34 | In Pursuit of a Feeling: What Your Cravings Can Teach You Aug 14, 2018

Show notes

In this episode we’re talking about what we can learn by understanding that ever single thing we do is because we want to feel a certain way. (Yup, everything).

I just reached my 6 year anniversary of quitting smoking, or 6 years since fully putting my partying and self destructive ways behind me, in pursuit of feeling good and healthy in my body. And believe it or not, these two lifestyles were actually chasing the same goal in many ways.

I’m sharing what we all can learn from understanding our tendencies, listening to what we really want, and using the pursuit of a feeling to actually help us get where we really want to go.

33 | Fitness is Not Your Life Aug 07, 2018

Show notes

What happens when you lose interest in the gym? When you want to take a week off? Or several weeks? What happens when something you love is no longer top priority for you? What happens when you take a break or take it easy or take it less seriously?

Do you rack yourself with guilt? Quit? Feel like you failed? Or do you accept that these ebbs and flows are completely normal, and that you’ll be ok?

Today’s episode is a reminder that taking it easy in the gym or taking a break from it altogether is not the worst thing you can do, contrary to most of the fitness industry’s advice.

Today’s episode is a reminder that your value is not your body fat %, your Fran time, or your fitness level. Fitness and exercise should enhance your life, not stress you out and bring you guilt or shame.

If you’re struggling with feeling motivated, have slid backwards in your “progress”, or are feeling guilty for wanting to spend time on other things in your life, this episode is for you.

Show notes

She Thrives started as a paleo + CrossFit blog 4 July’s ago, and my oh my, has it evolved and grown over the years!

In today’s episode I’m sharing the biggest life lessons I’ve learned from doing this gig for 4 years, and you do not need to be an entrepreneur to appreciate this list. Though this might help you in any coaching, teaching, or business venture, I think every one of us can benefit from hearing these 4 big lessons.

This episode is an expansion on an Instagram post I made recently (you’re following me there, right?), and I hope you can connect with and learn from these lessons just as I have.

30 | Self-Confidence: The 3 Things Keeping You From Having It Right Now Jul 10, 2018

Show notes

Self confidence feels like the ultimate gold mine. Don’t we all want to like who we are and how we look, feel brave enough to take risks and follow our dreams, be comfortable being fully ourselves and not caring what anyone has to say about it?

But we all too often feel like there’s something stopping us from feeling confident about ourselves, and it’s usually born out of one (or all!) of these 3 big misconceptions.

Today I’m walking you through these 3 big myths about confidence and showing you how you can start getting our of your own way and feeling confident AF right now.

I’m also sharing a little bit about my new course, The Confidence Lab, and how it can support you through the process of ditching old narratives, embracing who you are, and going after what you want.

28 | Beach Season Reminders: A Body Image Pep Talk Jun 19, 2018

Show notes

Bikini season is here, which means it’s time officially freak the f*ck out about everything, right?!

Um, no.

This episode is the antidote to the mainstream “health and fitness” magazines, websites, gurus and bloggers who are offering you 382656 ways to freak out and overthink getting into a bathing suit this summer.

Based off of this blog post, my hope is that this episode reminds you about what’s really important, what’s really NOT, and why every single one of us deserves the right to stand proudly in our skin, in whatever outfit we want, without any effort or work required, at the beach this summer (and, always).

26 | 4 Things to Stop Doing Right Now to Live a Happier Life Jun 05, 2018

Show notes

I’m not one for Do’s and Don’t lists, but I think you’ll see why I feel strongly about these 4 things, and why they’re definitely worth stopping ASAP.

Do you feel like you need validation or permission from people (or a specific person) in order to chase a dream, take time off, or follow your gut?

Do you believe that there’s something you must achieve, be, accomplish or suffer through first, in order to be worthy of what you want?

Are you constantly doing things that you don’t really want to be doing, and you’re not really even sure why?

Do you work hard to get people around you to like you?

So often we feel like we have these barriers between us and what we really want, or what we feel like we deserve. But the truth is, these “barriers” are usually of our own making, and we have the ability break through them at any time. But it requires us stopping some engrained behaviors and taking a critical look at some of our beliefs.

This episode will help you do just that.
