Cancer has touched all of us in some way - but most of us don't know what to say or how to be there for the person.

I spoke with Kim Hamer who is working to support those that support those with cancer - either personally or professionally.

After the death of her husband, Kim, an HR leader, noticed that managers received no guidance when navigating cancer or death on their teams. She saw how their lack of helpful tools and guidance was costly. It negatively affected employee engagement, increased turnover rates, and lowered productivity.
She set out to change that. Combining her personal experience with her professional knowledge and leadership skills, Kim launched 100 Acts of Love, a consultancy that provides tools to help leaders increase team productivity, trust, and engagement when cancer affects the whole team member.
She is the author of 100 Acts of Love: A Girlfriend's Guide to Loving Your Friend through Cancer or Loss, an easy-to-read book filled with 100 practical, quick, and effective ways to support an employee, friend, or coworker. She's an HR consultant and sought-after public speaker who lives in Los Angeles, where she tries not to bother her relatively well-behaved college-aged children.

There are many weight loss experts in the fitness industry but when it comes to sustainable weight loss, you will be hard pressed to find anyone who knows more about the subject and how to achieve it than my latest guest, Stavros Mastrogiannis, does.

Stavros is a 29-year veteran of the weight loss field and the founder of Live Your Way Thin System. As a Sustainable Weight Loss Coach, Stavros uses an unconventional approach to weight loss that helps people lose weight for life by reconnecting them to 5 ancient habits that most modern societies have forgotten. His upbringing on a Greek island, where thin and healthy was the norm and people in their 90s lived productive lives, gave him a unique life experience and gave him an insight on a healthy lifestyle that very few weight loss experts have.

I had a great conversation with him and I think you will enjoy it as well!

“Every Bite We Take And Thought We Think Are Either Investments In Our Health, Or A Debt We’ll Have To Repay Later.”

Those were amazing words from my guest this week, Gregory Anne Cox. She is a Certified life, weight loss, and health coach for women over 50 who want to take a rebellious approach to aging. In our podcast, we talk about what it means to be a rebel when it comes to your approach to health, covering such topics as cholesterol, Alzheimer's, the role our genes play, and the thyroid.

Really enjoyed this conversation - we are all getting older and understanding how to thrive during aging is a key component of enjoying the ride in this journey we call 'life'.
