    If your brain feels like it has 47 tabs open, this episode is for you.We’re talking about mental wellness, not productivity, not performance, just clear thinking. Hanna shares about the mental load of motherhood and her slow breakup with the scroll.

  • Environmental Wellness
    2024/10/30

    Creating a peaceful, functional environment isn’t about becoming a hippy, minimalist, tree-hugging, eco-warrior freak (but hey, if that’s your thing, more power to you). It’s really about making your surroundings work for you, not against you. In today’s episode, we discuss environmental wellness and how simple changes in your surroundings can make a huge difference. Zach talks about his love of organization, Hanna shares tips on keeping the home functional with five kids, and we discuss ways to make your environment life-giving.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Minimize Excess: Less stuff = less stress. Cut down on what you don’t need, and it’s amazing how quickly peace follows.
    • Define Your Spaces: Whether it’s a “work zone” or “relax zone,” having designated areas helps set boundaries and keeps things sane (for you and the kids).
    • Get Outdoors: A little time outside can reset your energy, clear your mind, and bring some balance to the day.
    • Reset to Zero: A nightly tidy-up, even for 10 minutes, makes the space feel fresh. Defined chores let everyone pitch in.
    • Progress > Perfection: Environmental wellness isn’t about perfection. It’s about making small, intentional changes that make your environment feel right.

    Let’s be real, getting exercise, enough sleep, and eating healthy can feel impossible some days. Today we share some personal stories, practical tips, and useful recommendations to help physical health. Zach nerds out about sleep while Hanna touches on the challenges of sleep, then we ramble about different types of exercise, and the importance of a nutritious diet and the 80% rule. Plus, Forest drops in with a joke that’ll make your day. Key Takeaways: Exercise: The goal is consistency over intensity. You don’t have to be a fitness freak, just get sore, sweat and breath hard.Nutrition: Whole foods over processed foods. If it was alive recently it’s probably good.Sleep: Good sleep is a game-changer. Start with small changes, like a bedtime routine or cutting down on screen time before bed.Progress Over Perfection: No need to do it all at once. Just take small steps that move you in the right direction. We would love to hear your thoughts! Please leave a review!
