We are frequently asked by our listeners, readers and friends how we got started with nutrition school and operating a business.  Truthfully, it involves lots of coffee, failures, “googling” and incredible support from our spouses.  This week, we give a glimpse at the training we received, why you should jump right into pursuing your passions and what we've learned thus far.  We each have a different background and method for running our business, so you will get two different perspectives -- which is always a good thing!   Flavors of the Week: [1:25] Main topic: “Starting a Nutrition Business” [4:05] Goal of the Week: [40:55]   Starting Resources: Website Squarespace Wordpress   Newsletter MailChimp   Graphics Canva   Business Podcasts Raise Your Hand, Say Yes Being Boss Elise Gets Crafty Smart Passive Income Amy Porterfield The Fizzle Show   Be sure to subscribe to

Yes, summertime is bliss—late night patio dinners, sun-kissed skin, burgers and ice cream and lots of swim time in the ocean, lake or pool.  But it also means swimsuit season, and just those two words for a lot of people can bring instant fear!  We have all been there, the struggle is real!   The good news is you are more than just a swimsuit or a reflection in the mirror and the summer is about making memories, laughs and enjoying the sunshine with friends and family.     So listen along today about why you shouldn’t just prep for a season, but rather you should prepare for life!  At the same time, use this “swimsuit ready” season to motivate yourself to make balanced healthy eating and lifestyle decisions, because we want each of you to approach this season with confidence!   Flavors of the Week: [3:00] Main topic: “Confidently Prepping for Swimsuit Season” [5:55] Goal of the Week: [28:40]   Be sure to subscribe to The Nourishing Buzz on iTunes.
