I had the best opportunity to connect with the members of Magnolia Fit to teach them something that is dear to my heart, nutrition. If you have been with me a while, you’ll know that I was a female nutrition coach for ten years before I jumped over to work with my husband. If you didn’t know, now you do.

I am obsessed with women’s health and happiness. Most of our leadership tools were created because of the tools we use in nutrition and exercise. They overlap a lot.

This is an intro to macros class, but also a look at how I view and teach nutrition in my coaching. It may be a gem in the middle of all this leadership stuff 🙂

Roof – Intentional Impact

  • Taking action on purpose that makes a real difference, a positive, lasting change.  It’s more than just doing things; it’s about doing them with purpose and mindfulness. When we act intentionally, we’re not simply going through the motions; we’re actively seeking to make a difference.
  • Intentional impact is about aligning our actions with our values and beliefs. It’s about being mindful of the consequences of our choices and taking responsibility for the impact we have on others

The Essence of Connection

Connection is the cornerstone of leadership. It’s about building genuine relationships, fostering empathy, and inspiring others. When we connect with people on a deeper level, we create a sense of belonging, trust, and shared purpose.

the goal: weave a rich tapestry of relationships

Why Connection Matters

  • Stronger Teams: Connection fosters collaboration, teamwork, and a positive work environment.
  • Increased Productivity: Engaged and connected teams are more productive and innovative.
  • Improved Morale: Strong relationships boost morale and job satisfaction.
  • Enhanced Reputation: A reputation for strong relationships can open doors to new opportunities.

Tips for Building Strong Connections:

  • Active Listening: Give your full attention to others and truly listen to what they have to say.
  • Empathy: Put yourself in other people’s shoes and understand their perspective.
  • Authenticity: Be genuine and authentic in your interactions.
  • Vulnerability: Share your own experiences and challenges to build trust.
  • Positive Reinforcement: Recognize and appreciate the contributions of others.

Conclusion

Humans are social creatures. We crave connection like plants crave sunlight. It is the invisible thread that binds us to others, fostering a sense of belonging, purpose, and joy. It is the foundation of strong relationships, vibrant communities, and a flourishing society. Connection is essential. Connection isn’t just about being in the same space as others; it’s about forming genuine bonds, building trust, and sharing a sense of shared understanding.

  • Ultimately, Confidence is the belief in you that you can figure anything out.
  • Confidence isn’t the absence of fear. It’s the ability to navigate despite it. It’s the internal fire that fuels your ambition, the quiet voice that whispers “you can do this,” and the unwavering belief in your own abilities. It isn’t about bragging or boasting. It’s about knowing your worth, embracing your strengths, and accepting your weaknesses. It’s the courage to take risks, to learn from mistakes, and to pick yourself up after every fall.
  • Confidence isn’t a fixed state; it’s a journey. It’s a muscle that needs to be exercised, a flame that needs to be nurtured. It’s built through action, through small wins and giant leaps, through facing your fears and emerging stronger.

Foundation of belifs and Values

To be a great leader, you need to make sure that you have a strong foundation. Your foundation is built with your beliefs and values.

Beliefs and values are fundamental principles that shape our worldview and guide our actions. Beliefs are convictions or opinions held to be true, while values are deeply held principles that inform our choices and behaviors. They can be personal, cultural, religious, or philosophical.

Beliefs and values are closely intertwined. Our beliefs often influence our values, and our values can shape our beliefs. For example, a belief in equality may lead to a value of fairness, while a value of honesty may be rooted in the belief that truthfulness is important.

Beliefs and values can have a profound impact on our lives. They can influence our relationships, our careers, and our overall well-being. Understanding our own beliefs and values can help us make more informed decisions and live more authentically.

So the question becomes:

Who do you want to be? 

ActivitY TO DEFINE YOUR VALUES AND BELIEFS

  • Write your Eulogy
    • A eulogy is a speech or piece of writing that praises a deceased person. It typically reflects on the person’s life, achievements, and impact on others. Eulogies are often delivered at funerals or memorial services to honor the memory of the deceased and provide comfort to their loved ones.
    • You will write yours as if you have died and you are giving a sketch about your life as defined above.
  • Now ask yourself if you are taking action to become that person.
    • Take another minute to write how you feel about that.
      • Are there things you need to stop doing, start doing, or continue doing?

If you’ve ever wondered about having surgery to “cure” PMDD, this is the podcast for you. I educate about different surgery procedures and how they differ, but also explain why I have chosen PMDD. Yes, you heard that right. I choose PMDD.

We’re going to be talking about the difference between a hysterectomy, a complete hysterectomy, and an oophorectomy. These are all surgical procedures that involve the uterus, but they have different implications for women’s health.

What is a hysterectomy?

A hysterectomy is a surgery to remove the uterus. The uterus is the organ that holds a fetus during pregnancy. It’s also the source of menstrual bleeding. There are different types of hysterectomies, depending on how much of the uterus is removed.

  • Total hysterectomy: This is the most common type of hysterectomy. It involves removing the entire uterus, including the cervix.
  • Subtotal hysterectomy: This type of hysterectomy removes the body of the uterus, but the cervix is left in place.
  • Radical hysterectomy: This type of hysterectomy is used to treat cancer of the cervix or uterus. It removes the uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes, and ovaries.

What is a complete hysterectomy?

A complete hysterectomy is a hysterectomy that also includes the removal of the ovaries. This is sometimes called a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO). The ovaries are the female reproductive organs that produce eggs and hormones.

What is an oophorectomy?

An oophorectomy is the removal of one or both ovaries. This surgery can be done as a standalone procedure, or it can be done at the same time as a hysterectomy.

Why might I need a hysterectomy?

There are many reasons why a woman might need a hysterectomy. Some of the most common reasons include:

  • Heavy menstrual bleeding: This is a common problem that can affect women of all ages. A hysterectomy can be a treatment option for women who have heavy menstrual bleeding that doesn’t respond to other treatments.
  • Endometriosis: This is a condition in which tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside the uterus. This can cause pain, heavy bleeding, and infertility. A hysterectomy can be a treatment option for women with endometriosis who have severe symptoms.
  • Uterine fibroids: These are noncancerous growths that can develop in the uterus. Fibroids can cause heavy bleeding, pain, and pressure. A hysterectomy can be a treatment option for women with fibroids who have severe symptoms.
  • Cancer of the uterus or cervix: A hysterectomy is sometimes used to treat cancer of the uterus or cervix.

What are the risks of a hysterectomy?

Any surgery carries some risks, and a hysterectomy is no exception. Some of the potential risks of a hysterectomy include:

  • Infection: This is a risk with any surgery.
  • Bleeding: This is also a risk with any surgery.
  • Damage to other organs: This is a rare risk, but it can happen.
  • Early menopause: If the ovaries are removed, the woman will go into menopause. This can cause symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness.

What are the benefits of a hysterectomy?

A hysterectomy can be a beneficial treatment for women with certain medical conditions. For example, a hysterectomy can relieve heavy menstrual bleeding, pain, and pressure caused by uterine fibroids. It can also be used to treat cancer of the uterus or cervix.

What are the alternatives to a hysterectomy?

There are some alternatives to a hysterectomy. For example, women with heavy menstrual bleeding may be able to take medication or have endometrial ablation, a procedure that destroys the lining of the uterus. Women with uterine fibroids may be able to have them removed through surgery, or they may be able to have them treated with medication.

A hysterectomy is a major surgery, so it’s important to talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits before making a decision. There are also some alternatives to a hysterectomy that may be a good option for some women.
