Healthy Vibes Podcast

Suzi is the green blogger behind the blog Gurl Gone Green . She's a wife and mom to three girls and one boy. After eating healthy for several years, she realized eating real food was only a small part of the healthy living equation. As a hairstylist and esthetician, she became aware of all the harmful chemicals she was constantly being exposed to. She went on a journey to transform her conventiona...

When we get in the vicious cycle of letting unhealthy thoughts and feelings control our lives and our choices, we have to break the cycle and choose differently. This is possible. Let us choose this week to be bold and believe in ourselves and know that we are capable of anything. Challenge: Pay attention to your thoughts and feelings this week and break the cycle if needed. Quote: "Recall that th...

Grace is the most underused superpower we can have. Grace gives us permission to move on. The ability to let go, forgive yourself, and move on quickly seems to be one of the most underused super powers. I can do all the things, but if I can't give myself grace when I mess up, I won't be able to bounce back and start again. I won't be able to get back up, when I fall down. I won't be able to laugh...

You are more likely to stick to something that is not extreme. Anything extreme isn’t a sustainable lifestyle. We want a more enjoyable lifestyle, and it is possible with healthy, balanced choices. This is also a perspective, and a mindset. Let us find the goldilocks zone, as Jillian Michaels says. Challenge: What are you getting too much of and not enough of? Figure out where you could adjust and...

Let us become aware this week and work to shift our mindset little by little to a more positive, hopeful, abundant, and grateful mindset. Challenge: Become aware of your mindset this week and make small shifts to make it more positive. Quote: “You can’t feel stressed and blessed at the same time.” Jon Gordon

Don’t give up. Get rest, pause, and take a step back. Then start again. When something is so important to your soul, you will feel much resistance as you pursue it. Take a new perspective. Try something new. Step back and pause. Then…start again. Take action. **Challenge: **Whatever you have given up on, or have thought about giving up on, I want you to step back, pause, rest and then, start again...

Taking care of our health is overwhelming. Too many options, opinions, fads, diets, gadgets, and advice from everyone. This can leave us stuck, and not doing anything to improve our health. Just start. Start with what seems easy and possible. Take the walk. Drink more water. Get up earlier. Pick the one thing that you think you can accomplish and start. Challenge: Start one new habit this week. Wh...

This is a deeper dive into our daily choices and how we can be more humble and authentic in our way. Humility isn’t just not bragging or boasting. It is so much more. Let us begin by remembering that His ways are better than our ways. Challenge: Pay attention to how you interact with those you love this week. Are you truly listening? Pausing? Being patient? Or taking over and reacting? He must bec...

There are many obvious distractions that we could be spending our time and energy on, but there are also some sneaky ways the devil gets into our days, our mind, and our relationships. Let us pay attention and make sure we are spending our time and energy on the right things. Get quiet and get back to your values that matter to you and your family. Challenge : Have a purpose each day of where you...

Let us choose to see the good, have a positive outlook, and change the norm. **Challenge: **Pay attention to where your heart is this week.

This episode is an interview with Jennifer Pressimone. This conversation is filled with a wealth of information. We discuss the role of our gut, circadian rhythms and patterns, and how it can affect our mind, anxiety, depression, sleep, stress levels and more. Her story and knowledge will blow you away. I learned so much during this conversation and you will too. She is a Certified Clinical Aromat...

In today’s society, we seem to keep going, keep pushing, keep rushing, and what really matters to us can easily pass us by. This conversation is permission to slow down, and embrace what is right in front of you, what really matters, and learn to let so many things go. Challenge: Take extra time to pause and sit in silence this week. Resource: Daily Surrender Journal

This is an encouraging conversation about prayer, keeping God close in our day to day life, our teen’s faith, and more. It was so good to sit down with Freyda Smith, who is a friend and fellow mom that always encourages and steers me straight to God. She lives in Winter Garden, FL with her husband of 20 years, and their three children 18,16, and 11. She is a licensed Realtor, and has been practici...

Let’s not shy away from being bold in all of our roles as parents, christians, prayer warriors, and neighbors. Let us share God’s love. Parent our kids to be really good humans. Help our neighbors in need. Love fiercely. Whatever it is you are going out to do this week, live boldly and live like it matters. Challenge: Live boldly in the small areas as well as the big areas of your life this week.

Yes, we could have a big purpose in life, but I also believe each day, and season, we could have a different purpose, or even multiple purposes. Let us slow down enough to hear God’s whispers and where we are needed today, and let us be open to hearing where we can make a difference in today. Challenge: Be open to what your purpose just this week might be.

It is too easy to ride the wave of stress, anxiousness, and aggravation. It is too easy to overreact, rather than stay calm. Once we become intentional about our situations, our reactions, and letting go of the need to control the situation, we can find more peace. Let’s start paying attention this week to what is trying to get us frustrated and stressed. Choose not to participate. Challenge: This...

We will experience a lot of pain in our life, and suffering as well. But many times, continuing to suffer is a choice. We have to choose to get out of it. So many of us choose to stay comfortable with whatever is holding us back, making us moody, or unhealthy. Let us become aware of where we make a different choice, deepen our relationship with God, trust Him and make better choices moving forward...

Decisions become clearer and easier when we base them on what matters most to us. Take time to pause, and think about your values, before all of your choices. Let Your Choices Bring You Closer to God. I find that my best choices, the choices that lead me, and my family, closer to God, closer to each other, and to our best selves, are quite often inconvenient, unpopular, hard and sometimes feel lon...

Boundaries are healthy and good, not for others, but for ourselves, to help us use our time and energy on what matters most. Start, little by little, protecting your time and energy. Give yourself permission and grace along the way. Open your time up to what matters most to you. Challenge : Work on at least one boundary this week to give yourself more time. Podcast: Ed Mylett Podcast with Tim Tebo...

Let us get honest with ourselves and decide if we are truly feeling joy and happiness, and if it is easy, or hard, to be kind. If we are struggling, let us do the hard things and work on ourselves so that we can truly feel joy, love, and kindness.

You get to choose who you are every morning. Do you look for whats good in your day today, or are you going to find all that is wrong and complain? This is a choice that we should remind ourselves every single day before we start the day. When we are intentional, we can choose to be the person that looks for the good and shares it.

We don’t always have someone that reminds us of this. I want to remind you, and let you know that you matter always, no matter what, to God.

When we let go of our ego, become more open, and truly listen, our perspective, and our life can truly change.

It is easy as the new year wears off, and we get back into life, to get too comfortable with those things we want to say no to. Let’s get back into paying attention and breaking these patterns.
