Are you tired of swiping endlessly on dating apps with no real connection? On this Habits and Hustle podcast episode, I talk with Julia Hotz, author of "The Connection Cure," to explore the concept of social prescribing - a holistic approach to health and wellbeing that focuses on meaningful activities and connections rather than just medications. We discuss fascinating insights on how joining groups like birdwatching clubs or running meetups can be more effective for both your mental health and your love life than traditional dating apps. We also dive into practical tips on finding connection in unexpected places and breaking free from the cycle of online dating frustration. Julia Hotz is a solutions-focused journalist and author of “The Connection Cure”—the first book chronicling the science, stories, and spread of social prescribing. She works at the Solutions Journalism Network, where she helps other journalists rigorously report on what’s working to solve today’s biggest problems.  Before becoming a journalist, Julia worked as a teacher, bartender, pizza server, and summer camp “forest ranger”. She enjoys hiking up mountains, biking around New York, riling up dance floors, running around parks, budget traveling around the world, and building the ‘longest road’ around Catan.

Have you ever felt pressure to present a perfect image to the world, hiding your flaws and struggles?  In today’s Habits & Hustle episode, I chat with reggae/hip-hop artist Matisyahu for a remarkably candid conversation. The former Hasidic Jewish rapper opens up about his journey of self-discovery, addiction struggles, and finding balance in life. Matisyahu's honesty is refreshing as he discusses his daily cannabis use, past cocaine addiction, and the challenges of maintaining sobriety. Rather than striving for an idealized version of himself, he's learned to accept his imperfections while still pursuing growth. As he puts it, he's traded in the "race car version" of himself for a more balanced "family station wagon" approach to life. This conversation reminds us that authenticity and self-acceptance are far more valuable than presenting a facade of perfection.  Matthew Paul Miller known by his stage name Matisyahu is an American reggae singer, rapper, beatboxer, and musician. Known for blending spiritual themes with reggae, rock and hip hop beatboxing sounds, Matisyahu's 2005 single "King Without a Crown" was a Top 40 hit in the United States. Since 2004, he has released seven studio albums as well as five live albums, two remix CDs and two DVDs featuring live concerts. What We Discuss: Matisyahu's journey from Orthodox Judaism to a balanced spiritual approach The impact of October 7th on Jewish identity and unity Challenges facing Jewish artists in the current political climate Balancing family life with a music career Struggles with addiction and the path to recovery The use of cannabis and its role in Matisyahu's life Finding authenticity in the music industry Reflections on fame, success, and personal growth The creation of the song "Ascent" and its powerful message The importance of self-acceptance and embracing imperfections Navigating career challenges and adapting to industry changes …and more!

Have you ever considered the benefits of sitting on the floor instead of in a chair? In my Fitness Friday episode of The Habits and Hustle podcast, I explore this fascinating topic with my guest, Aaron Alexander, an expert on functional movement and health. Spending time on the ground, as many healthy cultures around the world do, can have a profound impact on your musculoskeletal well-being, digestion, and circulation. Aaron explains that sitting on the floor helps to heal the joints, bring new fluids to the joints, circulate lymphatic fluid, and improve digestion by keeping your legs closer to your vital organs. You'll also discover the concept of "neat" (non-exercise activity thermogenesis) and how incorporating more movement into your daily life can lead to significant health improvements. Aaron Alexander is a Movement Coach, Creator of the Align Method, Author, and Podcast Host.  What we discuss:  The benefits of sitting on the floor compared to sitting in a chair Low incidence of osteoarthritis in cultures that spend more time on the ground  Improved digestion when sitting on the floor Better circulation and lymphatic fluid movement when sitting on the ground The concept of NEAT and its importance for health The dangers of outsourcing mechanical efficiency to devices like chairs  The importance of wiggling and moving while sitting, whether on the floor or in a chair The ideal position for the spine and hips when sitting on the ground  Thank you to our sponsor: Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off Sleep Me: use code sleepbetter at www.sleep.me/habitsandhustle  To learn more about Aaron Alexander:  Aaron's Podcast - https://www.alignpodcast.com/ Aaron's Instagram -  @aaronalexander  Find more from Jen: Website: https://www.jennifercohen.com/ Instagram: @therealjencohen Books: https://www.jennifercohen.com/books Speaking: https://www.jennifercohen.com/speaking-engagements Learn more about your ad choices.

Join me and my friend Liron, a fitness coach from Los Angeles, as we discuss the complex relationship between fitness trends, body image, and attracting potential partners. We share personal stories and insights into how men and women design their workout routines in hopes of gaining attention from the opposite sex. We reveal how looks and health intersect in the social environment of the gym.  We also talk about the concept of "parallel play" at the gym, which is a unique way for people to work out individually while still experiencing a sense of community. This shows the multi-faceted nature of modern workout culture. We also explore cultural beauty standards and how they influence relationships. We look at how subjective attraction can lead people to pursue a "trophy" partner, and the potential judgments that can arise from relationships with large age gaps. We discuss dating preferences, examining how much weight men and women place on physical attributes versus qualities like security and confidence, which could be the ultimate universal attraction. Don’t miss this episode as we give our thoughts on how dating apps have revolutionized the search for companionship, but may also complicate the path to lasting connections.

Women, have you ever wondered if you should be training differently than men? Tune into today’s episode!  In this episode, Liron and I dive into the often debated question of whether women should train differently than men. Our discussion explores the psychological and physiological aspects of exercise preferences and the importance of a well-rounded fitness routine. We address the tendency for women to gravitate towards cardiovascular exercises, often due to concerns about building too much muscle or appearing "bulky." However, we emphasize that women are meant to lift weights just as much as men and that doing so offers numerous benefits, especially as we age, including improved bone density, muscle mass, and metabolism. Throughout the discussion, we stress the importance of symmetrical training for both men and women, highlighting the aesthetic and functional benefits of working the upper body. While we acknowledge that the best exercise is the one you'll actually do, we encourage listeners to embrace shorter, more intense workouts for optimal results. Liron Kayvan founded BFLA in 2019. He’s a NASM Certified Group Fitness Instructor, Personal Trainer, and Transformative Life Coach. Liron has competed in Amateur MMA, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Rugby and has been a Fitness Coach for over 10 years. What we discuss:  Should women train differently than men?  Psychologically women gravitate toward cardiovascular exercises.  Why symmetrical training is important.  The best exercise is the one you’ll do.  Shorter, more intense workouts are better.  Thank you to our sponsor: Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off To learn more about Liron Kayvan:  Website: https://www.beyondfitnessla.com/  Instagram: @beyondfitnessla Find more from Jen: Website: https://www.jennifercohen.com/ Instagram: @therealjencohen Books: https://www.jennifercohen.com/books Speaking: https://www.jennifercohen.com/speaking-engagements Learn more about your ad choices.

Struggle with procrastination? In this episode of the Habits & Hustle podcast, Jennifer admits she is a natural procrastinator, especially when it comes to things she doesn’t enjoy doing or things she thinks she is bad at doing. Although, the reality of life is that we aren’t going to be good at everything and we also aren't going to enjoy doing everything–but we still have to do it. So, how do we overcome this and learn to break our toxic procrastination patterns? If you can relate, get ready for Jennifer to share her best Habits & Hustle tips. She explores the different parameters she has implemented into her everyday life that have greatly changed the way she tackles tasks. She also explains how procrastination can be detrimental to our self esteem, how overcoming procrastination needs to become a habit, and the little things she does to eliminate distractions All the tips Jennifer shares are simple, tangible, and available to you at any time for whenever you’re ready to start tackling your procrastination, too. What’s discussed: 0:00 - Introduction to procrastination 1:45 - How some people don’t have time to procrastinate 2:05 - Why we procrastinate on the things we’re bad at 2:53 - How to make big tasks feel less daunting 3:37 - Getting things done first thing in the morning 4:39 - The correlation between procrastination and self esteem 5:59 - How to eliminate distractions 7:44 - Utilizing time blocking 8:30 - Tell us what you think in the Facebook group! Key Takeaways: You procrastinate less when you break things down into smaller, sizable chunks. If something feels daunting to you, instead of thinking about the daunting task at hand, reframe the way you think about it by focusing on getting a small piece of it done today. The smaller you can break up your task, the less daunting it will end up feeling. Procrastination is one of the simplest ways to destroy your self esteem and being your own accountability partner is one of the best ways to build your self esteem. If you make sure you do the things that you tell yourself you're going to do and do them completely, you’ll feel a sense of accomplishment, and that leads to building real self confidence. Put all the hard things you need to get done at the start of your day. Don’t allow yourself to do anything else until you have fully completed these tasks. Turn this into a habit: Tackle the uncomfortable things first before falling into doing what feels comfortable.

You’re scrolling on Instagram and stop dead in your tracks as you’re served an ad for a ‘new’ fitness product.  Except it’s not new…it’s a slightly sleeker product from 20 years ago that promises you abs of steel in 28 days. While it feels like we face a new fitness trend every week, it’s scary to think that the promise of a ‘quick fix’ is just being recycled over and over again.  In this episode of Habits & Hustle, I’m joined by Sal Di Stefano to reveal the truth behind some of the trends we’re (unfortunately) seeing re-emerge in the health and fitness space. We tackle intermittent fasting, not as a diet trend, but as a cultural practice. And break down how it's being used as another fast way to weight-loss despite its potential health risks, especially for women.  We also debunk a whole host of myths such as: sweat-equals-weight-loss, how much cardio you actually need, plant based ‘milks’ vs dairy milk, the politicization of the vegan diet, and how supplements can completely transform your personal health journey.  Sal Di Stefano is a personal trainer, co-founder of Mind Pump Media and co-host of Mind Pump, a podcast dedicated to providing truthful fitness and health information. Sal is dedicated to prioritizing health over appearance, and he aims to shift the direction of the fitness industry from aesthetic/insecurity based to one based in self-love and self-care. What we discuss… (00:01) - Breaking down the truth around major fitness trends (10:32) - Are fake ‘milks’ actually better for you than dairy milk? (17:02) - Collagen protein: is it worth the hype?  (28:57) - The real benefits of intermittent fasting and cold plunges for fat loss  (38:36) - Does sweat actually equal weight loss?
