Topics Covered:

-Navigating the fear of weight regain and the pressure of keeping up with consistent efforts.

-A reflection on the concept of “Pura Vida” learned from a Spring break trip to Costa Rica—enjoying life and letting go of stress.

-The importance of "embodying" your new identity after weight loss and how to practice it consistently in daily life.

-How to handle discomfort when changing habits, especially in the face of family or social pressures.

-Building sustainability in your weight maintenance journey: finding ways to make your efforts realistic for the long haul.

-Practical tips for balancing exercise, meal prep, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle without feeling overwhelmed.

Takeaways:

Weight maintenance is about building resilience and consistency, not perfection.

Embrace flexibility in your routine to prevent burnout and make your habits sustainable for life.

Change is uncomfortable, but it’s a necessary part of building your new, healthy identity.

Don’t be afraid to make adjustments as you go—whether it’s reducing gym time, rethinking meal prep, or allowing for occasional flexibility in your food choices.

Action Steps:

Create your own "worry list" about what feels difficult in your current routine and begin to break down why it’s causing concern.

Consider where you can find flexibility in your habits, especially when it comes to meal prep and exercise.

Journal about where you can find a middle ground between strictness and flexibility, and begin incorporating small changes.

Quote of the Episode:
"It’s not about black or white thinking—it’s about finding consistency and resiliency within a routine that works for you."

Cheers to health and happiness! Pura Vida!

Health coach, wealth coach. They sound similar but most of us look at them differently.

If we don’t feel healthy, we consider hiring a coach, maybe even someone like me, to hold your feet to the fire and keep a strong focus on desired goals.

But on a different note, if we don’t feel wealthy, it doesn’t feel like a coach could help us. We feel that we would have to be wealthy first, then a coach could help us. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Today, our guest Joe Okaly, a financial advisor, (aka financial coach) is here with me to share how the Direction Not Perfection principals align with financial coaching. Intrigued? Stay Tuned…

Hi! I’m Lindsey House, I am a dietitian & Personal Trainer turned accountability coach. I always heard my clients saying “I know what to do, I just need to do it”, so I’ve made it my personal mission to help individuals take action.

While taking action, we get to see other exciting results, such as:

• Letting go of the all-or-nothing mentality (overcoming perfectionism)

• Getting off the sidelines in life and feeling energetic enough to participate

• Decreasing joint soreness to enjoy something as big as travel and small as playing on the floor with grandkids

Check Out Rick's Newest Pain Pattern Book

------------------------

Chronic or difficult pain is often treated using what our guest calls “component thinking” which means practitioners are simply targeting a small part of the body–the tissues that are damaged or irritated.

The problem with component thinking is that it works best for simple pain issues like strains, tears, or broken bones. Component thinking approaches begin to fail when pain doesn’t go away after this natural healing process should have occurred and turns into a more complex, chronic condition.

This indicates a “systems problem” – meaning there is a system of stressors acting on your tissues, irritating or interrupting this natural process of healing. One thing is for sure - if you’re still in pain after three months, you have a system problem.

Rick, our guest today, uses a systems approach to help individuals fix chronic pain... we will learn how to get out of 'individual silo thinking' and pull multiple systems together for optimal relief from PAIN.

---------------------------------------------------

Rick Olderman, physical therapist who specializes in helping people with difficult pain problems. Rick talks about his own approach and interviews other health practitioners looking for new answers to old problems.

Solving The Pain Puzzle - Cases from 25 years as a physical therapist https://www.amazon.com/Solving-Pain-Puzzle-Physical-Therapist/dp/1476690693

In this book, the author discusses his ground-breaking approach to treating chronic musculoskeletal pain, drawn from decades in his Denver, Colorado orthopedic physical therapy clinic.

Using a holistic yet evidence-based strategy to solving the body's pain mysteries, he provides insight and hope to those seeking answers, arguing that the key is to recognize that the location of pain has little to do with where the pain actually originates.

The book takes the reader on a journey of self-discovery, revealing unique body connections at the root of chronic pain, and includes real patient stories about how this approach helped with everything from sciatica to migraines.
