LMNT. I'm proud to partner with them because they make staying hydrated simple and clean. My kids call it "salty water," and honestly, they ask for it at dinner. We feel good about it because there's no sugar, no artificial dyes. My favorite is the lemonade. My kids love the watermelon and pineapple flavors. It's hydration that actually works (and tastes good, too). Try LMNT here.


In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why your tone matters more than your words (and how to adjust it)
  • The simple phrase that makes any conversation more direct
  • What to subtract from your sentences to sound more confident

Need to have a tough conversation? Want to set a boundary? Trying to speak up in a meeting?

These tips will help you say what you need to say with clarity and confidence.

And through my highs and lows, you're still here. I believe a better world begins with a better conversation. Thank you...
