Today, I’m talking to Carly from Sydney, Australia who started working with me in June 2020. I’ve brought her on because I want to share what transpired for her in the six months we worked together. She had really profound results after a year of hesitation. She was doing busy work for the sake of being busy and using up time...and then beat herself up over not getting everything on her daily to-do list done. In this episode, we discuss how she turned it around and learn to set boundaries for herself.

6:08 - The big problem Carly discovered when she first started

11:24 - Carly taking responsibility for what was happening at work

16:23 - How data (and a figurative face slap) led to a promotion and pay raise

19:36 - Why high-functioning women constantly throw themselves under the bus

25:43 - Where the energy behind drive or ambition really comes from

31:15 - What drives Lisa a little crazy in the coaching world

36:39 - The ultimate lesson Carly learned about herself

If you’ve been a regular listener, you’ve heard about how I’ve been feeling very flat and uninspired lately. After sharing how I’ve been feeling, I moved that energy and learned that over the years I was a control freak who didn’t want people to see that I didn’t have it all together. Through years of coaching and therapy, I discovered that I’m my most powerful when I’m talking about my experiences and allowing myself to feel what I’m feeling. Many of my clients also struggle with this. So if you’re feeling emotionally flat, you might have a case of emotional constipation.

5:18 - The comment from my son that made my jaw drop

9:45 - Operating with an underlying subconscious belief of lack

I’m committed to living an extraordinary life on my own terms, day in and day out. My business has just passed an incredibly significant milestone (which I’ll share on a future episode). For now, I just need to be present to what I’m experiencing and allow myself to celebrate and process it. So today, I’m taking you along on a drive with me (literally) as I talk about getting from point A to point B and what happens when you get to point B.

3:34 - What has shifted for me the past couple of years

5:24 - Why point B doesn’t exist and how it’s like an athlete’s career

8:09 - You’ll always be chasing happiness if you don’t learn to love the journey

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been going in and out of this phase of feeling really flat. I’ve been feeling sad, uninspired, frustrated, sometimes even angry and haven’t felt super inspired to do anything--not be on social media putting out content or consuming others, nor being inspired to write. In fact, I’ve only felt like showing up for my clients and the group I facilitate. Despite not feeling like recording this episode, my mastermind reminded me today of a promise I made: to talk about the gnarly bits of life as well. So I’m discussing how to get over the COVID-induced wall we’ve all hit at some point or another.

3:04 - The impact of a missing connection with women I’m close to

6:37 - What I want you to know about what you’re feeling

9:19 - What creates our suffering and the place you can always go back to

15:43 - The easiest way to acknowledge and shift your emotions

19:13 - Why you want to process your feelings before you’re forced to

I hear all the time from my clients, “I should have...” over and over. The truth is we don’t know what we don’t know until we know it. We all have blind windows. So when you start telling yourself you should have done this or that, it’s an opportunity for you to pay attention and look at the stories you’re telling yourself. In this short but sweet episode, I talk about why should-ing on yourself makes no sense and is actually detrimental to you.

2:25 - How should-ing contributes to criticism and self-abuse

5:44 - What to do in the moments when the “shoulds” show up

Today’s topic is something I’m super passionate about, and I think it gets a lot of people confused along the way. You’ve probably heard me say, “Let it be easy” but at the same time we still have to do hard things. So we’re going to dive into doing difficult things today. (And on an important side note: I’m celebrating my podcast hitting a major milestone -- 100,000 downloads! Thanks to all my listeners who’ve helped make this possible).

6:09 - Why I really want to talk about this subject

9:32 - The uncomfortable things we face when doing something hard

14:25 - Shifting my energy to allow resting to feel easier instead of torturous

So many are very much attached to their identities of who they think they are. It might be an identity about your body, weight, relationships--things you literally tell yourself that you can’t stop doing. I have a very special guest today who you’ve probably heard me talk about before and who’s been a guest on the show prior. More than anybody I know, my husband Macey has really changed some massive habits in his life. For nine years now, he has been sober! So in this episode, he and I are going to talk a little about his recovery and developing new habits to create a new identity for yourself.

4:42 - Macey letting go of his past history

10:05 - How he tracked his progress in recovery

15:04 - Staying committed to sobriety and maintaining new habits

20:47 - Our ability to transform and create new identities

22:20 - Numbing habits to avoid feelings and doubling down on habit stacking

33:17 - Why people struggle with establishing new habits

I really want to bring you behind-the-scenes and share part of my life I’ve shared before but in a different way. I closed my last live launch to Weight Loss from Within yesterday, and for the entire week I’ve been feeling a little sad and off, even had hints of anger at times. But this morning I came to realize that today is the anniversary of a very profound day in my life. So often we don’t recognize how much our past is still impacting us, even if we’re not still emotionally tied to it. In this episode, I talk about the catalyst for my huge transformation nine years ago and where I plan to go from here.

3:57 - The huge realization I had by checking my Facebook account today

7:01 - An invitation to listen to your wake-up call starting right now

11:00 - What I plan to do to make sure that this time next year feels joyful

Initially, I didn't intend to share this, but it’s so good that I had to. I recently retired my Weight Loss From Within program, despite it still doing really well, because I don’t want to focus on just weight loss anymore. To be in integrity with my work, I must ensure that I’m talking about the importance of caring for your physical and emotional well-being, not just specifically focused on how to lose weight.

In late January, I ran a masterclass and poured my heart and soul into it. I had my team strip out the coaching portions and just include myself sharing information on how to stop worrying about your weight, love your body, and take control of your health. So without further ado, enjoy the masterclass!

10:00 - The problem with focusing on the problem you think you have

15:07 - Showing up for your body instead of expecting it to show up for you

21:51 - Body follows the mind, so whatever you tell yourself will become your truth

27:09 - Data about your body doesn’t tell you how to feel but allows for better decisions

33:51 - An acronym to write down that’ll help you slow down, pause, and tune in

42:17 - One major strategy you must do to lose weight and choosing your tolerations
