Liz Career Coaching How to stay motivated to lead a healthy lifestyle with Ashley Barrient
As we continue the journey of reinvention I thought it would be great to have an episode that focuses on creating or maintaining a healthy lifestyle. While I like to think of myself as a fairly healthy person, I admit that I struggle in maintaining some of my health goals when life is on a fast train. But maintaining a healthy lifestyle can boost our performance in our daily lives personally and professionally, can help reduce our stress levels and bring more energy into what it is that we do everyday. For this episode, I invite a long time friend and colleague to share her expertise and give us tips as we strive to create change and form healthy habits.
