The other day, I was uncomfortable… and I’m talking extraordinarily, absolutely, 100% uncomfortable (you guys… I shed tears). And you know what? It was great! Don’t get me wrong. It was hard. But it was great. Here’s the thing, friends: feeling uncomfortable often comes with negative connotations. But in reality, on the other side of uncomfortable is something we really want, but aren’t going after because we’re, well… comfortable! Which brings me to today’s episode of the Dinner Table Talk Podcast, where I’m challenging YOU to get uncomfortable so you can achieve those amazing goals you KNOW you can reach. You have the ability to push through areas that are outside of your comfort zone and achieve your dreams — the first step is realizing where in your life you might feel a bit too comfortable. So let’s get to it! Follow JazzyThings on Instagram: www.instagram.com/jazzythings Download Your FREE Resource: www.yourdinnerisplanned.com/p/ep19

Do you ever find yourself with more food in your fridge than you actually make? It’s okay… we’ve all been there! But did you know that an estimated 72 billion pounds of food ends up in the landfill every year, while 42 million Americans struggle with hunger? Here’s the good news… we can help! A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to attend Expo West (a huge expo here in southern California) on behalf of Kroger. Their mission, Zero Hunger Zero Waste, is to end hunger in our communicates and eliminate their company waste by 2025. Full disclosure: I am in no way sponsored to talk about this. I am just so moved by the mission and the impact we can have that I want to share it with you! Because we can make an impact. In fact, we can reduce waste in our own homes, and that’s exactly what I’m breaking down on today’s Episode of the Dinner Table Talk Podcast!   Follow JazzyThings on Instagram: www.instagram.com/jazzythings Download Your FREE Resource: www.yourdinnerisplanned.com/p/ep14
