I had a wide ranging conversation with Rae-Lyn Bodker.

Rae-Lyn is a health and wellness coach, along with being a busy wife, mom and stepmom. Growing up in a small town, Rae-Lyn was a cheerleader, multi-sport athlete, and graduated top of her class. After attending college on academic scholarship, she pivoted her pursuit of a degree in exercise and sports science, to become a mom.

A divorce in her late 20s led Rae-Lyn down a path of anxiety, depression, and other health issues. After battling those for well over a decade, Rae-Lyn discovered and began implementing a whole health approach that prioritized routines and building healthy habits. Once she uncovered the tools necessary to live a life with intentionality, she began coaching other women and moms to do the same.

In her free time, Rae-Lyn loves spending time with her family, traveling with her husband, playing sand volleyball, reading and scrapbooking. She enjoys all things seasonal, especially decorating her home for fall and Christmas!

Are you giving yourself the credit you deserve?

Or, are you like me and focusing on what you don't have or what you haven't done?

Self-compassion means giving yourself credit and celebrating even the small wins. This is a hard mindset shift to make but it's definitely worth the effort.

A lot of people don’t know how much I’ve struggled with my weight. It has been a battle of willpower that I finally lost. The battle is not over… just the battle of willpower. I’m working through my limiting beliefs and mindset challenges to change how I see food and how I look at my weight.

If you’ve ever struggled with your weight then I’ll be teaching you some of the things I’ve changed while on this journey. Even more,  I’m realizing that the principles I’ve learned with regard to my weight apply to multiple other aspects of our lives as well.

Life is a journey and there are many lessons to be learned.

It’s easy to want to give up when the going gets tough. We start to have thoughts that it’s just not worth the effort. In this episode, Liz talks about the evolution of her thinking.  We all are in different phases of our life and our circumstances and environments can often change how we view things. In the past, Liz believed that she just had to work harder to reach her goals. Now she realizes that sometimes doing less gives her more. It’s not uncommon for you to hear Liz say, “Do you want to give up? Don’t. Just sleep instead.”

Sometimes when we have a lot going on it’s challenging to know where to focus our time and attention. This week Liz talks about the wheel of life. She heard about this concept at a Tony Robbins event and uses this tool over and over again when things are feeling off balance.

Here’s his website if you want to go through the questions to see how your wheel looks. https://core.tonyrobbins.com/wheel-of-life-4/#:~:text=The%20Wheel%20of%20Life%20is,the%20whole%20thing%20off%20balance.
