Fearless after 40

It's funny how sometimes we spend so much time beating ourselves up over not being further along on our journeys instead of celebrating the wins and recognizing how far we've come.  Well...seeing my first 5K race bib the other night alongside a wall of race medals really put some things into perspective.  Maybe my story can do the same for you too. 

I'm dropping some tough love today because I think so many of us can use it right about now.  I see far too many people quit on themselves before they even start.  Are you allowing the fear of failure to keep you from even trying?  ⁣⁣Letting fear hold you back? Staying in your comfort zone? Letting other people's opinions matter? Placing a ceiling over your head and telling yourself this is just as good as it gets?  Don't look back on your life and regret not taking a chance on something because you placed limits on yourself and your life. ⁣⁣If you want to change, YOU have the power to re-write your story to end any way you want and today's episode may give you just the friendly push you need to make it happen! ⠀⠀⁣⁣⠀⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

January 3, 2019.  That day.  That moment.  That one decision I made to become a coach.  It sent me on a trajectory to a healthier, more amazing, more confident, less guilt-filled, more positive-based, what I've been searching for, kind of life.  Listen and find out why I made the decision, how my life has changed because of it, and how it might be the thing that you have been searching for yourself.  

Did you ever wonder why you fail at a diet over and over and over again? Or maybe just can't stick to a workout routine?  Maybe you just say things like, "I just can't do it," "Nothing has ever worked for me," or even "I always fail." If you're never fixing what's going on on the inside, you will never be truly happy on the outside.  You are just using those workouts and fad diets as a bandaid to cover the hurt and the pain and the unresolved issues you've been running away from maybe your whole life.  In today's episode, I talk about how incorporating self-love practices into your daily life can change the game for you. 

No matter what 2020 has brought for you, there's still time to close out this year as the best version of ourselves! It takes 21 days to make a habit, but if you do it for 90 days, it becomes who you are.  Could you imagine rolling into 2021 with an already established healthy lifestyle instead of waiting until January 1st?  Sounds pretty amazing, right?  Check out today's episode for more details!  

In the wise words of Pamela Crim, " Comfort never leads us to the life we want.  So the question is, are you willing to be uncomfortable today to live a bigger, better life tomorrow?"  

I saw firsthand this week how I was letting myself take up space in my comfort zone and these words in her podcast came at a time when I needed them most.  What goals and dreams are you not going after because you're afraid to take a risk, make the changes, be bold enough to take that next step?  In today's podcast, I address this and how you, too, can step outside your comfort zone to live that glorious life you are destined to live.  

Did you know that one moldy blueberry can ruin a bushel of healthy ones?  The moldy blueberry reference comes from one of my favorite tv shows, Judge Judy.  She references this when she talks about toxic, negative people and how,  if we let them, they can ruin our positive energy and vibes. In today's episode, I will discuss the theory of the moldy blueberry and tips on how to protect your positive vibe.    

It's amazing how you can go from one minute feeling like you have it all together to feeling like a total failure the next.  In today's episode,  I share the rollercoaster of emotions that I went through this week from going back into the classroom to sending my kids to school, to questioning even my decisions as a mom.  Maybe you can relate? But what I learned is that you don't always get it right, you may have to pivot...and THAT'S OK! 

Raise your hand if you're feeling overwhelmed, run down, frustrated, lacking energy, the weight of the world, like you can barely keep your head above water...ALL THE THINGS.  Well....saying you don't have time to put your health first is not the answer, nor is this notion of feeling guilty for making yourself a priority.  Hey moms...you're no good to your kids if you aren't taking care of yourself. You need to put yourself first...and the time is NOW!

Words, both positive and negative, can have a serious impact on the way we live and lead our lives.  In today's episode, I discuss how important it is to be mindful of the words you are speaking to yourself; you never know who's listening.  I also share the things I wish I could go back and tell my 20-year-old self, which will also be the things I teach my girls.
