Show notes

Does your body and simple self-care tasks always get pushed to the backburner because you don’t have time or energy to make it happen? Do you feel disorganized, lacking a good routine - and even when you do have a routine, you can’t ever stick to it?

Instead of feeling perpetually frustrated, you’re getting to learn from Ashley Brown today - the guru when it comes to Routines and Planners.

As the author of the Routine Building Handbook, and the owner of Routine and Things, she helps women get organized and into routine so they enjoy the heck out of life. Ashley knows that when women feel good, the world is better for it. And being disorganized and not having a good routine, just doesn’t feel good!

What I love most about Ashley is that she makes the routine-building process SIMPLE and actually doable for even the busiest mom.

186. What is Food Freedom? How to Experience it and Still Reach your Goals with Clara Collie Sep 27, 2022

Show notes

Is it possible to experience “food freedom” and still be able to reach your goals? Can it be done?

You have goals for your body, and you know that your eating habits play a huge role in the journey to get there. But most eating methods and diets you’ve tried force you to be a slave to the rules. Sadly, your resentment toward “healthy eating” grows and you’re no closer to your goals.

My guest today is the reknowned registered dietitian and personal trainer Clara Collie. She wholeheartedly believes that we were created to be stewards of our body, not slaves to how they look or slaves to complicated eating tactics.

This conversation is a special one for me. As two professionals trying to make a stand in a very dark industry that’s riddled with vanity metrics and dieting pressures, we dig in deep into what it looks like to actually find food freedom. And yes, this applies even if you have weight loss goals.
