My guest today is Kari Warberg Block. While we had technical difficulties during the recording, I enjoyed my conversation with her. Her words inspired me, and I am sure they will inspire you, too. Kari began her entrepreneurial journey as a farmwife with an annual income of just $18,000. Despite limited resources, she identified a gap in the market and saw the potential to build a successful business.Kari revolutionized the industry by introducing non-toxic pest control solutions through her unwavering determination, innovative approach, and successful lobbying efforts in Washington, D.C.. Today, Kari has transformed her small pest control business into a $360 million empire.Kari's story inspires aspiring entrepreneurs, demonstrating that anyone can achieve extraordinary success with passion, perseverance, and vision.Even more, Kari is known by most as a #KindnessRebel, which means caring enough to stand up and speak up for yourself. www.earthkind.comThis track was made by my daughter, Jasmine.

Today’s episode is about the life-changing power of winning routines and why prioritizing ourselves is critical to reducing overwhelm and achieving our goals. As a total health, habit, and empowerment coach, I often discuss the importance of consistent routines. However, it took my own experience with burnout and anxiety to realize their true impact.In this episode, I’ll share how placing myself on the back burner led to unexpected challenges with mental health, which ultimately inspired a journey of spiritual growth and intentional self-care. I discovered that a grounded relationship with God and surrounding myself with supportive people were crucial steps in my healing. Now, routines like nighttime winding down and morning intention-setting allow me to nurture my mind, body, and spirit daily.Join me as we explore how even small adjustments in our routines can build resilience, reduce stress, and lead to a more balanced and fulfilled life.Thank you for tuning in to this week's episode!

Today's guest is Lindsay Wilson. Lindsay is a certified personal trainer, functional nutrition student (soon to be graduating and currently taking clients), and certified health coach who has broken through many life barriers. From listening to the stories others told her to finally finding her freedom to become who she is meant to be, Lindsay is a true testimony of what can happen when we don't give up and continue to believe there is a better way. Lindsay is the founder of Coreset Wellness, LLC. She also worked as a coach with 2BEpic Fitness and Nutrition, LLC, doing online coaching and one-to-one training while we recorded this episode. She has since returned to doing her own thing, and I fully support her journey. This episode also discusses some of our mental struggles and how not giving up can lead to true blessings. It also confirms the importance of nutrition in our lives and paying attention to how we fuel our bodies.
