43 | Four Big Health + Fitness Myths to Stop Believing Right Now Oct 16, 2018

Show notes

The health and fitness world is one with LOTS of noise. The problems in this industry range far and wide, from old science and just BAD information, to assaulting you with you with “shoulds” every minute of every day, to preying on your insecurities and so much more.

As such, there’s A LOT of things I could include on this list, but today we’re just focusing on these 4 big ones, as these misconceptions can leave us feeling broken, hungry, frustrated or, at worst, sick.

Even as most of us become more knowledgable, more confident, and more aware of the fitness and nutrition industry nonsense machine, a few messages still seem to be getting through that I wish women would stop believing.

And of course, all of these could be their own episode (or book!), so I’m touching on the most important points briefly.

42 | Scarcity vs Abundance: The Mindset That Can Change Everything Oct 09, 2018

Show notes

Today I am talking about one of my favorite mindset concepts and how it impacts our life in big ways and in small ways.

What is a scarcity mindset, and how do you know if you have one?

I share ways you can see this self limiting mindset in action in your life, from your bank account to your career goals to your dinner plate. (And how to start looking at things with an abundance mindset instead).

This is a premise I will surely be building on throughout this show so this is an introductory episode to the concept of scarcity vs abundance and examples of exactly how you can see this in action in your daily life.

40 | Listener Q+A: “Dear Taylor” Advice Column Sep 25, 2018

Show notes

You remember the Dear Abby column from way back in the day? Well we’re doing my version of that today on the show.

I’m pulling a few questions from my She Thrives Tribe (our private Facebook group) about body image, confidence, fitness and life, and sharing my advice.

The questions we cover in this episode are:

“How do I keep the drive to always be improving my health while also being confident and happy with where I am right now?”

“I love to workout, I love how it makes me feel, but I have a tendency to become obsessive with it. How can I keep it in perspective and keep myself from turning fitness into an unhealthy habit?”

“I have lost a lot of weight (140 lbs), but now I find myself never satisfied with my body. I thought losing the weight would make me more confident. I’ve lost my passion for the gym, which is very weird, but I just feel lost. How do I gain confidence?”

“How do I go about opening up to people around me about how I view myself and how I could use their support to help me be accountable to myself?”

39 | The Problem with “Progress” That No One is Talking About Sep 18, 2018

Show notes

For so many of us, "progress" elicits a vision of a linear journey. Like if you just keep showing up, putting in the work, and doing what you're supposed to, you'll arrive at your destination.

We get told to stop competing with others and only compete with ourself, to look at how far we've come, and let that be our guiding light on Progress Road.

We are not only made to believe that progress is equivalent to being better today than we were yesterday, but that real progress is measurable, visible, and can be displayed in a side by side photo on Instagram.

And while I’m always here for growth and improvement of any kind, there is a dark side to this obsession with “progress”, and I’m breaking it down in today’s show.

If you feel like your health or wellness journey has taken a backslide, this episode is a must listen.

37 | Overtraining: The Signs, the Myths, + How to Avoid It Sep 04, 2018

Show notes

Your body reads your workouts as STRESS. It doesn’t know the difference between the stress from a heavy barbell, from a fight with a loved one, to a grueling metcon, to the stress from an upcoming deadline. It’s all the same to your body.

And while some stress is good, and exercise can certainly be a stress reliever, in this episode we are talking about what happens when we try to get too much of a good thing.

Adding high intensity or high volume training on an already overtaxed body can do a number on your body’s nervous, endocrine, and immune system, and lead to trouble.

I am breaking down what exactly “overtraining” really is, what it isn’t, what some signs and symptoms look like, and how to avoid it.
