How often do you incorporate strength training in your workout routine?  Many women believe that the only way to lose weight is to increase their cardiovascular activity. However, cardio alone isn’t the best way to lose weight and tone up. In today's episode, Brian and I talk about the benefits of strength training.

When was the last time you failed?  To me, the words failure and success go hand in hand because without failure, we don’t have the opportunity to grow and learn from our mistakes to then fuel our success. In today's episode, I talk about overcoming failure in life. Failure, by definition, means not being successful. However, ‘success’ means something different  to each of us because we all have different goals and desires that we are measuring this success by. Most people view failure as a bad thing, but really failure re-routes our life to areas of success. Instead of feeling slowed down by failure, use it as a motivation to keep working towards your goals. Listen to Episode 42 of Six-Pack, to learn about the times that I have failed, why failure is a motivation to me, and why failure is inevitable. In This Episode, You Will Learn:Why failure is a motivation to me (2:50)Not all failures are equal (6:00)What my failures taught me (10:36)Not to wallow in your pain (17:42)To take accountability for your actions (21:10)Let’s Connect!InstagramWebsiteFacebook Hosted on Acast.

The US Presidential election has brought up many points of contention between voters of all parties in recent weeks, and my household has been no exception.  Our family has never traditionally spoken at lengths on politics as, generally, it hasn’t been a topic that’s been raised all too often. Though, as my children are becoming young adults and forming their own opinions on the issues that affect their country, disagreements are bound to happen. Most recently, a heated debate came up in my household between my children which challenged me both on a personal level and as a parent.  Hearing what they said to each other was painful, and whilst I’m so grateful that they have such passionate and strong points of view, it was only another reminder that our politics do not have to define us. I sincerely hope that this new administration brings a new era for peace, hope, and an end to the division that has tainted our nation for far too long. To hear more, tune in to Episode 31 of Six-Pack!In This Episode You Will Learn:The effect this election has had on my family (2:00)Why this new administration gives me hope as a mother of five daughters (5:25)How I responded to the political disagreements within my household (6:30)Why I chose to intervene during a heated argument between my kids (9:42)Why I felt concerned for my kids’ relationships with each other (10:45)The mindset I’ve taught to my daughters & Why a recent argument between two of my children felt like a teaching moment (12:53)Why I was so grateful to have an open dialogue with my son in regards to women and our needs (23:03)Let’s Connect!InstagramWebsiteFacebookResources:Book: How to Raise a Gentleman - Author, Kay West Hosted on Acast.

In last week’s episode, I touched a little bit on some basic tips that we can do to help us through this holiday season, and one of the subjects I mentioned was how getting enough sleep can lead to a healthier lifestyle for us. And although we oftentimes tend to neglect it, adequate sleep allows our body to slow down and recharge for the following day, so it’s very important to start prioritizing our bedtime rest.   That’s why, in today’s episode, I wanted to dive a little deeper on the sleep topic and share some of the things our family does to ensure we all get a good night’s sleep – at least, as often as we can.
