Ep. #204: How Your Inner Critic is Undermining Your Success

Dec 31, 2024

In today’s episode, you will discover how your inner critic is undermining your success.

The worst critic is the one that’s living in your own brain.

It is important to understand how this inner critic is showing up in your life so that you can change the story and dialogue that you have with yourself.

Starting to challenge those beliefs and starting to talk to yourself more than you listen is how to create different results.

 

In this episode…

[2:18] I want the last four months of the year to be a continuing cycle of growth, of learning and showing up for yourself.

[3:50] For most of us, we believe this inner critic, the dialogue that we have, we believe it’s true.

[4:46] The inner critic can get really loud and we want to numb it.

[5:19] When we numb our feelings, we are also disconnecting from our thinking.

[6:69] As you start to become aware, as you start to hear what’s going on in your mind, you’re going to start to hear some of this...

Ep. #203: Who You Are vs. Roles You Play

Dec 31, 2024

In today’s episode, you will discover how we have defined ourselves by our role instead of who we really are.

We have forgotten what we want for ourselves.

I give you my take on how to decide and create what you want for your life.

 

In this episode…

[2:58] When we start recognizing who we are, when we start seeing our capabilities, our talents, that starts to turn into desires.

[3:42] I didn’t really think about curating my life, about creating the life of my dreams, the life that was meant to live on purpose.

[4:22] Until you realize what really gets you fired up, you just keep living this life that you don’t recognize.

[5:11] You carry extra weight because of how you think and what you feel.

[6:05] If you have not worked on your thinking and how it creates feelings in your body, you will live a life that doesn’t look like yours.

[7:40] Don’t compare yourself to anyone else.

[10:31] What gets you going? What gets you excited?

[10:57] We...

Trust the process of changing your thoughts and mindset.

Consistency is key.

 

In this episode…

[1:37] Natural weight is a weight I decided that I feel good in, that I like.

[2:19] One of the things that has really changed for me when I think about living in maintenance is my relationship with food.

[3:43] We think we’re gonna just change our thoughts and we’re never gonna have these old limiting thoughts that we had before.

[4:53] I don’t need to ever start over again.

[5:24] As women, we are so tied to that scale.

[5:52] There’s so many non-scale successes.

[6:23] I’ve really talked to myself and asked myself questions like...

Ep. #201: Why Do You Want To Stop Resisting?

Dec 31, 2024

In today’s episode, you will discover how resistance comes in many different forms.

Resistance keeps you pushing back and not moving forward.

It keeps you in the same place, but expecting different results.

I talk with Coach Jenn and Coach Sharon about how resistance has shown up in their lives and the lives of their clients.

They share tips on how to move out of resistance and into action by taking the next step.

 

In this episode…

[1:40] We don’t believe we deserve success.

[1:59] We keep doing the same things, expecting different results.

[6:49] We go to things that are comfortable, that we know, because we have always done it that way.

[8:39] I realized that by allowing others to show up as themselves and love the for who they are and how they show up allowed me to love myself and release resistance.

[9:30] Because of resistance, you didn’t want to do something different. You didn’t want to think differently.

[9:53] You had to think something...

Shannan talks weight loss with Coach Kelly and Coach Andrea.

The Coaches of Transform Boss share their experiences in Transform Boss Weight Loss and offer some tips that brought them success.

In today’s episode, you will discover how your thoughts determine your actions and your outcomes.

In this episode…

[5:19] You have to start to think differently. You have to practice different thoughts.

[7:18] We really are not connected to how we feel and how those feelings manifest in our bodies.

[9:38] I’ve learned that there really is no “there”.

[10:34] There is no place like a happy place that when I lose all the weight, everything is going to be better.

[11:00] How many different emotions have you felt in the past 24 hours?

[11:28] Losing weight is not about a food plan.

[12:44] Don’t be afraid to feel those feelings.

[14:31] One step better thought.

[15:10] Practice those new thoughts.

[15:27] Challenge those limiting beliefs.

Ep. #198: Are You Really Stressed?

Dec 31, 2024

For so long, I wanted things to be calm and perfect before I allowed myself to show up for myself.

I would put myself off when things became stressful or there were too many bothers.

Life isn’t going to be happy, joyful and positive all of the time.

In today’s episode, you will discover my take on how to take care of yourself when things become stressful in living the human experience.

In this episode…

[1:10] I remember growing up and thinking we were supposed to be happy and joyful all the time.

[2:42] When you think that you have to have this joyful, happy life all the time, it can keep you feeling like something is wrong with you.

[3:25] When we have stress and frustrations, we put ourselves last and go into automatic brain.

[4:58] You can take care of yourself in this space.

[5:47] How can I care for myself?

[6:15] If you keep putting yourself off until things are perfect, you’re never going to.

[6:46] You start creating the habit of pushing yourself...

Ep. #197: You Never Have to Start Over Again

Dec 31, 2024

When you think you have to do it all, you actually do nothing.

Our brains are wired to want to accomplish everything we put in front of ourselves, from mundane tasks to weight loss and when we don’t – we are left puddling.

In today’s episode of the podcast, I teach you why thinking “you have to start over again” is a sabotaging thought, how perfectionism keeps you stuck, and the magic of taking the next best action for yourself in this week’s episode of the Weight Loss for Successful Women podcast.

In this episode…

[1:54] Losing diet brain and diet mentality takes work.

[2:31] Starting over is a limiting thought and belief.

[2:57] This thought makes you feel overwhelmed and you keep delaying your progress.

[4:20] I have to start at square one and do all the things perfectly.

[4:48] I just needed to focus on one thing. One part of the process.

[5:23] Focus on one piece of the process.

[6:04] With weight loss, we think we have to be perfect,...

Ep. #196: Did You Think Your Life Would Be Different?

Dec 31, 2024

In today’s episode, you will discover how I had to grieve the loss of the identity of whom I thought I would be after losing weight.

I had to reimagine what my body looks like and the version that it is, rather than holding onto the dream of what it should be.

I had to decide which parts of my identity to keep and which ones to let go.

I will teach you about the process of grieving and then acceptance.

In this episode…

[2:05] We have these beliefs that we thought something would be different or we wanted something different.

[2:57] I had to grieve the loss of this identity.

[4:03] It kept me suffering and in resistance to what was.

[4:27] I had to allow myself to grieve the loss of what was.

[5:42] I show up for myself imperfectly.

[6:54] I had to allow myself to feel all the feelings and go through the grieving process.

[7:40] I have to fall in love with the parts that I want and keep those things that I can control.

[9:03] You might not even have realized that...

Ep. #195: Lose This to Lose Weight for Good

Dec 31, 2024

When it comes to weight loss, time pressure can often be a major source of stress and anxiety.

The pressure to lose weight quickly can lead to extreme dieting, unrealistic expectations, and ultimately, failure.

Losing the pressure of weight loss allows you to focus on making positive, lasting changes that will benefit your overall health and well-being, rather than just achieving a quick fix and ending up back on the diet roller coaster.

In today’s episode of the podcast, I teach you how to make your weight loss journey become a sustainable path toward a happier and healthier life.
