96: How to become mindful rather than mind FULL
Well To The Core
05/03/23 • 23 min
Do your thoughts come racing at you as soon as you wake up? Oftentimes our minds run wild with the to-do list, reflections on previous conversations, or predictions about upcoming meetings.
It’s no surprise that the average human processes 6200 thoughts per day.
These constant racing thoughts can lead to anxiety, restlessness, and a general lack of peace without us even becoming aware of it.
That’s where mindfulness comes in. Performing acts of mindfulness can help ease a full mind by simply becoming more aware of the present moment.
On this episode of The Balanced Life podcast, you’ll learn how to become more mindful and less mind FULL.
You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...- What it means to be mindful [4:35]
- An example of how I used mindfulness to unwind [7:12]
- How Pilates improves mindfulness [9:20]
- How to become more mindful [12:36]
- Share your mindfulness practice with me [20:00]

If you’ve been following along on Instagram or Facebook, or are a member of The Balanced Life Sisterhood, you’ve heard Robin talking about what it means to create a healthy home environment. Often when we think of health and well-being, we think about the foods we’re eating or how much we’re exercising, but how often do we think about our environments and how they are supporting us?
Today’s episode is with Becky, aka “Clean Mama”, and she is the perfect person to be talking about this topic. Becky is a long-time member of The Balanced Life Sisterhood and she is an expert on what it takes to have a clean and healthy home. Becky has created systems and processes that take the stress and overwhelm out of housekeeping, and her work has changed the lives of so many people! We hope you come away from this episode feeling encouraged and empowered to create a healthier home and to keep it with a bit more order, without feeling overwhelmed. Be sure to follow Clean Mama on Instagram, @cleanmama, and if this episode was helpful to you, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts. If you think someone else would enjoy it and it could help them improve their environment and health, please share it with them! Lastly, you can join our free workshop to learn tips to help you build consistency in your fitness routine and boost your ability to create and sustain a healthy lifestyle, even when you’re short on time and energy like so many of us are. You can sign up now at https://www.thebalancedlifeonline.com/creating-healthy-routines-webinar.
Show highlights: what you can look forward to in this episode!
- Safety in the home with the products Becky uses has always been important, especially since a scary incident years ago with her oldest child and a product she came into contact with
- If you feel you’re too busy to clean, you’ll never get a handle on it. Becky shares her 4-part routine, starting with simple daily tasks that will actually give you back your time.
- Studies show that more clutter leads to more stress, but just cleaning off a table or removing items from one small area can make a huge reduction in the amount of stress that you’re feeling.
- Showing versus just telling or teaching your kids what to do will work so much better, and remember to break it into small, manageable tasks when getting them involved!
- There are certain things you can do if you and your roommate(s) have different cleaning habits, but it’s important to set the ground rules before moving in together.
- Becky shares her thought process when developing her own DIY recipes for cleaning solutions that are quick and easy to make.
- There is one area of the house that is worse than the others for toxins, which is why she recommends starting there.
- Becky and Robin share a lot of the same philosophies on life, and she’s a big believer in grace over guilt when balancing life and maintaining a clean and healthy home.

07/19/22 • 20 min
An exciting new chapter is here, and Robin and Matt are excited to bring you along today to share all the details!
Today’s episode is a special behind-the-scenes look at our recent company rebrand to Lindywell. You’ll hear their thoughts on why this change was necessary, the excitement (and some nervousness) that came along with it, and Robin’s hope for members of the community moving forward.
You’ll also learn the personal and special meaning behind the name Lindywell, and how this change provided us an opportunity to look at everything we were doing in the business.

We want to hear from you and cheer you on, and if you haven’t already, we’d be so grateful if you rated, reviewed and subscribed to our podcast to help us spread our message and continue to do the work we do here!
Show highlights: what you can look forward to in this episode!
- Why this rebrand is happening now
- The reasons that the rebrand is more a “doubling down” of what we are versus a complete change
- The story being the name Lindywell, and why it lands with Robin so much on a personal level
- How this is so much more than just a name change, and the ways in which it will be an upgraded experience for members
- Why evolution is necessary (and can be really good for us!)

The questions Robin answers today are the ones that she thinks will have the most impact, and hopefully help as many people as possible.

- Find time in your day to find at least one thing that you do daily to de-stress.

- Having a negative relationship with exercise actually led Robin to what she does today, and everything changed for her when she found Pilates.
- You don’t have to be perfect when it comes to your exercise routine, and give yourself grace, especially if you’re also raising children. Make small changes, and those small steps will add up to big results.
