There is a trend that has me quite agitated. It needs to be exposed. It's the "heroin body" trend. Frankly, it's no better than its evil twin the ''bigger booty". Body trends are dangerous. Bodies are unique, they cannot be molded like playdough. People who believe that these trends are what they need to follow, to live a better life are being sold a lie.

This episode is not about giving up and settling. It's about learning to love and appreciate your uniqueness. It's about taking action against the timeless obsession society has with body size.

I found myself sitting on the floor amongst an array of cookbooks from the last three decades, and a memory came to me. This memory had me bursting out laughing. The memory was a recollection of receiving a 'healthy' birthday gift, which consisted of a water bottle filled with fat-free gourmet jellybeans. If I only knew then what I know now about nutrition I would have burst out laughing at the thought of jelly beans being a healthy alternative to fatty food. I wonder in ten or fifteen years what we will think is silly nutrition advice that we absolutely think is the bible truth today? This is a funny and helpful episode on how nutrition trends come and go, and how the diet industry tends to demonize certain foods to get us to buy their products.

If your nutrition strategy is as clear as mud, and you would like to chat about what you can do to make healthy eating simple and enjoyable, feel free to book a consult with me here.

Thank you for tuning and remember to check back on Tuesdays for a new episode.

Do you like gifts? Read to the end to find out how you can get a special gift :) But first read this short note, no skipping.

What are energy leaks? What causes them? And how do they contribute to high-functioning anxiety? More importantly, how can we plug them?

I asked energy strategist and Master EFT Therapist Theresa Lear Levine to join us so that we could figure out how to resolve the high-functioning anxiety that many of us live with chronically.

One of my favorite takeaways from this episode is realizing that we have more control than we are normally willing to take responsibility for. Cue up the Law of Attraction, the most popular of the twelve universal laws. The Law of Attraction as explained by Theresa uses the power of our minds to convert our thoughts into reality. Theresa also hints at how tapping into the Chakra system can help.

EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Technique and is also known as Tapping. EFT involves tapping while talking about the negative situations we have going on in our brains. This modality helps to release them to make room for more desirable outcomes. According to the EFT Masters, we cannot manifest a positive outcome without first releasing the negative energy we are harboring.

You are in for a surprise because after we recorded this episode, Theresa and I recorded an EFT session where she coached me through a phobia that I have been keeping under wraps. Can I tell you? I am making progress! Theresa reminds us that a strategy is useless until we take action to implement it. And implement it we did!

Theresa and I have a gift for you! You can have access to our EFT session and several more. Theresa has compiled these into an ebook and you can access it free here.

Please check back every Tuesday for new episodes that a will change the way you navigate the second half of your life, aka midlife mastery.

And be so kind as to leave a review on your preferred podcast platforem. Reviews are the lifeblood of podcasts.

Ever been the new kid on the block? It can suck. Going to a new gym can feel just as yucky. The fact is that nobody has time to work through a long period of adjustment to a new gym. In this episode, I am digging deep into 4 common causes of gym anxiety and solutions to help you achieve regular attendance without undue stress. One of the most important factors of training is actually doing it consistently. Nobody needs to have anxiety about showing up and feeling inferior. This episode covers the 4 most common types of gym anxiety and solutions to keep your stress level under control. No matter what type of gym or program you choose, it is important that you feel comfortable and part of the community. Grab a listen and do your research before committing to a location program or trainer.

Next week on Tuesday we have an expert guest on tapping. This amazing Mom of four and dog Mom actually took me through a tapping therapy episode to help me confront one of my greatest fears. [ i bet you will never guess what it is] Yikes My fear is going rogue. I am actually ok with sharing, because if it helps even one person then a good deed is done. It all goes down in episode 128.

Back in the day of Columbus, virtually all people firmly believed that the earth was flat. In order to dispel this belief, it took a daring risky expedition. Fortunately, you and I do not have to risk our lives to dispel the most ridiculous fitness myths.

Sweating. Soreness. Spot Training. There are mythical beliefs about these and other urban gym legends that are flat-out false. Learning the truth will make a difference in how you train and will definitely help you to train more effectively. For example, hundreds of situps and running for hours at a time are not the best way to shape your midsection. If you're going to put in the effort, you want to be smart about it.

I would love to know what myth you are letting go of in 2023. After you listen to this episode, drop me a comment here or send me a message on Instagram

Remember to check in next week for a new episode on our Air Hug Community podcast.

It's exciting in a new year to get on board with a fresh workout plan. But if that plan doesn't fit your busy life, the chances of being able to stay with it long term are slim to none. This is why people quickly abandon their New Year's resolutions within a few short weeks. In this episode, I cover the facts about what you actually need week-to-week, to improve and maintain a healthy body. Some gym rats may disagree, but the fact is we don't need to live in the gym. Moreover, the best plan is the one you can stick with long-term.

A new year once again is upon us. People are often obligated to set goals in a new year. It seems like something in them says that they need to set goals. Well today we're going to flip the story on goal setting. You can forget about setting goals. I am going to give you an alternative action. We're going to discuss talk three negative effects of goalsetting.

This episode has some funny and serious issues that are related to the pros and cons of goal setting.

I am really excited to share this alternative behavior with you, and it won't cost you a thing.

Tune in next Tursday for a guest discussion on Tapping, not the dance.

When our guest found herself suffering from burnout and hitting rock bottom, she felt like she had nothing to lose by learning a specific method of meditation even though her medical training left her skeptical. It turns out this changed her life. She has since gone on to become a meditation instructor, putting her own special spin on it, which is not at all guru-like or cultish. She uses her skills to help women in healthcare and to help with the trauma of racism and white privilege. Dr. Jill Wener is changing lives.

check back every Tuesday for a new episode.

It has often been said that necessity is the mother of invention. Well, necessity dictated that I listen to the rumble in my heart, and make some long-overdue changes. The catalyst is not clear, but I suspect it has to do with the unauthentic feeling I had coaching nutrition clients over the last several years. I knew in my heart that the answer to weight loss is not numbers. It is feelings. It became a necessity to let my nutrition clients go (for now) and examine my own thoughts and behaviors. As a result, 10 supposedly healthy habits surfaced that were doing me more harm than good. In this episode, I frankly share these 10 pivots that have given me back my time, energy, and sanity. I share these because I hear midlife women agonize and talk about these quite often. Pivoting away from them helped me. I would be negligent if I did not share these ten pivots with you, and all of our Air Hug Community.
