206: Pseudo Intuitive Eating Aug 04, 2020

Show notes

Intuitive eating is not the art of memorizing your food rules and then applying them without using a food scale or a food tracking app. Intuitive eating has grown in popularity and it's far more popular now for people to demonize dieting. You'll hear things like: "I'm anti-diet!" or "I help women lose weight without dieting" or "where intuitive eating meets sustainable weight loss"- and guess what? It's all garbage. Intuitive eating is being ruined. And you may be stuck in a trap that you didn't even know could exist: pseudo intuitive eating. This episode is full of sarcasm and snark- I can't help myself. But, it'll also help you identify if you're stuck in the "fake" Intuitive Eating world. A related episode: # 151: One Sneaky Screw Up" may also help you identify if you're feeling like you're stuck really finding your way to food freedom.

205: what every small business owner wants you to know (but won't tell you) about becoming their client Jul 22, 2020

Show notes

Things we cover in today's episode are: -Why Iron Phoenix Strength Club is more expensive than other commercial gyms - What you're actually paying for when you hire a highly educated coach/mentor -How the commercialized fitness industry has ruined the value of fitness. Why do you have to pay a professional for any other service? You can't walk into a salon and wax your own eye-brows but you're allowed to walk into a gym and figure it out on your own?-Group fitness classes have cheapened the industry -Low barrier to entry to become a "trainer"- this is a problem! -Why I don't want to work with clients who NEED me -Why I'm willing to let my clients struggle and fail & why that makes me a great coach Want a peek behind the curtain about becoming a client of a small business? This episode is for you. We're covering a whole bunch of stuff you may have never considered about becoming a client of a small business. Whether or not you have zero interest in hiring a small business for your service/products- I guarantee you'll have a brand new perspective + learn some nuggets of wisdom from this episode. Small business owners aren't too keen on letting you (the consumer) into a behind-the-scenes look into their business- mostly because being a small business owner is MESSY. If that small business is online based? Forget about it! It's hard to explain, there's a lot of moving parts, and we (fellow online business owners) have learned that eyes usually glaze over when we try to explain what we do and how we do it to someone who's not in the industry. Today's episode will let you in peek inside the backend of just a few things regarding Iron Phoenix Strength Club & The Barbell Collective, my online fitness program for women all over the world. Many consumers have a misconception about what they're paying for, why they have to pay at all, why prices are what they are, and what goes into delivering said service or product. I also cover whether or not you're a good fit for a group program, an online program, and whether or not you need to pay for 1:1 support/customization and what to consider about yourself to decide what is the best fit for you.

[biz 35] blending action & stillness for clarity & joy Jul 17, 2020

Show notes

The past few biz episodes all tie in together! Biz episode 32 was all about being stuck because of perfectionism. Biz episode 33 was all about finding joy in life & business thru getting out of ruts/routines and finding ways to stay intentionally present. Biz 34 was all about q3 planning (it was a bonus episode so kind of unrelated here!) And today's episode is all about how we BLEND the alignment found through stillness with the clarity provided to us through ACTION. Go back and listen to biz episode 33 if you haven't already and then tune into this one next!

202: pain & injury: what it is, what it's not, & how to deal Jul 07, 2020

Show notes

Do you have a human body? Great- you will experience physical pain, discomfort, and pain many times in your life time. Pain is actually necessary- it is telling us something. Pain just means your body is trying to communicate with you in some way. Sometimes, it's even a false alarm. So, if you have a human body, particularly if you're active, this episode is not only highly recommended, but it's NECESSARY. Want to get inside The Barbell Collective?

201: The objectification of women & other things perpetuated by the Patriarchy Jun 30, 2020

Show notes

This episode is so messy and it is SO WORTH YOUR TIME. We're talking about: --> Boners & the funding of viagra vs. women's rights --> How women's hygiene products are marketed differently than men's products & why this is a problem --> What you're expected to do & look like after you have a child ...and at some point I remind you that, indeed, yes- your vagina is supposed to smell that way.

AND SO MUCH MORE.
