After a summer hiatus, I am more than happy to be back with my podcast bestie Ali Damron.
This was inspired by some BS we both keep seeing on Instagram. Most of the women we speak to are at the ends of their rope, navigating careers, parenthood, aging parents and perimenopause. Basically running around with their pants on fire.
Everyone is searching for the solution, missing what the real issue is: IT'S TIME TO CHANGE.
It's time to get brutally honest about what deserves your time and attention and also how you view the world.
If only were as easy as taking a supplement. This is going to require some really hard choices.

This episode teaches you how to scale your efforts so you can continue with momentum rather than starting from scratch every three months.

Today on Far From Perfect, I have for the second time Coach Mike Millner on what it takes to change. He owns Pop Nutrition and has a podcast called Mind Over Macros. We are going to dive into his 4 Pillars of Goal Achievement, which are
1. Physical
2. Willpower
3. iOS
4. Future Self
I recently heard Mike speak at a coaching event and this was by far my favorite one. I also believe that when someone has actually gone through all the things(chronic diet, body dysmorphia, orthorexia) you know they've done the work. We talk about both of our journeys and we go into detail about the 4 Pillars above. When it comes down to it, the nutrition and the working out are the easy part, its the mindset shift. When the conditions stay the same, but your behavior changes then there is progress! Celebrating when bad shit DOESN'T happen.
I think you guys are going to love this as much as I did. You can find Mike by listening to his podcast - Mind Over Macros(whatever platform you listen to your podcasts) and he's on instagram @coach_mike_millner

Today on the podcast I'm talking with my friend Joe Eiben, this is his fourth time on the podcast. We are talking about polarity in fitness and nutrition. I just love Joe and his perspective on all things. Joe is a Psychotherapist, Professional Coach, Holistic Nutritionist, Writer and yogi.
We dive into how our cultural is living with anxiety and overwhelm as a base and we can't exhale. We are at war from an internal and external standpoint and it's due to a lack of meaningful connection with others. We can't eliminate it, we have to figure out how to work around it. We have to have a lot of patience and grace with ourselves.
We talk about steps to help ourselves and the first is acceptance of yourself, second is to act like the person you want to be, and most importantly try not to over complicate things. This is an amazing conversation, Joe is so insightful and knowledgeable and I think you're going to love it and relate to it. When we know better, we can do better and embrace what we can control and have a say in.
