SJP #89: Simplify Your Health + Wellness with Megan Dahlman

SJP #89: Simplify Your Health + Wellness with Megan Dahlman
Today we have my new friend Megan Dahlman on the show. She is the mastermind behind Strong-Mommas.com. I say mastermind because this woman is the master of fitness and nutrition. She is a mom, and she gets it. That's what I love about her. Megan knows what a post-partum body feels like. She knows what it's like to have screaming children needing your attention in the middle of trying to work out. She also knows what it's like to hide in the closet and eat chocolate—that endeared me to her right there. Megan does a lot of fitness coaching, and she even has a website dedicated to telling women how to get healthy and simple ways for moms to get fit. One thing to know about Megan is that she's not a model or an athlete, in fact, she'll tell you that she's really mediocre in all those areas. She does know so much about health, fitness, nutrition, and about being a mom. She worked in the fitness industry for over a decade and after getting fed up, she started her own company, Strong Mommas.  I do want to note, I'm putting a little bit of parental guidance on this episode. I know we've talked about my eating disorder in the past, but we go into a little more detail in this episode. If you're a mom, I'd love for you to listen to this episode before passing it along to your daughters (or sons). I just wanted to be careful about this topic of conversation.  Get links and show notes here: https://kristiclover.com/089 Find out more information about my new book here: https://kristiclover.com/MOMbook  I know that you’re going to love this interview with Megan! Get ready to be encouraged!
SJP #80: Time Management Hacks with Morgan Tyree

SJP #80: Time Management Hacks with Morgan Tyree
SJP #80: Time Management Hacks with Morgan Tyree I am excited for today’s episode on organization because you know my passion is helping people get organized. I wasn’t always a master organizer - read about my journey if my book Master Organizer of Mayhem. Which is why taking a whole month to discuss organization is so special to me! I get to talk with some experts and share what I have learned through the years of parenting and trying to get organized — because it’s a whole other ball game when you have kids aka people who move things, as I refer to them in the book. Today we’re going to take a look at a very important piece of the organizing puzzle and that is time management. Time management is really the key to getting organized in so many ways! If we’re not making time to get organized, it’s not going to happen. Today I have my dear friend, Morgan Tyree, with us to discuss time management hacks outlined in her new book, Take Back Your Time. We’re going to hear about how she categorizes time management because her way is VERY unique and effective! She is a professional organizer and calls herself a chaos calmer (which I think is just beautiful). Check out her blog, morganizewithme.com to learn more about her!
