If you’re ready to reframe your thoughts on fitness and weight loss... Dec 30, 2018

Show notes

In this episode my friend and fellow fitness wellness expert Christina Barrett introduce our very first collabortative project just in time for the new year. We have combined our skill sets to offer an 8 week comprehensive Lifestyle Design Course with the intention of getting you off the fitness and wellness rollercoaster. I hope this helps you as much as it has helped us. Learnmore about Christina and her 25 years of fitness experience here: https://www.facebook.com/christina.barrett.792 Have you tried absolutely everything? Are you sick of starting a new fitness program or diet plan only to find yourself seeing the same results over and over again? We get it. With over 30 years of combined experience in the fitness and wellness industry, we have seen it all, and have likely tried it too. We got tired of watching the struggle with ineffective stratgies that left people feeling disempowered and ashamed. We worked to develop a Lifestyle Design Course that debunked all the bullshit, told the truth and offered a platform that was geared towards lasting results. We wrote the course that we wished we had when we first started in this industry. We wrote it for us, and for you. Christina and Trish have a shared value system when it comes to what wellness means, and have worked collaboratively to develop a course that cobbles together their many years of experience as well as their unique skill sets. They believe wellness is deeper than a number on a scale or eliminating carbs. They believe that fitness can be the Trojan Horse of self development and can offer exponential benefits to all areas of life - not just the way your pants fit. Their intention with this course is not just to help you lose weight or change your body composition, but more importantly - to reframe your beliefs, patterns and approach to what a sustainable lifestyle in a body that you love, appreciate and accept really means. There are no restrictive diets prescribed, no harsh food eliminations, no shakes, no supplements, and no brutal workouts. These strategies don’t work and they only perpetuate a severely broken system - one that both Christina and Trish are trying to shift, even if it’s in a small way. This 8 week platform will include science based information, sustainable daily practices, community, self exploration and truth. This experience was built to educate and empower you - not just to tell you what to do. If you are looking for the next quick-fix, latest cleanse or fad, this program will not work for you. This experience will require you to go deeper, look hard at old patterns, take responsibility for meeting yourself where you are and commit to a new way of thinking. If you’re ready to start 2019 with a new outlook on what all of this means to youand you’re open to a new way to looking at your body, your life and yourself, this course if perfect for you. Course Cost: $575: https://www.trainerize.me/profile/thealchemy/?planID=20977 Intallment package available for two payments of $289: https://www.trainerize.me/profile/thealchemy/?planID=20978 Use the code: 2019 for 10% off either option before 1/13/19 Read more about the course here: http://thealchemycoaching.com/new-page/ Course details: 8 Week comprehensive lifestyle platfrom created with the intention of undoing old patterns, taking back your power and reframing your ideas about fitness, nutrition, body image and self.

The Dream Snatching Quicksand of Analysis Paralysis Dec 14, 2018

Show notes

Analysis paralysis describes a moment where over-analyzing or over-thinking a situation can cause it to become 'paralyzed', meaning that no action was taken therefore a solution is not reached. A situation may be deemed as too complicated and a decision is never made due to the fear that a potentially larger problem may arise. A person may desire a perfect solution but fear making a decision that could result in error, while on the way to a better solution. (Wikipedia) Sound familiar? Analysis Paralysis can take you down fast, and the scariest part is, if we don't find a way out of it...it could cost us our dream. In today's episode, we examine all of this and talk about the cost of it...and most importantly: a way the hell out of it. The only cure for Analysis Paralysis is action and when we take action there is always a risk that we'll be wrong, but as Seth Godin says: "Being wrong is worse than doing nothing." We talk about the steps to take action: 1) Your Outcome 2) Your Why 3) Your actions, and we talk about why Your Outcome drives all of it - not the "to do" list. By far the best book I've ever read on taking action for things like this is: "The War of Art" by Steven Pressfield. I read it at least twice a year. I highly recommend picking it up if you feel stuck. It's a quick, direct and eazy read! I hope you learn a ton. Love you guys! Interested in coaching?

Did you stop dreaming when your business fell apart? Dec 07, 2018

Show notes

I got a facebook message the other day and it hit me right in the gut. It read: "Hi. If you don't mind me asking, did you stop dreaming when Method 360 fell apart? I think my business is crumbling soon." We unpack this, talk about dreaming, the creative process and how "failure" can impact this. I hope this helps you if you've ever been in this place.

News flash: Everybody is f@&ked up in their own special way - and it's great Nov 30, 2018

Show notes

Ok- You're fucked up. Yes you. Me too. We ALL are. From our body image shit to our daddy issues, to the way we eat corn on the cob. It's one of the wonderful things we all have in common - much like how we're all human, we all poop and we all breathe involuntarily. Understanding this is a great way to connect and see each other. It's our fucked up-ness that helps us empathize and be vulerable. How do we use our fucked up-ness and embrace it? How do we stay out of the armor of "The Perfectionist" that covers up their fucked up-ness and away from the pillow prison of the "Wounded Bird?" Oh...we go there...we go all the way there. Welcome to The Alchemy - your one stop shop to drop your bullshit. Remember, loves...the hard is what makes you great.

The bad stuff is always easier to believe Nov 09, 2018

Show notes

Ever notice how it's easier to believe the bad stuff about other people's intentions? Ever notice how when someone validates some yucky thing we feel about ourselves - that we take it as evidence that we really are a waste of skin? Ever notice how easy it is to pick out the things about yourself that you don't like, but in contrast - how hard it is to highlight the things you love? Yup. we go there today - and as always - we turn it around into something we can use. Love you guys!

Imposter Syndrome Oct 26, 2018

Show notes

Ever felt like a big, fat fraud or that you are underqualified? Ever had the feelind that at amy momement you'll be found out? Well!! The good news is you're not alone. Maya Angelou and Albert Einstein felt that way too! In fact, most of us do when it comes to achievement based stuff. Today we unpack the imposter phenomenon or as it's more commonly referred: Imposter syndrome. The funny thing is: it's not a self esteem issue - it's a belief, which can often vacilate between thoughts of ambition and feelings of self doubt. The good news is: it becomes less powerful the more we talk about it!! Interested in Alexis Pierce's retreat?
