Dinner Table Talk

First, I have to tell you — I am SO freaking grateful for you tuning in and listening over the last year (wow, it’s been over a year!). We have covered so many amazing topics together, from handling stress to traveling the world and implementing fun ingredients into your meal. We have 60 episodes full of tips, tricks, and stories that you can refer back to whenever you’re looking for advice on living a healthy, sustainable lifestyle. I’ve loved talking with you every week — but I’ve always realized there are OTHER ways that I can be showing up for you that light me up and will be amazing for you, too. And that’s what I’m talking about on today’s episode of the Dinner Table Talk podcast.

If you follow me on Instagram, then you probably saw that in December, my husband and I went on a safari in Africa in lieu of having a wedding! Fun fact: ever since I was a kid, I said I would NOT have a wedding. It just felt, well, boring to me! Instead, I wanted to go on a safari. Fast forward to when I found myself engaged, there I was, trying to plan a wedding. We were talking dates, calling venues, working on guest lists. And then suddenly, it hit us… why the heck are we doing this when we could be doing a safari instead?! So that’s what we did! Now, you guys had a TON of questions about our safari, so this week’s episode of the Dinner Table Talk podcast is all about getting your questions answered (because living a healthy, sustainable lifestyle isn’t just about what you eat… it’s about how you live!).

Happy New Year! Can you believe it’s 2019 already?! Given it’s January 1st, you’re likely thinking all about those New Year’s resolutions you’ve set for the year, right? But here’s the dealio, my friend: New Year’s resolutions are bullcrap. Hold on! Don’t leave yet! I’m all about setting goals — especially at the beginning of a new year. I’ve set resolutions too. It’s not the goal setting that’s baloney… it’s when we set goals that we won’t actually stick to, just for the sake of setting goals. How many times have you set a New Year’s resolution and then, 90 days later, you’re thinking, “Oops… guess I didn’t hit that goal”? I’m here to make sure you don’t do that in 2019. On today’s episode of the Dinner Table Talk podcast, I’m coming at you with a planning exercise to make sure you set New Year’s resolutions that are actionable, attainable, and something you’ll actually stick to this year! You’re going to want to make sure you’ve got a pen + paper (or your phone’s note app!) and some space to actually thin
