Are you tired of feeling like shit and not keeping your promises to take better care of yourself? This episode is for you.
Many creative people work from home or have lots of control over their schedule. And yet, they often struggle to make time for exercise or healthy meals.
We think that without a "job" that it will be easier to take care of ourselves, but the opposite is often true.
Jaclyn Ricchio Stover is a former public school teacher turned certified health and life coach. She specializes in helping people who work from home build systems for movement, meals and mornings that they can actually implement consistently.
She's also a good friend of mine in real life, and I can vouch that she totally walks the walk and practices what she preaches.
In this episode, Jaclyn shares her journey from struggling without any structure when she quit her teaching job, to deciding that she was tired of feeling gross and figuring out how to take better care of herself.
I love Jaclyn's simple, no bullshit approach to identifying what's actually standing the way and making it as easy as possible to take meaningful action. And her former life as a kindergarten teacher means she’s incredibly good at creating simple frameworks and systems.
