Today I’m chatting with Lauren Neuburger, a holistic nutritionist who specializes in holistic breast cancer prevention. Lauren was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was just 26 years old. This diagnosis was the catalyst for change for the rest of her life. She turned her pain into purpose by leaving her career in accounting and founded her company Nutritious Delicious Life; where she teaches her clients the exact strategies she uses in her own breast cancer prevention methods. She’s living proof that the holistic approach she implements has a tremendous impact on overall health and quality of life.Her signature online group coaching program, Breast Cancer Thriver, has reached women all over the world. Lauren believes whole-heartedly that life after breast cancer can be some of the best years of your life. She doesn’t want you to only survive but empowers you to take charge of your health to truly thrive.On this episode we dive into:How your energetic state impacts your health.Physical imbalances caused by negative thought patterns.Understanding where your belief systems are engrained and how you can shift them.How meditation changes your brain waves to shift patterns in your mind.Showing up for yourself daily.Ways to support your body that connect with you. Natural and holistic cancer care in addition to conventional treatment methods.What you need to address on a healing journey to become free.Active versus passive treatment for disease (i.e cancer)Breaking the cycle of living in fear and anxiety.How to move past the fear of recurrence.Healing while integrating instead of disconnecting.The crippling effects of binge eating and how to break this vicious cycle.Laurens holistic breast cancer program and how she works with clients on their cancer journey: This 12-week program takes you from surviving to thriving; from passive treatment to active prevention. She addresses all areas of holistic health and then helps you tackle your deep-seated belief system to grow through it - and that's when you can get out of the fear of recurrence weighing on your mind.Mitigating side effects of conventional treatment by also working with a holistic practitioner to help support your body through conventional treatments.Note that: Your oncologist always has the final say of what you're doing with regards to cancer treatments **The take-home: Life is not about pain and struggle - life is about joy and fulfillment. To start moving forward or feeling better on any journey you are on, you must ask for help! Lauren suggests working with a coach no matter what type of struggle you are going through - because no one should have to do it alone.If you are on your journey with cancer, know that it is possible to be free. Free from fear of recurrence and pain. You never know how much you are capable of until you tap into your subconscious mind and change the story inside your head. Physical problems are caused by a deep-seated negative belief system. Know that there is a solution for your pain, you just have to believe it's possible. You don’t want to go back to your old self pre-cancer, but rather move forward in a way that honours your new body and your new belief system!Get in touch with Lauren: Website: https://www.nutritiousdeliciouslife.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nutritious_delicious_life/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NutritiousDeliciousLife/Watch the Movie “Heal” on Netflix: https://www.netflix.com/ca/title/80220013 Radical Remission Book: https://radicalremission.com/about/the-book/ Name/ Instagram of Lauren’s Binge Eating Coach: Brittany Brown @beating_binge_eating

As I was listening to @loriharder’s 𝘌𝘢𝘳𝘯 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘏𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘺 𝘗𝘰𝘥𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘵 earlier this week, I experienced an eye-opening moment which I felt compelled to share with all of you! She interviewed David Neagle in episode #556, and he shared what you can expect to be your reality while growing and making shifts in your life. I began to tap into my own thought patterns as of late, and I noticed that there are many areas of my life where I’m limiting myself - so then I dove in to see why this was happening for me through journaling and meditation. On this episode we dive into: Growth will always come with challenges, discomfort, and opposition. As you continue on your growth journey, it becomes easier to push through the limiting beliefs. When you make a change in your life, expect to feel uncomfortable; physically, mentally, and emotionally. If it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you. The challenges surrounding starting a new venture and how to navigate these (such as: managing your time, dealing with the stress of a new path in general, others questioning you for what you are doing, etc.)Preparing for opposition as you are on your journey to keep a clear mind and to continue to forge ahead!Rising above mediocrity. The take-home: The negative thoughts your mind may continue to replay about why you shouldn’t dive into something new are just that - thoughts. The reality is, if you’re diving into something new, challenges are GOING to arise. Instead, choose to pay attention to what you need to keep you on track - but don’t give up and stop your path! Don’t let your mind hold you back and keep you playing small. You were meant to play BIG, warrior!

On today’s episode, I want to address something that many of us desire to have, yet struggle to implement; boundaries. Boundaries are limits we put in place to create space and comfort between us and another individual and their purpose is to protect and care for your mental well-being. To create a life you truly love and enjoy, it’s important to have, set, and stick to boundaries. Without them, we can quickly fall off course and start blaming ourselves for unnecessary things and thus create more stress in our life. On this episode we dive into: What the purpose of setting a boundary is.How to define a boundary, communicate the boundary, and then stick to the boundary. The consequences of not adhering to those boundaries.How to work towards finding balance and fully understanding what your boundaries are and where they came from.How to ensure your boundaries are met and understood by those you communicate them with. How to speak to someone when they have crossed one of your boundaries. Resentment following saying “yes” when you really wanted (or needed) to say no.Practicing self-awareness to identify what needs you have that are not being met and then queue in: setting a new boundary! The take-home: Tune into your feelings, identify what feelings you’re having, and then name it out loud so that you can set and communicate the boundary properly. No one is going to make the changes for you. So it’s up to you to uphold the boundaries you set. Without boundaries, your mental and emotional state will inevitably be compromised and thus you won’t be able to show up as your best self for you or for those you love. Practice self-awareness and make self-care a priority. Seek support from those you love and trust. Lastly, NEVER feel sorry for saying NO!

Do you ever feel like your life is always hectic, and full of anxiety and stress? That it’s just “Who you are,” and “It’s how it’s going to be” … can I get a “Girl, that’s totally me … ” from all the people in the back? I’ll start. Because that person was for sure me! 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️But! I’ve been working hard to change that narrative. To change my day-to-day need of achieving perfection, to one of stepping back and enjoying the journey to get there. 𝙏𝙤 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙢𝙮 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚.

On this episode we dive into: The draining feeling of striving for perfection by hustling day in and day out - and at the end of that busy day, are you truly even happy? Stepping away from the need to do all of the things and be all of the people - and instead, enjoying the journey to get to where you want to be. Creating the life we truly desire through the power of positive language and ease.Carefully choosing your words because they are powerful. Taking the time to do the things you love doing - and slowing down to enjoy the moment when you’re finally doing them! Become a “YES!” person! Letting go of negative thought patterns to feel lighter. Allowing Devine guidance to bring you what you need in each moment. The take-home: Do the work that needs to be done to let go of the blocks and stressors in your life.

If you can do this, you will quickly find that the flood gates will open and all that you desire will start to flow to you with ease.

Have you ever gotten to a stage in your life where you looked back and thought, “wow, if I had only known that before this would have been so much easier!” This is common, and has likely happened to us all at one point or another, but the important thing to remember is that these lessons come with time and we learn them exactly when we are meant to! Because I love to share my passion for living a healthy and happy life with others, in today’s episode, I’m sharing the things I wish my younger self would have known!On this episode we dive into: 1. Storms pass so hang in there: hard times coming your way in life is inevitable, but always remember that through each storm is a lesson you’re meant to learn to help you grow. 2. Be grateful for every day that you have: you truly never know when it’s going to be your last. 3. Don’t take criticism from people you wouldn’t go to for advice: especially from social media!! 4. Let go of anger and grudges: this is unnecessary stress on your body that can cause long term harm if left unresolved! 5. No one will believe in you if you don’t believe in yourself: you know that old saying, ‘fake it til’ you make it’ - do it! Even if you don’t truly believe in yourself right now, the more you act like you do, the quicker your mind and thoughts will eventually match up to this vision! 6. Be careful what you wish for: your words are strong, and they can speak into existence - so just be mindful of this! 7. Know what you want: so that you can manifest those desires more quickly. 8. Focus on the good in every situation: what you focus on, is ultimately more of what will come into your life. If you focus on the good for example, you will attract more good!9. Happiness is a choice: What can you do that would bring you joy right now? Go do that! 10. Your health is more fragile than you think: give your body the love that it so desperately wants and deserves.11. Most of the things you fear in life, usually never happen: don’t waste your time worrying about the things you do not have control over. 12. Work smarter not harder: instead, get creative and find ways that you can grow without completely exhausting yourself in the process.The take-home: Pay attention to the things that fill you with joy, and to the lessons that are meant to be learned through a challenging time in your life. We only have one life to live (as far as we know), so live a little easier and life will go easy on you.

In today’s episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Vanessa Rempel, a proud wife and mama of three, a successful career woman, and a fighter. She inspires women all around the world by sharing her story and other women’s stories of their trials and tribulations in hopes of helping to change other people’s lives through connection and understanding. Vanessa lost her mom to Cancer in 1987 when she was just 11 years old. Her father was not present in her life at the time, and she was placed in a home with distant family members to be her care takers, who were neither supportive nor kind. When she turned 16, she was legally allowed to leave their care, and so she did. Vanessa has an incredible story of how she preserved through this time on her own and then growing her career single-handedly with her inspiring drive and passion - you don’t want to miss it!On this episode we dive into: Using specific memories or moments in your life to propel you through a hard time. Using creative outlets to feel better.Turning your passion in life into a career - and how you can start doing this today! How to tap into your own local market for business.How important it is to be in unity with those you surround yourself with and then using this energy to further uplift them and yourself. Letting go of the feeling of embarrassment and shame about your story.Why it’s important to share our stories so that future generations will have a better understanding of not feeling alone or avoiding/ diving into a certain path.The take-home: If you are ready for a change in your life, here’s what Vanessa wants you to know: “JUST BEGIN. Get out of your head and start DOING. Looking for the people that are already at the place you dream to be. How did they get there? What was their path? And then figure out what your path would look like, and just start. It’s so easy to destroy the plans in your mind before you even do anything about them because we are all so critical of ourselves. You have to put yourself out there and take chances. There is no reason why someone else can succeed at the thing that you want, and you can’t. You can do anything. Anything is possible and ANYBODY can achieve anything. Cut through the fear and go for it.”Get in touch with Vanessa: Website: https://www.herstoriesco.comInstagram, Tik-Tok, Twitter: @herstoriescoBe sure to submit a review for The Move Forward Podcast before the end of June to be entered to win a $100 gift card to Cup of Te!

We are currently in the middle of many life-altering circumstances. This looks different for everyone, but regardless of the changes in your life that you are personally experiencing right now, they are big - and they are sure to leave a mark on you forever. For me, I kept coming back to what I truly believe in … we are meant to grow and learn - and ultimately evolve into greater human beings. On this episode we dive into: Seeking the right answers for yourself so that you know how your body is needing you to respond right now. How the things we say to ourselves are the things we will ultimately manifest (**note: whether these words are positive or negative - you will get more of the same.)Changing your narratives and the way your mind views things so that you begin to shift your outcomes. Ensuring that you keep tuning in to your core values during this time so you can shine your light in a way that truly shows who you are and what messages you want to send and receive. The take-home: Focus on what you need to be your best self. Change your narrative. Be grateful for something … anything, each and every day. For taking a breath. For having a beating heart. For having lungs that are keeping you alive. You have the power to create your life and to help make a positive change, so believe that to be true. When we use our voices for good to make a positive change and when we put out thoughts towards those things - we have the opportunity to make these things reality.

I had a very open discussion this week with one of my closest friends, Taylor Lindsay-Noel (@taylorln). Taylor is a member of the black community. We’ve been friends for over 8 years and NEVER had this conversation before. Let me be clear before I dive into this. I am a white woman and I want to get it right this time. I want to be more educated and more open to learning how I can actually help to make change happen. I’ll be honest, I was surprised when I woke up Tuesday morning and saw #blackouttuesday trending. I immediately reached out to Taylor and we recorded this episode shortly after. This conversation is raw, real, and hard. But it's important and it’s so valuable. Please, if you’re looking for more education on this topic, let’s listen to the voices that are desperately trying to be heard. On this episode we dive into: What defines a racist.What is white privilege.The real meaning behind the “black square” on your Instagram feed which we saw trending this Tuesday.The difference between the statement “all lives matter,” and “black lives matter.”How we can work to change the narrative in people’s minds.Things we can do to be better right now.Being wary of the micro-aggressions we are putting out there.A few examples of things that people in the black community face day to day as their normal way of living (how they’re treated, the things they have to be extra cautious about, etc.)The take-home: Important closing words from Taylor, “We need help. Because your voices (white voices) are statistically and historically way more valuable and louder than ours. We need your voices right now to help put out the fires in the black community. We’ve been friends for several years and we’ve never ever even talked about this before - but it shows even the closest of friends tip-toe around the subject - because it's awkward. But you have to get through awkward to make real change. We need your voices to help educate others and to make real change for the future. Humble yourself to know what you don’t know. Ask questions. And BE KIND. Having these conversations is a good place to start. This conversation needs to start here, but not end here.”Organizations/ accounts where people can donate and be educated:@[email protected]@Blackwomeninmotion or visit their website: https://blackwomeninmotion.org/our-storyGet in touch with Taylor Lindsay-Noel: Website: https://cupofte.comInstagram: @taylorlnListen to others episodes of the Move Forward Podcast featuring Taylor:Episode # 3: Sipping Tea With Taylor Lindsay-Noel: Sharing Her Struggles After Breaking Her NeckEpisode # 49: Getting Real With Body Image And Taylor Lindsay - Noel
