Episode 147. A New Way To Look At Overwhelm In Midlife - In today’s episode we talk about handling overwhelm and looking at it from a different perspective.

I hear from women almost on a daily basis that overwhelm, especially in midlife and beyond, is somewhat a constant emotion that we have to deal with. It arises anytime we are trying something new, doing things that we are not as comfortable with or when we have too much to deal with at once.

In this episode, I will help you reframe the concept of overwhelm so that you can start using it to your advantage rather than something negative you just have to deal with or struggle with.

• The meaning of overwhelm and how it works as a protection mechanism but can also be the key for growth and improvement
• A small shift I applied to my own life when dealing with overwhelm that helps me look at it from a different perspective
• Two important questions to reflect on to help you deal with overwhelm in the moment

• Uncover the 3 weight loss myths of midlife that are keeping you stuck in a body you are unhappy with
• Learn which hormones are key after 40 for vibrant energy levels, better sleep & weight release
• The 3 main resources to focus on to get the body you want in midlife

Episode 146. [Asking The Women] Living Your Weight-Less Life - Today’s episode is Part 3 of the “Ask The Women” mini-series and we talk about the vision of your weight-less life. What are you really after? What are you trying to create?

The reason we need to explore these questions is simple; when I chat with my clients, I ask them to paint the picture of what they want and of what the release journey would look like for them. A lot of times, this exercise becomes quite difficult!

We may have some superficial answers to why we even want to lose weight, such as being healthier, more confident and so on. However, if the real reason is not very clear, deep, if there’s no real emotional buy-in, if you just believe you should, or there’s fear of health related problems, it will be nearly impossible to tap into your inner motivation.

So in today’s episode, I help you explore the top three answers that I hear from women time and time again to help you go deeper, so you can paint a clearer picture of why you may also want to release weight, and hopefully help you get there much quicker and in a more sustainable way!

• The main reasons why some women feel the desire to lose weight and how these answers can help you understand your own personal motivations
• Why it is completely acceptable to want to look more beautiful and sexy and how that can also be a deeply meaningful motivation for weight release
• The importance of really understanding your inner motivation for weight release and how I can help you through this process

Join us to discover how to manage stubborn belly fat in midlife and learn the 5 steps you can implement to start your release process.

Episode 145. [Asking The Women] The One Thing You Are Missing In Your Weight Loss Journey - Today’s episode is Part 2 of the “Ask The Women” mini-series and we continue to explore the answers I received from interviewing women from around the world about their experience with weight loss, weight management, and all things related to looking in the mirror and not loving what they see!

I asked them three primary questions and in this mini-series I break down the most popular answers for you, and give you a different way to look at this topic and a way to reframe it.

If you also share some of the beliefs and some of the limitations that are mentioned in the episode, I would love to try to expand your horizons, giving you other ways to look at things!

Today, the question we explore answers to is what do women perceive to be the one missing thing that's keeping them stuck and unable to release weight for good. If you've been on this boat, and you've tried different diets, and the weight keeps either coming back or you never get to release it in the first place, you may very well resonate with some of these answers and hopefully, I can offer helpful ways to tackle this issue once and for all!

• The second question I asked women from all over the world regarding their experience with weight loss and all things related to not loving the body they see in the mirror!
• How the high amount of overwhelming and conflicting information regarding the food industry affects women in their weight loss journey
• What to do if you feel you don’t see any positive results from your weight release efforts and feel frustated

Join us to discover how to manage stubborn belly fat in midlife and learn the 5 steps you can implement to start your release process.

Episode 143. Releasing Our Sense Of Duty & Prioritizing Joy - In today’s episode, we delve deeper into a topic we discussed a couple of weeks ago in episode 141, “The Gift of Struggle”.

In that episode, we talked about struggle and I shared the other side of the coin and some specific actionable strategies that one can use to start creating from a place of joy. After many years of contemplation, I realized that I have used struggle as a mechanism to create my present life and to pursue my dreams.

I see this happening not only with me, but also with many high-performing women I know, so I decided to investigate a little bit further to understand why that is. So today, we contemplate together why we use struggle to propel ourselves in life!

• Some of the reasons why it is difficult for women to shift their patterns and stop creating from a place of struggle
• Some tips on how to release your sense of duty and prioritize joy in your life!
• What is the joy coefficient and how it is related to a sense of gratitude in your everyday life

Episode 142. Releasing Impostor Syndrome & Dismantling Failure With Pamela Barton - My special guest today is Pamela Barton and we talk about a topic that we have not yet covered on this podcast, which is impostor syndrome. We also talk a lot about failure, dismantling the concept that failure is bad and understanding it from a growth mindset perspective, especially in scenarios where we're trying something new or learning a new skill. Pamela talks about looking at ourselves from a very authentic perspective so we become a little bit kinder to ourselves and have a bit more patience to go through the motions and the process, thus choosing the life that we want to live, rather than just living the life that we stumble across. She shares such an empowering, but also honest view of life that can truly change how you see your own world.

• What is the impostor syndrome and how to release it if you experience it from time to time
• Pamela’s own experience with failure when she started in her intrapreneurial career and how she dealt with not knowing it all while building a new skill set and learning new tools
• How to act if you find yourself either at a cross-roads or are looking at life and wishing you had done more or had done things differently

Episode 141. The Gift Of Struggle - In today’s episode, we talk about the gift of struggle. If any area of your life such as relationships, finances, career, health, ever felt difficult and you feel that you've struggled or is currently struggling with something, then I really hope that this reflective episode is going to be perfect for you!

I have personally been thinking about this topic and reflecting on the word struggle for quite some time, but I have also been reflecting on why, for some reason, I seem to prioritize struggle as the mechanism that I use every time I'm in the process of up-leveling in life.

Specifically for me, the areas of struggle have been on the field of career and health, and I find it interesting because as I reflect back, things always felt hard, difficult and messy. For me, struggle has served a purpose, and maybe you find yourself in the same place but you're just so tired of it!

You're tired of the struggle, you're tired of trying again and again and again, and not getting sustained results!

And it feels like there is a threshold that a lot of us women are in the midst of hitting but crossing through the threshold may feel quite difficult, painful, hard or confusing in some cases. But if you feel any urge or desire inside of you to create life from a more elevated place, a more joyous place in which you are inspired to pursue challenges rather than just be boggled down by the struggle of it all, then this episode is going to be very useful for you!

• A framework you can work through if you are struggling with yo-yo dieting or with any other areas in life!
• What to do if you identify yourself as someone that struggles and want to peel off that label
• The underlying reason that some of us struggle so much to make permanent changes and the two avenues one can take; inspiration or desperation!
