85 Journal Your Journey with Katie Dalebout Apr 27, 2016

Show notes

Welcome my Clan of the Crave Bears! I know your life is incredibly busy, so it means so much that you are spending this time with me.

Today we are going to be talking about Katie Dalebout’s new book, Let It Out - A Journal Through Journaling. One of the things we have talked so much about is a gratitude practice. Having a gratitude practice is a strength and it allows you to open up your mind to hope, positive thoughts, and learning.

Although I believe in a gratitude practice and I even have a gratitude jar in my kitchen, I know that there can be a downside to gratitude. Negativity bias is something we will talk about and how it can actually benefit us in some ways, but it can also rule us. A gratitude practice can counteract your negativity bias.

Gratitude is not a panacea - it’s not a cure all. We don’t want to overdose on gratitude. Writing down 10 gratitudes a day might make you feel like you failed if you can’t come up with 10. There is no such thing as “more is better” in the gratitude department. So, set realistic goals for your gratitude.

You may not realize that you can also fail to recognize your own role in your success. Thanking everyone else, while downplaying your own contribution isn’t great for your self-esteem. So pick one day and time each week that you will journal your gratitude. Write down 3 things you are grateful for, AND write down YOUR contribution to that success. It isn’t luck, and it isn’t being in the right place at the right time. Recognize your own awesomeness!

Katie Dalebout is an author, coach and podcaster and she has a lot of insight into self-acceptance and journaling. She's here to share all the benefits of journaling!

83 3 Trendy Health Foods That You THINK Are Healthy with Amanda Morgan Apr 13, 2016

Show notes

Hello my Clan of the Crave Bears! Can you believe we are coming up on a year and a half in the podcast? Time has flown. To give you an update if you’ve been listening, my main squeeze Bob is having spinal surgery next week. He’s been having a hard time, so I’ll be glad for him to get back to feeling better. He’s been in pain for so long, and not knowing what is wrong, and it’s been a really hard time for all of us. Being a care taker is hard, and these hard times are when it’s easy to get out of the good habits you’ve created.

One of my toxic habits…….sugar, has been an indulgence for my emotional cravings lately. I’m going to be getting off sugar soon, and then I will eventually bring it back in healthy doses.

Check out my favorite Cravings Cleanse Spiced Rice Pudding:

2 c. cooked rice

2 c. unsweetened almond or coconut milk

1/2 c. organic raisins

1 2 t. cinnamon

1 to 2 cardamom

1 t vanilla extract

1 pinch sea salt

5 drops liquid Stevia extract

Cook in a pot over medium heat. Simmer then reduce to low for 5 minutes. Cover and let the liquids absorb into the rice. Once liquid is absorbed, dig in.

The Cravings Cleanse and Mindset Makeover starts April 28. Come join us. You have tons of simple recipes that are healthy, and 24x7 support, as well as group coaching. bit.ly/cravecast

Amanda Morgan is a dear friend, and a rebellious nutritionist. She has the Food or Fiction Program, a 4 week group coaching program. She brings up controversial nutritional topics, which you know I love! You can connect with Amanda and her program at bit.ly/crave3trendyfoods

82 Sugar Cravings + Thyroid Healing with Andrea Beaman Apr 06, 2016

Show notes

Hello my Clan of the Crave Bears! I’m so glad you decided to join me again today. I have a ton of stuff going on right now. My husband, Bob has had a rough week battling some crippling pain, and after a trip to the ER, a shot and then later a visit to the Dr., we found out that he has a bulging, ruptured disc in his back! So, we may be looking at some surgery soon. It’s just such a helpless feeling to not be able to do anything for him to make the pain better. It’s taxing to be a care taker, and I have to say I’m pretty beat! I sure will be glad when he’s feeling better.

April 14th we start another 8 weeks of the Cravings Cleanse! It’s my flagship program and it is incredible. Go to cravingscleanse.com and sign up to join us. I have been reminded that my stress these last few weeks can bring on cravings. Those late night cravings can really sabotage your health. A high protein shake in the morning can help stabilize your blood sugar and digestion throughout the day.

Thyroid health and adrenal fatigue are connected in the pursuit of overall health. Today’s guest is Andrea Beaman. She is an award winning chef and is a top rated professional in health and fitness. She’s here to share her formula for thyroid health and how to get rid of sugar cravings for good.

80 Sexism in Medicine and Fox New's Dr. Manny Mar 23, 2016

Show notes

Hello my Clan of the Crave Bears! I’m so glad you decided to join me today. Today I’m getting real with you, so consider yourself warned. I had an experience recently that I have been waiting to share with you, so today I am taking the opportunity.

I was on Fox News a couple of weeks ago with Dr. Manny. He called my work “horse shit” to my face. Here’s what happened:

I sat down with Dr. Manny and I immediately felt like he was not into my opinions
I immediately tried to build rapport and I tried to even get him to laugh
His final comment to me about cravings was, “That was very entertaining!”
I wasn’t there to entertain, because Women’s health issues are so important to me
After the segment, I tried to brush off his “entertaining” comment
I even got him to agree to take a selfie with me
After we took the selfie, he said, “Well, that was all horse shit!”
My head was spinning - I knew he would have never said the same thing to a man
The female producer who booked the show was shocked to hear this
Last year I was on Dr. Oz last year and he could barely contain his eye roll
Men believe women are weak, silly and emotional and they dismiss our true needs
The dismissive attitudes are exactly what women face everyday
The unexamined gender bias in medicine is killing us
I have so many examples of women’s medical disorders being dismissed by health practitioners
Need help advocating for yourself? Alex shares tips for being your own best advocate
Disrespect for women’s health concerns is rampant

Do you have a story of how you have been treated by a medical professional? I’d love to hear your story. Go to my blog at alexandrajamieson.com/blog and click on the little blue microphone on the right and leave me a message.

79 Master Your Inner Mean Girl with Melissa Ambrosini Mar 16, 2016

Show notes

Welcome back my clan of the crave bears! Today I will be interviewing Melissa Ambrosini about her new book called “Mastering your Mean Girl: The No-BS Guide to Silencing your Inner Critic and Becoming Wildly Wealthy, Fabulously Healthy and Bursting with Love”. Before we talk about how we beat ourselves up I want to share a little about our inner mean girl and how it comes out on girl on girl and woman on woman bullying. I see it a lot in the media and on social media and talking with Melissa about how we beat ourselves up I think it speaks volumes about our culture and how we are hard on other women.

Girls bully differently than boys. Generally, you would think that bullying is more physical but girls are much more emotional and strategic about it. They can be quietly kind of vicious. We have this idea that bullies come from abuse or bad homes or have low self-esteem but really bullies have a superior sense of self and they are highly confident in their abilities. So how can we help our kids to not become bullies or stand up against bullies? Staying quiet and being complacent and not saying anything is giving the bully its staying power.

Many people believe that if they step up and confront a bully they will become a target. Bullies don’t like to be confronted. Bullies are about control and stepping in and confronting them it threatens their sense of power. You can try and defuse a bully by trying to joke about something to get the bully’s mind on something else or just act bored. These acts can defuse a bully without being confrontational. We would love to hear your experiences with bullying and how a mean girl experience affected you or someone you love. You can join our free Facebook group at bit.ly/wfdgroup or you can tweet or Instagram me @deliciousalex. Share with us your story, what worked for you, how you stood up to a bully or how it affected you or what you are trying to heal from. This issue is big!

Author, speaker, Australian self-empowerment coach, Melissa Ambrosini believes it is time to silence our inner mean girls. She suffered herself with eating disorders, addiction and relationships she thought she could never leave Melissa’s body broke down. She came out on the other side with a mission to show other young women how to conquer that inner mean girl as she did herself.

78 How Women Can Play Big + Why It's So Hard, with Tara Mohr Mar 09, 2016

Show notes

Hello my clan of the crave bears! Welcome back! On today’s show we are going to be talking about what our cravings are for speaking our truth. Our desires for sharing our big ideas and how challenging it is, especially for women. I know we got some cool dudes that listen to the show but this really speaks to the female issue of playing small.

The next cravings cleanse is going to start on April 14th. I really want you all to be aware of it. I’m putting out a three-part video training series that you can sign up for. I will talk more about this next week. Make sure you are on my newsletter list at alexjamieson.com so that you get the announcement when this video training series is coming out. It’s going to be so awesome! I was talking to one of my cravings cleanse members from this last craving cleanse and she is having these feelings of overwhelm, like she has no time for herself. I told her that she needs me time like she needs air! But when you make this stand for me time you will be a better woman. And this ties in with the show today with Tara Mohr. We women are afraid to speak up and say what we need. We are so use to being that person that everyone else needs. It’s so hard especially as women which is why I wanted to have Tara Mohr on the show.

Tara Mohr’s new book “Playing Big” is so good. I love this book! She is an expert on women’s leadership and well-being. She helps women play bigger in sharing their voice and bringing forward their ideas into work and into life. So the great thing about Tara Mohr is that I loved this interview so much and I loved her book so much that I said to her that I would love to give a free copy of her book to all my swag bag winners this year.
