Welcome to the Living in Sync Podcast, I am your host Joelle Suess and on this podcast you are going to be hearing how you can live fully into the present moment of your life no matter what stage, season, or phase (of your cycle) you are in. I have been an accidental entrepreneur for over a decade. I have experience in direct sales, course creation, 1;1 nutrition coaching, and everything in between. For a long time I put myself into a box. At first it was at home fitness, then it was intentional productivity as a mom, then it went back to hormone health and cycle syncing, and now I am just sharing it all with you. I am going to be sharing solo topic episodes as well as amazing guest conversations about all the things. No matter if you are a stay at home mom, corporate climber, entrepreneur, or anything in between I hope you enjoy each weeks topics because it is going to be a blend of everything! Health, wellness, nutrition, and living in sync with your cycle will still be some of our highlighted topics but why do we have to be so obsessed with our bodies losing weight when life is so bountiful and beautiful. There is so much more to life! I am in the midst of evolving, changing, and challenging myself! If you are in for real life topics of conversation make sure you are following the show so you don’t miss an episode!

"I've never truly felt what I would call God nudges before until the graphic design work, and that's been something that, if you feel like that's weird gut intuition that this is what you're supposed to be doing, that this is something I would never have been able to understand what that felt like before until now."

Let's do something fun... like a game! In this episode of Living in Sync Podcast I am talking about a "Wouldn't it be fun if" practice that my friend/mentor/sister from another Mr Andrea Crowder introduced to me.
I'm really excited to talk about the importance of letting your mind wander and embracing all the what-ifs without any limits. I've personally seen how this practice has shifted my own way of thinking, sparking my imagination and helping me envision greater possibilities. I want to encourage you all to give it a shot because I truly believe it can strengthen your faith and open up new doors you might never have considered.
Plus, I'm thrilled to talk about The Underdog which is such amazing series of empowering audios and I'm eager to hear about the big, expansive dreams you've got. Let's dream big together!
