13: Your Life Doesn't Get Better By Chance

"Your life doesn't get better by chance, it gets better by change." All too often we give in to the easy path of just throwing some wishes out there and waiting for them to come true... goal setting, affirmations, New Year's Resolutions; they all need concrete action to come true. You can't expect things to change just because you said so! This episode is an audio version of the LIVE show we do on Instagram every Friday @ 8:30 AM, called "Coffee Talk w Ashley & Locke."

7: You Are The Author Of Your Own Story

As much as it might scare us, we are the authors of our own stories.

6: What Is Health?

So many people fall into the trap of only focusing only on Diet & Exercise when thinking about health... But your health is about so much more than just that. "Your diet is not only what you eat. It is what you watch, listen to, read, and the people you hang around with. Be mindful of the things you put into your body emotionally, spiritually and physically."

We're back for Part 2 of "Our Story"! Part 1 was the fairytale, Disney movie love story, but Part 2 is when reality strikes back...
