Today I chat with marketing expert Alex Beadon about how she discovered ease in the kitchen that led to steady energy and positivity in her workdays (so proud to have had a hand in that!), how she’s finding a balance between going all out with self care and being okay with doing “less” than she thinks she “should”, and the relaxation she finds through removing items from her entrepreneurial plate and prioritizing ONE thing at a time.“Think of how much time you could spend on what really matters if you got rid of all of the excess.” – Alex BeadonIn today’s episode, you’ll learn:What diet shift she made during an intense launch that changed her life forever and keeps her from crashingHow she brings vibrant energy to all her videos (hint: it’s not what I expected!)

From even before we had met in person, I already adored her – she’s warm, generous, and real.
