In this episode I do our very first interview with the amazing Susan Lee! Susan candidly shares her weight journey and how she started yoga, even though it was new to her and she didn’t know what to expect.

Susan shares what process she went through as she began her body, mind, and soul transformation and that weight loss isn’t just about hitting a number on the scale. This is one of my all time favorite people and discussions.

I distinctly remember the moment when I was growing up that I began to believe that my greatest value came from how well I performed and how thin I was. Reflecting on that is challenging and sad, but so very important to talk about. You also might be able to pinpoint the exact time you didn't feel worthy enough unless....fill in the blank. 

In this episode I chat about refocusing on what's happening within us, and using our yoga practice as a practice of self study and healing.

Fall is traditionally & literally a time to reap what we've sown from summer, and create new intentions and preparations for the coming winter. 

In this episode, I chat about how easy it is to rush through this beautiful time of observing and harvest, which might cause us to miss some of the most precious moments of today. And then I wrap things up with how you can use this fall equinox to help you go deeper when it comes to how you feel about your body, your faith, and your yoga practice.

Have you asked yourself this question, "What do I stand for?"

In today's episode I am so very excited to share with you what our beliefs are when it comes to yoga, our faith, relationship with food, advocacy, and our family. That's a long list but I realized how important it is to continue to talk about the things we are working so hard at achieving everyday. And then I pass the challenge onto you, "What do you stand for?"

Do you ever plan out your year with amazing goals, focused on all you want to accomplish, only to find that 6-7 months later you have almost forgotten ALL of them, or at least some of them, and you're not even sure where to begin to get back on track. 

Today I want to encourage you to finish this year STRONG! You are capable of pressing in and using the next four months to really go after what you set out to accomplish at the beginning of this year.

Reconnection happens when we begin to notice what's going on within our bodies and what our body is even asking us for. For so long I was completely disconnected with my body.

In this episode I continue the discussion of what that looked like for me, how my yoga practice helped facilitate this connection, and suggestions you can take into your own practice to have a deeper connection with your body.

I never knew I could control my thoughts. When I learned that concept it literally shook the core foundational mental programming I had always believed. 

In this episode I share with you the process I went through in discovering how powerful my mind and thoughts were when it came to my weight and overcoming the deep struggle of overeating. I also share how your yoga practice can be a powerful space for you to explore this concept and help you as you journey toward your healthier ideal body weight.

In this episode I share with you a specific time when I was desperate to have a breakthrough when it came to overeating and how I felt about my body. A moment when I was searching for something different to help me with a struggle that I hadn't had relief from in over a decade...until that moment.

I dive deep into the short guide I wrote called "You Have Everything You Need Inside of You To Lose Weight" in hopes that you too can have a different perspective during your journey to having a F.I.T body.

Are you someone who struggles with your weight and often feel like you're not enough to succeed when it comes to getting to your ideal body weight? FRUSTRATED!!!!

Well, for many years I felt the same way! In todays episode I share with you encouragement and tips on how you can work on changing this mindset and suggestions of how you can use your yoga practice to help you get there.

This two part series is all about creating space in preparation for spring!

This episode is about “spring cleaning” when it comes to your mind (thoughts) and your body on and off your yoga mat. Then next week in part two I will be talking about filling the cleared space back up with things that serve you to help you continue down the path of purpose and into this beautiful spring season.
