Let's have some REAL TALK on self worth. I know you probably think your unworthy because you're not perfect, or you don't meet societies standards, or someone at work be littles you, or you simple just don't feel like you're good enough. This is extremely common, yet so far from the truth. That's why in this episode of the Embrace Your Real podcast, I want to share 10 truths about self worth that will hopefully make you rethink your level of self worth and make you realize how worthy you actually are. What I discussed:

There is no specific criteria you need to meet in order to be worthy.
You can never earn, gain or have worth.
You don't need to be perfect or special to have worth.
It's impossible for mistakes cannot diminish your worth.
Just because other people make you feel inferior doesn't mean you are worth less.
Criticism and feedback have nothing to do with your worth.
You don't need other people's approval to feel worthy.
You can be disliked and still be worthy.
What other people say or think about you has zero impact on your self worth.

6 Ways to Live More Authentically Part 2 Oct 20, 2022

Show notes

Welcome to part 2 of 6 ways to live more authentically. If you missed part 1 I highly recommend going back and listening to that next! It's okay to listen out of order. But, why is living authentically so important? We can't show up as our BEST selves in our lives if we aren't being TRUE to ourselves. So this episode is meant to challenge how you are showing up in your life now and help you start showing up more authentically. In Part 1 I talked about…

Stop pretending. It's exhausting trying to be someone you're not…24/7! Compartmentalizing and presenting a different version of you to all the various groups in your life will drain you to your core.

Get Comfortable in the discomfort of vulnerability. There is no authenticity where there is no truth. And there is no truth where there is no vulnerability.

The reason why you may be struggling with authenticity is because you're striving for perfection. But here's the thing: You'll never achieve it because the bar always gets raised.

What I discussed: Stop judging others. Whatever negative things or judgements you cast upon others, is usually the ultimate revealer of your own insecurities. If you feel like you need to cast your insecurities on others, then this means you're not living authentically. Set better boundaries. If you are living on other people's terms, you aren't living authentically. It's that simple. Your priorities NEED to come first. Get to know yourself better. You cannot living authentically if you don't know what is authentic for you.

The Five Macro Counting Approaches: Which One is Best for You? Oct 17, 2022

Show notes

Real talk: Macro Counting doesn't have to be cut and dry. It doesn't have to be black and white. And if this belief is what's holding you back from starting your macro counting journey and ultimately building the body you want, it's time to think again! Macro Counting can be what you need it to be. And, macro counting can evolve as you evolve on your fitness journey. In fact, there are 5 main approaches to macro counting and if you're struggling to stay on track with your nutrition, it's time you pick which approach is best for you. What I discussed: Approach # 1: "Testing the waters" Approach. You either track ONLY your protein intake or you only track breakfast and lunch. Approach # 2: Flexible Approach. With this approach, you will focus on hitting your macros within 10g to 15g of each macro. Approach # 3: Moderate Approach. This is where you are focusing on hitting macros within 5g to 10g. Approach # 4: Non-Flexible Approach. This is where you will land within 1g to 5g of each macro. Approach # 5: Strict Approach. This is where macro counting can trigger you to build an unhealthy relationship with food and it's time for you to take a step back.
