On today’s show we are going to get into the second pillar of the cheat code. Planning. Now my love, if you think planning is not your thing, you for sure will want to listen because I felt this way too, but it has changed everything for me. We are in the middle of a four-part series on the Transform Cheat Code to Weight Loss.  Planning is using our prefrontal cortex instead of our automatic brain. You know I’m a little bit of a nerd when it comes to the brain. Have you ever felt like you were eating against your own will or why it was just so hard to lose weight? The reasons diets don’t work is because it’s not about the food or an exercise plan.

Join me today as I teach you the two pieces to planning. You have been listening to your primitive brain, aka Lizzie, for so long trying to keep you safe, you have to learn how to talk to Lizzie more than you listen to her. Listen is as I dive in how to break your diet brain and learn to keep commitments to...

This episode of the podcast is the beginning of a four-part series on the Transform Cheat Code to Weight Loss, and each week for the next four weeks I am going to introduce you to one of the pillars.  Today, we will really be diving into the first pillar, Awareness.  For so long we thought weight loss was about the food. But honestly, the more I do this work, and something you will learn too, it’s something I see in my clients, it is not about the food at all, but about our mindset. Through my program, Transform Weight Loss Program, I teach you how to change your mindset, and of course throw in brain hacks along the way. I see so many of my clients being successful, losing weight, having better relationships, really becoming these amazing women, all due to changing their mindset and coming into awareness.

For so long, we have been like robots, just walking around our lives on autopilot. Listen in today as I talk about to how to break this cycle, and just become...

So make sure if you’re listening before March 26th that you get in. We have so many amazing things like our virtual event in April and you know my love, I don’t want you to miss out. So go to bflycoaching.com/join.

Today I am talking about the brain. You know I love talking about the brain. I’m a little bit of a nerd for sure, but I love talking about the brain and how we’re wired. Our primitive brain, I call mine Lizzie, is wired to keep us safe, wired to keep us from danger. Think about the cave days, there was a lot of danger. Danger of the elements, lack of shelter, food, water. Lizzie is just responsible for our fight or flight response. But in today’s world Lizzie gets bored and so change has become danger. Whenever anything changes our Lizzie brain tends to go to this worst case scenario and we resist...

I am so happy to be back with you. I am getting excited for an event we will be having for my Transform ladies, called Unstoppable Live. We are doing it in August, and I am doing something extra special for my ladies. I am doing a drawing, a prize package for one of my ladies to come to the event live here in Arizona with me and spend a couple days with me. Yes, in August, probably the worst month to come here, but I reassured them that they could handle it. I have AC everywhere, and she will be treated like a queen.

I love this concept I’m going to teach you today. We are going to get into and dive into allowance versus resistance. Ooh, it’s going to be so good. You do not want to miss it.  Resistance is just a killer of dreams. We resist our thoughts, our dreams, our feelings, and even our bodies, all because we think they should be different. Resistance is the opposite of love.  Now allowing is the opposite of resistance. Allowing is freeing. It is allowing...

We are at episode 75. Can you believe it! Every 25 episodes I like to talk about relationships, leaderships, something that helps support our weight loss journey. Today, I am talking about moms. This episode is going to release on the anniversary of my mom’s passing, and I want to dedicate this episode to her. So if you are a mom, have a mom or a mother-in-law that is hard for you, you will not want to miss this episode.

In today’s episode I will be talking about our relationships that we have with our mom’s, mother-in-laws, step-moms, and also has a mother.  Ladies, we are human, and we are complicated. One of the most complicated relationships we have are with our mothers or mother-in-laws. They can go from being to the best to being the worst to everything in between. And no matter the relationship it can be complicated.  We put mothers – all mothers – on a pedestal, for either them to live up to our expectations, or for ourselves to live...

We just celebrated Valentine’s Day, and I know how Valentine’s Day can bring up so many things for us. We have these expectations of what our spouses, partners, friends should do for us. We look at social media and see others get showered with gifts or flowers, and think something has gone wrong with us. We have to learn that it is our thoughts that produce the feeling of love, not anything someone else does or doesn’t do. And if you want to learn more about relationships, listen to podcast episode 25.

On today’s episode I will be talking about change. As humans, we resist change. Our primitive brains, Lizzie as I call her, is wired to keep us safe. Anything different, or change, feels unsafe or like danger so we resist.  We go back to our automatic behaviors. We find ourselves eating the whole bag of chips or cookies and then asking ourselves how we did that.

Listen in today as I teach you how to go from resisting change to living in transformation....

So, I used to be all in or all out. If you’ve been listening to my podcasts, you have heard me talk about it. We are either all in, restricting, being on the diet, and doing all the things. Or we are all out, overeating, bingeing, eating all the things. 

And then whenever I overate or was in the pantry eating all the Oreos, I thought I was a failure, which then led to more thoughts of “I was always going to be overweight.” I would have all kinds of thoughts rattling around in my brain and I would feel frustrated and overwhelmed.  And these thoughts just kept me stuck. Stuck in this cycle of either all in or all out. 

Listen in ladies, as I teach you to challenge these thoughts and what overeating really is.  I will show you how overeating is just a trigger and how our overeats are just data, and what all this really means. How to be more curious when we overeat.  How to listen to the little girl in all of us wanting us to hear her. And...

In today’s episode I will be teaching you how to get off the hamster diet wheel. How many times do we keep trying some program or diet that we did before because we lost weight one time on it, only to gain it all back once we went off of it and quit doing it? We restrict and follow the plan, and do all the things, but then we feel deprived, and we end up bingeing for days, weeks, even months on end and tell ourselves we will “start again tomorrow.” We were not given the tools to deal with our mind, our feelings, and emotions.  You cannot stay on any plan like that long term, it just is not realistic or sustainable. 

Join me today and I will teach you tools to deal with your mind, so you can stay off the hamster diet wheel. There is no magical food plan.  We have to stop dieting, and start with a simple tool, like the realistic plan, and meet yourself where you are at.  Listen in as I share with you three tips on how to stop “starting...

Can you believe we are at episode #70? We will do something big for #100!  Today I am diving into the power of practice.  This shows up in many areas of our life.  When we practice anything over and over again, it becomes automatic – something that we just do.  Our habits are automatic things we do – like brushing our teeth, we don’t think about it, or make a decision about it, we just do it.  Our brains work on automatic 95% of the day.  If we can do things over and over – practicing them – they become automatic.

In this episode I will teach you the power of practice – how changing your mindset with just 1 or 2 new thoughts/beliefs can become automatic.  How this can change in all areas of your life, but most importantly get you off the diet roller-coaster for good!  We will talk about how Transform Weight Loss Program is the tools and understanding, but also the practice and implementation of the tools.

Do you think that the daily decisions you make, whether small or big, have an impact on your weight loss? They have a much bigger impact than we even realize. We make so many decisions throughout the day that our brains get tired and it can feel like decision fatigue. When we are feeling this way, it can leave us looking like a deer in headlights and we end up not doing anything at all, just staying exactly where we are.

You are not going to want to miss this episode as I dive deep into the decisions that we make and how they have an impact on our weight loss. Come listen as I share two tips with you that I use to help me stay out of indecision. Start with these two doable actions and you’ll feel so much freedom when it comes to making a decision.

And here are this week’s transformational questions:

1. What decision do you need to make that is causing some chaos in your mind right now?
2. What are the good and bad consequences of making that decision?
3. What do you need to do...
