Are you someone who would like to make some changes, but you struggle to bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to go?

You might know what to do to reach your goals (most people know they need to eat more veggies and exercise more), BUT! You have a hard time following through on the things you tell yourself you're going to do in a 24-hour period of time.

You tell yourself, "I don't want to... I would rather eat something else... I deserve a little break... " And then at the end of the day, you tell yourself, "I'll try again tomorrow... or maybe I'm just not cut out for this... I'm just not motivated."

If that is you, you're definitely not alone. I used to hate writing down New Year's Resolutions because I felt like, "why should I write anything down, it's nothing new! It's going to look exactly the same as it did for the last 5 years!"

Until, I learned how to follow through on my word to myself. And that's what this podcast episode is all about: The Follow Through Formula!

There are just three simple steps. If you want to learn more, I'll see you on the inside!

Weight loss is something I actually don't discuss a lot on the podcast because it is a secondary effect of amazing self-care and overall wellness.

Because the truth is, we all know diets don't work. Deprivation and binging don't work!

But I know that losing weight is a constant source of frustration for people - they just want to MOVE ON with their life and improve their relationship with food.

Interestingly, I've noticed so many people live in fear of food: what to eat, how much to eat, just being around food, and knowing the all-to-familiar feelings of being out of control and feeling like if they just eat all the cake it won't tempt them any more....

...then feeling disgusting and so sick of yourself. You want a break from your diet and hating yourself so you eat all the food to feel better.

Ughghg! Does this resonate?!?

Today, I'm discussing 4 weight loss or nutrition myths to help you on your journey to be healthier (and lose the weight)!

I'll see you inside! Xo, Janeen

If you're like most people you're not speaking your body's language.

Sure, you hear it when it aches and pains, but are you noticing the subtle ways your body is telling you HOW to take better care of it?

If not, that's totally normal. Culturally, we're detached from our bodies and their messages. Usually when we don't feel well we look for medications and surgeries to fix our problems. We're looking for an outside solution to an inside problem.

Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of respect for physicians - I know they are doing their best.

"Normal" isn't helping us tune into the wisdom of our bodies to know what they need to be healthy.

In this episode, I talk to you about the importance of really tuning into your body to speak it's language and HOW to actually do that. I'll see you there! Xoxo, Janeen

You are the ONLY one who gets to make the decisions about your emotional home - how you are generally feeling on a daily basis.

Have you ever noticed someone else's emotional home? People can be GENERALLY content or worried or consistently blaming others for their problems or overwhelmed... You know those people.

How about YOU? What does your emotional home look like? Is it chaotic? Stressed? Anxious? Insecure?... Or maybe even optimistic, generous, grateful...?

I have lived in an emotional home of stress, depression, anxiety that I BUILT! - but now my emotional home looks vastly differently (thank goodness).

Building an INTENTIONAL emotional home is the best thing you can do to weather any emotional storm.

In this episode, I show you how to build an emotional home of stability, strength, love... I'll see you there! Xo, Janeen

I saw a meme this week that said, "Somedays you just have create your own sunshine." True, and somedays that is more difficult than others, right?

Today on the podcast, I talk about how to actually GENERATE energy through movement.... How to create your own sunshine and not wait around until your circumstances change (Corona blows over, the weather changes, you can get a haircut again...)

Movement can be a phenomenal tool to support you not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well.

I know there are a lot of women in survival mode right now - who are feeling spent, feeling hopeless. I get you! I've been there too.

On today's show I talk about how to switch gears from surviving to thriving using exercise as a tool - as a way to serve beautiful you. Not just another box to check in your day.

Tune in to find out more! I'll see you there! Xo, Janeen

What would you do differently in your life if you felt like you were worthy to reach your goals? Or you thought you were ENOUGH? Not just "good enough," but enough as a human.

This is a topic I'm exploring on the podcast today because it has come up a lot for myself in my self-coaching, as well as in conversations I've had with others over the last couple of weeks.

I'm sharing my strategies to recognize HOW and WHEN these often subconscious thoughts are keeping you stuck.  Like when you're in a comparison trap, you're believing your inner critic, and you're over-identifying with your circumstances...

When we feel enough and worthy to reach our goals, we have permission to live from confidence, abundance, and self-love. That's exactly what I want for you!

Join me in the discussion! I'll see you inside. xoxo, Janeen

I know I'm not the only one who's told myself lately that I would feel so much better if I slept in, baked a pan of brownies, opted out of my workout, watched movies all day, stayed in my sweatpants...

I've heard from multiple people over the last couple weeks how difficult it is to WANT to do anything healthy.

In this episode, I share my secret sauce to keeping my fire stoked, my engines revved and ready, my energy levels UP!

Even when we're quarantined... or when we don't feel like it.

One of my favorite quotes from James Clear is, "You don't rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems." This is GOLD! It's not your goals that are going to get you moving - it's your SYSTEMS.

Join me, as I talk about my most powerful morning system to help me stay focused, healthy and feeling good. I'll see you there! Xo, Janeen

Join me for today's show where I talk about homeschool and being overwhelmed.

I know a lot of you feel like your world just got flipped upside down because you've got your kids home and it's NOT summer break! You're in charge of their education - or at least in charge of helping them get it done!

So today, I thought I'd share some tips to help you take things in stride and feel better about your current situation. You matter. The world is a better place because you're in it! Xo, Janeen
