Have you ever been so intensely focused on a work project or trying to meet a deadline for your business that you completely forgot to eat?

Maybe the first sign that you've been face deep in your screen for hours is a loud rumbling in your belly!

Or, remember when you were a kid and you played outside for hours and hours on end and when your mom called you in for dinner you protested? Hunger and food were the very last thing on your mind, because capture the flag wasn't gonna finish playing itself!

We go through so many processes in our lives not really thinking about food or nutrition, and then when we do eat, we often think of it within the frame of various different stories: food is entertainment, a reward, a link to a beloved family member.

Rarely do we think of food as just plain old fuel for our system and I'd bet almost nobody thinks of it as a business tool.

In holistic business, nutrition is indeed considered a business asset, just like Joy is a nutrient!

This week, I took the time to break down the difference between primary and secondary foods and how they play a role in your every day success.

In this episode, you'll learn about:

• the concept of food as fuel
• how nutrition is actually self care
• the difference between primary and secondary foods and why they matter

I also offered a classic holistic wellness exercise, The Wheel of Life exercise, that you can print out and use repeatedly to figure out which of your primary foods may need your attention at this time!

Give it a listen and make sure to grab your copy of the Wheel of Life exercise so you can bring this practice into your business tool kit.

On today's episode of Girl Makes Fire, we take a take a trip to the center of the Sun as the moon uses it's small but mighty and perfectly aligned energy to make a big impact on us mere mortals.

There is so much we can learn from nature, in general, but when we have these brief but highly visible experiences, such as a total solar eclipse, it seems even more important to pause, and take in whatever we can learn from the experience.

In this episode I'm sharing my 4 big takeaways from the path of totality including:

1. The power of a shining life moment (hint: your story!)
2. Clarifying how far you're willing to go to get what you want.
3. Becoming a market-maker by staying present with your audience.
4. How small things can still make a BIG impact.... that means you!

I loved taking a break from the business of my work day to step into the magical portal of the eclipse and take it all in from beginning to end.

Did you do something special to witness or celebrate this moment?

I'd love to hear your story and where you were, or anything you learned.
