Why It's Okay to Want to Change Your Body Mar 11, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, I'm going to bring you so REAL TALK.

I'm SO happy that more and more people are speaking up about embracing our bodies for exactly what they are. More and more people are becoming advocates for beauty at any size, and I'm so appreciative of that.

But, I think many of these people make us feel shameful for wanting to change our bodies. I feel like more and more I am seeing people sharing that if you "change" your body or have "goals" then you aren't "loving" your body.

I'm here to say I completely disagree with this. ⁣It honestly couldn't be more from the truth in my opinion. ⁣⁣ I don't believe there is anything inherently wrong with wanting to change your body and that's exactly what I want to chat about in this episode of Embrace Your Real.

How to Drink Alcohol and Still Build the Body You Want Mar 08, 2021

Show notes

Does drinking alcohol make you fat?

Should you not be drinking alcohol if you have health and fitness goals?

Is drinking alcohol going to undo the hard work that you've put in?

The answer to all of these questions is NO. But with that being said, drinking alcohol freely WILL most likely hinder your goals. Not because it's alcohol per say, but because eating and drinking anything freely WILL hinder your goals.

That's why in this episode of Embrace Your Real, I'm going to teach you how to calculate alcohol macros so you can have a drink when you want to have a drink without feeling guilty, having FOMO, or punishing yourself later for it.

Self Love: The #1 Thing That Transformed My Mindset Mar 04, 2021

Show notes

I know that self-love can be really difficult. Like… how fluffy is the idea that we should "love ourselves more" ??

Sure it's a fluffy idea, but at the same time, when we lack self-love, it's way too easy for us to be trapped in this negative mindset and negative thought patterns that are simply a disservice to our life and hold us back in so many different areas.

I'll give you some real talk: I lived most of my life NOT loving myself. I had absolutely no idea what it would even FEEL like love myself. That concept was just so foreign to me.

I know so many of you can relate to this and that's why in this episode of Embrace Your Real, I'm going to share the most influential thing that has transformed your mindset and helped me to actually cultivate SELF LOVE.

7 Ways to Become More Self Aware Mar 01, 2021

Show notes

One of the number one questions I get asked is how am I so confident! And to be honest with you, confidence has been something I have been working on for a very, very long time, but I actually didn't work on being MORE confident, I worked on being MORE self-aware.

Why?

Because the more you know and understand yourself and the more grounded and rooted you feel within yourself, the less validation you'll secure, the less insecure you'll feel, and the less unsure of yourself you'll be.

So how do you practice self-awareness?

I have ten questions I asked myself to help me build that awareness. I want you to press pause on this episode, take out a pen and paper, or the notes app on your phone, and write done the following 12 questions that I am going to share with you in this episode.

The Secret to Eating Enough Protein Daily + Why It's So Important Feb 22, 2021

Show notes

I'll be honest, I used to be so scared of eating enough protein. I thought the more protein I ate, the bulkier I would become.

Girl, this couldn't be further from the truth. Protein is essential for building muscle. And the more muscle you build, the more fat you will burn and the more weight you will lose. Protein will NOT make you bulky, it will also make you look more slender and toned.

BUT, I know SO many people struggle to include enough protein into their diet. So that's why I want to share a little secret with you on how I get enough protein daily…

How to Stop Thinking You Need to Be Skinnier to Be Valued Feb 18, 2021

Show notes

Recently I had someone ask the question: How do I stop feeling like I need to be skinny in order to find/keep a husband?

And honestly, this broke my heart, because I used to have that same exact thought, that I needed to be skinny to deemed worthy for a partner. I know many of you feel the same way, and maybe it's not for a partner, but you think you need to be skinnier for SOMEONE in your life, whether that's friends, or family, or co-workers, or your Instagram followers, or whoever it may be.

So, how do we break free from the mindset that we need to be skinnier for another person in order to be worthy, valued, and loved? That's what I want to talk about with you today.
