159. Should You Try Carb Cycling?
Switching up your carbs for a few weeks can be a good idea — but carbs aren’t out here doing all the work alone. This isn’t a solo act, it’s a party — and what’s a party without a little movement on the dance floor? That’s right, you need exercise too.Think of it like planning a great party: carbs are the guests, protein is the DJ, fat is the sound system and your attention to what you’re eating is the nosy neighbor watching through the blinds. On low-carb days, something else has to change — maybe you move more, maybe you cry a little. Who knows? But it all has to come together.At the end of the day, it’s really just another sneaky way to get you to pay attention to what’s on your plate instead of just what’s on Netflix.Products Mentioned: Raw Sugar Clarifying Shampoo0:26 - Story Time7:26 - Review of Call to Action10:32 - What we love14:13 - Carb Cycling39:30 - New Call to Action

158. Are You Too Busy Chasing Happiness to Be Happy?
We tackle the big question: Is happiness a treasure hunt or a DIY project? We unravel the myth that joy is hidden in a six-pack, a bulging bank account, or a corner office. Instead, we suggest that true happiness might just be in finding meaning, purpose, and maybe even in that last piece of chocolate cake. We talk about the fact that life is a mixed bag of emotions, and the secret to happiness might just be in strong relationships and a dash of gratitude. Plus, we share some practical tips like practicing mindfulness—because who doesn't need a little zen in their life?Products Mentioned: Good Molecules - Discoloration Correcting Serum0:32 - CTA review5:27 - Things we love7:16 - Chasing Happiness32:43 - New Call-to-Action
