Does life feel a little too busy and chaotic? Between your family, your career, home upkeep, meal planning and prep, and so many other things... do you find it difficult to live a lifestyle that feels healthy... and productive... but also calm and unrushed?
If so, you are definitely not alone, and you are in the right place! This podcast is all about creating healthy and productive habits that last.... in a way that feels relaxed, but also fun and exciting! Definitely not restrictive and boring.
I'm your host, Kiley Owen. I'm a physician assistant, writer, and coach who is obsessed with the topics of:
Long-term healthy habit development (aka creating a healthy lifestyle), despite all the things that stand on our way.
Making the most of our precious, valuable time. Because we all have the same amount of time in the day, and how we choose to spend that time is so important.
I'm also a mom and a wife who understands how challenging it can be to feel healthy and productive in our everyday life, especially when we're caring for others, pulled in so many directions, trying to balance all the things.
In my own life I've struggled with career burnout and living very reactively (you know, where it seems like you're always behind, you feel like you're constantly putting out fires, and you're just trying to get through the day?). And I've definitely struggled with some unhealthy habits like grabbing convenience food on the go all the time, not exercising, and being sleep-deprived.
So I know firsthand how these things zap our energy, steal our joy, and leave us feeling lousy. And that's exactly what I want to help you avoid, or break free from (if you're already there).
Some of the topics I'll cover include:
Habit development principles that are super useful to be aware of,
Time management strategies that can make a huge difference in your week,
Ways to create better routines and systems,
Simple hacks that just make life easier,
And of course, a big focus will be on prioritizing your own health and well-being in this process... so you can feel and look great while doing all the important things that you do!
I'll also cover some mindset topics, such as:
Motivation (both getting and staying motivated).
We'll talk about consistency and maintaining momentum.
We'll look at ways that we can improve our self discipline.
And a big one is avoiding self sabotage.
So if these topics interest you, I hope you’ll join me. Let’s get you on your way to healthy and productive living!
