The Brian Keane Podcast

Sarah is an exercise physiologist and nutritionist. She specializes as a women's confidence coach with a holistic focus on mindset, nutrition and fitness. With her 22 years of experience, her goal is to help transform your mind and body to rock "your mom bod" with confidence. We sing from a very similar hymn sheet in our fitness approach and have quite similar backgrounds; so this was a very enjoyable conversation. If you are a parent or plan to have children in the future, there is exceptional value in this episode for you. Here are some of the things we talked about in today's show: The horrible trend of 'fitness' and 'skinny' shaming that is trending on social media Building up enough self-esteem to deal with people not supporting you on your journey Dealing with online hate and trolls by developing more self-confidence and understanding why 'hurt people hurt people' Getting back to your 'pre mom or pre dad' self by asking what inspired you before you became a parent and not losing yourself when you have kids! Being too lean and infertility or erectile dysfunction issues Shownotes: Cycle syncing freebie: https://sarah.healthylifebalance.net/cycle-sync (Website) HOME | Sarah Gearino (healthylifebalance.net) (Tiktok) Sarah Gearino (@sarahgearino) | TikTok (Facebook) Facebook (Youtube) Healthy Life Balance - YouTube (LinkedIn) Sarah Gearino - Independent Business Owner - Healthy Life Balance | LinkedIn

Rob Lipsett is an athlete, physique competitor, youtuber and entrepreneur. Most of you will know Rob, either from following his massive YouTube channel of over 470k followers and his Instagram page with over 650k followers, but this is also his hat trick appearance on the podcast. He was on all the way back on Episode 80 and again for episode 205 (both will be linked in the episode description). On top of running, owning and being a part of several businesses, he is also the host of the podcast The Game Plan (named after his best-selling book) , which can be found everywhere podcasts are found. Rob is always brilliant to speak with and I think this third episode is the best yet. Here are some of the things we talked about on today's podcast: Where motivation comes from Monk mode and when to use it to get sh*t done Deep work, being productive and finding passion in your life The question everyone needs to ask themselves regularly The importance of choosing the right spouse or partner Learning from past relationship and business failures And much more.

Dr. Grayson is a behavior change communications consultant who teaches about Public Health Communications in the Master of Public Health Program in the Larner College of Medicine at the University of Vermont. Her life changed in 2016 when she suddenly realized that she had been concealing a lifelong dependence on sugar and carbs beneath a web of denial ("It's just a sweet tooth") and rationalization ("I've been good so deserve a treat"). After she taught herself to quit, she started helping others do the same by creating the program Breaking Free from Sugar, which has helped over 3,000 people successfully reduce how much sugar they eat. That program is shared in her book "The Sweet Tooth Dilemma". In today's podcast, we discuss all things sugar and what we can do to get it under control to improve our waistline, mood and energy levels. Here is what we talked about: Processed and refined vs natural sugar – what you need to know The difference between sugar and food addictions The porridge to avoid when trying to manage blood sugar levels The 5 pathways of sugar dependency Sugar misconceptions The non-obvious things to avoid And more Shownotes: (Website) http://createchangelab.com (Facebook) http://facebook.com/createchangelab (Instagram) http://instagram.com/createchangelab (LinkedIn) http://linkedin.com/in/agrayson (Books) Publishing – ReadKit (createchangelab.com)

Today's podcast is a solo episode. As opposed to a recap podcast or even going through what happened in detail (as I sum that up in about 5 minutes) – I talk through some of the mindset elements I struggled with the most: expecting the unexpecting, just because something is difficult doesn't make it valuable, not forcing things to happen etc Hopefully there is a value here regardless of what stage of life you are in or the difficulties you may be currently going through. Short written recap: As some of you know, I flew out to Kyrgyzstan (beside China) to run 200km over five days up the Tian Shan mountain range. The plan was to hike for three days to acclimatize to the altitude and then run for 5 days up Tian Shan; but unfortunately, after picking up an infection in the capital Bishek, I only made basecamp 1 before I got hit with severe sickness. Here's the story about it and what I learnt from the experience. Shownotes: Quick links to all my programs, courses and books https://briankeanefitness.com/quick-links/ BTU discount code: KEANE300

This episode first aired on 3rd May 2021 Are you enjoying the podcast? Please leave a rating and a review. Paul Scanlon has trained and mentored people for over 30 years as a keynote speaker all over the world. After three decades in the not-for-profit sector, Paul has successfully transitioned and reinvented himself as an educator through both his LIVE and online Masterclass events in Communication, Leadership, and Personal Development. Paul's three strands of focus are: Communication, Leadership, and Human Flourishing. His hallmark is making complex things simple. Paul passionately believes it's more important to grow people than things. He believes that there's greatness in everyone and knows that most need the help of a well- chosen coach or mentor to discover it. He is also the host of the podcast Growing Big People with Paul Scanlon. This was a fantastic conversation and one I am very grateful for having. Although Paul's microphone quality isn't as high as other podcast guests, the value he speaks more than makes up for it. This was a mini therapy session for me so I hope you get as much from it as I did. Key Points ∙One of the big traps people fall into, especially with the political and cultural climate nowadays, is boxing themselves into a certain identity, or what Paul calls "labels". By labeling yourself solely by your sex, race, political affiliation, or religion, you adopt the "ghetto mentality" and limit your potential to grow and connect with people around you. Avoid imprisoning yourself in an echo chamber and open your mind to all that the world offers. ∙Social media has normalized our natural human tendencies to focus on the "highlight reels" of those we admire. This has created a generation of people who lack "getting- back-up" skills. Paul encourages us to read stories of great people and pay attention more to how they recover from setbacks than to the glitz and glamour of success that only comes after endless trials and hardships. ∙It's so hard to let go of beliefs, habits, and behaviours that are no longer serving us because 1) we don't know what to replace it with, and 2) we often learn these things via people we respect like our parents, and we fear upsetting that person by changing. It's okay to outgrow people. In fact, almost every new version of you that emerges involves leaving someone behind.
