Part 1 & 2 Eating and Hydration
What does a Success Coach know about feeding your body?
Well, after 20 years of learning to live with and manage my own gut health and IBS, I've picked up a thing or two...
I developed a keen interest in the correlation between food/hydration and mood especially since working with clients attending anger management programs. And, I've recently had the privilege to meet and collaborate with several experts in food, eating and nutrition and feel called to share this with you.
There's a saying - "You are what you eat"... If I looked in your fridge, would it reflect who you think you are?
Drinking water has so many benefits for your mind, body and soul. If you need any further proof just think about the difference between plums and prunes!!
Listen out for my top tips on increasing your water intake by connecting water to another activity.

This month's focus is on truth and honesty. With the global current situation changing daily there has never been a more important time to be really clear, honest and true to your values and beliefs. There is a lot of scaremongering going on 'out there' and also a lot of #caremongering.
My question to you is what is going on 'in there' in your mind and in your heart?
Are you putting on a brave face for your team, your family when inside you are scared?
Are you caring for others out there in your community and ignoring your own and possibly your families needs?
Ok, so it is time to get honest and tell the truth even if it is to yourself first.
