Does it feel like you've been told to work harder and harder but still don't see the results you want in your health, wealth, life, and love? Do you feel stuck and frustrated with the lack of progress? If this sounds familiar, then this episode is for you.  We are joined by Kevin Palmieri, the CFO, Founder, and Co-host of Next Level University, a Global Top 100 Self-Improvement Podcast. We talk about unlearning some beliefs and welcoming new ones that allow you to become more self-aware than you could ever be with your current beliefs. Kevin Palmieri hit rock bottom around his mid-twenties, and after he hit his rock bottom, he said, I'm going to start a podcast. So he started Next Level University, which is a podcast that's listened to in over 125 countries with over a thousand downloads. He's given nearly a hundred speeches and had the opportunity to do hundreds of coaching calls. Now he's grown his podcast into a multi-six-figure business. He emphasizes consistency, commitment, habits, mindset, confidenc

Let’s talk about resistance–what it looks like for different people, and getting through it. In this episode, we share some of our client experiences that started with resistance. We love witnessing their stories unfold and being there when they have their epiphanies because they are nothing short of inspiring. The best thing about these real client stories is that they are so relatable. After listening to this episode, we're certain you’ll relate to at least one of them. We are curious to know what ideas you have been resisting lately. Give it some thought, and you may realize that it’s exactly the thing that limits you from moving forward.

Mindset is the cornerstone of our Five Foundations of Health and we unpack how to keep moving forward in this interview with Terry Tucker. Terry Tucker is a motivational speaker who has lived many lives. His outlook on life is one that shows wisdom and acceptance in a way only someone with his experience can have. We were graced with this for our interview. Terry helps us dive deep into his 4 Truths that shapes how he lives life in the midst of facing hard-ass challenges. He shares clear ideas about moving from discomfort to resilience. We also talk candidly about death and legacy work. We are so happy to share this conversation with you in hopes that you will walk away with a fresh outlook. Connect with Terry via his blog Motivational Check.

Is The French Paradox true? Maybe not. Still, perhaps the French know something we don't about eating. In this short podcast, we discuss what Debbie learned about her trip to Paris and how we can adopt some of their cultural style, habits and ideas to have a richer experience when dining.

You've tried countless times to start and, more importantly, keep a new, healthy habit. Some have lasted a day, a week, a month. Others, maybe more. But, ultimately, you just can't seem to stick to what you promise yourself to. It's frustrating. Why does this happen? No will power? No support? Life got in the way? We've all been there. Habits can be hard to keep up. This, after all, is why we do what we do! To try to get people to adopt healthy habits that they keep forever and ever. Or, until they don't need them anymore. In this podcast, we share how we help our clients make and keep these habits (or let go of ones that they want to let go of). Listen and share! Below is the transcript.   Wendy Yeah, so many people get tripped up on starting new habits. And we have a couple of ideas to share with people that can really get them to shift their habits into gear. And we wanted to share them with you. Debbie That's right. This is Debbie. Wendy And this is Wendy. Welcome to Nourish Noshes. Debbie So three

If you’re approaching "middle-age," you may be a little confused and nervous about the idea of menopause. Most likely, this is because this time of life for women has long held negative connotations in our society, largely tied to stigmas of aging. However, the transition to menopause can be a time of reflection and inspiration. It’s a normal and natural part of a woman’s life, and it can be just as well lived as earlier stages. When it comes down to it, it has a lot to do with mindset. The menopause phase is a time of change and with that, it's also a time of choice. The mindset with which you approach this transition can have a huge impact on your experience of it. Of course, the symptoms and changes that come with this phase aren’t always avoidable, but how you experience it and the years that follow has much to do with your how you think about it and choose to behave. Those that choose to, see this time of life as a new beginning--one that can be lived vibrantly, fully, and in good health. We don't mean

We’ve got strategies to help you get that done. Join our 6-week summer group starting July 11 on Zoom, Mondays 8:30-9:30 am. Start each week inspired. Details and registration here. 

We were lucky enough to have two conversations with fitness coach, Lisa Perry of Shore Bells. This podcast is our second conversation. Getting to know her, we spoke the same health-focused language, and because we are all coaches, we connected over our philosophies and our identities. She is so passionate about what she does and this comes through in our conversations. Just by listening, we're sure you're going to be inspired to up your health game. Here's the transcript. Edited for clarity. Debbie We're interviewing today, someone I've known for a really long time, Lisa Perry of Shore Bells. We're so happy to have you here, Lisa. And she's had such a great story that we talked with her about last week. And we were like, we have to get her on the podcast, because she's got a story our listeners have to hear. We are so happy to have you here and let our listeners hear all about you and what's going on and your business and how you can help others. Lisa 00:26 Thank you for inviting me on, it's very exciting to

Whether taken for the simple purpose of promoting relaxation or prior to a spa or massage treatment to maximize therapeutic benefit. Listen to hear the founding story and Debbie and Wendy's review from when they tried it themselves!

What does it mean to be truly healthy? Eating a "clean" diet and exercising regularly isn't the whole picture. What does a truly healthy person do as their everyday habits? We discuss what it means to have whole-person health and a new offering this spring to help you achieve true health. Take our Wellness IQ Quiz here.  Transcription of our podcast is below. Transcription of What's your Wellness IQ. (Edited for clarity.) Wendy   So, we've got this new idea. And we're very excited about the spring. And we're introducing this idea of how to improve your wellness IQ. We've got three workshops coming up. Spring is just the most beautiful time to have a growth mindset, right? Everything is popping up. And you see advertisements: spring cleanses, spring detox, you know, 30 days to do this. Debbie   Well, they're all over the place right now. I get them in my email daily. And I see them when I'm out at the supermarket, Whole Foods, health food stores, even regular stores. You just see it all over the place.  Wendy 

Hijacked Taste Buds Our taste buds have been hijacked by the food industry to make us believe we're eating deliciously flavored non-foods that ultimately make us not feel well. How can we retrain our taste buds and get back to eating nutritious, real, whole foods? Find out what's behind this bamboozling and how to turn it around. In our podcast we mention a couple of books on the topic (links below) as well as a delicious beet recipe. The Dorito Effect: The Surprising New Truth About Food and Flavor Supernormal Stimuli: How Primal Urges Overran Their Evolutionary Purpose Beet Hummus Recipe Here's the transcript of speakers Wendy Bright-Fallon and Debbie Peterson. Wendy  00:00 My husband and I were recently in a store that we usually don't go to. And he said, Wendy, come over here and take a look at this aisle. And I swear it looked a mile long, and it was all lined with candy, the whole thing. And there were all these banners saying how much fun you could have and all these insane colors and very alluring

This episode is about The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz, a practical guide to personal freedom. We learned that the four agreements are about being impeccable with your word, not taking anything personally, not making assumptions, and always doing your best. We also learned that being clear and speaking kindly to ourselves is important and that nothing others say or do is because of us. We then discussed how assumptions can be dangerous and how we should practice the four agreements to limit the drama of life. Finally, the four agreements can be a great gift to give to anyone and can help change lives for the better.   We can’t recommend this book enough, so if you’re interested in getting one for yourself or as a gift, get it now!

An interview with Spiritual Director and Reiki Master Grace Conte Have you ever met someone and immediately felt a connection? Something about their energy or how they speak or carry themselves draws you in. That's how we felt when we hosted Grace Conte in our office for a workshop about Reiki. Though we have both experienced reiki, this discipline is fairly new to us and we walked away with a new interest and deeper understanding of this healing model. We wanted to know more about reiki and about her so we invited Grace onto our Nourish Noshes podcast to share more about her life's work. She has a very powerful story about her spiritual path. In this interview, we learn how Grace's traumatic childhood and long cancer journey became her access point that shaped her hope-filled life of courage, deep spiritual nourishment, work and transformation in service to self and others. Through her sacred work, Grace brings hope to the parts of ourselves that hold resistance and limits. During our conversation, we talk a

Our ancestors didn't have the choice to eat foods out of season, for the most part. However, today, we can find berries in our food markets in the dead of winter. Our bodies, though, know when it's summer or winter and we do best when we are in sync with the seasonal foods that we evolved eating. They can warm us, cool us down, give us energy, help our immune systems, and so on. If we feed our bodies in this way, we can live our healthiest lives. Transcript of Seasonal Eating podcast Edited for clarity Debbie  00:01 One of our many mantras is to eat seasonally. And the reason for that is many, but seasonal food generally is fresher, tastier and more nutritious than food consumed out of season. And in this podcast, we're going to discuss all the seasons and the reasons why it's best to eat food that's harvested locally. And seasonally. I'm Debbie. Wendy  00:27 I'm Wendy. Debbie  00:28 And let's talk about seasonal eating. Wendy  00:30 Let's talk about fall and winter. It's upon us and everything's chang

After 13 years of coaching, we had the opportunity to take the board exam to become nationally board-certified health and wellness coaches. Not only did it reinvigorate our passions for coaching, but we learned new skills and strategies that we are excited to use with our clients and groups. Listen to our board exam experience and how we are now, even better coaches. (Podcast player below transcript) Transcript of Certified podcast. edited for clarity Nourish Coaches 00:04 Hi, this is Wendy. And this is Debbie. Welcome to nourish Noshes where we talk all things food and health and what's nourishing for us. Debbie 00:15 And I'll tell you what was not very nourishing for us was taking a four-hour exam. Wendy 00:24 If anyone saw our post exam photo, you could see how tired I was, this is Wednesday, by the way. It was quite exhausting. It was pretty intense process to study. Debbie 00:37 Yeah. So, you know, some people might not know about that. But some people may know that we took an exam, just last Friday.

In this episode of Nourish Noshes, we interview Greg Jacobson, CFP. He is an old high school buddy of Debbie's and an extremely intuitive Financial Planner who really gets how our personal outlook on finances and how we manage them parallels our outlook on overall health and wellness. In our discussion, we illustrate these parallels and show how being healthy isn't just about your diet and exercise. Gregory A.

We just don’t talk enough about perimenopause and menopause. Sure, we all know the common symptoms and maybe we’ve heard of a few ideas, but we often feel alone in the transition. Is this normal? Why is this happening? What can I do? One thing we know for sure - we are all different and we will all go through it. Announcing a three-week workshop where we will explore mindset practices, food, movement and sleep choices, and practical navigation ideas on how to approach this precious time of life. Oh, and we’ve got plenty of our own stories to share. Register here:  https://nourishcoaches.com/perimenopause-menopause-workshop/ Here's the transcript: Edited for clarity Wendy  It's so funny this whole thing about perimenopause and the change and wisdom and the "Crone." I was speaking with a woman and she's like, "screw going through perimenopause into menopause with grace." She goes, "screw grace." She's like, "I want to go in with my fight on and I want to go down like a heavy hitter." And she's like, "I jus

There's a lot of ambivalence about eating fat. For generations, doctors and other practitioners demonized fat for causing all kinds of health problems. We want to shine some light on how fat is not only good for us, but absolutely necessary. And, as we always say, it's not just about this one particular nutrient--we need to look at the person eating it as a whole. Listen to our take on fat. Transcript of Should You Fear Fat podcast Edited for clarity Wendy  00:02 We're so glad you're here with us today. We're going on a journey to talk about fat. So, for over 35 years, our health system and our government declared all fat as bad and to remove it from our daily lives, and they all went a little crazy. Literally. No more brain fuel, right? It's fat for the brain, cognitive health, all the absorption of vitamins and minerals and longevity and joint health. Debbie  00:30 Yeah, we need that! Wendy  00:33 We're fat phobic!  So, let's get past that. That's like, we've outgrown that. Debbie  00:39 Yeah, we've

In this revisit of our Magic Melatonin podcast, we discuss what Melatonin is, how it works in our bodies, the benefits of it (including its beneficial effect on cancer), foods that help our bodies produce melatonin, and the question about supplementing. Transcript of Magic of Melatonin--Revisited Edited for clarity. Wendy  00:00 So we're reposting this Magic Melatonin podcast because it's early summer, and we're both having sleep challenges with our animals. Debbie  00:12 Yeah, and it's light until 8:45. And we listened to this podcast just to see what it sounded like and forgot how great it was. Wendy  00:21 There's so much super information. I mean, before we go into that info, I mean, you've got your animal house right now. Debbie  00:29 Yeah, I am an Animal House. I got cats, dogs and ducks that we're raising right now. And they all wake up at the crack of dawn, because their melatonin says it's time to wake up. Wendy  00:41 And well, and they aren't sleeping in room darkening shade places, righ
