Ep. #110: Making Weight Loss Easy

Dec 30, 2024

I think for so many of us women we have always thought weight loss was hard. But, what if you thought it was easy?

Join me in this episode as I talk about both sides and how your thinking is what really keeps you stuck.

The diet culture has just led us to believe that weight loss is hard – creating diet trauma.

The process I teach is easy – make a plan, feel your hunger/fullness, feel some feelings, decide what you want to believe and think, get your water and sleep in.

It is our thinking that is hard.

I will give you tips on how to make weight loss easy.

To lose weight you have to think differently – it starts with one thought – I am learning to lose weight by believing something different today.

You have this one life. What are you going to do with it today?

In today’s episode, you will discover:

  • How the diet culture has made weight loss hard for us
  • What truly is hard about weight loss
  • Tips to make weight loss easy

Dec 30, 2024

Today is the last installment of our 2.0 series, and I want to dive into holidays and how to decide on purpose how you want to feel on 01/02/2022.

Holiday time is here. October is time for all the Halloween candy, then Thanksgiving feasts, and then Christmas – and all those treats!

Holidays are events, days, celebrations, a day of festivity – time for family, when no work is done.

I have designed my holidays, so I enjoy them.

You get to decide what you want the holidays to mean to you.

Join me in this episode as I dive deep into how we have tied food to our holidays and celebrations and how to break free from that thinking. How to break the people pleasing. How to make new traditions that don’t have anything to do with food.

I will give you tips on how to heal your relationship with food and ourselves.

Give a gift to your future self now. How do you want to feel on 01/02/2022?

Dec 30, 2024

We are still in our 2.0 series, and this episode we are going back to the basics of being human -yes, basics that we underestimate.

We have some basic things our bodies need to survive – Water, Sleep, Food, and Air.

Without them you will die.

Our bodies are amazing – we as humans have evolved into these amazing beings.

But as time as gone on – we are busy, we overlook how important some of the basics are to our bodies.

Ep. #106: Breaking Up with Dieting 2.0

Dec 30, 2024

We are in our 2.0 series, and in this episode I want to talk about how to lose weight for the last time by breaking up with dieting.

I have to tell you about my new Peloton. I just got it and I love it! I used their app before. They have all kinds of different classes – spinning, yoga, pilates, whatever you may be looking for. But I love to move my body, and the key is just finding what you like to do and what is fun for you. If you want to learn more about movement in depth make sure you listen to episode #30 on movement.

One of the fundamentals I teach is the Realistic Plan. If you want to learn more about that in depth go back to episode #6 – bflycoaching.com/6.

We have so much trauma around dieting – what we should or should not eat. Good or bad food makes us good or bad.  Food is just food. Not good or bad.

The realistic plan is about allowance not restriction.

Join me in this episode as I dive deep into how you can up-level your Realistic Plan over time...

Ep. #105: How to Believe New Things 2.0

Dec 30, 2024

We are in a 2.0 series and this episode of the podcast, we are going to up-level our reflection work. I am going a little deeper on how you can start to believe new things.

Over these next 3 episodes, I am going to teach you how your brain is wired, how to believe new things, how to do a realistic plan so you can break your old diet beliefs and brain, and how to start trusting your body again and reconnecting with it so you can feel hunger and fullness. 

I am going to meet you right where you are at. I am going to teach you how to stop fearing food and lose weight where you meet yourself where you are at. I am going to teach you how to lose weight with love and allowance, instead of punishment and restriction.

We are going to stop this diet trauma – and I need to be perfect.

Join me in this episode as I am diving deep into Reflection work – this is not journaling. Reflection work is where the mindset change comes from. It is a daily practice of dumping out your...

Ep. #103: The Next Best Decision 2.0

Dec 30, 2024

I have a favor to ask. Are you a woman who would help another woman that you did not know even if you never get any credit for it? If so, I have a request to make on behalf of a woman you have never met and maybe never will. She is just like you and maybe you are just a little ahead of her. She is feeling hopeless, hating her body, believing she is not worthy, and is searching for the answer to get off the diet roller coaster; and this podcast can help her. Every time a review is left it helps another woman find this show. If you find this show valuable, can you go right now and leave a review wherever you are listening. Usually, it is right in the app or on the website you are listening on.

Your review will help.

We are gearing up for our final challenge of the year and it is going to be EPIC! I mean on fire, so amazing. I cannot wait. I am doing things in this final challenge that I have never done – it is going to be mind-blowing. Go to bflycoaching.com/me

And I am sure...

Ep. #102: How Action Shows Up in Weight Loss 2.0

Dec 30, 2024

I cannot believe it is September. Where has the year gone! I can’t believe I am already thinking and planning for 2022. Time just goes so fast. But the year is not over yet. We still have three and a half months to finish strong and reach our 2021 goals.

 

When we have successes or failures, we make it mean something about us. If we’re not hitting a goal, we start telling ourselves stories about what we’re capable of. But honestly, what I’ve learned is failure, successes, it’s just part of the journey. It has nothing to do with your capabilities, and more importantly, nothing to do with your worth.

 

Join me in this episode as I dive deep into the 3 types of action we need to take in weight loss, and why each one is important. I will teach you how you can fail, but keep learning and just keep taking action, keep moving forward. We all hit these roadblocks where we just want to quit and give up. We say we will just start over or start again on...

Ep #101: Have You Given Up on You in 2021?

Dec 30, 2024

Here we are in September. And what I see is we start powering down, especially through the holidays. We start telling ourselves, I’ll just start over in January. And for many of my listeners, it’s a subconscious whisper that all the goodies are coming. Pumpkin season’s coming. All our holiday favorites. Holidays are coming and it starts in October. And some of the thoughts around, oh, I can now cover up with all of my winter clothes…

This is my favorite time of the year from September on. I love it. Paul’s birthday is in September. Our anniversary is in October, all the holidays I love. And Arizona, it is gorgeous. I mean, we get to do all of the things. It is a beautiful time of year.

Join me in this episode as I dive deep into how to not power down, not to put yourself off, not to disconnect.

You can have more time for yourself. I teach you simple tools and steps you can take and how just one small step can lead to your success.

You get to decide....
