Today's Best

Welcome to Today's Best. You are exactly where you're meant to be right now.. listening to this episode (; This one is all about how to find peace in tough times, and how to stop talking to yourself like a failure.

MENTAL HEALTH episode. Full blast. Welcome to what is maybe the most personal and important episode I've ever done. 

This episode hits home. Today's Best was started because of the pandemic.. and now, well, here we are. Getting "back to normal". As exciting as it is, there's a common theme of underlying fear and anxiety over losing progress made - consistency in the gym, eating better, losing weight, etc. Tune in to this week's episode to restore faith in yourself and your ability to maintain any progress you may have made in the last year. 

Are our feelings always valid? Or can taking a step back and finding different perspectives help us to shift our mindset and emotions. 

Welcome back! This week we go a bit of a mindfulness route to discuss what it really means to live in the present as well as finding peace with not only your past, but your future. 

For this one you just gotta do as the title says (;

Pack your bags- you'll be ready to make the move after listening to this one. I am so glad I was able to be joined by Jill for this episode- she opened up about her personal life in a way that will touch many. Overall, this hour became filled with so much more than just moving tips.

As you will hear in the intro, I caution a trigger warning as this episode does cover all degrees of sexual assault - involving Kayla's real account of her own experience. As hard as some of this may be to listen to, Kayla and I believe this topic is incredibly important to talk about and we hope you will join us in starting more conversations.
