Our guest on Feed Your Hustle today, Racheal Cook, is a self-proclaimed typical type-A overachiever who walked away from a consulting job where she worked 80 hours a week after she realized it was toxic for her mental, physical and spiritual health. After that breakthrough, she has completely dramatically re-designed every aspect of her life and business based on her own definition of success (where creating a meaningful life is just as important as creating a meaningful living). “You can have a beautiful life right now, while you grow your business.” – Racheal Cook Important Announcements: If this hits home, grab a free Healthier Hustle sprint sesh with me.

Today I chat with marketing expert Alex Beadon about how she discovered ease in the kitchen that led to steady energy and positivity in her workdays (so proud to have had a hand in that!), how she’s finding a balance between going all out with self care and being okay with doing “less” than she thinks she “should”, and the relaxation she finds through removing items from her entrepreneurial plate and prioritizing ONE thing at a time. “Think of how much time you could spend on what really matters if you got rid of all of the excess.” – Alex Beadon In today’s episode, you’ll learn: What diet shift she made during an intense launch that changed her life forever and keeps her from crashing How she brings vibrant energy to all her videos (hint: it’s not what I expected!) The philosophy that takes her from wanting to do everything and grounds her energy Her best advice for staying positive no matter what your business throws at you The morning ritual idea that I (someone who can’t stand routine and who n

Today I chat with my friend and mentor Alexia Vernon about why self-care is so important when organizing events and her best advice for setting up a live workshop or retreat, including her go-to healthy habits and lessons she’s learned in 15 years of workshop facilitation to keep stress down. I’ve been to many live events and workshops Lex has facilitated, and she’s my go-to lady for creating a transformational experience for participants and audience members AND for making good money doing it as a business while staying in her mission of supporting emerging leaders.

Today I talk with former news anchorwoman Nina Radetich who left a star-powered career for the lifestyle freedom to put her new family first as an entrepreneur. We talk about making time for self-care by using systems and a VA for social media, how she went from triathalon training to no time for fitness after taking the leap and how she found her way back, the temptation to immediately start working upon waking up, and her challenges to feed her hustle when she craves sugar and grazes through the day. I met Nina through the local female entrepreneur circle here in Vegas, and we keep popping up at the same events. From even before we had met in person, I already adored her – she’s warm, generous, and real. I definitely see some coworking dates in our future. “My priority is lifestyle first, business second.” – Nina Radetich In today’s episode, you’ll learn: Why she quit a job that she loved in order to pursue her dream of entrepreneurship The hard lessons she learned about healthy living during the first

Even I struggle to feed my hustle when living away from "home." If you’re anything like me, you can easily fall into the vacation trap, suspending healthy habits. That’s why I recorded today’s episode. “Location independence isn’t a vacation. It’s building a lifestyle that feeds your hustle, but with a different view.” – Adria DeCorte In today’s episode, you’ll learn: How I’ve incorporated part-time location independence (and I even bring my dogs) My biggest challenges to healthy living that I’ve had to overcome and what I do to prevent them now How to avoid getting in a fitness funk when you’re away from your usual routine Exactly what I stock my fridge and pantry with to feed my hustle when I’m living away How to take advantage of the unexpected “healthy living” benefits of living in a new place Mentioned in this episode: Episode 13: How to Stay Healthy When Traveling for a Conference A pic of my Portland yoga studio before 6am power hour Yoga with Kassandra – YouTube channel The Feed Your H

Talking with Whitney Lauritsen, the Eco Vegan Gal, about how a foodie entrepreneur eats during workdays and how she keeps a free-flowing schedule that shifts daily based on how she feels. “Wake up and say, ‘I can do whatever I want today,’ and make it happen.” – Whitney Lauritsen In today’s episode, you’ll learn: Why food challenges are just about strategizing (my key word!) and her best advice for eating a plant-powered diet on a budget How a foodie gets frustrated with food and forgets meals just like any other entrepreneur (and how she prevents hitting her hungry point) Breaking the “rules” including her morning routine that goes against all the common advice and sometimes eating her major meal at midnight How she deals with the constant criticism that comes with being a vegan YouTuber What she eats on a whole foods vegan diet and her go-to meal that feeds her hustle during work days The gift of creating your own schedule and how to use that freedom (plus taking time to relax) Mentioned in th

Hear what happened when I returned to the diner where I first ate that fateful waffle in my TEDx talk to see if making a different choice could recreate history.

Today I chat with podcaster and business owner Natalie Eckdahl, a wife and mom with kids ages 7-months old, 3-years old, and 13-years old. We cover the power of connecting in person with other entrepreneurs, how running a business with her husband is both wonderful and awful, how she gets her family involved with eating healthy, her tips on being assertive and direct like a man without losing your empathy, and her best productivity hacks (she’s a master at this). “Even if it doesn’t feel like you have enough time, take care of yourself first.” – Natalie Eckdahl In today’s episode, you’ll learn: How she tempers the bluntness of a man with the empathy of a woman to have tough conversations, keep her boundaries, speak up to her kids’ teachers, and be direct in business Why she’s raising her daughter as a future entrepreneur without even intending to What she does to get her family of five involved in nutrition (hint: her daughter and husband each cook a meal a week and her 3-year old asks for kale chips f

In today’s episode, I discuss what is probably the biggest challenge I see come up for female entrepreneurs around feeding their hustle – lunch time! My hunch is that if you had easy options in the fridge, you’d have a much easier time breaking for lunch at noon (before you’re famished) and resisting the urge to order takeout. It would end up taking less time, and you’d end up with way more quality energy for the afternoon. In today’s episode, you’ll learn: The one concept that, once you understand it, will revolutionize workweek lunch-making forever The challenges of three of your sister female entrepreneurs from the Feed Your Hustle community (I bet they’ll sound familiar!) Simple but effective actions to take in advance that will set you up to feed your hustle successfully  How I lay out my own fridge using these principles The exact same advice I build into clients personalized meal plans (and how you can apply it to yourself right now) What I use to save bandwidth making my own meals every day

Here are some reasons why I love today’s guest Marcie Mauro – fun is one of her top values, her upbeat energy matches mine (we thought we might explode the airwaves!), she structures her business around spending time with her family, and she’s open and honest about the struggles as well as the positives going on behind her scenes. In this episode, we set you up for emotional self care, not just the physical stuff. Marcie gets fired up helping others be more daring and take the risks that *actually* matter. “You don’t start a business if you’re not a risk-taker. But if you want to play on a bigger stage, make more money, your business can only grow as much as you do.” – Marcie Mauro In today’s episode, you’ll learn: How to overcome paralyzing self-doubt the next time you take a big leap in your business How she’s found balance between being a Type A over-achiever with big goals and raising her preschooler The preparation she does to feed her hustle when her challenge is forgetting to eat unti

Behind the scenes of how I took care of myself the week leading up to my TEDx Talk, a huge pivotal event in my life. So often when we have a big launch, speaking gig or other major event coming up, we somehow stop taking care of ourselves right at the moment we need it most… The moment we need to feed our hustle. I’m not saying I did a perfect job (because you know I’m about balance not perfection), but I want to be transparent and share with you what emotions and challenges came up for me and how I consciously fed my hustle with food and self care during what has been one of the most MAJOR events in my business. If you’re curious about the behind the scenes of a TEDx talk, you’ll like this episode. But it’s also for you if your personal life tends to fall apart and you feel out of control every time you have a launch or major event. “It was time to share my idea worth spreading, to be the conduit for the Feed Your Hustle Movement, and I was ready.” – Adria DeCorte In today’s episode, you’ll learn: How I t

In this episode of Feed Your Hustle, I talk with my friend Licia Morelli, a psychic who teaches entrepreneurs to use intuition to guide business decisions.   We jam on drawing in clients that don’t drain you, listening to your body to settle into healthier habits, the easiest way to incorporate meditation into your morning to allow intuitive hits to come through, and so much more! “Intuition is inside of you. Trust the answers that are in you.” – Licia Morelli In today’s episode, you’ll learn: Why getting goosebumps means you’re psychic (and you don’t have to be a believer to use it)  The easiest way to incorporate meditation into your morning to allow intuitive hits to come through (even if you’ve got kids bugging you) How to use skeptic-approved “practical woo” to guide your business decisions and accelerate your biz A daily ritual to protect your energy and draw in clients that don’t drain you, complete with directions How Stage 3 Melanoma lead to a powerful shift in her business a

Today, I’m talking about how to eat and live healthy when you’re traveling (without letting it take over your trip). Why travel? Even though we work online in the digital space, most of us are building relationships by flying or driving to conferences, meetups, and events every year. And, of course, vacations are essential to your self care. “Ladies, I need some advice/suggestions on eating well for travel. I’ve got two upcoming trips (yay!) but I don’t want to lose the amazing habits Adria has helped me to create.” – Nina We had a discussion about this in the Feed Your Hustle Facebook group a while back. I figured it was perfect timing for this episode in light of the holiday weekend and that I just returned this week from traveling to Dallas for Nathalie Lussier’s Off the Charts Live conference, a meeting of 200 incredible heart-centered female entrepreneurs. “The goal of healthy travel is to keep your energy flowing and avoid that tired, weighted down feeling that comes with lots of sitting and heavy fo

Today I chat with Susie Miller, a relationship coach for entrepreneurs, about how relationships are an essential form of self care, starting with your relationship with yourself and then radiating outwards to your marriage and family.  http://adriadecorte.com/episode12 Susie and I talk about how to prevent your marriage from becoming a business partnership, the three self-care acts she used to feed hustle during her book launch, and what you need to know as a woman to turn off your business brain at the end of the day and be fully present in your relationships. “When we take time to invest in our relationships, we are better as our whole best selves.” – Susie Miller In today’s episode, you’ll learn: The biggest challenge female entrepreneurs and “entre-spouses” face with keeping their marriage or relationship from becoming a business partnership Immediately applicable tweaks that will take you from roommates to romance The small psychological differences between men and women and how it could

In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of what my fitness currently looks like and how I recharge with off time. I pick up where I left off in episode 9 in this 2-part series talking about what’s currently going on in my own self care balancing act.  I’ll include the comparison of my old perfectionist exercise schedule to how I’m finding my way back to regular fitness, how I’m finding body acceptance, and my struggle to separate work from the rest of my life and be more present. “True BodyLove isn’t contingent on a specific weight or clothing size so that when we hit life changes (like entrepreneurship and motherhood!) our body image stays intact.” – Adria DeCorte In today’s episode, you’ll learn: Why gaining 10 pounds brought me closer to body acceptance  2 major steps I’m implementing to go from “no time” to work out to a regular fitness schedule that makes me feel strong and energized How I use movement to dissipate nervous energy before I hop on the mic for podcast interviews or take the

Today I chat with personal trainer and entrepreneur Catherine Basu and discover what she’s learned from interviewing successful female entrepreneurs about how each fits in fitness to power her business.   Catherine and I talk about how movement can drive creativity, energy, and productivity in your business. And if you think you’re just not a fitness person, she covers how she became an accidental personal trainer even though she was terrified of gym class growing up. I think you’ll find it a relief and inspiration to hear how even a personal trainer has similar self care challenges to the rest of us female entrepreneurs. “Adding in movement to your day can help you be more creative in your business.” – Catherine Basu In today’s episode, you’ll learn: What a personal trainer who also happens to be a female entrepreneur does for fitness (and the morning activity that is key to boosting her energy for the day) A sneak peak into her “Fitting in Fitness” interview series plus how fitness fuels succe

Today I’m going to get specific and transparent and share with you what’s going on in my own self care balancing act as I get more visible in my business, put myself and my brand out there, hustle hard, and keep my upbeat vibe.   I thought it would be valuable to take you on a tour of what food, movement, and mindfulness look like right now for me as a Healthy Living Strategist but also as a REAL person. I emphasize right now because these things change over time (if you like this episode, let me know, and I’ll do an update again somewhere down the road). I’m covering food today and I’ll move on to movement and mindfulness in two weeks for my next solo episode. “I don’t mind if I’m not perfect. I’d rather be relatable to my audience, let them see themselves in me.” – Adria DeCorte In today’s episode, you’ll learn: How I prepare for more visibility and media as I take the TEDx stage (hint: it’s not dieting!) My go-to breakfast and lunch for feeding my hustle during the workday A contrast between what I
