Ever heard of the 50-30-20 budgeting tool? This practice suggests that 50% of your finances should go to your needs (rent, food, car), 30% should go to your wants (movies, dining out, new shoes), and 20% should go to your investments (401(k), RothIRA, saving for a house). I adapted this strategy to manage our busy schedules. In this episode I break down how you can dedicate 50% of your time to what you need to do (work and making money), 30% to what you want to do (hang out with friends, go on TikTok), and 20% to what you DREAM to do (write a book, learn a new language). This is going to be a gamechanger when you outline your week and find space to do what you truly desire in this life.

I became interested in blood sugar when I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) last year. Knowing that this is a blood sugar-related disorder I did some research and found out a shocking stat. According to the CDC, 96 million Americans are prediabetic. This number rocked me when I looked into it, so I felt compelled to spread awareness. With this diagnosis I knew it was an opportunity to take a closer look into my blood sugar and begin wearing a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) to prevent such diseases. Knowing that 1 in 3 people are pre-diabetic, CGM's will be the key to stabilizing blood sugar for the future. Here are my key takeaways from wearing a CGM from Levels Health for one month.
