Despite her struggles, Susan's resilience, faith, and determination have helped her overcome her challenges and empower others by first empowering herself. Her story is one you don't want to miss. Episode 1 Quotable moments: 5:56: “My family falls apart, I get diagnosed with a terminal illness, and I lose my business and end up homeless on my brother-in-law's sofa as a single mom in a 16-week span. And I got down on my knees and I said, God if you will show me the way I will do the work.” 11:53: “And I looked in the mirror and I took a hundred percent responsibility because I gave myself MS. I got myself into that situation. I, you know, love, love, love with all my heart, my ex-husband. I wouldn’t have a cell in my body that blames him for anything but I took myself to that situation.” 17:20: “The root of all anger is disappointment. And then I challenge myself with that athletic mindset. Like, oh, okay, how can I shorten this to, I'm just gonna be like having the wall-kicking moment for a day. Or can I shorten it to an hour? Can I shorten it to five minutes? And then what? Who do I need to be to say, okay, this happened. I'm over it. I'm moving on.” 19:03: “No one can take away our ability to feel grateful. No one can take away our ability to feel faith. We can only give those things away and we can trade down for less value, but we're never going to live into our own value if we're always trading down.” ABOUT THE BLUEPRINT PODCAST: The BluePrint Podcast is for busy professionals and Household CEOs who care deeply about their families, career, and health.

And that means is really two things. One, it means being able to kind of manage, direct, or control your thinking, feeling, and physiology, and as a result. And then two is to optimize how much you learn so that you can better execute the skills that you have on a regular basis.” 14:02 “Lead yourself first into the best, highest performer I can possibly be, so that I can give out everything I have to give to the world around me. That to me, is like true servant leadership. It's not, let me pick up everything for you.” 18:04 “Ultimately, like that's what high performance is. It's knowing what skills to use in what context, and so without context sensitivity, you're not gonna know what skills to use. You can't lead yourself first.” 19:19 “To me, that's what leading yourself is, right? It's about knowing like, how do I be the best me that I can be in each moment. And that involves reading the room essentially, right? Knowing yourself and then adjusting to the feedback from both places.” ABOUT THE BLUEPRINT PODCAST: The BluePrint Podcast is for busy professionals and Household CEOs who care deeply about their families, career, and health.

That is maybe 10 minutes from now. Drop it on the floor and forget it, and just focus on the problem at hand until it becomes very easy.” 07:06 “I think the application here is you know, breaking down, a problem or a trajectory into its component parts and then figuring out what are the things I have to work. What are the assumptions that I am making? And then your daily goal or the things that you commit yourself to are as simple as, well, is this moving me closer towards the thing that this is like, or is it moving me further away?” 15:45 “With the way that I kind of structure the business and the times that work is happening or a meeting is happening, I have to run a more efficient business to make it fit within the constraints that I have given it. Because otherwise, you will just expand the work time to fill the available time.” 16:39 “You better believe that when the forcing function is I sleep less. I'm gonna figure that out really darn quick, right? Because I'm putting pain back on myself and shouldering in a way that, that, that forces me to recalibrate.” ABOUT THE BLUEPRINT PODCAST: The BluePrint Podcast is for busy professionals and Household CEOs who care deeply about their families, career, and health.

This typically works for people who have been restricting so severely for so long that they're both psychologically and physically depressed from this prolonged dieting process to the degree that when you add calories to their diet, then they're able to improve mood and non-exercise activity, if even at a subconscious level.” 39:09 ”And by building new habits, I mean, not just the better food selection and a better sense of how much to take in on a regular basis. Not just those habits, the program habits, but also a better set of habits, that are in the realm of managing and dealing with deviations in, in the program.” 42:30 “Because at least in theory, if you lose a lot of lean mass along with fat mass, then the body senses this, and then you'll have higher hunger levels by the time you, you're at the end of the weight loss rainbow.” ABOUT THE BLUEPRINT PODCAST: The BluePrint Podcast is for busy professionals and Household CEOs who care deeply about their families, career, and health.

You know, think through the fact, if this happens again, how am I gonna respond?” 07:37 “But importantly, it doesn't have to be this big 50-minute, 60-minute, 90-minute investment to make reflection really work.
