Dinner Table Talk

They say there are two types of people in the world: those with red dot notifications on their phones and those without. Which camp are you in? I’m asking because today on the Dinner Table Talk Podcast, we’re talking about staying organized! Now here’s the thing — if you’re a hot mess express, I don’t want you running off. In fact, if you were to look at my closet, you’d think I live off of chaos! But organizing our priorities, thoughts, and goals is important. It allows us to have more space and time to give into other areas of our lives. So, I’m sharing my tools and processes for staying organized in my personal life! These are super-simple steps you can implement into your own day. In fact, doing just one will make a huge difference! We all have different approaches to organization. Whether you love having 100 notifications on your phone or you absolutely can’t stand something being out of place, my challenge to you is to take one little piece of this episode and apply it to your day.   Follow JazzyThings

We’ve all felt criticism before. Maybe we were doing something new, maybe we were being silly, or maybe we posted a picture of our boyfriend shaving our back and it went viral (it happened, it’s all in the podcast).... No matter what we do, it’s really easy for people to be negative. It’s also really easy for us to latch onto that negativity and feel victimized and hurt. You know what’s hard (but opens so many possibilities)? Channeling that criticism into positivity! That’s exactly what we’re talking about on the Dinner Table Talk podcast today. It’s natural to feel bad when someone criticizes you, but I want to help you channel that negative energy differently so you can feel great AND help impact others. Who wants more positivity in their lives?   Follow JazzyThings on Instagram: www.instagram.com/jazzythings Download Your FREE Resource: www.yourdinnerisplanned.com/p/ep7

If you know anything about me, you know I absolutely LOVE food. But have you ever noticed that food is EVERYWHERE? Everything we do revolves around it! Want to meet up with friends? Go get food! Want to spend time with family? Go get food! Having a date night? Go get food! This may be an unpopular opinion but… is it possible that we’re missing out on other experiences because we’re trained that everything has to revolve around eating? If we were to take eating out of the equation as an activity, would you still have a things to do that fulfill you? This is what we’re chatting about on the Dinner Table Talk Podcast today! Get ready, because I’m challenging you to switch things up!   Follow JazzyThings on Instagram: www.instagram.com/jazzythings Download Your FREE Resource: www.yourdinnerisplanned.com/p/ep5

Alright, time to get real.

I talk a lot about living a healthy, sustainable lifestyle. But what does “healthy” even mean? Is it a singular definition that applies to everyone, or is it different depending on the person? Spoiler alert: It’s different for everyone! This is exactly what I’m talking about today on the Dinner Table Talk podcast. In episode two, I’m sharing my opinion on what “healthy” means and how you can adapt it to your own life (something I call the spectrum of healthy choices). This is all about helping you understand how healthy applies to YOU without feeling like you’re constantly swinging from one “hot tip” to the next. I’m also going to talk about how to stick to your healthy eating ‘spectrum’ while still being flexible and open to new experiences.   Follow JazzyThings on Instagram: www.instagram.com/jazzythings Download Your FREE Resource: www.yourdinnerisplanned.com/p/ep2
