Why do we need Staying Power? For a Better Life!
We all want to make their lives better, but what exactly does that really mean? And how do we do it without burdening ourselves and others with expectations and demands? While “a better life” might look different for each of us in the details, we can still learn so much from one another’s journeys, experiences, ideas, and vulnerabilities. Above all, a better life is based in connection – with ourselves and others and the world around us – and in curiosity, possibility, love, and meaning. Oh, and FUN!
Staying Power is a show about all these and more. Hosts JDK Wyneken and Ashley Knebel – friends, entrepreneurs, Certified Human Potential Coaches, and all-around fun humans – invite you to join them each week to explore the numerous ways we can build better lives on our own terms and improve how we show up in the world. Sharing their own lives along the way and basing their topics in the latest research, JD and Ashley range their discussions around things like personal health and nutrition, emotional intelligence, the challenges we face in an increasingly interconnected yet tenser world, and living in the Now with more acceptance and less fear. Their show guests bring the same and so much more!
Always high energy, always fun, always thoughtful, and always practical and useful right away, Staying Power is your weekly dose of empowerment to better build the best thing out there – yourself!
