Summary
EP119. For over a year Renee has just been adding and adding and adding to her plate. She finally sat down and wrote a NOT-TO-DO list in hopes that she will have more time to focus on what's important to her. She is always looking to add things to her life to find "balance" but, what she needs to do is cut things out! In this episode she talks about what balance even means and gives some advice on how to feel more balanced at the end of the day.
"I'm trying to spend more time on things that are a priority to me. This is the first time in my life that I've made a not-to-do list." - Renee

| 0:00.0 | Is drinking raw milk safe like RFK Jr. suggests? Can you reduce a glucose spike if you eat your food in, quote, unquote, the right order? I'm registered dietitian Abby Sharp. I host a nutrition myth-busting podcast called Bite Back with Abby Sharp. And those are just some of the questions I tackle with qualified experts on my show. |
| 0:21.4 | There is so much food misinformation and disinformation out there, and it can feel impossible |
| 0:27.9 | to know what's real and what's BS. |
| 0:30.7 | On Biteback, my goal is to help listeners create a pleasurable relationship with food, |
| 0:35.3 | their body, and themselves, which in my opinion is the |
| 0:38.6 | fundamental secret to good health. Listen to bite back wherever you get your podcasts. |
| 0:44.8 | This podcast is brought to you by Podcast Nation. |
| 1:08.8 | And I'm definitely the mom friend you have always wanted. All right, all right, all right. For a while, |
| 1:14.4 | I was starting most episodes with that Matthew McConaughey. All right, all right, all right. I don't know why |
| 1:22.4 | I stopped. Anyways, it is episode 119. I cannot believe it. Today I'm talking all about balance because for a while |
| 1:33.2 | I was feeling very much out of balance with regard to, you know, taking care of myself personally, |
| 1:42.0 | eating properly, getting exercise, also doing work stuff, |
| 1:46.6 | and then family stuff. So something that really made me start to think about how to have a balanced |
| 1:54.5 | life and what that even means is I listened to an episode of The Skinny Confidential and they had a man on, his name is Tim |
| 2:03.9 | Grover and he is like a athletic coach, but not like he's not the one that coaches the sports. |
| 2:12.2 | He is like a mental coach and physical as well for athletes. So he's not like the coach of the sport, but he was |
| 2:22.4 | like Michael Jordan, Colby Bryant, like all these top athletes. He's the one that was |
| 2:28.4 | guiding them mentally, but also physically as well. So in that podcast episode, he was saying how a lot of people |
| 2:37.6 | keep adding and adding and adding to their lives trying to find a balance when really what people |
| 2:44.6 | need to do is start removing things. And like a light bulb went off for me because over the past year when I started |
| 2:54.2 | all the mom room stuff, I feel like I've just been adding and adding and adding and trying to |
| 3:00.2 | do everything possible. So what was happening is I was working nonstop. I would drop my law off at school, come home and like work, work, work, work, work, work, do everything all day. I was like barely, most days I wasn't getting ready. I wasn't like showering. I wasn't eating properly. I wasn't taking time to do anything physically active. The odd day I would go for a walk, |
