October 14, 2022Episode 14: Optimal Doesn't Always Mean Best When It Comes To Your Fitness
In this episode I discuss a big conversation I've been having a lot over the past several weeks. It's the topic of optimal vs reality. There are stories that we have running through our heads about what is optimal for us based off how we want things to be or how we believe them to be:
Working out in a gym vs. home

Not having enough time vs. needing a certain amount of time

Motivation from outside yourself vs. creating your own
I'll break down common stories I hear including my own. Reality is we all have them and we may not realize they're dictating what we are and aren't doing. Your stories are what may be holding you back from creating real change. It may be painfully uncomfortable confronting these truths, but it can also be freeing.
Are you keeping yourself stuck by striving for what's optimal instead of what you can do right now with what you have. Are you working with your current reality?
As you go through breaking down what's been holding you back, I ask you do this compassionately and without judgement.

October 05, 2022 Episode 13: Uncovering the Fundamentals of Powerful Goal Setting- Part 2
This week's episode is from a free workshop I had back in April called, "Uncovering the Fundamentals of Powerful Goal Setting."
Setting powerful and inspiring goals is crucial to your success. If they're not inspiring, then why would you want to pursue it?
In Part I, I discussed fundamentals #1-5.
In Part 2, I'm discussing fundamentals #6-9
We're going to dig below the surface level and get to the heart of what you really want and how to set your goal up in a way that you can't NOT achieve it.
Most people stay at the surface level, which gets you absolutely nowhere.
When the journey gets boring, tough, or exhausting, do you usually find yourself giving up? Maybe you give into your emotions more and eventually abandon the goal completely.
If you're tired of always starting, making some progress, getting thrown off, then quitting, I’ve got you!
