Beyond YOUR Comfort Zone

Have you ever cried in the dressing room? On this week's podcast I take you back to my young 20’s when I was 25 lbs heavier.

I remember looking in the miracle, and having the thought “I am so big”. 

I then offer 3 tools that I learned that helped me make all the defeating thoughts I had in the dressing room to strengths.

I have learned how to create my best body from the inside, which through 20 year has helped me take the actions I want to get the outside results that I had wanted for so many years.

I love helping moms find where they want to go on their journey. We start right where you are, and then we learn the specific tools you need to help you reach the goals you are striving for.

If you are right where I was 20 years ago or anywhere in between, I would love you help you through it.

"How can I be happy? I just want to be happy in life." I hear people say this often.
 Is there something in life that is better then happy?

I share what if feels like to be fully living.

I offer three questions:

1- Are you willing to have doubts?

2- What is it you really want?

3- At the end of your life, How do you want to describe your life? Are we living the fullest life?

I belive living an exciting and scary life is a vulnerable place to be, but it is where I feel ALIVE.

I share some experiences in my own life where I am trying to live life to the fullest.

One the podcast this week, I discuss how making the next best decision is really what helps us move forward and not suck or resentful of things that have happened in the past

I offer three different areas in your life where you can make a decision and then move on.

I share about a soccer player, who stays stuck when they make the wrong play on the field. If they stay stuff in their  head about the bad play,  they miss the opportunity to make a play when the ball comes again. 

How will you make your next best decision?
It doesn't have to be big decision. The big things in life are made up of small decisions.

On the podcast this week, I share what my weightloss journey has been like up until now. 

Consistancy, preparation, and eventually all the hard work will be worth it. 

I share what my journey through weightloss and finding my lighter (phyiscal and mental health) self has been like.

Realizing this is the only body we have, and that I want to make it to the end of the race of life.

The three tricks I offer are:

1- Find certain foods that can be  staples

2- There is not one perfect food. It take trial and error to find the foods that works.

3- It is a matter of being consistant.

Everything you've ever wanted is on the other side of fear. -George Adair 
This week I talk about how to navigator our lives with fear.

I compare how fear keeps us stuck if we don't acknowlegde it.
 If we choose courage, we use the moral strength to get us to what we really want.

I list a few things about fear, and then a few things about courage.
Then you have the chance to decide if you are choosing fear or courage to lead you through your life.
Fear
1- recognize fear (Elizabeth Gilbert)
2-we create fear with our thougths 
3- fear exist in the future (James Wedmore)
4-come back to the present to minimize your fear (Joe Dispenza)

Courage 
1- embrace your vunerablity
2-admit you are human, and that you have fears
3-risk and uncertainty
4-know failure, learn from it and move on
5-accepting live's challenges

This week on the podcast I talk about how all of us like to win or in other word feel better or good about what we are doing.

I break it down into three areas:
food
body 
connection with yourself 

When we choose premium fuel aka healthy food, we are having a loving relationship with food. We use food to improve our bodies

When we team up with our body and support it, then we create the results we want much quicker.  Also, when we show our body compassion we don't  stay in shame or frustration with our body.

When you learn to be "comfortable in your own skin", then you begin to see that feeding it positive fuel in the ways of your thoughts, that lead to your feeling, which is the fuel to your action, can really be the secret to winning.  You can see the an immediate result in this area when you are working out.

If you want to feel like you are winning in life, try choosing one of the three areas to improve.

Also the incline trip is scheduled for April 17th,  and a new TEAM ELEVATE will be opening in the near future.  Stay tuned.

What legacy will you leave? 
Now that my mom has passed on, I have realized more and more how import her legacy is to me.
We have the chance to make an impact to those around us. 
 On the podcast this week, I dive into how we can start creating the ripple effect we want.
Sometimes we feel guilty or that we aren't the best mom.
I am here to shine some light on this topic. I am not a perfect mom and my mom wasn't a perfect mom, but she was the exactly the right mom for me.
I want to help each of you see,  at any given moment you can decide what you want your ripple effect to be.

I share a few  of the ripple effects and legacy my mom left behind.
- committment
-consistency
-unconditional love

It starts with looking at ourselves. Strengthen who we are as moms so we can show up to our children as our best self.  Being able to love our child right where they are, requires us to do that for ourselves as well.

They say it takes a village to raise a child, but I say it takes a village to raise us moms. 

That is why I love the work I do as a mother and a life and weight coach.

On the podcast this week, I talk about how we can get into action and make a permenant change. 
 It may surprise you the first step don't have to do with action to get your desired result.
It starts a couple step back in what we are think and what story we are telling ourself.
I share three things that can help
- Take 5 minutes to do a thought download, and I explain how powerful this can be
- Be honest which thought you are really choosing to believe (i.e. I want to lose weight BUT.......) This is how you can discovery the sneaky thougths that are really sabbotogging your success.
-When creating stratagies put discomfort as part of the plan

Once you start apply these three steps, you can get into action and make a permanent lifestyle change.
