As a podcast fanatic, I am always trying out new shows, subscribing, unsubscribing, and I love catching up on back episodes. That's how I found this episode of Get-It-Done Guy to share with you: How to Form a New Habit. Here's an excerpt from the transcript:
The Evil Queen in Snow White is misunderstood. She just had an unhealthy obsession with an unrealistic, media-hyped body image. She would sooth her insecurity by asking her magic mirror, "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?" It said "Snow White," who was, of course, pretty fair. So the Evil Queen fed Snow White a poisoned apple. But having Snow White gone gave the Queen time for serious introspection. She realized a more mature response to her body issues would be exercising more, lowering her saturated fats, and eating fewer empty carbs. Her cook didn't know South Beach, so the Queen resolved to cook for herself. But being a Queen, evil or not, is a big job! Exercise and cooking take time, not including the time to read the cookbooks and exercise books.
He goes through the whole podcast like this, using the Evil Queen as the new-habit-forming character. It's really fun, and I think he's got a great sense of humor. Anyone who can link fairy tales and working out is as good as a dragon-slaying hero, in my book.
Get-It-Done Guy has a whole arsenal of advice, do give his other episodes a listen.

Does sound fun!
For another take on the Queen in Snow White, I recommend the Clarissa Pinkola Estes series, "The Dangerous Old Woman/Myths and Stories of the Wise Woman Archetype". I'm in the midst of listening to the audio book while in my studio....
He clearly never met the woman!!
