TMHS 292: Create A Culture Of Health In Your Family And Why Fitness Is A Launchpad To Success - With Guest Anne Stevenson

Published: June 13, 2018, 2:10 a.m.

No one else can do your push-ups for you. This means that there is always an amount of personal responsibility and action you need to take to be a better version of yourself.

Those are your arms, your lungs, and your chesticles you\u2019re working doing those push-ups. But, in many ways, we share our hearts and minds with others.

Your desire to be better for your kids could be the WHY behind your reps. Your drive to show your community what\u2019s possible could be the WHY behind the choices you make at the dinner table each day. Our relationships drive us.... and they also devastate us. They give us the fuel we need to grow: the good, the bad, and the ugly. But I\u2019m here to share with you today that you can have a lot more of the good, and a lot less of the ugly, if you realize how to approach your relationships with heart, intention, and a willingness to be better yourself.

I\u2019m in a pretty interesting place because I\u2019ve been with my wife for almost 15 years, yet a lot of the time I feel like I just met her, and I\u2019m overjoyed just to be around her. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything innately different about us\u2026 there was a phase when we pretty much wanted to avoid each other (insert laughing but serious here). But something changed\u2026 we DECIDED to work on us. Not just separately, we had plenty of personal development we were working on, but deciding to work on us together as a unit is what shifted everything. We\u2019ll call it Together Development\u2122 (that\u2019s right\u2026 called dibs!).

My guest today is the person who\u2019s helped me to grow the most. She\u2019s shown me through her actions, words, and being how to love, be loved, and be the best human that I can be. She\u2019s the mastermind behind several successful businesses, she\u2019s an inspiring speaker and force in so many people\u2019s lives, she\u2019s a devoted mother, giving friend, and a fox of a wife.
