Coconuts and Kettlebells : A Personalized 4-week Food and Fitness Plan for Long-term Health, Happiness, and Freedom
by Noelle Tarr
To eat your way to better health, you don’t need to limit your calorie intake, or cut out carbs or fat. You don’t need to count "points." Better health doesn’t come from limits. It comes from focusing on the quality of food that you eat—not the quantity. Instead of limiting your food intake you should be enriching it, argue Noelle Tarr and Stefani Ruper. The popular hosts of the Well-Fed Women Podcast want you to focus on the good things you eat. They want to make sure you get enough food so that your body has the fuel and nourishment it needs to support a healthy, long, and energetic life. Noelle and Stefani know about eating for health firsthand. They, too, struggled with confusing and frustrating medical conditions, including infertility, digestive issues, acne, polycystic ovarian syndrome, hypothyroidism, and anemia. They discovered that the secret to improving wellness was actually more food: they ditched the diet books, calorie counters, and scales, and started eating their way to health.

The 5 money conversations to have with your kids at every age and stage
by Scott Palmer
"To teach a child about money, you must first know his or her Money Personality. Your Money Relationship with your kids has nothing to do with how much you spend on them. It has nothing to do with how much you've saved for college or the allowance you give. It has nothing to do with how much debt you have or how much you've invested. Those are your financial arrangements, and this book is not going to spend much time discussing those.Instead, it's going to dig into what really makes or breaks a family inany area: relationships. After all, you can have a great budget, a healthy college fund, a great system for doling out allowances, but if you are constantly bickering with your kids about their spending, missing out on making memories now in order to fund their futures, well, you've hit the wrong target. You might have a solid financial future, but you'll have a family that can barely be in a room together without fighting.That's why this book is going to focus on the Money Personality relationship between you and your kids. Is your child a Spender? What does this mean for him at age 5? 12? 18? Or perhaps she is a Saver, Risk Taker, or even a Flyer? Will the same money conversations work with each different personality? Of course not. And understanding how to navigate these different personalities will be the best advice you've ever received on training up your children in the way they should go"
