Finding Your Spark Again

What constitutes a good life, anyway?

We all have a vision of what a good life looks like for us. For some, it may mean having financial stability. For others maybe having a career that allows us to do what really we love. And others may say that it’s having a family that loves us unconditionally and supports us through thick and thin. Whatever your ideal life may be, the desire for it is what propels us forward. But what does it take to have not just your ideal life but a really good one, where you can enjoy every area of it and be authentic with yourself?

Sneaking Into The Kitchen In The Middle Of The Night or Hiding Food In Your Purse?

The sound of the wrapper crinkling in the quiet of the night, grabbing your favorite snack in sight. It starts with a simple craving. A thought creeps into your mind, urging you to grab just one more cookie, one more bag of chips. But before you know it, that single craving has spiraled into an all-out binge.

For 45 years Julie Latz was obsessed with and controlled by food. She felt like her life revolved around it. She was either trying the “latest and greatest” diet plan hoping she could muster up the willpower to stay on it long enough to take off all the weight, or she was eating everything in sight.

Finally, in October of 2010, She realized that all of the dieting she had tried only led to deprivation and that deprivation led right back to bingeing. It was a cycle she repeated for 45 years and the only way to change her life was to interrupt this pattern.

Luckily she figured out what she had been doing wrong all along. She realized that she needed to live as the opposite of a binge eater in order to start feeling calm around food. By making some simple mindset shifts, she changed her relationship with food, reached her goal weight, and reclaimed her life.

She changed from being a food addict to being a peaceful eater and happily maintaining a 90 pound weight loss.

Rediscover the joy of a healthy relationship with food with our guest today, Julie Latz, Food Psychology Coach, who used to be a food addict, and break free from being a binge eater to being a peaceful eater.

What brings you happiness?

As easy as it may sound but this is probably one of the hardest questions to answer. That might be because tend to get stuck on someone else’s idea of happiness to please the people around us. Just because the people you look up to find happiness in one thing, doesn’t require you that you also find happiness in that. Are you at the point where you can stand for your own happiness and hold a space for your emotions? – If your answer is NO, then this would be the best time to choose to pursue joy. After all, happiness is a conscious choice.

Moving Through the World Without The Ability To Express Freely Can Be Debilitating.

Society has taught us to mute our inner thoughts. And in doing so, we get used to not sharing our preferences, our thoughts, or our ideas. We were conditioned to please other people so we choose not to express ourselves to avoid any conflicts without realizing that it slowly robs us of our joy and our identity. 

Nelson Mandela says, “Live life as though nobody is watching, and express yourself as though everyone is listening”. So how can we express ourselves freely without damaging our relationships?

Jeremy de Tolly is a communication coach who helps people overcome fear and anxiety around speaking and singing so that they can express themselves with confidence, clarity, and ease. He’s helped hundreds of people—from CEOs to yoga teachers—show up powerfully as their authentic selves.

Jeremy is trained in multiple modalities including energy coaching, Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE®), and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). He uses trauma-informed somatic therapies and mindfulness methods to help people overcome their fears of expressing themselves and being heard and seen. He has been featured in publications such as GQ, Men’s Health, and Rolling Stone.

When he’s not coaching clients, Jeremy is making music. He is a singer, guitarist, pianist, and studio producer. In 2012, Jeremy won the South African Music Award for BestAlternative Album. He lives in Elgin, South Africa.

Please enjoy the podcast as my guest, Jeremy De Tolly, Communication Coach, is here to help us achieve joy by expressing ourselves freely with confidence and clarity.

What Grief Does For The Feeling Of Joy?

How Do You Go On Enjoy Life Again?

Moving through grief is never that easy. You may find yourself lost and questioning what’s the point of living. Losing someone you deeply love feels like losing a part of who you are. In your mind, you think it’s not appropriate and disrespectful whenever you laugh and enjoy things after a loss. So instead of allowing yourself to feel a bit better, you often stay in that state of sadness, regret, remorse and other symptoms of grief. But no matter how you deal with it, in the end, you still have to make a decision on how you’re going to get to the other side.

Carol Banens lost her husband 4.5 years ago. She has gone on a transformational journey from grief to joy, along the way unpacking unresolved grief from the loss of her sister, leaving her 36-year career as a physical therapist and becoming a life coach. She has created The Joyful Life Blueprint for midlife women ready to move from feeling empty and lost to creating an epic next chapter and is now a certified grief to gratitude coach, so she can help others through this challenging and painful time so that they can see the possibilities of joy in their life again.

Please watch and listen to our podcast today as our guest, Carol Banens, a certified Grief to Gratitude Coach, is here to share her life story of finding joy and purpose to get back and move forward with your life again.

What does "Being Right" Cost You In Your Relationships?

When conflict arises, all that matters to you is to prove your point! In a heated conversation, it feels like your blood is rising and your ears just shut off that all you can hear is yourself talking. Our tendency to fight back often leaves us in more conflict and confusion. 

Being in any kind of relationship sometimes requires a lot more listening than talking, which is very challenging because everybody wants to be heard but not everyone wants to listen. We often describe communication as “speaking” or “talking” and so in two-way communication, listening becomes underrated. How can we really be happy in our relationships if this is always the case?

Our guest, Ann Visser,  a relationship coach and the founder of 4Better4Ever, is here with us on today’s podcast to share what it takes to build a healthy relationship and we can create more happiness while enjoying it.

For over 20 years, Ann Visser has been equipping individuals and organizations to communicate in a way that aligns with their values so they can lead their families and their teams into a better life.
 
 She’s a certified John Maxwell Team coach, speaker and trainer at her company 4Better 4Ever. Ann has spoken to diverse audiences including marginalized women, married couples, businesswomen, business leaders, students, churches, Staff and addicts in recovery, and local and international students through Transformation Paraguay. 

Fun Fact: She has been married to her high school sweetheart for 42 years and they farm on beautiful Prince Edward Island. They have 5 married children and 11 grandchildren.
