How to Make Better Decisions and Respond Toward Your Highest Good

How to respond better to whatever happens
Unless you're faced with an emergency, reacting immediately to a situation might not be in your best interest. But how do you not react?
In this episode, I explore what it takes to respond more optimally to any stimulus.
Please download the Respond Better doc so you can make better decisions for yourself in just about any situation.

Best Vegan Cruelty-Free Detergent and Review of Bodhi Restaurant

We have many detergents to choose from, but which are vegan? Which are cruelty-free? And for people with scent sensitivities, like me, which won't injure you?
I give a rundown of some of my favorite detergents (which are vegan? Which are tested on animals? Which aren't tested on animals but are owned by companies that test on animals?)
And I award my first Izolda Seal of Ethicality to a company that makes a vegan, cruelty-free fragrance-free detergent I love.
I also review another vegan restaurant. This one's vegan and kosher. It's Bodhi (used to be called Buddha Bodai) on Mulberry Street in Chinatown, NYC.
Listen in to get the scoop.

Change Your Words. Change Your Life.

This one small switch can change it all in your day-to-day work and life.
The words we use matter. Specifically, the words we use on ourselves matter. If you're constantly berating yourself, you're going to feel it in your bones. The same goes if you always feel like you're under the gun with your to-do list. But if there were another way? What if you could change all your "must-get-done" and "have-to" to something that felt good and allowed you to transform how you deal with your tasks, chores, and obligations?
In today's episode, I detail a method I've embraced, and it's helped me a ton!
Download the Transform Your Overwhelm sheet and get started on your own to-do-list transformation.
