I remember meeting Dyana Valentine a decade ago when we were in graduate school. I was completely drawn in by her vibrant personality and by the way she could walk into a room and make everyone feel seen and heard. I was also intimidated by her smarts, her sense of humor and what seemed like her total confidence.

Thankfully we became friends. I’ve continued to be in awe of how she moves through, and engages with, the world. She shows up 100% for everything she does and her mission is truly to be of service.

Today Dyana and I are talking about SuperConditions(tm). Dyana believes we are all born with a specific and unique set of SuperConditions that, when met, allow us to function at our best.

We talk about some ways to uncover our SuperConditions, how understanding them can positively impact us and the new SuperConditions game, a fun way to put our SuperConditions to work in our lives.

At the top of the show I also talk with Theresa Roth, co-founder of SuperLoveTees, which happens to be one of my absolute favorite places to shop for inspired and inspiring clothing. Theresa and her superlove, Bradford, started the company with the mission of spreading love worldwide. It’s hard to get more magical than that!

I haven’t spent much time talking about physical well being on the podcast but it’s hugely important in my own life and it’s definitely a key to magical living. It’s hard to feel good when you’re stressed, exhausted, overwhelmed and don’t have the energy to get off the couch.

I know from personal experience that what I put into my body greatly impacts the kind of energy I have and even whether my thoughts are positive or negative. (Did you know too much sugar can put you in a downward thought spiral?)

Lisa Consiglio Ryan invited me to be a guest expert during her last detox program and I loved the kindness and common sense that infused the experience, as well as the delicious recipes and sweet, supportive community.

Her new book, Go Clean, Sexy You comes out next week and is packed with great (easy!) recipes and tips on how to live clean and feel great.

We talk about detoxing, de-stressing, juices vs smoothies and why the occasional doughnut is good for the soul.

P.S. In another episode of Alana’s Guide to Magical Living at the top of the show, I talk with one of my favorite food people, Arnel McAtee of Arnel’s Originals. Her gluten-free bread mix made going gluten-free bearable for me five years ago and now all of her mixes are favorites in my kitchen. 

P.P.S. One thing I love about both of these women is how life handed each of them health challenges that transformed into a passion and eventually turned into a successful business. Magical indeed!

 

It’s hard for life to seem magical when we’re exhausted and unhealthy. How we feel on a daily basis has a lot to do with how we fuel our bodies.  There tend to be a lot of “should’s” in the health world (and even some shaming) but author and health coach Lisa Consiglio Ryan brings a dose of common sense … Read more about this episode…
