On today’s episode, I chat with Kathleen Cameron. Kathleen is a highly successful mindset coach who has broken records within the Proctor Gallagher Institute and empowers women to love the truest version of themselves. Starting her career off as a nurse for many years, Kathleen always knew she wanted more. With her new-found mindset practises and daily habits, her success has skyrocketed over the last year! She is excited to share on this episode exactly how she made her dreams a reality so that you can too! On this episode we dive into: How to overcome having a negative body image of yourself.Not taking on negative energy from others. How to stay motivated towards your goals and gain self-love.Letting go of having a negative self-image (hint: one of the key ways to reach have success!) How to get to where you want to be through routine and repetition.How Kathleen got to where she is today as a coach.The take-home: Kathleen credits her path to success to her strong desire. This desire combined with getting clear on what she really wanted for her future allowed her to let go of her negative self-image and step into the woman she is today. She is now a highly successful mindset coach to over 188 clients, but she didn’t always hold this standard of herself. Getting a coach to help keep you accountable to the things you say you want to achieve is one of the quickest ways to reach your goals. To get to where you want to be, you must first let go of your fears; and what you fear most, is often the thing you need. She also stresses that your current way of thinking creates your reality. “Working on yourself never ends.” she says. “Stop worrying about what people think of you, let go of your limiting beliefs, and ask yourself what do you want to think of you? You can be any version of yourself you choose to be.” It starts with making a committed decision and you will find true happiness.Get in touch with with Kathleen Cameron: Business Instagram: @kathleencameron_formygirls Website: https://www.diamondacademy.ca

The most common question I get asked by you guys is: How do I increase my energy? So in today’s episode, I’m sharing my four best tips on how to increase your energy and thus, build on your successes! First things first: Why it’s important to understand energy and shift it when it’s low. In short, when our energy levels are low, it’s hard to be in the right mindset to do the things we really want to do - and typically, those are the things we must do to help move us towards our goals. Increased energy, increased productivity, better results. Simple as that. On this episode we dive into: The truth about who we become when we’re in a low energy stateWhat optimal energy does for your body and mind and how it’s the catalyst to help build your success.My four tips for increasing your energy:Mindset: Paying attention to what words you’re using in self-talk, and also, how you talk to others. Are you using limiting phrases or negative words in your day to day life? The story you’re telling yourself will ultimately become your reality. So instead, try to shift this by affirming what you want instead of replaying how you currently feel. Eat for Energy: Food IS energy. Start increasing the nutrient value of the things you are consuming. Think: what are things you can ADD into your life (instead of focusing on what to eliminate). Move your Body: Every single day. And especially when you feel like you have low energy! Do this in whatever way feels best for you, just get out there and #muve! Laugh and lighten the mood: Stop taking yourself so seriously all the time. Change things up and be silly! Focus on something other than the unknowns and the sad things in life, because this can certainly be all-consuming of our energy supplies! The take-home: Low energy is one of the first signs that something in your body and mind is off; that something needs to change. And it’s up to you to decide to make a change. If you’re the type of person that has all the intentions of following these tips - and most importantly - you are READY to make changes in your life but always seem to get off track when you start, then maybe it’s time you ask for help. I’ve created a free private Facebook group (linked here and below) where I teach you how to create more energy in your life and more importantly, I hold you accountable and keep you motivated to actually make those changes and get there once and for all. We also dive into how to make healthier food choices, amplify your health, and build upon your successes. Because we all know that when we feel good, we have more confidence to succeed in all the areas of our lives. It’s time to stop beating yourself up about trying and then falling off track. It doesn’t have to be hard, and your support system is right in front of you! Let me show you how I can help keep you accountable to your goals. After all, when you’re not wasting your time and energy on thinking about what you need to be doing to improve your healthy habits, you can finally focus on all the other wonderful things in your life and get your goals once and for all!

On today’s episode, I’m chatting with Quinton Jacobs. My first run-in with Quinton was when he gave me a gift card in Lululemon, which demonstrates his pay-it-forward attitude. Quinton is a Lululemon ambassador and fuel technician who is very involved in the community and just an all-around incredible human being! He is also the father of three children and always strives to see the positive in any situation that comes his way - he truly lives to serve others and make an impact in their lives. He is a special human and I know today’s episode will give you all the feels as it did for me - have a listen!On this episode we dive into: Serving your children in a way that allows them to appreciate what they have, but also changing the narrative of their future, from that of your past. Choose “your core people” wisely and then support the heck out of them them - and also, let them support you. What encouraged Quinton to want to help others and be highly involved in the community.How to look at the positives in any situation to help benefit your future.Making an impact on people’s lives without sharing it or knowing it.How to find balance when you feel like you’re ready to take on more.Overcoming hard times in your life with a new perspective. The take-home: It feels good to give back. Quinton believes strongly in having a pay-it-forward mindset. During these difficult times especially, as people navigate through the heaviness of a new way of living, he believes that if you can just make one person smile - it’s the gift that keeps on giving. He strongly believes in leaving people better than you found them because you just never know what they are going through. It can be difficult to get involved right now due to the current social distancing rules, but you can still find ways to make huge impacts on people’s lives even if it may seem small. “Don’t let this pandemic hold you back from what you’re passionate about,” he shares. “We need to appreciate everyone navigating through these times in their own headspace. Be concrete with your why. If your ideas are grounded in purpose, then it’s meant to happen.”Get in touch with with Quinton: Business Instagram: @quinton_jacobs

The month of September notoriously means changes and shifts; and this year, is no exception. It’s easy to get caught up in new routines and less daylight, and “hibernate” through the winter months. You know the drill, slipping into those big comfy sweaters and letting go of our healthy habits such as daily movement or nourishing our bodies with the nutrients it so desperately needs to thrive. Today I’m diving into the things you can be doing to keep you on track this Fall and ENJOY the balance of living a healthy lifestyle. On this episode we dive into: Why living a healthy lifestyle is important for our well-being, both physically and mentally. Knowing how to live a healthy lifestyle, but not acting on it … and how to break this pattern! Understanding that healthy living doesn’t have to be hard! What WILL work for you … (hint: consistency)And then … how to break the habit of falling out of consistent habits … BEFORE falling out of them!How you can make “healthy” work for you. Deciding to stay committed to your goals and to show up for who you truly want to be.The take-home: Consistency is truly the key to just about everything in life. Keep checking in with yourself on the things that are most important to you. No matter your current goals, ask yourself if you could be adding in more you time - or more water - or more rest - or more vitamins - or more movement … this list goes on! Do your best to tune in and figure out what your body needs in each season of life; because there is a reason for all of those things! So if you’re sitting there thinking about already throwing in the towel until next spring - DON’T!! I’m here to tell you that you’ve got this. I’ve been there, I get it!! But trust me when I say: it is a lot easier to live healthy than it is to live unhealthily. What I wish for you this Fall instead is this: Cozy up by the fire in your oversized sweater with your favourite hot drink and enjoy every moment of it! But also, set aside even 15 minutes each day for yourself to take in the gorgeous colours of the season, to breathe in the crisp fall air, to move your body, and to just enjoy your life. If you’re ready to be held accountable to a consistent routine that works for you, reach out to me! Get in touch with Michelle: MUVE FORWARD Wellness Program for Female Hustlers: https://www.muvelife.com/the-muvementMUVE FORWARD Website: https://www.muvelife.comINSTAGRAM: @muvelife EMAIL: [email protected]—I am now working with one of my favourite brands, Puratae!

Getting clear on what you really want in life is no easy feat. After all, when you don’t know what you want, where are you supposed to begin to figure out what that thing is!!On today’s episode I’m diving into my step-by-step simple process to start breaking down any barriers currently in your way of getting clear on who you want to be, what type of lifestyle you want to live, and what type of relationships you want to have.On this episode we dive into: My simple step-by-step process to start getting clear!Give yourself time to be quiet and let go of the distractions. Ask out-loud for what you want, unapologetically! Removing extra baggage; people, things; etc to release negative energy and create more space for positive things. Think about what lights you up, what excites you, what energizes you and inspires you! Where do you spend your time researching or questioning? What are you curious about and what do you want to know more about? Follow your intuition. What are you daydreaming about? Believe that doing these things will work for you, and be consistent.Pay attention to the voice inside your head, is it serving you or holding you back? Where and when do your limiting beliefs creep in for you - and how this ultimately keeps you from getting clear. Changing your thought patterns through positive affirmations.The take-home: The truth is, you can have it all. But when we’re not clear with what’s happening in our surroundings and our minds, it creates anxiety and stress which ultimately hold us back from being able to see and then achieve the things we most desire in life. Practise perseverance and consistency to work through whatever is limiting you or holding you back. Continue to be curious about what you want in this life and never stop going for everything you want to achieve! Life can be short, but we truly can have and be whoever it is that we want to be!

Today’s episode comes from a place of being ready to hit the reset button. Can you relate, warriors? The reality is, it’s been a long six months and I think we’re all ready for some ‘normality’ to move back into our lives! So if you’re ready to feel re-inspired, pick yourself up from a low energy space, and get back to feeling like you, then you’re going to want to have a listen to today’s episode!On this episode we dive into: Reeling it back in during hard times and asking yourself, what is the lesson here?Being proactive instead of reactive.The root causes of anxiousness and worry. Navigating heavy feelings and emotions with clarity and ease. Accepting help and leaning on others when we’re in need. How to set yourself up for success if a stressful situation is coming up! The take-home: There is always a lesson to be learned, even if we can’t see it at the very moment it’s happening. The trick is to have faith in the power that we cannot physically see, and ask that power to give you the outcome you wish to receive. If you can see it in your mind - and truly believe that it can become your reality - then by law, it will become your reality. Release your built-up energy through journaling, prayer, movement, talking with someone you trust, and then once you’ve released some of that energy, get quiet with yourself for a moment. Use this quiet space to get clear on what you truly want for the situation - and your life in general. You hold the power to move through the hard times with either ease or struggle. So if you’re currently feeling anxious or worried - or scared about the unknown, know that you have the choice to NOT feel this way. It is UP TO YOU to choose your path! Continue to push forward to get control of your life and if that’s not working, go find someone in your life that is in need and serve them. This is the quickest way to shift your energy warriors, so, who are you going to serve today?Get in touch with Michelle: MUVE FORWARD Wellness Program for Female Hustlers: https://www.muvelife.com/the-muvementMUVE FORWARD Website: https://www.muvelife.comINSTAGRAM: @muvelife EMAIL: [email protected] am now working with one of my favourite brands, Puratae!

Today, I had the pleasure of speaking with Gillian Small. Gillian is a transformational Life Coach, Quantum EFT Practitioner, Intuitive Reiki Master, Yoga Instructor, Writer, and Author. Gillian has been studying and practicing tapping for four years, and working with clients for the past three years. She did her training through the National Emotional Freedom Techniques Training Institute (NeftTI).Gillian went through a time in her life where she was having severe troubles with managing her anxiety and was also having frequent panic attacks. She discusses how every type of trauma we experience is linked back to our childhood or something that hasn’t yet been resolved or worked through. She has been able to get through her own anxiety and panic attacks through Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). EFT, also known as tapping, is a unique process of tapping into past lives with the intention of identifying and releasing negative experiences that could be contributing to your current life struggles or challenges. Tapping is safe, quick, and ultimately uncovers the beliefs you would rather feel about yourself. Gillian believes in and fully understands the restorative and transformative benefits of tapping and aspires to help clients let go of emotional stress that is holding them back using these techniques.On this episode we dive into: Where Gillian’s passion to help others comes from.How to cope with the “busyness” of life.Her Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) to deal with stress and emotion.The importance of loving yourself and letting go.The signs that show you may be holding onto past emotional trauma.The take-home: Life can be a roller coaster of emotions. How we deal with those emotions is something a lot of people try to avoid. One of the most important things we can do to reach our best sense of self is to do the inner work, first. The inner work ultimately projects on our outside world and thus, our results. Through the process of EFT and tapping, emotions can shift very quickly; and the key is tapping through the emotions as they are felt to then shift them to new feelings. It is so important to allow each other to show emotion, process it, and then start moving forward. Everything is aligned and timed as is it meant to be. Know that your anxiety is not forever, it’s temporary. Nobody has to live with pain and suffering — there are powerful techniques to get through them. Gillian states that, “If I can get through it, anybody can.” She strives to allow clients to see that there is peace and freedom on the other side.

So this week, I was called out on my bullshit. It was just the push I needed from my Coach to make me realize that although I may think I am doing everything to achieve my goals, I am not truly doing everything. So before we dive into today’s episode, I want you to take a deep breath and have an open mind, because I really want you to get honest with yourself today! Are you really doing everything in your power to achieve that thing? Or are you just convincing yourself that you’re doing all you can, but magically, you're still not seeing results? I call bulls**t!! Here’s the thing. If you were truly doing everything in your power to achieve your goals, you would be achieving your goals. That’s the simplest way to put it.On today’s episode, I give you tangible step-by-step SIMPLE tasks to actually start moving your desires into physical form. So if you’re ready to start making real shifts in your life, step one is to listen to today’s episode! On this episode we dive into: Ask yourself: So what is it that you want in your life? Who do you want to become? And what is one actionable thing you can do today to move towards achieving this? A huge piece of getting there is to ACT, but it begins with your desire to act. Are you really doing everything in your power to achieve the thing you want so badly?Stop making excuses in your mind that you’re doing *everything* you can, and get honest with yourself! When you get honest with yourself, you can really start making moves! How important it is to have like-minded people in your corner to achieve your goals.Focusing on one desire at a time and putting one foot in front of the other each day to move this desire into reality. A simple task I’m challenging you to do RIGHT NOW to manifest real movement towards within the next hour after listening to this episode! The take-home: Taking action is so powerful. You will be amazed at what will start to flow your way when you start releasing energy; the people you will meet and the wins you will experience.

On today’s episode, I chat with Kate Van Buskirk. Kate is a 2-time Canadian Champion, former Canadian record holder, and has represented Canada on 10 international teams. Kate discusses how she has adapted to the new normal throughout the pandemic, and how it has affected her. We discuss the impact COVID-19 has had on athletes and what the future of sporting events is going to look like, virtually. Now a veteran of the sport, Kate has diversified her interests and commitments over the past years. These include sitting as an Athletics Canada Board Member in the role of Female Athlete Representative; hosting and producing The Shakeout Podcast with Canadian Running Magazine; acting as an ambassador for Fast and Female; and working with Canada Running Series in broadcast and other media roles. On this episode we dive into: Tips on how to start for new runners and avoiding injuries along the way.What she has found has helped her stay connected to her love of running and motivated to keep going throughout this pandemic. The adaption of races in these times and the rise of virtual events.Her work with different foundations, specifically “Fast and Female.”The importance of lifting other females up and how physical activity shouldn’t be looked at as punishment, but instead a reward.How to build a routine that is sustainable and learning how to move your body in different ways.The take-home: Kate Van Buskirk continues to amaze me with her drive, motivation, and energy. As COVID-19 changed everyone’s life, Kate was forced to adapt as an athlete in so many ways. She recognizes that one should make light of the circumstances and stresses the importance of a routine that is sustainable for you. Kate believes that keeping a motivation to be active in females is extremely important and aspires to promote a life long passion for movement in females at any age. She aspires to encourage females to stay healthy and active in sport, and prides herself in witnessing the positive impact this will have in life and beyond. Females should feel good in their bodies and develop competition in the right way towards one another. Girls are often extremely competitive and it’s not healthy, and it’s time we let go and support women and be active together. Let’s help each other and lift each other up, rather than put each other down. We must normalize stories of failure and struggle, and learn from someone’s story who has reached a point of success that we all look up to. During this pandemic, everyone has been effected in their own way. Kate stresses the importance of being gentle and kind with yourself and how beneficial having a community to reach out to with genuine supporters is. In these times, what you put out there is what you are going to get back.Get in touch with with Kate : Business Instagram: @K8vbeastConnect with Michelle:@muvelifehttps://calendly.com/muvelife/introcall

On today’s episode I’m talking about working through the big feelings we’re all experiencing about the upcoming school year, and how to work through these. First off, there have been many times in my life where I was scared to move forward because I thought that if I made a decision, that would have to be how it remained - so know that you’re not alone in these feelings. But in reality, you have the power and the freedom to make at change at any time - about any choice you make! And this school year is no different. No matter what decision you make for September with regards to your children’s care or education, know that your intuition is guiding you to make the right choice at that moment for your family - and if the time comes where that decision needs to be shifted, this is valid!! Be prepared, to be unprepared.On this episode we dive into: Moving through the (many) outside opinions from friends or family about our decisions. Normalizing our fears and uncertainty of what’s to come. Positive daily habits to start incorporating in your child’s life to support them and validate their feelings. Creating a solid plan to support your child through their big feelings or when uncomfortable situations arise for them (and then clearly communicating this plan with them). Finding coping mechanisms for everyone in your home. The take-home: Feelings of fear and uncertainly about how this Fall is going to play out are (more than) normal to be experiencing right now. But know that you also don’t have to sit in these feelings for too long. Although it’s healthy to feel them and acknowledge them, it’s also a good practise move past them. Not just for ourselves as we navigate this time, but also for our littles. Know that you can assess and change your decision at any time, so use this as your security blanket. No one can truly know the right decision to make right now, but we’re all just doing our best to survive through it. So be kind to one another, and trust your judgment.
