Climbing with Coach Kiah episodes

  • 17. Social Media, Comparison & Body Image at Age 14 and Beyond
    In this episode, I’m introducing you to a very special guest, my youngest cousin Lillie, a 14-year-old who just started her freshman year of high school. If you’ve ever wondered what you’d say to your high school self if you traveled back in time, that’s what this conversation felt like for me. I’ve come to realize that so much of what we struggle with in our teenage years is similar in adulthood, just in different forms. So whether you’re a parent to a teen yourself, or just a woman who still finds herself struggling with comparison and body image, this episode will resonate with you.

     

    In this episode, we’ll chat about:

    • Staying true to yourself
    • The impacts of social media and comparison
    • Navigating our own body image and insecurities

  • 16. The Life-Changing Attitude of Gratitude
    ‘Tis the season of joy, family, giving, and gratitude but sometimes the holiday season can also bring with it sadness, anxiety, depression, and grief. Thankfully, the good news is that the very thing that can help us navigate those uncomfortable emotions happens to be built right into the season: gratitude.

     

    I started my own personal development journey with gratitude FIRST, establishing the habit of writing down five simple bullet points of gratitude each morning. This simple practice, which I have now been implementing for three years strong, has quite literally changed my life.

     

    In this episode, we’ll chat about:

    • Ways gratitude benefits your social, psychological, and physical well-being
    • How gratitude changes your brain
    • Five ideas for incorporating gratitude into your daily life

  • 12. How I Became Coach Kiah - My Entrepreneurial Journey
    In honor of October being National Women’s Small Business Month, I am dedicating the next four episodes to women entrepreneurship. I’ve found that whether it’s the journey of health or business, the underlying factor that determines our success is the same: mindset.

     

    We’re kicking off this series with my own entrepreneurship story. The journey to becoming Coach Kiah has been anything but a straight path. Growing up I never intended to become an entrepreneur, but over time my heart (and homesickness) eventually pulled me in that direction. There have been lots of unexpected twists and turns along the way and in this episode, I share with you the story of how it all unfolded.

     

    In this episode, we’ll chat about:

    • My first entrepreneurial endeavors in a one-room schoolhouse
    • The first full-time business I owned and why I pivoted
    • What the behind the scenes of Coach Kiah currently looks like

It may be a little counterintuitive, but I’m going to tell you a few of the things you DON’T need in order to be successful and make big strides in your health journey.

     

    In this episode, we’ll chat about:

    • Ways to bootstrap your health journey without spending money
    • 4 things that you DON’T need to make big strides forward
    • The one thing you DO need to be successful
