The One You Feed Podcast

It takes conscious, constant and creative effort to make a life worth living. This podcast is about how other people keep themselves moving in the right direction – how they feed their good wolf.

I picked this book up after listening to an interview with James Altucher on The Lewis Howes podcast.  I started reading, Choose Yourself, in January, and I launched Together Unfolding in April.  Now looking back, this book is what planted the seed for me, and with the support of the coaching of Keenan Benjamin, I took the idea that came to me and brought it to life.  

This book gave me a fresh perspective on how to look at work, creativity, and of being of service.  I also appreciated the spiritual undertones that I believe James wove into his stories.  

I highly recommend this book if you are feeling stuck, bored, appreciative yet unsatisfied, or contemplating what your purpose is.  Choose Yourself, is an easy read, funny, practical to implement, and I even found it validating because I was already following some of the daily practices that James recommends.  

My Top Episodes:

• #19:  Rachel Mansfield - Instagram Do's & Don'ts
• #24:  Lee From America - Food Styling Queen, Epic Human & PCOS Realness
• #36:  Gabby Bernstein - Becoming a Spirit Junkie, Trusting in the Universe, & Awakening Your Spirit with NYC's Top Spiritual Guru

I've learned something from every interview that I have heard so far but if I had to choose, the following interviews are the ones that truly resonated with me:

 "Home Cooking for Everyone:  Easy, Fun, and Totally Delicious"

"Vegetarian or Vegan:  The Health Benefits of Plant Based Diets"

"A Plastic Ocean:  A Critical View on the Planet's Pollution"

"Spring into Action:  Detoxify Your Life"

"In the book, Harris recounts how—with the help of various mental health professionals, religious leaders, self-help gurus, and news industry mentors—he stopped using drugs (cocaine and Ecstasy), discovered the benefits of meditation, and resolved the apparent conflict between meditation-induced equanimity and the aggressive competitiveness required for success as a TV-news journalist."

Why I recommend it:

• Dan was very honest, funny, and open.  He really pulled me into his journey.
• The book was insightful and gave me additional sources to follow.
• Dan started off as a skeptic and is now a huge proponent of meditation.
• Dan has a podcast, 10% Happier, where he interviews other meditators from all different industries.  

This was one of the first books I picked up when I started experimenting with meditation. This book eased a lot of the concerns that I had in the beginning.

The Power of Now is a deep read but I couldn't put it down.  I found this book to be very insightful.  I highlighted many - many pages. It gave me a deeper understanding about 'being present.'  I will pick this back up in the future and re-read for sure.  

The Magic is a light read.  I gained a different perspective on how to truly exercise gratitude in my everyday life.  So fun.
