The Routine Queen Podcast: Healthy Habits and Mindful Living

In today's episode, Kristin gets real and honest and rambles about life. We're celebrating the podcast growth and the fact that the work you put in pays dividends well into the future (this can be applied to all things life, not just the podcast), and Kristin comes to the realization that Perimenopause may just be here and what that feels like. Full disclosure - it's rambly and unedited but it's real life, so hopefully it feels like you're having a conversation with your best gal pal. Have a wonderful week!

Have you ever had those days when you feel yourself spinning all over the place, overwhelmed and feeling like you're doing a thousand things but doing none of them well?If so, then this episode is for you. First off - you're not alone. We all have those days. And we don't have to get stuck in those days.Let's talk about how to recognize yourself starting to spiral, along with some practical tips to shift you from spiraling into feeling centered and grounded.

Today is a special episode. I first met Karen nearly a year ago at an event that we were both attending, where we ended up cold plunging in the ocean and chatting briefly. Fast forward to a few months ago when we were at another event together and we were able to connect more and she shared some of her story about her life and her approach to it. She is a very successful realtor and someone who embodies the fact that life is what you create. Today she shares her story about her youth and there is so much depth, wisdom, courage and resiliency to her. Karen - thank you for sharing your story and may we all come away with the gift of knowing that we do not have to give in to excuses or become a victim of circumstance. We all have the ability to create a life that we love and there is nothing stopping us from getting there.

Ali shows us that even though food and kids can often be tricky and sometimes frustrating - it also gets to be fun and rewarding. She walks us through how we can set our children (and us) up for success.

Ah... the good ol' Shoulds. I should have known better. I should have done things differently. I should have... I should have...Do you ever find yourself caught up in shame because you 'should have' known better or done things differently? We are all human. Sometimes, even when we are tuned in and dialed in, we may not have the answer. It's ok to release the expectations that we put on ourselves, reach out to ask for support and then be open to receiving it. This week Kristin gives a personal example from her health and wellness journey that has served as a reminder that we all need support sometimes :)

Let's Chat with Ellie from The Pleasure PortalJoin Kristin and Ellie as they discuss pleasure, desire, sensuality and so much more.

It's like going on vacation and not fully enjoying the vacation because you can't stop thinking that the vacation will come to an end.

This week we explore the importance of creating experiences for our children to explore independence, develop important life skills and grow their confidence. It starts with giving them opportunities to test, learn and grow from a young age with simple tasks which ultimately builds a strong foundation and toolset for how to navigate more complex situations as they go through life. Sometimes we, as parents, are quick to want to step in and help out because we can do it faster and better. Today we talk about the magic that unfolds if we are able to take a step back, be quiet and take the role as the observer (there to help if needed/asked) as we give our children the opportunity to learn firsthand.Connect with Kristin on IG @kristinwoodford

Pour your favorite beverage, press play and before the episode is over you will be adding Smart Sip to your next grocery list! This week Kristin and Ashlyn talk about Smart Sip, as well as bond over growing up in Saskatchewan and how to live your healthiest life (and how that changes as you grow and evolve).Meet Ashlyn:My name is Ashlyn Newlove and I am the creator and founder of Smart Sip Cream Co. I was born and raised in a small town in Saskatchewan and recently moved from the Cowichan Valley to Royal Bay in Colwood. As a nutrition coach who has helped more than 700 people reach their weight loss goals, and lost 35 pounds myself, there is nothing worse than giving up your favorite food and drinks just to try and lose weight. As a nutrition coach I saw a gap in the food & beverage industry as more than 90% of people aren't getting enough fibre, which plays a huge role in reaching their health goals. Sugary drinks that people consume leave them sluggish, struggling with their energy levels and elevating their hunger. I wanted to create a product that still gave them that delicious drink without all of the nasty side-effects. Many people don’t realize that when you have a diet rich in fiber you not only support your digestive health but you also regulate your blood sugar levels, lower cholesterol, reduce the risk of chronic disease and keep you feeling full and satisfied longer to aid in weight maintenance. For 13 months I worked with a recipe scientist to perfect a coconut oil based powdered creamer with chicory root fiber in it and launched it at the beginning of April. In the last 2 months I've started a creamer revolution and sold more than 1500 bags with plans to audition for Dragon's Den in the spring.Connect with Ashlyn:Instagram: thesmartsipceoFacebook and TikTok: thesmartsipceoWebsite: smartsipcreamco.comConnect with Kristin on Instgram: @kristinwoodford

Our life is always on a trajectory. Every decision we make is either leading us to a trajectory of health, abundance and all the goodness, or it leads us toward a life that we end up wondering how we got there. You have more control than you realize over your life. Your health, wellness, joy, thoughts and beliefs. Today is an invitation to take a look at how you can be more conscious of your daily decisions that lead you to where you are ultimately headed.

When you find yourself alone, do you savor the solitude or do you automatically reach for a distraction, either because you are uncomfortable being alone or you simply don't realize just how much you rely on distraction?Solitude doesn't need to equal loneliness. It can actually be beneficial and delicious. The invitation this week is to take some time in solitude without distraction.

This week we speak with Sarah Peters (Lambert) about therapy and how we can use it as a tool as a proactive approach to living a healthy and happy life. If you find yourself curious about therapy but feel like you need to wait until 'something is wrong' to go to therapy then this is your invitation to take a listen and explore therapy as a positive outlet in your life. Sarah Lambert is a dedicated therapist and business coach who helps women break free from perfectionism, people-pleasing, and trying to be everything to everyone. Growing up in an environment where love felt tied to achievement, Sarah struggled with self-worth, anxious attachment, and the need to always be achieving. Through her own journey of deep self-exploration and values-based growth, she discovered the freedom of embracing her authentic self, which she has evolved into aligned leadership. Today, Sarah leads a thriving group practice that offers talk therapy, somatic therapy, and art therapy, as well as coaching and community workshops. She is passionate aboutempowering women to reconnect with their emotions, reclaim their power, and create lives that are aligned with their true values.Connect with Sarah:Instagram: @sarahthecounsellor @sitwithus.ca Website: www.sitwithus.caDownload The Self-Empowerment Playbook: How to align with your true desires: https://www.sitwithus.ca/resources

Let’s talk about an “overnight success”, and how you usually don’t see all of the work that goes into building that success. Whether you’re making lifestyle changes, building a business or something else, it’s important to ditch the excuses and trust in yourself and the process, well before you can see tangible results.

Let's talk all things Holistic Home with Christy from The Common Nest. Home is where it all begins, and Christy walks us through what Holistic Home means and how it can transform and enhance our lives and those around us. Christy is a wife, a mom of three, a holistic home coach, a podcast host and a lover all things homes. With over twenty years experience in home creation, Christy loves to support people in creating happier and healthier homes with a holistic approach. She teaches this signature approach in the Common Nest Community through Holistic Home Method and Five Foundations of Home. The Common Nest Community is all about developing the mindset, motivation and methods for intentional home creation that prioritizes our wellbeing. It is a space to discover how to come home to yourself, clear the clutter, manage your time, increase your energy, and create the home you truly desire with function, love and beauty. Through private coaching, community and courses, Christy offers people the opportunity to create more success, fulfillment and joy in their homes and lives.
