    AP 336: It’s Time to Ditch Diets, for Good || with Ashton Barrett May 19, 2021
    Show notes

    How much of your time, your precious energy, are you spending worrying about your body, your food, and what others think about you? In a society that celebrates women in smaller bodies and oppresses women in larger bodies, you are not alone. Former macro coach, Ashton Barrett, describes her "diet rock bottom" and how she has learned to thrive on the other side. She teaches when it's time to ditch diets for good, and how to heal yourself by honoring your body through this shift.

    In this conversation between Monica and Ashton you'll hear from two women who suffered from disordered eating, diagnosed and not, but work continuously towards healing. Through simple tips (unfollow diet culture accounts!) and more introspective guidance, such as honoring your fears, this is a gentle way to break the dieting cycle that you're stuck in.

    AP 335: Heal Your Relationship with Your Body || with Anna Packard, PhD May 12, 2021
    Show notes


    What if you could go from a place of negativity, or numbness, towards your body, to a place of neutrality? What if you could go from there to liking it, even loving it. Your body is a part of you, but it is not all of you. If this feels foreign to you, it's time to heal your relationship with your body by stating there - with the relationship.

    As we dive deeper into this month's theme of "Honor Your Body" we are lucky to learn from Anna Packard, a clinical psychologist and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist, who shares her own story with disordered eating and how she was fueled by that into helping others. Her simple approach will resonate immediately and be something you can apply today. This is a lesson unlike what the louder voices of the world want us to hear. This is all about us changing our orientation and feeling toward our bodies. It is no longer about our bodies needing to change.

    AP 334: Honor Your Body || May 2021 Theme May 05, 2021
    Show notes


    How much time are you spending thinking about your body and appearance, instead of your dreams and goals and other pursuits? For me, personally, it has been too much time. I recount a few very specific memories from my youth that shaped my own ideas of a perfect body, which, if you're familiar with my story, led to very difficult years of disordered eating. My guess is that you can relate and may have also struggled to really honor your body.

    One thing I want you to remember, though, is that you are not your body. We must support and honor our physical bodies, but they do not define us and are not our identity. In this episode I'm sharing 4 things that have worked for me as I learn to honor my body. These are not strict rules, rather ways to help you find a new perspective as you develop a loving relationship with your body.

    AP 333: Keys to Creating BIG Routines, by Starting with Small Habits || with Sandra Chuma Apr 28, 2021
    Show notes

    When you think of your goals, are they the really big, New Year's Resolutions type? While a desire to totally revamp your morning routine, for example, is noble, it can be too large to be doable. To achieve change through sustainable growth you have to understand the keys to creating big routines by starting with small habits.

    Not sure where to start? Sandra Chuma, Habits Coach and Podcaster, has some great ideas for how to break it down. She opens up about her own story from being born and raised in Zimbabwe, to building a company with her husband, and then attending university in her 40's, and more. Through mindset (fear of habits, anyone??), compounding actions, and a "failure plan," she teaches how you can have tangible and long-lasting success.

    About a few other things...

    If you're pumped about learning more about habits, but don't know where to start, get my free handout, "Sticky Habits for Progressors" HERE.

    AP 332: What Your Procrastination Really Means + How to Help || with Shirin Eskandani Apr 21, 2021
    Show notes

    When you think about procrastination does it bring up some feelings of shame, maybe self-judgment? These complex feelings are common, so find out what your procrastination really means and how can you stop weaponizing it against yourself. By sorting out where your procrastination is coming from then you can see what your needs truly are and begin to develop healthy and supportive habits.

    Shirin shares her own story of perfectionism as an Iranian immigrant who relied on constantly outperforming others and even herself, but teaches now that that behavior is not sustainable. Instead, learn to live at the "intersection of getting it done and allowing yourself to have free time," which she calls good enough work. Tune in to be, as Shirin says, encouraged to return to your values, your beliefs and what lights you up with purpose.

    AP 331: How to Be a Lazy Genius + Amplify What Matters || with Kendra Adachi Apr 14, 2021
    Show notes

    The truth is that you DON'T have to "do it all" to be a happy, whole, well-rounded person. In fact, consider how being selectively lazy will actually maximize your growth where it counts the most.

    Kendra Adachi--podcaster and writer--wants you to be a GENIUS about the things that matter, and LAZY about the things that don't.

    This is the path to deep and lasting progress. As living, complicated, breathing humans, we have to honor and lean into our limitations in order to amplify our biggest priorities--including what helps us feel alive!

    Kendra will teach you how to be "selectively lazy," to learn how to recognize what matters to you, how to let people in and fully belong to both others and yourself, and how this can all lead to exponential growth--not less of it.

    AP 330: Maximize Habits || April's Theme Apr 08, 2021
    Show notes

    When you think of "maximizing" habits, do you picture extreme, over-the-top action? 110% commitment? Superhuman willpower at work?

    Well, here's good news for us mortals: none of that works long-term.

    While we are going to discuss how to maximize your habits all month long, today's introductory episode is all about the basics.

    In order to maximize habits, you need to have some to begin with.

    And to get those, you need to focus on "The Process" to help you build habits that won't drift away before you had the chance to make them even better.

    In this episode, Monica will teach you "The Process," how to simplify the habit formation process, and the way YOU can start small, and start now, in building your own.

    >>Get your FREE "When-Then Pairings for Progressors" handout, HERE, so you can get started on the real process of habit formation.

    AP 329: A Misplacement of Identity || Special Bonus Episode Apr 05, 2021
    Show notes

    Can you answer these two questions:

    "Who am I?"

    "What matters to me?"

    If not, you're likely experiencing what Monica calls "a misplacement of identity."

    This is what happens when we place our worth, our value, and our "sense of self" on the things we do, the way we look, our achievements, our roles, instead of who we deeply, truly are.

    A strong identity is the foundation to all the work we do at About Progress. It's the filter through which we know how to direct our choices, ways we can work on our growth, and how to be strong enough to face both the circumstances and the choices we face on a daily basis.

    Listen to this special episode where Monica shares her own story of "a misplacement of identity," how it started with good intentions but over the years led to her feeling lost and stuck in her own life, and what she did to uncover her identity again.

    And how this changed everything.

    This episode is the introductory lesson to Monica's new, foundational course, "Finding Me." Enroll HERE as a Founding Student with the 30% off code before Midnight PST, Thursday April 8th!

    This course will never be discounted to the public again.
