  • 5 Things Everyone Should Know When Working Towards Body Acceptance
    Do you love your body?

    It's actually okay if you don't find yourself loving your body every day. I think it is more of a body acceptance type mindset that will have us feeling better about ourselves.

    In this episode I’ll be talking about 5 things you should know when you are working towards body acceptance. 

    Things like:

    Letting it go

    Stop comparing yourself to others

    Learning to respect and honor your body

    True Health

    And much more…

    You are not alone...

    So many people have issues with their bodies. We all suffer with body issues now and then...we’re human. 

    Happiness is not a body shape, it's what's inside that matters. When we love ourselves from the inside out, everything will come into place.

  • I'll love my body when...I lose this weight...

    So many times I hear people say…”If I could only lose this weight, I’d be happy.”

     

    In this episode, I’ll be diving into my story and talking about body image. 

    I was stuck in the thought of “If only”

    If only I could lose the weight, I’d be happy

    If only I could lose the weight, I’d like my body

    If only I could fit back into these jeans, I’d look great…

    This way of thinking made me almost give up on life completely. 

    THIS is why most people do not see the results they are expecting from a weight loss program. 

    They actually are going about it completely backward. 

     

    I was so backwards with my thinking that I was destroying my insides and shaving 20 years off my life just so that I could LOOK good on the outside for a short period in my life…

     

    I was STUCK in the “IF ONLY” mindset…

     

    I’m giving you tips on how to get “UNSTUCK” and get through that phase in a healthy way. 

     

    It really is embarrassing to admit exactly how vain and ridiculous I was. 

     

    It wasn’t until I got comfortable with the size that I was, no matter what size that was, 

    that I was able to have the right mindset that helped me to start getting lasting results...which is exactly what I will be talking about in this podcast…

  • How to Know if You're Undereating

    Do you struggle with binge eating? Did you know that is one of the signs that you are actually not eating ENOUGH.

     

    We’ve always been taught to eat less and move more in order to lose weight. Well, I’m here  to tell you that it’s not always true AND it’s not the only way for you to lose weight.

    These 1200 calorie diets ARE NOT ENOUGH!!

    In this episode, I’ll be giving you the 5 reasons HOW to know if you are undereating or not.

    Are you constantly craving certain foods? 

    Do you tend to grab whatever you can after a long days work? 

    Do you tend to feel tired and worn down? 

    Do you always find it a struggle to lose weight no matter what you try or how much you eat? 

    Do you notice that you bloat from time to time?

    If you answered YES to any of the above questions...you may want to be sure to listen to this podcast to make sure you are not setting yourself up for failure and frustration. 

    It’s possible that a little tweak may be needed in order for you to see results or push past your plateau...I’ll talk more about that in this episode.

  • You did NOT fail your last diet...the Diet Failed YOU!

    Too many times we feel like we have failed our diet...time and time again. 

    In this episode I’m debunking that “myth” that you “fail” your diet because you do not have willpower or motivation...THE DIET IS FAILING YOU!

    Sadly, we keep looking for another one to “fix” us.

    When your phone fails to work properly, do you blame yourself? 

    When your car goes on the fritz do you blame yourself? 

    Are you picking up what I'm putting down here? 

    We would blame the product in this case. Yet, when it comes to a diet and whether or not it works, we blame OURSELVES!!!. 

    Let’s discuss HOW and WHY to stop blaming yourself and how to start seeing actual results from your weight loss efforts...without feeling guilty, shamed or like a failure.

  • What Happened to HEALTH?

    Through all my years of being into fitness and actually being in the industry, I have seen many different approaches to fitness and weight loss and what I want to know is...

    WHAT HAPPENED TO HEALTH? 

    In this episode I’m talking about a few different aspects of fitness and how I’ve seen it in the past. I’m kind of picking a fight with the way it is promoted and how I feel it has nothing to do with HEALTH at all. 

    All the words the fitness industry uses makes me sick and it does NOT promote health as far as exercise goes. All the fat burners, pre workouts and everything we're using to make ourselves LOOK a certain way...is that HEALTHY?

    So many people are working out to “Get lean”, make “Gains”, to lose weight BUT...what if you don’t see any of those results? Would you still workout? 

    It seems a lot of us are just doing it for a LOOK. BUT, WHAT HAPPENED TO HEALTH? 

    It’s time we change the reasoning behind why we workout and take away the whole “LOOKING GOOD” aspect of it all and make it more about our health...FROM THE INSIDE OUT!

    It’s way deeper that what you’ll look like on the outside...you can have all the muscles and gains but if you don’t start from the inside, it will never be good enough for you. 

    Take a listen to my own story about how and when this all changed for me and how looking at exercise from a different point of view can make a world of difference to your overall health and wellness.

  • Let's Talk About the Results You Got From Your Last Diet

     

    I’m sure you’ve gotten results from a diet or 2 in the past...let’s talk a bit more about that. 

    HOW LONG DID THE RESULTS LAST? 

    In this episode, I’ll be talking about how these quick fix diets are FAILING us. We’re not the ones failing. Sure, diets work in the beginning...BUT I’m talking about what happens later on down the line. 

    If I had known then what I know now, I would be a lot better off with my relationship with food. This is exactly what I’m talking about in this podcast. Let’s get off the emotional cycle of the diets and get lasting results...WITHOUT A DIET! 

    Stop blaming yourself, stop feeling guilty, stop chasing the next quick fix...you’ll hear all about what I went through and HOW you can avoid the mistakes I’ve made in the past and see true weight loss results without all the emotional baggage that comes with dieting
