LIVING IN SYNC PODCAST | Lifestyle & Wellness for Women in their 30s

"I've never truly felt what I would call God nudges before until the graphic design work, and that's been something that, if you feel like that's weird gut intuition that this is what you're supposed to be doing, that this is something I would never have been able to understand what that felt like before until now." In this episode I am chatting with Julie Wenzlick of P&W Designs. Julie brings a lot of wisdom and experience of balancing a full time career in finance and starting side hustles. Over the last decade she has had experience in furniture flipping, network marketing, creating digital products, custom planners, and now design and branding all while climbing her corporate career and being a mom.  Follow Julie on Instagram  Being Better Everyday Podcast www.pwplanners.com Become a Patreon Follow Joelle on Instagram   Episode Outline:  Why Start a Side Hustle?

I can't stress enough how crucial it is to tune into the hormonal fluctuations that happen within us and understand the impact they have on our mood, energy levels, and overall well-being. I'm going to get personal here and share some of my own battles with PMDD. It's been a tough journey, but it's made me realize just how significant hormones are when it comes to our mental health.

I believe it's important to have internal motivations when it comes to our health and wellness goals. That's why I plan to seek expert guidance for any specific health concerns I may have. Let's start with my fitness plan. I've decided to incorporate a combination of strength training, cardio, and new activities into my routine. By diversifying my workouts, I can challenge my body in different ways and keep things interesting. Now, let's talk about my nutrition strategy. I will be following the "2B Mindset" program, which focuses on developing a healthy relationship with food and making mindful choices. Additionally, I will be using the 30-30-30 method, which involves balancing my meals with 30% protein, 30% healthy fats, and 30% carbohydrates. I've also had some positive experiences with supplements that I'd like to share. GI Assist and Anx-Defy have been particularly helpful for me, and I believe they can benefit others as well. However, it's important to remember that supplements should be used in conjunction with a balanced diet and regular exercise. Lastly, I want to give you a sneak peek of an upcoming episode. I will be discussing the internal work that leads to external change. It's not just about physical fitness, but also about mental and emotional well-being. I'm excited to dive deeper into this topic and share valuable insights with all of you.
