Are you constantly running around with no time for yourself? When this is the case, meal prep and exercise can easily slip through the cracks.

In this episode, I delve into the impact of how we use time and perceive how much time we have, has on our health. Discover a powerful technique to manage your time and prioritize your well-being: time-blocking. Get ready to face your brain\\u2019s resistance as I explore how to make time for what truly matters to you.

Then, I\\u2019ll explore the societal expectations placed on women and how it impacts the projects we take on, and therefore the amount of time that we have. These expectations often lead to judgment and shame if we fall short and don\\u2019t do what we or others expect. The pressure can even trickle down to our children, as parents push them toward success. When we can find balance and break free from this cycle, we\\u2019ll be able to have more control over our time. Through prioritizing and setting boundaries on our time, we can focus on our own health and well-being, setting a positive example for our loved ones.

Finally, I\\u2019ll revisit the topic of \'nice lady syndrome\': when saying \'yes\' to everything becomes a burden, overwhelming us with responsibilities, and the toll it takes on our mental and physical health.\\xa0

Join me as I discuss the power of saying \'no\' and how it will give you better health
