Voices of Courage with Ken D. Foster - Episode 131: The Courage to Change Your Habits with Lucy Danziger and Allana Pratt

Today we discuss pivoting our lives and changing our limitations into powerful success habits.

 

My first guest, Allana Pratt, is an intimacy expert, relationship coach, author of 6 books, and the host of the edgy podcast, “Intimate Conversations.” She joins me today to discuss reprioritizing a new work/life balance, pivoting and creating a new way to give our gifts, and how to live unapologetically and attract an open-hearted, ideal relationship.

My second guest, Lucy Danziger, is a self-taught expert in healthy living, the Editorial Director and Chief Content Officer of The Beet, the former long-time Editor-in-Chief of SELF magazine. She joins me today to discuss the cultural shift that’s occurring in the way people eat, the health benefits of veganism, and why this pandemic has accelerated Americans to flock towards veganism and a healthier lifestyle.

 

We Discuss:

  • Why control is an illusion and other important re-connection lessons from lockdown
  • How we’ve been humbled by these uncertain times to go inward (and stop numbing)
  • How we can learn to live unapologetically without stepping on anyone else’s toes
  • Letting go of one way of doing business, pivoting, and creating a new way to give our gifts
  • Feeling our feelings and facing what we’ve been avoiding in ourselves and our relationships
  • Facing our shadows, questioning our values, and reprioritizing a new work/life balance
  • The advance of plant-based products as a meat alternative and how sustainable they are
  • How we can get enough protein from a plant-based diet without any animal products
  • The cultural shift that’s occurring in the way people eat and the health benefits of veganism
  • Why the pandemic has led some people to flock towards veganism and healthier lifestyles

 

“What if intimacy is really our vulnerable, transparent, honest relationship with ourselves, and what if that supports our relationship with the divine? And what if we can bring that level of home to our beloved, to our children, and to humanity in general?”  –  Allana Pratt

“One of the things we need to do is allow ourselves permission to take it step by step. And if we regress or we have a problem one night, if we drink too much or have too much sugar, move on and go forward. Try to be healthy most of the time. That consistency is what adds up.”  –  Lucy Danziger
