Empowered Team Podcast

When you lay down to sleep at night is your mind running wild? Going bananas? Kari calls it Monkey Mind and it's a barrage of thoughts on loop that can be hard to shut off. Well good news ... Kari will walk you through how to tame that orangutang and get your mind focused on where it needs to be! 

Wow. Sometimes life just keeps coming at you and for us it's been an action packed couple of months. Getting through the challenges life can throw at you takes skills and practice. On this episode of the podcast we dig into the events that have shaped our days and nights and what has worked (and what hasn't) in dealing with them. We hope you can take something away that will elevate your experience!

We have a wonderful treat for you today - Beach Volleyball World Champion Melissa Humana-Paredes joins the show to talk volleyball, training during the pandemic, finding your identity and banana bread amongst other things! Melissa is a joy to talk to and her energy is infectious (I know ... great word choice given the current climate). We hope you love this conversation as much as we did, stay well!!

Quick reminder, the third Empower Reset starts next week and you still haven't signed up. What elements of your life do you want to up-level? Do you want to shift the focus onto yourself to be your best? How do better relationships, fitness, motivation, thoughts, focus, and drive sound? This is your chance - go to www.theempowered.ca right now and grab your spot for our November Reset. 

Happy Monday everyone and welcome to another opportunity to up level your mindset! Today Kari is asking the question "Are you an actions manager?" - sounds like it might be a good thing, but it's not if high performance is your goal. Listen up for a great lesson on a mental shift you can make that will have massive results in your life. 

Speaking of massive results, we are running another Empower Virtual Reset starting in the first week of November! Our last two Resets have brought the participants incredible results in living their lives to the fullest. Mental, physical and spiritual growth is the game - launching you into the darker months of the year in top gear. Go to www.TheEmpowered.Ca to get in on this Reset.
