Tonya Dalton is a productivity expert who started her first business in 2009 working out of her dining room juggling two small kids. By 2011, she had grown the business to the point where her husband could leave corporate America and come work with her. By combining her entrepreneurial spirit with his MBA and marketing experience, they were able to grow a small niche business quickly into something that could support their family. The company continued to flourish, but something was missing. In the summer of 2014 she closed up shop to follow her true passion of starting inkWELL Press - a company centered around productivity tools and training. inkWELL Press launched in November of 2014 and has been able to rapidly grow its online presence and expand into a national retail partnership thanks to a commitment to quality, focused marketing efforts and fiercely loyal fans. Recently Tonya launched her podcast, Productivity Paradox, which debuted at #12 in iTunes in the Business category and surpassed 100,000 downloads in the first few months.

Christine Egan is a healthy living advocate, author of The Healthy Girl's Guide to Breast Cancer and part owner of non-toxic cosmetic brand Life On Mars Beauty. She ran a half-marathon after ending 33 radiation treatments, and a full marathon to celebrate her remission. Today she leads the #RedefiningHealthy movement -- teaching women around the world how to feel healthy in their bodies now, not after losing 15 pounds, finishing cancer treatments, or quitting their dead-end job. www.redefining-healthy.com

Sunday I ran my second ½ marathon. Sometimes I wonder why I do these things to myself. Am I pushing too hard? Not hard enough? Overdoing it? The truth is, I do it because I want to. It feels good, and it pushes me beyond what I think is possible for myself in the moment. In reality, I run like a turtle on caffeine, but it's not about how I look. It's about how I feel. Sustainable Motherhood to me is about showing up every day that helps me grow and sustain a lifestyle that brings me joy - so I can better serve the world. Because at the end of the day -- this is how I want my children to remember me, happy and present. BOOK I'M READING/LISTENING TO: Present Over Perfect by Shauna Niequist In a culture that values speed, efficiency, image, and busyness, some of us are aching for another way to live: more intentional, more connected. Simpler, slower, richer. Many of us have believed the myth that achievement and success bring us contentment, only to find it's actually things like connection and meaning, not success and achievement, that provide true peace and genuine happiness.

3 Journaling Strategies To Help You Get Clear On What You Want 1) I Want List: Keep asking yourself, 'what do I want?', write down every thought that comes to your mind. Example: A bath, a long walk, a new outfit, to start my own business, red lipstick etc... 2) Connecting To Source: Write with a stream of consciousness. Every thought, phase and sentence that comes to mind write it down. Keep writing, the more you write the more clarity will come. 3) The Braindump: This strategy is great for overwhelm. Dump everything you're thinking on a page. Get it all out. Walk away. Then once you've taken a break organize your thought and making a decision on your next highest leveraged task. " Thoughts are energy, energy is matter, and matter doesn't disappear. Pay attention to coincidence. You can choose your identity and a recent one: Only the present moment matters." ― Wunder Wend Have a personal question, email me [email protected]

"As children we found ways to protect ourselves from vulnerability, from being hurt, diminished, and disappointed. We put on armor; we used our thoughts, emotions and behaviours as weapons; and we learned how to make ourselves scarce, even to disappear. Now as adults we realize that to live with courage, purpose, and connection - to be the person whom we long to be - we must again be vulnerable. We must take off the armor, put down the weapons, show up, and let ourselves be seen." Darling Greatly with Brene Brown, pg 112 Email: [email protected]

" When my daughter turned one in 2012, I consciously quit my long-standing six-figure career to be home full time. Although this was a blessing to have had the choice to make happen, at the same time it was a huge adjustment from being a career person and having a very structured routine to a non-structured routine and no longer in "control of my day". At the prime age of 39, I found my daughter was "raising me" in ways I never thought possible. Prior to motherhood, I had parenting "all mapped out" – from how it would "look" and "go" – yet much to my surprise it was anything but what I expected. With my (unconscious ego), I figured since I had all my "ducks lined up" that stepping into my new-found parenting was going to be pretty smooth. Little did I know I was in for the biggest awakening of my life." - Sandra Fazio Sandra Fazio: www.theconsciousparentblog.com Sandra Fazio facebook: www.facebook.com/theconsciousparentjourney Ready to take your life and parenting to the next level?
