I was recently in the process of shipping out some BFLY swag and brochures to my clients, and it’s a process that I often dread. I think about how it takes too long, and so I don’t want to do it. This reminded me of how my clients have the same thoughts about weight loss when they come to me, and it’s one that keeps them on the diet roller coaster.

Listen in this week as I show you how to love the process of weight loss now, and why learning to love it is what will get you started in transforming your weight. This not only makes you feel better about the journey, but you’ll find that you have more love and curiosity for yourself along the way too.

And here are this week’s transformational questions:

1. What could you love about the process of losing weight?
2. Why is it important to love the process?

What You’ll Discover:

• Why dreading or hating the process of losing weight is like failing before you even start.
• How to learn to love the process...

Do you ever have moments where you’re maybe going out to a restaurant, you’ve planned what you’re going to eat, and then the breadbasket comes out and the urge to eat off-plan is so strong that you find yourself negotiating with your brain? The simple thought, “But I want it,” is one that has kept many of us on the diet roller coaster and it makes us forget what we want long-term and choose what we want at that moment instead.

This is something we do with food over and over again, and it becomes harder to move past the urge to eat something off-plan when we reinforce the behavior by giving our brains the reward of what it wants. We say, “But I want it,” or some version of that, and we give in to our urges, which keeps you in the habit of overeating and indulging.

Join me on the podcast today as I show you how to disrupt the hostage negotiations you have with your own brain in these moments, and how you get to choose to...

Today, we are talking about the number. I spent most of my life obsessing over the number on the scale that I thought would make me good and happy, and I know that so many of my ladies have the same experience. I thought that if I could just weigh 120 pounds, then everything would be good. I could then achieve all my goals and dreams if and when I weighed this number.

One thing that I teach all my ladies to do is to get on the scale and look at the number. We’re terrified of the scale because we think it makes us good or bad, but it actually doesn’t mean anything. It’s just a number. You are good enough and 100% lovable, no matter what the number on the scale says.

Listen in this week as I show you why there is so much power in learning that the number on the scale doesn’t matter and that it doesn’t define you as a person. I’m also sharing what your natural weight means, why this is something I tell my clients to aim for, and how...

I remember a time when I wanted the “perfect” body, and to be honest, perfection in everything I did, everywhere in my life. We are all taught this idea of perfection as kids when we’re taught to strive to be the best student or the best child, so it’s no surprise if this pattern of perfectionism exists for you in your life.

You’ve probably experienced starting a diet, telling yourself you were going to do it perfectly, and then you slip. One day turns into a week, and you find yourself beating yourself up for not being perfect and quitting. Loves, perfectionism is a lie we tell ourselves, and it only leads to self-sabotage when we inevitably fall off track, and it’s what will definitely keep you on the diet rollercoaster.

Join me on the podcast this week as I show you why the lie we tell ourselves about being perfect keeps us stuck in any area of our lives. Learning that failure and mistakes are part of anything you do will help you take more...

I’m sure you, like me, have tried a whole bunch of quick-fix diets and different food plans with hopes that it was going to be the missing piece to your weight loss journey. We all know they don’t work, that they keep us stuck on the diet rollercoaster and in the cycle dieting and binging, which I am so familiar with.

I remember when I was losing weight and I would stumble, my brain would say, “See, I told you, Shannan, you can’t lose weight.” What you think and what you say to yourself matters so much, and when you decide to stop dieting on purpose like I did, it’s time to take a closer look and be intentional about what you’re telling yourself about your weight loss journey.

Join me on the podcast this week as I show you why telling yourself that you can’t lose weight leads to just that: not losing weight. Working on your mindset is so important, and it’s really the secret to your weight loss. It’s not some...

I think it’s fair to say that life isn’t going quite the way anyone had planned at the start of this year. This happens in so many areas of our life on a much smaller scale, where things get messy. But it’s how we handle the mess that determines our success.

When things go wrong, there is always a part of us that wants to think, “Things should be different.” This thought sounds harmless, but it could be keeping you stuck without you even realizing it. So, I want to talk today about why accepting the mess that comes your way will get you moving again.

Tune in this week as I share why I have decided to accept the mess in whatever form it comes, and how believing things should be different keeps us stuck. I have seen amazing results since I started accepting the mess, and this might just be the missing piece of your weight loss puzzle.

And here are this week’s transformational questions:

1. What thoughts or beliefs do you have around something being...

For me, Easter has always been a time of big family gatherings and getting together with loved ones. 2020  has changed this tradition for my family, and I found myself in a cycle of constant worry, fearful about the future and what might be different when all of this is over. I know that some of you ladies might also be experiencing this, and today, I’m showing you how this emotion of worry isn’t serving you.

I have felt extremely heavy and exhausted this week, and through doing my daily reflection work, I’ve found that I’ve been stuck in a state of worry. Worrying about my clients, my family, about how things were changing, and about how I don’t have any control over any of it. Staying stuck here isn’t helping you take the actions you need to get the results you want, but there is a way out.

Listen in today as I show you what you do have control over, and why staying in worry is keeping you stuck. We are never promised...

I’ve talked before on the podcast about how I managed to stop dieting by changing the way I approached food. I stopped following restrictive plans made by other people and started listening to my body instead. And it’s made a huge difference.

One thing I’ve never really discussed on the show, however, is exercise. Now, I have tried so many different ways to try to burn calories. But loves, that is not the right reason to move your body. Just like with food, if you follow somebody else’s exercise plan, you’re not going to fall in love with moving your body and you’re going to stay stuck on the diet rollercoaster.

Join me on the podcast this week to discover why finding a way to move your body that you love is way more important than just getting your steps in or trying the hot new workout. Especially now that we’re all stuck in the house, now is the best time to turn your focus towards your body and find out what works for you.

And here are...

On today’s episode, I’m diving into one simple but very necessary thing that we all have to do, even though we’re practicing social distancing and staying at home: create connections.

Meaningful connections are important to us as humans at all times, pandemic or not, but in our current climate, it has never been more essential to our wellbeing. When we feel alone or disconnected, we often isolate and hide away, and for most of us, we buffer by eating. Leaving your lizard brain alone to spin out will always lead to you thinking about worst-case scenarios, and you’re not going to create the results you want from that place.

Join me this week as I show you why connection is so important, and how you have to think if you want to have results you love three or six months down the line from here. We all have a choice right now to think thoughts on purpose that serve us, and connecting with your loves ones are going to help you lean on them for support.

And...

Welcome to part two of this series that I’m doing on how to get through this crisis right now without losing yourself. Loves, we’re seeing things that we have not ever experienced before in our lifetime, and so the chaos and frenzy that you might be feeling is inevitable. Trying to push away or avoid your feelings isn’t serving you, and so today, I’m showing you how to feel your feelings.

If you’ve been struggling with the desire to eat off-plan, just like I have, it’s important to start allowing your feelings to come to the surface. Letting them bubble and build up will only lead to actions you regret, and so this is what I’m diving into today.

Listen in this week to discover how to actually feel all the emotions in your body, and what the difference is between feeling and indulging a negative feeling. One is going to help you process and release the thought causing it, and the other will lead to you buffering or taking actions that you...
