Welcome to the Feel Good Effect. Hey, so there's this whole self-love thing going on and also the

self-improvement thing. Have you ever wondered if you can do both or if they're totally

mutually exclusive and you have to pick aside? Well, that's what we're talking about today.

Let's make it happen. Welcome to the Feel Good Effect, a podcast about what it really means to be healthy.

I'm your host, Robin Conley Downs.

I'm a researcher, blogger, storyteller, and educator, and I know firsthand just how hard creating

a healthy lifestyle can be.

In this podcast, we'll talk to health and wellness thought leaders,

innovators, and visionaries to deconstruct healthy to help you feel good.

Hey, feel good at that community. I'm so glad you guys are here for this solo episode. I've been hearing

that these are resonating, that you're loving the shorter

form, and that you're really loving the two of us. We can just sit down together and dive into

these concepts of mindset and what health is really all about. Okay, so if you haven't taken the

wellness personality quiz yet, or if this is the first time hearing about it, I want to totally

encourage you to go to realfoodolife.com slash quiz, where you can take our groundbreaking wellness personality quiz. It's not a test.

It's not a judgment. It's just a couple questions that we have developed based on years of research

to help you understand your health mindset. Once you take the quiz, we will send you a free resource guide that is jam-packed

with not only resources, more podcast episodes that you're going to love, but also total aha

moments about who you are and your personality and how that may have in the past been

maybe a stumbling block for you when it comes to wellness. But we're here to tell you,

you're not

doing it wrong. You're not fundamentally flawed. We're just all different in how we approach it.
