, such as social media, can support mental and emotional well-being. Prioritizing rest and engaging in activities that nurture physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being can help break free from false narratives.

Do your thoughts come racing at you as soon as you wake up? Oftentimes our minds run wild with the to-do list, reflections on previous conversations, or predictions about upcoming meetings.
It’s no surprise that the average human processes 6200 thoughts per day.
These constant racing thoughts can lead to anxiety, restlessness, and a general lack of peace without us even becoming aware of it.
That’s where mindfulness comes in. Performing acts of mindfulness can help ease a full mind by simply becoming more aware of the present moment.
On this episode of The Balanced Life podcast, you’ll learn how to become more mindful and less mind FULL.

Navigating family mealtimes can be stressful. Everyone has their own ideas of what they want to eat. Kids can be selective, and families are often frazzled by the end of the day when dinner rolls around.
Rachel Rothman helps families have less stress at mealtimes. She uses her extensive experience as a registered dietitian to work with families to alleviate food worries. Rachel and I had such an illuminating conversation that we had to split it into two parts. This is the second part of our insightful discussion. Join us to learn how to work through mealtime battles, how to handle teen food issues, how to approach vitamin deficiencies, and the answers to many more questions.

We all want to help our kids cultivate a healthy relationship with food, but this can be easier said than done. Many of us are still repairing our own negative relationship with food. Add in changing nutrition data, emotional elements, and comments and advice from family and friends and this topic can become a minefield.
To help us navigate this difficult, complex topic I’ve invited Rachel Rothman to share her expertise. Rachel is a registered dietitian and childhood nutrition expert with a background in food science.
Our conversation isn’t solely focused on what to feed your kids (although we do touch on that), it encompasses navigating the challenges and stresses regarding picky eaters, mealtimes, and sugary snacks and desserts.
Since it is such an expansive topic, we split the episode into two parts so that you can take time to reflect on what you learn. Make sure that you’re subscribed to the podcast so that you’ll know when the next episode publishes.

So many of us are on the happiness treadmill. We believe we’ll be happy once we achieve our next goal since the traditional way of thinking about happiness is wrapped up in our accomplishments. This means we don’t make room for happiness while we’re on the journey of life or we get caught up in the day-to-day whirlwind of feelings and emotions.
Stephanie Harrison from The New Happy has made it her life’s work to study the science of happiness and has created a new science-backed philosophy of happiness. Today she’ll share the difference between the emotion of happiness and creating a truly happy life, how caregivers can achieve happiness for themselves, and how she redefined happiness. This episode hit me at the right moment and I’m sure it will do the same for you. Press play to begin to reconsider your thoughts on happiness.
