Guest: Nastasha McKeon Age: 34 Location: San Diego, CA Wow Factor: Perseverance. My early life set the stage really well for this characteristic! It’s really served me well in all areas of my life. A business coach of mine once explained it like this. “Nastasha you amaze me. Most are walking on their path & they run into a wall. It looks impossible to get over and so they pack it in and go home. You see a wall and you attempt to climb it, when that doesn’t work, you try to go around it, when that fails, you blow right through it.” I’ve had a lot of opportunities to call it quits in business especially and instead of calling it when the odds seem stacked against me, I just keep going. I keep pushing through and I get the beauty of seeing what’s on the other side of that wall.

She is a firm believer that—as Hippocrates said—food is medicine and it is her mission in life to teach people how that applies in their lives by educating them and giving them the tools needed to make healthier choices. In her clinical and personal experience, she has seen first hand the impact of diet on disease. She has witnessed the healing powers of food to lower cholesterol, high blood pressure, reverse type II diabetes and obesity, as well as relief from depression and many other diseases. Nastasha is a believer in the mind-body connection and encourages a balanced and healthy lifestyle to promote overall health and wellness. “Be mindful of what you put in your body, in your mind and with whom you surround yourself.” “Eat food with purpose on purpose, limit stress, meditate, exercise and most importantly always keep a positive mental attitude.” These are a few of her core values and principles for achieving ultimate wellbeing Favorite Color: Ocean Blue

Guest: Katelyn G. Age: 26 Location: Lakehead, CA Wow Factor: when I realized (in my meditation classes), that only we can make ourselves feel a certain way. It is not what another does, or doesn’t do, our thoughts create our emotions. We can change them in an instant! I practice this wherever I go, at the grocery store, driving, at school, or at work. Every day there are moments where someone won’t be so kind, overly pushy, or shy. I look at those situations and talk to myself okay what is the underlying emotion that is making you feel a certain way back towards these people. Then I change my thought which will bring me to stability again. I also absorb the love when someone shoots me a smile or a kind gesture, it makes me flourish with added on happiness! What The World Needs More Of: Vulnerability! Bio: Long story short, I grew up living two completely different lifestyles with separated parents. Never feeling settled, or safe. I searched in all of the wrong avenues that one could take to find safety and love. One day I decided to change every aspect in my life; my thoughts, my feelings, my actions, & let go to of certain people. I began my journey of self-reflection/growth a couple years ago. I habitually meditate in every form, everywhere in my day to day life. I started this journey because I knew the only way to find happiness and love was to find it inwardly first. I wanted to free myself of past traumas and emotions I held onto which would play out in every situation. I could only evolve if I dug deep inside. I always had wonderful observations & advice I would give to others. I finally realized it should not just be offered I needed to utilize the tools I was sharing. Why follow someone’s guidance if they are not living it once I did that my world became whole. I love life and my mission is to bring any form of comfort to anyone who wishes to receive it.

Compassion 2. Empathy Wow Factor: My ability to think ahead, act in a timely manor and organize my schedule. Growing up with a younger brother, I had to think at least one step ahead if I wanted to have a say in what we were doing, where we were going etc. So I think I learned from a young age that if I didn’t think ahead, I wouldn’t get to sit next to the person I wanted to at family dinners, or play with the toy of my choice instead of my brother getting to take it first. When I was younger I also sailed a tall ship around the world and I think that greatly impacted my character today. Onboard we had to be on time and if we were more than 90 seconds late we were reprimanded- the reason being that they would have to assume a man overboard drill for safety purposes. So I learned very quickly the value of being on time when that was a daily focus 24/7 for an entire year of my life. And as a new mom, I think everyone can understand the importance of schedules. Be it sleep, pumping or feeding schedules- you have to pay attention to your time. I think there’s a lot I still have to learn, but I’m really good at time, organization and thinking ahead.

I think the biggest events that have shaped this in me would be the death of my father, going through a tough divorce in my early twenties that I didn't see as part of my plan, and just being with people and hearing their stories.
