NOURISH: Women Over 30

well well well... here we are, folks! 
In this episode, I face my perfectionism demons and talk about why it's important to just START and CHIP AWAY at something that's important to you (even if you feel rusty AF)
We also briefly discuss my thoughts on the future of this pod & what I look forward to sharing with you in the future.

In part 2 of my nutrition series all about intuitive eating with light structure, we dive into the nitty gritty details of my GPF style of eating.

In a nutshell, the GPF style of eating helps bridge the gap between restrictive diets and intuitive eating. It's a roadmap that allows you to have variety in your food choices (allowing you to intuitively choose what you eat at each meal), while still providing a framework on how to build your plate so that you feel full and satisfied (allowing you to stop thinking about food all the time).

If you haven't listened to Part 1 (episode 124), please do that first -- this episode will make a lot more sense if you do. 

In this episode, we cover:

• What GPF stands for & the benefits of choosing to adopt this style of eating 
• Five actionable steps that will help you choose healthy, filling options to put on your plate
• How to structure every meal so that you feel satisfied and content after eating
• A tangible example of how to structure a GPF meal (you can find more ideas under my "GPF" highlight on my personal Instagram) 

We dive into WAY MORE DETAIL about this topic in my book, Healthy & Happy: Find Food Freedom and Create the Body You Love!

Today's episode is part 1 of a series all about intuitive eating with light structure, also known as my GPF style of eating. 

Life is too short to spend your days consumed obsessing about food and your body. Through years of experimentation, I finally came up with a way of eating that allows me to experience true FOOD FREEDOM. 

In this episode, we discuss: 

• Bridging the gap between restrictive dieting and intuitive eating
• My thoughts about different diets, as well as intuitive eating (and why we shouldn't have to pigeon hole ourselves under one label) 
• How I'm able to make food choices based on how I want to feel (energized and healthy) while still enjoying pizza and ice cream (without guilt!)
• Finding balance in the extremes when it comes to nutrition
• A bit of my personal story and background

In part two, we'll chat all about the logistics around my GPF style of eating, like how to structure every meal to feel full, satisfied and content (and stop obsessing about when/what your next meal is).

I highly encourage you to listen to this episode FIRST... don't skip it! This lays the foundation for all the practical things we'll discuss in part 2.

I hope this episode, and the ones to come, save you from YEARS of struggle with food and your body. If I can help you bypass the hardship I went through, I would absolutely love to -- and it all starts with this episode.

Let's be honest for a minute: how many times have you set a goal or New Years resolution, only to give up and feel like you failed yourself? 

In today's episode, we discuss:

•  a mindset reframe that will help you focus on the EFFORT vs. the OUTCOME and feel more fulfilled by the goals you set
• a question to ask yourself in the morning & at night to make sure you're on track to reach your goals 
• something to think about: is this action or mindset helping me to become the type of person I want to become?
• my word of the year for 2023 & how I'm applying it

This episode was inspired by a story @_lisaolivera 's Instagram story today, titled "A Reminder to Creatives of All Kind" 

I will share the screenshot of her story in a full blog post so you can read it, and I also read it aloud in the episode. Then, I share my own personal story about: 

• the history of my career & entrepreneurial journey
• why it's important to validate yourself and not wait for an outside person/accomplishment/achievement to validate you
• what REALLY happened after my book launch & journey into motherhood (and why it led me to take a long break from work)
• the maaaaajor imposter syndrome & self doubt I've experienced in the past year
• why it's ok for you to make a living doing what you love -- AND it's also ok to create just for the heck of it
• what ART actually is (hint: it's not just painting and drawing)
• an inspirational note that we ALL could use about creating more art in our lives

I LOVE when I get to see a behind-the-scenes look into someone's creative process, business, and how they create art, so I decided to share my story today in hopes that you'll get to know me on a bit more personal/vulnerable note. :)

I really hope you enjoy hearing Lisa's inspirational reminder, as well as my own evolution as a creative + business owner.

Nothing makes you appreciate your health more than when you're not well, am I right?
While I was recently down and out with a cold, I was doing some reflecting about what wellness means to me. 
Turns out, wellness goes BEYOND just what we eat: it's the movement we do, our social circle, what types of media we consume, and so much more.
In this episode, we dive into:

• What it means to take a HOLISTIC approach to wellness
• Getting radically honest with yourself about your wellness habits (or lack thereof) 
• Getting out of your own way to make big changes in your life
• My wellness shots that I swear by 

I hope you walk away with this episode being able to define what wellness means to you, and create an action plan to start living a healthier & happier life :)

If you're sick of hopping on and off the bandwagon in your health and wellness journey, this episode is for you.

In part 1 of the starting over series, we talked about a reframe for starting over -- and how to stop feeling guilty when we need to restart in any area of our lives. 

In this episode (part 2), we're chatting all about:

• The reason you need to keep starting over in the first place
• Why YOU are not the problem at all -- spoiler: there's nothing wrong with you!
• How to shift your energy from guilt and shame, to intention and action
• Exactly where to start TODAY if you are starting over in your wellness journey 
• My five pillars of wellness and how to set tangible goals in each category (with specific examples)
• How to build confidence if you've felt like a failure for needing to start over again (even after multiple failed dieting attempts) 

I even give you my 3 staple GPF breakfasts that I rotate between on a daily basis!
If you're ready to create your healthiest, happiest life -- this episode is definitely one you'll want to listen to.

We’ve ALL had to start over at something in our lives.

Whether it’s a relationship ending, a choice to take a different path in your career, or the opportunity to start over again in your health and fitness journey… we’ve ALL been in a position where something has ended and we choose to start again.

Rather than guilting and shaming ourselves for the ending, what if we reframed the way we looked at starting over?

What if we could see starting over as an opportunity to learn more and do better this time around?

In this episode, we chat about how to reframe starting over — allowing yourself to move past the guilt & shame, and instead, use that energy for something productive that will propel you to new heights.

When I was eating healthy purely to change the way my body looked, it felt like I kept hitting a dead end. I was frustrated and overwhelmed, and no matter how strict I was, my body wasn't changing.

When I started to eat based on the principle I share in this episode, it felt like I unlocked a new level of success. I had more energy, more mental clarity, my mood improved, and I was actually enjoying the way I was eating.

THIS is how I found the middle ground between not giving a shiz about my health, to being waaay to obsessed with healthy living -- both of which robbed my joy and peace.

In this episode, I share various comments I've received when I've shared photos of my body on social media: before I got pregnant, during pregnancy, and postpartum.  

We chat about:

• how well-intentioned comments about someone's body can actually be harmful 
• how, as women, our bodies change for MANY reasons over our lifetime: some of which is out of our control
• why it's important to find ways to compliment women on things other than their body
• why we shouldn't only be allowed to feel confident about our stretch marks/cellulite if we've had a baby (or any other reason to "justify" the changes in our body)
• learning to accept our bodies in ALL seasons and for ALL reasons!

I just wanted to share my thoughts candidly in this episode, and I hope this conversation can help shift the narrative about body confidence and acceptance.
