Show Notes

In This Episode: 

• We talk with Aleks Anderson from Anderson Legal, we understand how frustrating contract disputes, real estate issues, and construction problems can be. That is why she works so tirelessly to help her friends and neighbors in North Carolina resolve their legal issues as quickly and painlessly as possible. 
• Whether you are a small business owner who would prefer to focus on growing your company instead of chasing customers who won’t pay their invoices or a property owner who is tired of hearing your builder make excuses, we can help.
• Aleks has been training with FireWithin for over five years and has been through a lot including a pregnancy that left her with a limited amount of foods that she could eat.
• Her food aversions lasted through her 14th week and very slowly certain foods became tolerable, but some never did, like in her case, chicken.
• Immediately after the birth, all the food aversions went away for Alex.
• When it comes to training, if it hurts, don't do it!
• We discuss "picky-eating" with her child and what they have learned about how to overcome those challenges.
• During the early stages of kids beginning to eat solid food you want to have them try as large a variety of foods as possible, most pediatricians agree before 18 months.
• We talk about what a good reward system is and make sure the reward is encouraging good behavior.
