61: The Problem With Body Positivity Jun 26, 2018

Show notes

While I am a body positive coach- there are a few messages within the "body positivity" community that I don't necessarily agree with.

Is there a disconnect between your emotional and physical body?

Are you doing the things that make you feel the way you want to feel?

Although there is nothing inherently wrong with wanting to lose weight- it has to come from a place of radical self-love. What does that look like if we're not currently where we want to be?

It comes from making sure you're serving your highest self and not punishing your CURRENT self. Let me repeat that: SERVE YOUR HIGHEST SELF WHILE NOT PUNISHING YOUR CURRENT SELF.

Allow your body to take whatever shape it takes while living your best life.

Here is my take on what a body positivity journey looks like.

59: How my dieting mindset almost made me go broke Jun 12, 2018

Show notes

Just when I thought I had this whole "anti-dieting" thing figured out- it peeked it's ugly little head right back around the corner! But this time, in a very unconventional way. Tune in to see what I'm talking about!

58: Game Changer: Lessons from Jen Sincero Jun 05, 2018

Show notes

I thought Jen Sincero changed my life when I read "You Are a Badass" I thought she changed my life again when I read "You Are a Badass at Making Money"

Seeing Jen in person was SO LIFE CHANGING- I can't even put it into words.

It's no secret that I have a screwed up relationship with money- but aside from that, there's so much gold in this episode that I can't wait to share with you!

57: THE body image + weight loss episode May 29, 2018

Show notes

I used to call myself a weight loss coach. And now? Well, it's actually not even my priority to help you lose weight anymore.

You may have noticed that I've been posting all over social media that I'm pretty sick of weight loss and fat loss. I've had a few massive shifts in how I view my position as an authority and a coach in this industry that have been very hard to put into actual words- until recently. This episode dives deep into why I'm totally not interested in helping you lose weight.

56: Binge Eating- It's NOT About The Food May 22, 2018

Show notes

Binge eating has NOTHING to do with food. It has everything to do with HOW YOU THINK ABOUT THE FOOD.

54: Fat loss: Grasping at straws & focusing on the big rocks May 08, 2018

Show notes

There's SO MUCH BS to sift through out there in the online space- ESPECIALLY when it comes to dieting.

One day, we're reading articles demonizing something and the next day, another click bait article comes out saying we need more of that one thing. It's maddening, isn't it!?

We have to skim the fat (no pun intended) and stick to the big rocks of what is actually important.

Something interesting happens when we focus on the big rocks- all of the noise fades away. We don't click on every.damn.thing. on the internet. We don't implement this new crazy idea that we think is the MISSING PEICE every time the wind blows. Doesn't that sound nice?? IT IS!

Break through the noise- focus on the big rocks. I got your back, girlfriend.

53: How to eat anything you want May 01, 2018

Show notes

Here's the biggest, darkest secret of weight loss: there is no secret.

The answer, in its most clinical form, is a math problem- and its right in front of our faces every day.

The truth is- you CAN eat anything that you want. No, not if you have a food allergy, this isn't about that. But guess what? I was my heaviest when I was dieting and eliminating foods from my diet. MY HEAVIEST.

Does it take some time and work and patience to fine-tune your newfound liberty around foods so that it can work for you? YES. But, you won't feel so crazy, you won't feel so anxious, and you won't be on a damn diet anymore white-knuckling your way to some proverbial happy ending that you've made up in your head.

You can eat anything you want and have the body you want- I promise.

52: Is working out even all that important? LIFESTYLE. Apr 27, 2018

Show notes

I used to think that I was the healthiest lifestyle queen out there. I worked out with tons of intensity every day of the week for years. And then it occurred to me- what good is this if I just go back home and park my ass on the couch for the rest of the day?

Don't get me wrong- exercise and intentional movement NEEDS to stay in your life in my opinion- but- is it really the end all be all? What implications does the REST of our day have on our quality of life?
