Modern Body Modern Life

In today’s episode — part two of The Transformation Series — we’re diving into a powerful (and maybe unexpected) truth: real, lasting transformation doesn’t come from being perfect. It comes from doing better — consistently, compassionately, and in a way that works with your real life.

I’ll show you how chasing perfection often sets us up for failure, and how choosing “better” instead leads to sustainable change. We’ll talk about the mental shifts, mindset tools, and lifestyle tweaks that can help you lose weight, feel more in control, and actually enjoy the life you’re building — even if it includes vacations, dessert, or skipping the 5 a.m. workouts.

If you’ve ever thought you had to go “all in” to see results… this episode is your permission slip to ditch perfection and create real, empowering change instead.

🎧 Plus, I’ll share what this has looked like for me, my clients, and how you can start redefining success — one “better” choice at a time.

 This episode kicks off a brand new 3-part series I’m calling The Transformation Series, and I am so excited to share it with you.

Here’s what to expect in the series:

• Part 1 (Today): Thinking Big — what it means to truly expand your vision and stop playing small
• Part 2 (Saturday, July 26th): Living Better, Not Perfect — a bonus episode all about releasing perfectionism
• Part 3 (Tuesday, July 29th): Intentional Joy + Purpose — how to live with more meaning in this next chapter of your body & life

This series is designed to inspire you to create your own transformation — not because everything in your life is broken (we know it’s not!), but because there’s one or two areas that deserve a serious upgrade. For many women, that’s how they take care of their body, how they talk to themselves, how they prioritize their needs — and that’s exactly what we’re diving into.

💥 Thinking Big isn’t just a mindset — it’s a skill.
In today’s episode, I talk about how to expand your beliefs about what’s possible, even when it feels uncomfortable or “too big.” 

 You’ll hear about:

• Why "just a little better" isn’t enough
• How to start imagining a bold, exciting new future — even if you don’t believe it’s possible yet
• Why your transformation might challenge what others think — and why that’s okay
• How this work ripples into every area of your life

🎉 Enrollment is Officially Open!

Today (July 22nd), enrollment opens for my signature program:
 Modern Body, Modern Life – starting this August.

This transformational group coaching experience is for women who:

• Want to feel in control of their eating, movement, and mindset
• Know they’re capable of more but need support to follow through
• Are ready to change their relationship with food, their emotions, and the promises they make to themselves

Most women lose 10–15 pounds permanently and report positive shifts in nearly every area of life — not just the scale.

This is the program that helped me stop the “start over in August” cycle. I no longer overindulge all summer just to roll into August feeling out of control. That’s the kind of transformation that’s possible.

We all have those days—or weeks—when we just don’t feel like ourselves. Whether it’s a heavy life event, shifting hormones, or a vague sense of “blah,” we can slip into a funk that throws everything off track—our eating, movement, mindset, and self-care.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what it really means to be in a funk (hint: it’s any time you're not feeling like you), and more importantly, how to pull yourself out of it with compassion and clarity. I share the exact five steps I use in my own life to get back to feeling like me, starting with identifying the sneaky thoughts and emotions that quietly take over.

You’ll learn:

• Why finding the feeling comes before changing the thought
• How to stop letting guilt or shame steal your rest and joy
• Why movement is one of the most powerful tools to shift your energy
• The mindset trick I use when I can’t quite believe a better thought (yet)
• How to still care for yourself when you don’t want to get out of a funk just yet

Whether you’re deep in a funk or just feeling a little off, this episode will give you the tools to reconnect with yourself and move forward—gently and powerfully.

The inspiration for this podcast came from a reel I saw on Instagram.  A woman was being interviewed and said "No one is going to be talking about how you look in your bathing suit at your funeral.  Drink the wine, eat the bread!"

I agree.  However, I would like to offer a different perspective, one that I believe is more accurate and empowering.

Because often, this way of thinking feels like a permission slip to surrender.

Onward!

I spent YEARS making progress on my weight loss and health goals until I had a fun event to go to, then I would derail.  Life is too short to restrict myself, right?

The problem was, I have a really great life, and fun events were popping up ALL THE TIME!

To be in the body I wanted to be in, I needed to learn how to have an amazing time at social events AND stick to my plan.

Have fun AND eat well.

This was challenging at first because I felt like any restriction was not fun.

Now I know better.  Now I know that overall is way more fun when I feel like myself in my body, and feel in control of my eating and drinking.

This is what you will learn in this episode, best of luck!

Changing your body and life starts with asking yourself some powerful questions and this one is my favorite.  Here is the question...if you keep going the way you have been going, keep living the way you have been living....Where will you be at the end of 2025?

Where will your body be, and where will your happiness be?  Where will you be in your life?

Whatever the answer, I want you to feel excited, fired up, and powerful.

You can add gas to whatever you are doing that is working, or make a big decision to create massive change.

You are capable of it.  Happy listening!

Remember when you used to make vision boards with your girlfriends long ago?

Magazines spread all over the floor, and sifting through to try to find photos of things you wanted and girls you wanted to be like?

Vision Boarding is about to get so much more powerful.

This week, I am getting ready to host a virtual Zoom Vision Boarding Workshop for the women in my June Ready for Change Group, and I wanted to give you a sneak peek into how powerful a vision board can be in your life.

My intention is that you hear one or all three of these sneaky thoughts and you realize that they have been keeping you stuck!

Brilliant!  Once you become aware of them, you have the power to decide not to listen to these thoughts.

Last week, I helped multiple clients uncover these sneaky thoughts, and I showed them how they were staying stuck because of them.

These three are truly sneaky because they don't sound that bad.  They sound like the truth.

Let's dive into the absolute truth!

Your morning routine can either help you create the body and life of your dreams or keep you right where you are.

The fact is, you already have a morning routine, but is it serving you?

What keeps many people from creating a more powerful morning routine is the belief that it has to take a long time, be complicated, and involve candles, long journaling sessions, and making your bed.  Nope.

Let's dive in, my friend!

You want both.  At all times there are 2 of you inside of you, that want drastically different things.

There is the future-focused YOU who wants weight loss, confidence, and peace. At the same time, there is also the present-focused YOU who wants the cookie, immediate pleasure, and relief from any negative emotions.

On this episode, I will teach you how to live more from the future-focused YOU.

The beautiful thing is, you can still have the cookie and reach your weight loss goals; you just need to eat less of them!
