We just had an early Christmas celebration with our family a few days ago, and I was asking my grandkids what they want to be when they grow up. And every time, their answers amaze me. Kids love to dream. Then, as life goes on, we gradually stop dreaming.
We tell ourselves that whatever we have is good enough and we should be grateful. However, loves, dreaming just like we did when we were kids is still possible for us, while still being grateful for what we have.
Join me on the podcast this week as I introduce a concept called Future Self. This work has propelled everything that I do today. Everything I do, even the small stuff, takes who I want to be in the future into consideration, and this practice is changing my whole world. The future starts today, not tomorrow.
For so many years, when I would go out and see skinny people – especially eating dessert – I would think to myself, “Why can’t I be normal, like her?” And I didn’t realize it at the time, but that perception of normal, that I had made up in my head, was leading to so much drama for me. It’s crazy.
I just wanted to be this definition of normal for so long. I wanted to eat whatever I wanted, eat all the sugar, and not gain a pound. Then, while at a retreat, I realized that this desire to be normal was really creating only one thing in my life: deprivation.
Listen in this week, love, and discover the truth about what it means to really be normal, why our perception of normal is not grounded in reality, and how chasing this idea of eating whatever you want and being comfortable is always available to you.
And here are this week’s transformational questions:
If you’ve been on any sort of weight loss journey, I can guarantee you’ve been faced with some diet beliefs that we’ve all been told at some point in our lives. Myths and beliefs about what you should be doing can seem helpful, but today, I want to show you how they’re actually keeping you stuck on the diet roller coaster for good.
Releasing these diet beliefs was crucial to me actually losing weight in the long-term, and I want the same results for you. I’m diving into eight myths today and busting them to show you that all they’re doing is causing you more suffering than necessary, and how you might actually be self-sabotaging your progress by holding onto them.
Join me this week, loves, as I crack eight diet beliefs – of which I’m sure there are hundreds of others out there – to give you a new perspective on how to start losing weight for good. Some of these will be hard to let go of, but I hope this work helps you see that...
Being on the diet roller coaster can lead us to look for some extreme solutions, right, ladies? Magical pills or shakes that seem to be the answer aren’t, and they just make us want to throw in the towel even more when they don’t work.
I’m sharing two tools that are often overlooked but absolutely crucial to losing weight for good with you today, and I want you to stay with me here. When you find out what they are, you might think, “I’ve heard this before, but does it really help?” When I hit plateaus in my diet, after eating on plan and eating foods that fuel me, I looked to these two tools and loves, the weight dropped even more.
Join me this week to learn more about these two really simple, free tools that will keep your weight loss journey going. They aren’t necessarily the sexiest things, but I can assure you, they are super effective and will give you other incredible benefits too, besides the weight loss.
And here are this...
Fear is the biggest dream-stealer there is, ladies. Fear kept me carrying extra weight for such a long time, it keeps people in jobs and even relationships that they got bored of a long time ago. So, why does fear have this ability to keep us stuck in uncomfortableness?
We don’t trust ourselves when we’re terrified of messing up, depriving ourselves of even the slightest bit of joy in the process, and that is no way to approach a healthy lifestyle. It took me years, but I have developed a process that has enabled me to avoid the fear and place real trust in myself when it comes to food, and I know you can apply this in your own life too.
Our lizard brains feed off of our fears. They tell us things are scary because they don’t know any better, but there is no room for fear when we’re losing weight for good. So listen in this week as I discuss the 3 types of fear that keep us stuck and how you can work past them once and for all.
How is fear showing up in your...
I spent 38 years on the diet roller coaster trying absolutely everything. Low-fat, Atkins, keto, you name it, I’ve tried it. We have spent so long being taught that some foods are healthy and some aren’t, but I’m questioning this belief on the podcast today.
I’m sharing how truly learning how food feels in my body has changed my life completely and I want to show you how you can start doing this for yourself too. Different foods feel different to each of us, and one thing that works for one person won’t necessarily work for you too. Becoming the scientist of your body and tuning into your body signals is key, and I’ve got some tips for you on how you can start doing this.
I’m giving you permission today to listen to your own body. We can stop listening to others or asking people who we think are experts on what we should be eating, and this could be the thing that alters your diet journey forever.
And here are this week’s...
Getting off the diet roller coaster takes some deep inner work, and today I’m sharing a method that can be hard for us to really harness. This process takes time, but it is the key to getting off for good and living your best life.
I hear so many of my clients tell me, “No way can I love this body I’m in,” and I was in that boat for a very long time too. Our brains love to pick at all the negative parts of ourselves, and when you think you’ve overcome one negative thought, another one seems to pop up elsewhere. Today, I’m diving into what self-love really means and how you can stop beating yourself up for how you look or what you weigh to produce really lasting change.
Join me this week as I show you how loving yourself can transform everything for you. Self-love can be difficult to practice when we see so much we don’t like about ourselves, but beating yourself up is not the way forward.
And here are this week’s transformational...
Halloween has just passed as I record this podcast, and I remember a time when this would be the start of a three-month overeating season. Ladies, if you notice yourself thinking this way too, that January will be when you get yourself together, I hope this episode gives you some insight into why we do this and a new way to stay motivated throughout the holiday season.
We’re diving into feelings this week, loves. Understanding how feelings play a role in your journey is really important so that you keep to your realistic plan and reflection work. There are various ways we handle our feelings, and I’m showing you how they result in the actions you take from there.
I’m so excited to be here with you again this week, and I hope the examples I’m sharing with you give you a clearer sense of why tuning into our feelings is so crucial.
And here are this week’s transformational questions:
When I was younger, I was a free spirit. I didn’t want to plan things out, because I thought it would hold me back. This mentality did not help me when it came to the diet roller coaster, though – I would eat whatever crossed my path, and wound up eating way more than I wanted to.
I’m still that free spirit today, but I’ve realized that planning is actually a source of freedom, not an obstacle to it. Every day, I create a realistic plan for what I’m going to eat. This tool has helped me (and my clients!) free ourselves from the lizard brain and from the diet roller coaster – for good.
Today I’m talking about the power of planning and why impulsive eating is more likely to happen when we don’t know what to expect from the day. You’ll learn why it’s so important that this plan be realistic (read: NOT a diet in disguise!), and how to keep it simple.
And here are this week’s transformational...
If you’re familiar with the diet roller coaster, you know that the whole cycle follows a very predictable pattern: you decide to lose weight, you do well for a while, and eventually, you get discouraged and quit. You may have quit so many times that you can’t keep track anymore.
You’re not alone in this. I quit so many times in my 38 years – but the important thing is that I never quit for good. I tried new things, and I eventually found an approach to weight loss that helped me get off the DRC and improve my life all around.
Today we’re talking about how to stop quitting on yourself. We’ll chat about why failure has to be an option and is part of the process. I’ll also share what quitting used to look like for me, and how I eventually created new pathways in my brain and stopped quitting on myself.
And as usual, here some transformational questions for you to ask yourself:
