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.

The Fundamentals of Weight Loss
People assume I’ve always been a naturally thin person. They have no idea that I struggled with my weight for years. I went from diet to diet looking for the perfect one for me. I ran 5 miles a day, 6 days a week in an attempt to run off the weight. NO LUCK! I’d lose some weight but then I’d always gain it all back (plus some). I was tired of the diet roller-coaster. I was tired of having to starve myself, count calories, weight my food, and the massive overeating that happened anytime I just couldn’t hold on anymore. I was trying to make weight loss harder than…

Think Yourself Thin
Losing your mental weight is everything. Most women who want to lose weight only focus on diet plans and restrictive food lists. They never look at what the real problem is with their weight. They only treat the symptom but never get down to the actual cause. This is the equivalent of taking aspirin for a broken bone versus casting it and healing it permanently. The biggest most common cause of that extra weight you’re carrying is all the mental drama you’ve unconsciously been holding onto. I specialize in helping women discover what these are so they can get past their mental drama so they can lose weight. Start your…

Your Past
One of the best pieces of advice I’ve ever heard is from Dan Sullivan, who said: “You get to take from your past what you want and you get to leave the rest of it behind.” Are you beating yourself up for past mistakes? Berating yourself for things that you did or didn’t do or things you allowed to happen to you? Spending most of your time in your past can be very painful. It doesn’t matter if it’s 20 years ago or just a few days ago. Revisiting the past is usually not helpful. Remember the past is over. What’s done is done. We can’t change the past, no…

What is a Life Coach?
What does a life coach do exactly? I’m getting this question a ton right now. A life coach is someone who can help you get perspective on your life and your mind. A life coach is NOT a substitute for a therapist who will treat mental disorders and diseases. A life coach takes healthy functioning people and helps them make their lives awesome. A life coach works with clients to understand and analyze what they are doing in their cognitive, emotional, and behavioral lives. Because a life coach has an outside view and a different perspective, they can spot what is working, as well as areas for change and improvement.…

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…

What If?
What if happiness = thinness and not thinness = happiness? What if you stopped blaming your body for your unhappiness and decided to just be happy in spite of what your body looks like? What if you decided you loved your body enough to care for it the way it wants to be cared for, not the way the world and our culture teaches? What if you stopped tying your weight to your self-worth and just decide that you’re worthy just because you’re you? What if the way out of your weight struggle was not through changing your body, but through changing the way you think about your body? What…
