Show notes

Everything sucked inside my business for a long time- I kept making decisions from where I currently was in my business which kept me STUCK for years. What I learned was to make decisions based on the business that I WANTED to have- which required focusing on something that didn't quite exist yet. Hello, self-trust and scared shitless and doing it anyway! It didn't exist yet because I hadn't created it. I was stuck for so long because I kept making decisions rooted in scarcity, fear, and a crap money mindset... oh, and zero boundaries! This episodes just begins to scratch the surface of some of the mindset shifts and thought processes I needed to undergo in order to take my biz to the next level.

If you've been using social media as your personal outlet for any length of time and then decide to start a personal brand, it can be scary to start shifting how you show up online.

[Biz 006] Let's Fix Your IG Bio Jul 24, 2019

Show notes

I know, I know- it sounds silly- what does your IG bio, of all things, really matter? These days, your social media accounts are like your virtual business card- a living, breathing portfolio if you will. It's like the initial handshake between you and your potential clients.

When people land on your social media, they have a few seconds to decide if you're for them or not. People don't have long attention spans, so you need to make sure your initial impression is a powerful one. The easiest way to do this is to make sure your IG bio is clear, concise, and speaking directly to your ideal client. "I help women get fit" for example, is not quite specific or powerful enough. In this episode, you'll find out why, and what might be a better IG bio instead!

150: Navigating Dieting & Weight Loss Conversations When You're Trying to Escape from Diet Culture Jul 23, 2019

Show notes

It's all just so tough- it's hard enough to get out of the obsession with weight loss and dieting as it is- but what do you do when you're the only one in your family or friends group that doesn't want to have the tired, boring, and exhausting conversations about weight loss and dieting anymore? You're stuck... right? And you feel like you have two choices: 1- if you can't beat them join them or 2- bite your tongue as hard as you can- and hey! if you're hungry, swallow whatever chunk of tongue you just chewed off. Right!? Ha! I know, it totally feels like those are your only options. But, I promise- there are more. Depending on where you are in your journey, it will dictate which way you decide to go. Here's the thing: boundaries need to be put in place if you're in a position right now where dieting and weight loss talk triggers you and brings you to a place of self doubt along your journey. So while these conversations are never comfortable- they're still as uncomfortable to be a part of when all you want is OUT. In today's episode, I'll give you a few ideas on how to navigate the dieting conversation when you know that all you want to do is talk about ANYTHING ELSE other than your weight, your friends' weight, or the newest, insane diet that so-and-so is on. Because honestly, don't we all have more important things to talk about?

[Biz 005] Your Ideal Client Probably Doesn't Care About Your Certifications Jul 17, 2019

Show notes

UGH, I KNOW. This one hurts me- but it left me confused and stuck for YEARS. Anywhere I could, I would put all of my education and certifications- it was the cornerstone of my entire business. It was on my business cards, all over my website, I talked about it non stop on social media- and guess what? No one cared. Not once has a client asked me what my qualifications are- if clients did care about that stuff, run-of-the-mill trainers wouldn't have booming businesses- and yet? The industry is infested with them- they're everywhere. Yet, our clients don't care. Not only that, our clients don't even know what's considered a good education in the industry- and this probably holds true for many industries. Of course, there are one off instances in which your education DOES impact your ability to gain credibility and clientele- but most often- it doesn't matter. I think about the most impactful people in my life- the least important thing about their impact on me was their education. It was so much more than that. So while this episode pains me to record, because I personally am obsessed with educating myself, turns out, my business isn't about what *I* want, it's about what my ideal client wants- and that is what a successful business makes.

148: "You're Not Fat- You're Beautiful" and other unhelpful advice Jul 16, 2019

Show notes

It usually goes like this: "I'm so fat." "You are not fat." "Yes I am." "You are NOT fat! You're beautiful!" I hate this conversation- because it's all so well intentioned- yet still unhelpful for so many reasons. I heard it for years- as I hated my body more and more with each passing year, and agonized to my mother about how miserable I felt in my body, this was her advice. But, we don't know what we don't know. Have you been given this encouragement before? Have you given this as encouragement before?
