Ok So in this weeks episode we delve into a contentious issue, a topic that evokes all kinds of emotions in people depending on how deeply attached they are to whatever lifestyle they subscribe to - and that topic is the topic of Diet.

First podcast episode of 2022 ! It's been awhile fam, and in this solo cast I open up about my recent resurfacing of addictions that crept back into my life and almost ruined everything Ive been working so hard to create.  Addiction is such a big topic, but what I realised is that you don't have to be a drug addict on the streets, or in rehab to "have a problem", most people are functional addicts in some way or another and thus can easily delude themselves into normalising their behaviour. For myself I realised that in order to create the life i'm striving to create, I had to tackle my addictions head on and not let them get the better of me, and so my hope is that in sharing my experiences, perhaps its inspires you to shine the light of awareness on the habits and substances that are potentially not serving you anymore ...  As mentioned, for listeners of the podcast, we have a 20% discount code that can be used anytime, enter code at checkout : lifexpanded20 check out our website www.lifexpanded.co.za And dont forget to make sure you do something today that Xpands your Life !
