If you'd like to give up the idea of dieting or losing weight every time the new year rolls around, this episode is for you.

With the fast pace of life, and the challenge of managing your energy, we seem to forget how to eat more with each passing year.

The food industry is full of great marketers, hooks, bright colors, and intense flavors that draw us in with promises of convenience and time savings.

But what are the ultra-processed foods that make up more than 70% of the food supply in the U.S. and increasingly taking more of the market share on the grocery shelves in other countries really doing to our bodies?

In this episode, I'll fill you in on how they affect your body, your brain, and your weight.

If knowledge is power, and I believe it is, this show will give you the power to change the way you nourish and support your body.

Listen now.

Your future self will thank you.

When it comes to living the life you desire after breast cancer, it can be difficult to overcome deeply ingrained belief systems and worry about how others will think of or judge you for changing your life.

The fear of change can be so powerful that some people will cling to being ill because illness seems like a valid excuse to escape the things they don't want to do.

But, trying to show up as a sick person doesn't support healing, living joyfully or creating a full life.

So why do we think that we have to prove we're too sick to go back to a life that may have contributed to our illness to begin with?

Why do we let other people's thoughts stop us from pursuing our happiness?

Why do we continue to choose thoughts that keep us stuck and hoping for something bad to happen to give us an out?

In this episode I'll tell you some of the reasons I hear and some of the thoughts I had to work through when I was faced with making a big change in my own life.

I'll also offer you some mindset shifts to help you work through some of these common thought errors so you can create a life you love that's better than before breast cancer.™

How would you like to start the new year with a focus on health rather than weight loss?

This time of year, after holiday indulgences, many of us turn to the scale as a measurement of supporting our health.

In this episode I'd like to offer a different perspective on supporting your health that can improve your immune system and have the beneficial side effect of leading to a healthier weight in many cases.

Unless you've been living under a rock, I'm sure you've heard the craze of intermittent fasting for weight loss.

But do you know that fasting has many more beneficial effects that can strengthen your immune system and even support you in the cancering process?

Listen now and get an eye-opening view on the importance of when to eat.

One of the most important, and most challenging things around the holidays is to remember that self-care is a priority.

Traditions can be fun and comforting, but they can also be burdensome and overwhelming.

This episode is a gentle reminder that things don't have to be the way they've always been if it isn't working for you anymore.

It might be time to remember that the most important thing at the holidays or any day is you and your presence.

Is it time to let some things go?

Is it time to ask yourself what it is that you truly enjoy?

Is it time to simplify your life so you can be more present for the things and the people that you truly enjoy?

Listen now and create more space for joy in your life.
