Whether you're talking about your food, your space, your curling iron, whatever, we need to use boundaries to let others know what we will stand for in our lives. And let's be clear: if you want to reach your goals in LIFE, you need to learn how to set boundaries because no one is ever going to care as much as you do about your dreams, your priorities, or your stuff. In today's episode I share a bunch of examples that illustrate just how to set boundaries (and how NOT to) and how to do it in a loving way. See you there! For show notes: www.janeenalley.com/50

The winter time can be a tough time for people. Not only are the blues (or seasonal depression) a struggle this time of year, but there seems to be ample opportunities for energy output: parties, service, concerts, shopping, running around that can get us stuck in a downward spiral if we're not careful. As someone who has struggled with the winter Blues, I wanted you to make sure you are doing a few things to keep your energy balanced heading into the season. I know from personal experience that taking good care of yourself this time of year can help to bring you joy, not the grumps. I'll see you inside. For the show notes, go to: www.janeenalley.com/49

The holidays are upon us! No matter what holiday you celebrate, there is likely to be decadent food involved. Ooof! So what do you do?! I'll tell you what I used to do. It all started with stocking up on Halloween candy to get prepped for the trick-or-treaters - that I inevitably would get into. I had to run back to the store a time or two to make sure I had enough - promising myself that I would STOP eating it all. That started the Great Holiday Annual Binge that lasted through Valentine's Day! When I realized that was a THIRD of my year, I knew there had to be a better way. So, true to my nature, I figured it out! In this episode, I talk about the shifts I had to make in order to keep my health integrity through my most difficult time of year. I share it ALL with you today. I'll see you there! Show notes: www.janeenalley.com/48

How often do we wish away time away? We want to reach the goal NOW or we are looking forward to something in the future - like a holiday - so we get distracted with what that will look like: wishing, dreaming, longing for the future date. The problem with that is that we aren't present in the moment. Right now. Have you ever stopped to think what that's costing you? It's costing you the present moment, for sure, but often it actually costs you your goal. All the details inside. See you there! See the show notes @ www.janeenalley.com/47

I love to learn more behind-the-scenes content of my favorite podcasters' lives. I get really into the shows where they share information about some personal things because it creates a stronger connection between me and their world. And if I'm honest, it makes them more human and the things they are doing in their lives feel more doable to me. I decided to do a show like that today. (*I thought this would be an easy show, but I was so wrong.*) I take you into my world and share more about relationship with Merrill (my husband), our family, my insecurities, guilty pleasures, fitness goals, favorite drinks (you'll never guess)... and more! I'll see you there! For show notes, head over to www.janeenalley.com/46

Join me this week as I talk about HOW to create a brand new habit. And have it stick. Something I see all the time - and I have been guilty of this myself - is biting off more than we can chew. We get so focused on the finish line and what our life is going to look like after we reach our goal, we forget to make the daily changes necessary to create the transformation. Here's the truth when it comes to reaching our goals and dreams: the goal is totally different than the system or habit it takes to get us there. Often these changes are messy and unglamorous and it feels like grunt work. The key to making lasting change is not what you might expect (spoiler alert: fortunately, it doesn't require any motivation or willpower). If you're curious what it takes, I'll see you on the inside. For show notes go to: www.janeenalley.com/44.

Do you struggle to say "no" to things and end up feeling resentful that you're overbooked and have too much on your plate? No is usually not a popular response, but it doesn't mean you can't say "no" and be kind, dignified and graceful in your response to others. Join me on this episode where I discuss the reasons why we say "yes" and how to say "no" more often.
