The H2 Leadership Podcast

Routine, rhythms and structure are so valuable to our continued health and longevity. But what happens when you get stuck? Sometimes we hit a wall with our creativity, with our discernment and we need something to help us break through.  In this episode, Alan and David have a conversation about changing our place in order to change our perspective. Sometimes getting out of a rut is as simple as working at a new coffee shop, taking a half-day retreat, or spending some time in a hammock.  Carving out time to intentionally break up your routine and comfort zone can be the difference between confusion and clarity.  At Stay Forth Designs we believe in this principle so much so that we are now offering intentionally designed experiences called "Stay Forth, Go Forth." These are where leaders can come to a curated space of rest, good food, fun and conversation centered around our leadership, health and longevity.  The next "Stay Forth, Go Forth" is in Phoenix, AZ and we're calling it our "Phoenix Fill Up."

Do you continually feel like you are running on fumes? How about even when you get a full night of sleep?  In this episode, David has a conversation with Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith. As an MD Saundra kept having conversations with her patients about common symptoms like chronic fatigue and restlessness that often led to nagging sickness. Her experience led her to explore the effects and benefits of rest. In her book "Sacred Rest," she unpacks 7 different types of rest. Some are familiar, like physical rest and others may surprise you, like creative rest. No matter who you are we believe that this conversation with Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith can help you take steps toward a more rest-filled life.  Follow Saundra at: www.ichoosemybestlife.com And pick up a copy of "Sacred Rest" Here
