According to the World Health Organization (WHO), stress has been classified as the health epidemic of the 21st century. What does this mean for Americans? The general level of worry and unhappiness in the modern world is creating a national epidemic of stress.

I've seen the impact of chronic stress, firsthand, and so have many of you. But then there is today's guest, Natalie Newhart, a woman looking to be her best in all that she does - who saw the dark side that stress can bring. For Natalie, stress caused her to balloon and gain an unhealthy amount of weight, no matter how much she exercised, wreaked havoc on her body, and deteriorated her mental and emotional health.

If you're an overachiever, you're going to want to tune into this one.

ABOUT NATALIE NEWHART

Natalie is a Self-Mastery Coach who uses a unique blend of science & psychology to teach women how to train, align and rewire their thought and emotional patterns that are driving the actions and behaviors preventing them from their body goals. When women are aware of the hidden forces that are driving them to eat the food, skip workouts, over-push themselves, or be stressed out AND we have a strategy to eliminate those forces,  then the body and life they want not only becomes possible- it becomes effortless.

Her methods use a combination of exercise science, psychology, and neurology. When working one-on-one with me, I tailor your diet and exercise to your age, hormones, and menstrual cycle (if present). She addresses the ROOT problems that keep women from being lean as they age. And I teach women how to rewire their thoughts and emotional patterns around food, exercise, and rest so that it’s not a coincidence that they have self-control with food, a love for exercise, and a vibrant body.

Did you know: 9.8 million working mothers in the U.S. are suffering from burnout?

Just by being a working mother, women are 28% more likely to experience burnout than fathers, according to the analysis. That means in the U.S., there are 2.35 million additional cases of burnout due to the unequal demands of home and work that are placed on working mothers. And cases of burnout are higher among Black, Asian, and Latino mothers compared to their White counterparts. 

This episode is dedicated to working moms, helping to provide some tips and resources so that you can break free and come up for air.

ABOUT ALEX STARK

My name is Alex.  I am a coach and a mom. I’m also a real person.  I like wine, vacations, and spending time with my family.  I once lived on a ship for a year in Panama (the country), while managing a remote, high-end marlin fishing lodge in the Pacific Ocean.

My practice is dedicated to helping high-achieving women, especially Moms in Executive Leadership & business owners succeed at work while staying present, being connected at home, and leading fulfilled, balanced lives. 

I understand how the path to a successful career can make it seem impossible to lead a balanced life. After all, the world will not only ask more of you than you can possibly give but demand that you never stop giving of yourself. But let me tell you a secret-- Not only is balance possible, but it’s quite a bit of fun. What’s more, by finding balance and satisfaction in your personal life, you can perform better in your career.

Oh, by the way - I am also a licensed mental health psychotherapist with a practice active in 3 states.  Before going into business for myself, I had over 10 years of experience in executive-level Leadership in a large nonprofit focused on education and mental health.  I am a mom to two young daughters and am all too familiar with the fact that if left unchecked, career pressure and burnout can take over your life. 

In fact, that’s how this Executive Burnout Coaching program came to be.

We're back with another listener Q+A episode and this time we're going deep into that feeling of being stuck. What does it feel like, why do we get in this rut, and of course, ways to become unstuck?

When we look at this feeling of being stuck, the statistics are sad. A recent study has found that 69% of people feel trapped in the same old routine, and only 3 out of 10 people are happy with their lives. People are feeling stuck. So, how do you get unstuck in life? This episode will help you answer this question.

I thought that by now, in 2023, we wouldn't see so many diets. Seriously. Now there are lifestyle diets to consider as well as diets to lose weight and get to that "ideal" body image you're after.

THE THING IS: While it is important to maintain healthy eating behaviors, dieting isn't the best way to achieve them. Dieting typically leads to disappointment because they can't work long-term. You are left wondering "what's next" and likely lose the progress you've made. And then you repeat the cycle again and again. But what if you could break free from the diet mentality? What if showing up for yourself meant NOT being on a diet?

Good news - Toni Marinucci, the owner of Diet Tips with Toni, is here to challenge our perspectives and encourage a much healthier relationship with our food.

Toni Marinucci, MS, RD, is a Registered Dietitian and business owner of Diet Tips With Toni who ironically teaches people now NOT to diet. She is also a Podcast Host, social media influencer, TEDx speaker , and #1bestselling author of the book, Once Upon a Diet where she discusses the parallels between dieting, dating, and romantic relationships, and how we treat them the same. Her team of RD’s provides online nutrition coaching to help women break free from the all-or-nothing mindset and encourage them to embrace balance instead. Her mission is to end restrictive diet culture by providing simple tips to healthy living while incorporating foods you love!

Life can be hard. I know. In every, single day, there will be both junk and joy. And sometimes, there are going to be TOUGH challenges and struggles. But what if we were in control of the meaning of our lives? What if we had the power to choose whether something is good or bad? Spoiler alert: we DO have that power.

In this episode, I am going to chat about what reframing is, what it looks like in practice, and how much power we truly have to choose negativity or joy. After listening, you're going to learn how to turn adversity into opportunity, weakness into strength, and failure into success.

FROM THE EPISODE:

Reframing Questions:

Powerful quote from Viktor Frankl: “The one thing you can’t take away from me is the way I choose to respond to what you do to me. The last of one’s freedoms is to choose one’s attitude in any given circumstance.”
