REMINDER: Don't forget to join the zero obligation Unstuffed Interest List to reserve your spot and get access to exclusive early action bonuses. We're opening the doors to new clients on Tuesday, October 10th. Sign up for early bird notifications now.

This week, I'm excited to share the interview of Masterfull client, Mary Grochowski, on her unique experience in three of our coaching programs.

As you know, no two dieters are the same and we all have different challenges, backgrounds, habits, lifestyles, and emotional eating struggles. Mary shares her story as a former clean eater who was gaining weight to a person who has steadily been dropping pounds eating her favorites -- bread and cheese.

Topics discussed:

• Why Mary joined group coaching in the first place and why she's continued to receive guidance and support for nearly one year.
• Mary shares her biggest challenges before the program and how the program helped her kick the habit of smoking in under two weeks.
• How having a relaxed approach and embracing her role as the student has propelled her into success.
• The difference in avoiding the journaling exercises vs going all the way in on the emotional and psychological work.
• The two biggest breakthrough moments Mary experienced in the Unstuffed and Masterfull program that completely changed the game.

Thanks to Mary for bringing fun, humor and light-heartedness to the podcast without deflecting or minimizing the seriousness of the subjects we discussed. She was an incredible guest and we appreciate her sharing her unique experience in the program(s). Be sure to give this episode a listen and let us know what topics you'd like us to cover in the future.

Similar to perfection and dieting rules, cheat days also have the ability to sabotage your physique goals.

Like a kid on Christmas morning, you've been anxiously anticipating this moment for the entire week. It is, without a doubt, the stuff wet dreams are made of.

There will be Netflix binge-watching, and there will also be BBQ ribs, fries, potato salad, and homemade chocolate chip cookies. And of course, who could forget — your favorite seasonal beer.

And then as the day continues to press on, you realize you've only got a few more hours left, so you had better fill up another plate, because tomorrow is Monday and you'll be back on that chicken and broccoli grind for the next six days.

Sure, some folks can get away with the weekly cheat day and keep their caloric intake within a healthy range, but it can be a slippery slope for most.

Join Coach Steph Miramontes and I as we break down how cheat meals generally lead to disordered eating, weight gain, and all-or-nothing thinking…which just perpetuates the cycle of having to "get back on track."

This week, I'm excited to share the interview of Masterfull graduate, Emily Howe, on her unique experience in the group coaching program.

As you know, no two dieters are the same and we all have different challenges, backgrounds, habits, lifestyles, and emotional eating struggles. Emily shares her story as a former clean eater who was gaining weight, to a person who dropped 30 pounds eating all the foods she loves.

Topics discussed:

• Why Emily joined group coaching in the first place and why she returned for more support months after the program ended.
• Emily shares her biggest challenges before the program and the obstacles she overcame once she joined Masterfull.
• How being a perfectionist will stand in the way of success and what she did instead.
• The difference in doing the habits vs. going all the way in on the emotional and psychological work.
• And possibly our favorite client story yet on how Emily signed up for the program, but for her Dad. It definitely brought a smile to our faces!

Thanks again to Emily for being an incredible guest and sharing her valuable experience. Be sure to give this episode a listen and let us know what topics you'd like us to cover in the future.

Tired of waking up every Monday with the intention to "get back on track?" Don't miss our upcoming Live Training on how to break-free from the cycle of overeating and finally lose weight for good.

Register now for the Lose 5 Pounds in 30 Days by Using Psychology, Not Willpower Live Training on Wednesday, September 6th at 1pm CDT. Can't attend live? No problem, we'll be providing a 72-hour recording afterward, but you do have to register to get access to the replay.

Learning how to say no is one of the most useful skills you can develop, especially when it comes to achieving your dreams and goals.

• say no to unnecessary commitments, and you have the time you need to rest.

• say no to doom scrolling on your phone at night, and you have the energy to wake up and workout before work

• And saying no to those last 3 bites at the end of your meal can help you achieve your weight loss goals

Obviously, this begs the question: how do we avoid distraction and stop chasing instant gratification, so that we can actually do the things that are really important to us?

Individually, our responses to these little choices seem insignificant, which is why we don't make a big deal about telling ourselves that we "can't" do something. But imagine the cumulative effect of choosing more empowering words on a consistent basis.

"I can't" and "I don't" are words that seem similar and we often interchange them for one another, but psychologically they can provide very different feedback and, ultimately, result in very different actions. They aren't just words and phrases. They are affirmations of what you believe, reasons for why you do what you do, and reminders of where you want to go.

To put it simply: you can either be the victim of your words or the architect of them. Which one would you prefer?

Prior to starting my online coaching business in 2015, I was a single mom who spent 10 years working a corporate job by day while moonlighting as a personal trainer at night and on the weekends.

In February of 2017, I launched my very first group coaching program, Friends With Benefits (terrible name, I know), and my life was forever changed.

Fast forward a couple of years and I invited fellow Fit Pro, Steph Miramontes, to join my team and we quickly became known by most in the industry as THE Go-To Experts for inside out body transformations that last.

In 2019, I launched my podcast and then released my signature psychology-based weight program, Unstuffed.

All of which was created to do one simple thing: Teach people to do exactly what I was able to do myself – lose weight and keep it off without restrictive food rules, counting calories and mind-numbing cardio.

And that's exactly what we'll be talking about today.
