Over the last three years, Fix Yourself has grown and changed. It started with me sitting alone with my microphone, nervously reading a script, to having authors, speakers and coaches grace me with interviews. People send me lovely emails about how they related to one topic or another. I've had over 10,000 downloads, which puts my low budget podcast in the top 15 percent of all podcasts. I can't describe how honored I feel when I imagine people listening to me and my guests. Until next time!

This week's podcast guest, Adam Shaeuble, came along at the perfect time to address these issues. His story of transformation is rare, given that he lost over a 100 pounds and has kept the weight off. In doing so, Adam became passionate about helping others lose weight. He also got deep into the Keto lifestyle. We discuss how to make losing weight sustainable and approachable.

Change is hard work. We are creatures of habit, so it helps to know some basic things before you try to change your life in significant ways. This week's podcast is about making change the right way. Listen in if you want to know some tips for creating real change in your life.

Do you know your "why?" At the end of the day, do you feel a sense of satisfaction? If not, I'm happy to help you look at your life in a new way so that you never feel like I do when I'm on social media—like I'm wasting time. This week I did a quick solo podcast on using PACE to assess your current level of happiness. Spoiler alert, mine was way off and needed some changing!

This week, I did a solo podcast all about a topic I love: energy and the optimal level of arousal. We all want to live with the right amount of energy, or "arousal." Too much and we are hopped up, anxious and jittery. Too little and we are lethargic or depressed. This rambling podcast will give you tips on getting into the arousal zone we all want to live in.

My guest this week personifies someone who had a vision for the future and then had every expectation crushed by medical hardships. Over the course of his college years, Kawan suffered from a stroke and underwent three brain surgeries to correct a malformation. The surgeries, with their pain and difficult rehabilitation, led to addiction and severe depression, including a suicide attempt. Now, seven years after the first surgery, Kawan has an entirely different mindset. Like so many people who have been through something that seems unfair and tragic to the outside world, Kawan told me that he wouldn't go back in time and undo any of it. Despite his pain and hardship, he now has clarity and purpose that he didn't have before. He is here to help people overcome adversity. 

This week, I'm talking all about getting rid of limiting beliefs. We all have them, but we don't always realize that they are holding us back. People limit themselves, based on bogus beliefs, only to discover how amazing they feel when they stop with the sh*tty limitations, and I want to give you the tools to help you get there.

How do you pivot when life throws you a curve ball? My podcast guest this week, Jimmy Grant, aka Rosedriive, is a producer and DJ with a huge following and millions of downloads. Our discussion will touch on the interaction between habit formation and creating new identities. For example, you develop a fitness identity by working out each day; a tiny bit at the beginning and building upon successes until you have a new identity as someone who is into fitness. This relationship between habits and identity can be applied to every area of your life. We can't control the pandemic, but we can control our attitude. Listen to our interview on his podcast, The Art of You, here. 

This week's guest on Fix Yourself is the perfect women to calm us all down and give us perspective. Casey O'Roarty is a certified Positive Discipline Trainer with a giant community of parents seeking personal growth and development. Two of my favorite topics that Casey covered were seeing parenting through the lens of connection and using curiosity to help our kids plot an intentional life course.

My guest today, Chris Ross, is an uber successful entrepreneur and business owner who teaches corporations how to be more successful; especially how to sell. The overarching theme of this deep conversation is that struggle often leads us to our greatest strengths. Chris was willing to dive into his "why" openly and with great insight. His message will make you want to be 1% better everyday in order to become the person you were meant to be.
