The Mind-Body Connection
There is scientific proof that that the mind and the body need to work together in order function at our best and that’s what I want to share with you today, The Mind-Body Connection. Your mind is constantly taking in information all day long and processing it, but what about your body? Your body doesn’t have thoughts, and it can’t process outside information. The mind needs a way of telling the body what is happening so it can therefore act accordingly. Enter the Mind-Body Communication System. Tune in to learn what exactly is the Mind-Body Connection and why it’s important, and two ways we miss use and interrupt this connection…

Victim Mentality
Today I want to discuss something that typically gets in the way of us going “all in”. Something that keeps us stuck and prevents us from creating the results we want. It also keeps us from experiencing joy. In fact, it causes the opposite of joy. It creates a lot of resentment, bitterness, sadness, hopelessness, and sometimes even anger. I’m talking about Victim Mentality. Victim Mentality is just a habit. Tune into today’s podcast to learn how to break it.

5 Ways to Have More Body Love
The way we think about and view our body matters. It matters because when we have a positive body image (or what I’m choosing to call body love), we feel comfortable in our body and happy with the way we look. And when we’re comfortable and happy, then we are able to be in tune with what our body really needs (physically and emotionally). We treat our body well and take care of it instead of beating it up, punishing it with strict diets, disordered eating, intense workouts, or overeating in an attempt to numb out all our emotional distress with food. Here are 5 ways you can begin to…

5 ways to stop worrying
When it comes to emotions, there are ones that are useful and ones that are not. Worry is one of those that is not useful. So, why do we worry? We worry because our brain thinks it is useful. It tricks us into thinking that worrying will help us avoid pain and discomfort But actually what it does is the opposite. It causes pain and discomfort because worrying feels terrible! (Can I get an amen?) wor.ry According to the Collins dictionary (yep that’s a real thing- I didn’t make it up), “if you worry, you keep thinking about problems or unpleasant things that MIGHT happen.” —Keyword is MIGHT but probably…

The 50/50 Rule
Feelings are part of the human experience. We are supposed to have a contrast of both positive and negative feelings. This is what makes all emotions possible. If we experienced only positive emotion, we wouldn’t know it was positive because we had nothing to compare it with. I think a lot of us know this, but most of us still assume that life should be better than it is. So we try to change ourselves, and our circumstances thinking that if we do, life will be rainbows and daisies all the time. We desperately want there to be more good than bad in our lives. But the truth is, it…

Redefining Health Part 4: Spiritually Whole
Spiritual health and emotional health go hand in hand. Spiritual health, I believe, draws everything together.

I’ll teach you a few tools you can implement to help you on your journey to becoming spiritually whole.

Stop Buffering
: Buffering is when we use external things to change how we feel emotionally. It can be anything that serves as a protective barrier from having to fully experience our lives and the sometimes intense emotions that accompany it. It’s something we do to keep from fully experiencing our lives, to hide from reality, to procrastinate, to not show up and face the music. We’re mostly buffer because we feel entitled to feel happiness and pleasure all of the time. We are constantly bombarded with suggestions of ways to do this: You should go eat something You should go buy something You should go watch something These are all FALSE PLEASURES…

How to Change Your Life
If you don’t like the way things are, stop believing the stories you are telling yourself about them. We all have our “stories” about certain things. For example: I’m not enough. I’ll always be overweight. I’m awesome at showing up for my kids. No one likes me. I can’t do this. I’m the queen of baking. My kids are naughty. I’m such a loyal friend. My husband doesn’t love me. etc. Some stories move us forward, but often our stories are what’s holding us back and making us feel stuck. Our “stories” are simply a bunch of thoughts we think over and over until they become a belief. These…
