You've been on a diet before. And for some reason, it didn't work out for you. You fell off the wagon before you started seeing results.

This show, we talk about three reasons why that might be the case. And they might not be so obvious (motivation ISN'T one of them).

A super special guest joins me today to discuss our first ever trip to the CrossFit Games. It was obviously unreal to watch the world's best athletes compete. And while we can't relate to them on an athletic level, we did come back with some lessons that everyone can relate to.

I hope a few of these lessons resonate with you. If so, hit me up and let me know!

In Canada (and New Brunswick), our healthcare system is crumbing before our very eyes. People are dying in the waiting room. Our doctors and nurses are being pushed to their limits. And our government could certainly be doing a lot more to help.

And so can we.

We have an individual obligation to stay healthy and out of the hospital. There are too many beds being taken up by people with preventable, chronic diseases.

So I ask you, what can you do to help yourself? How can you stay healthy so you don't place a burden on the healthcare system?

It's not going to fix everything, but it certainly will help.

 We are not born with confidence. It's something that we develop over time. And, like any other skill, confidence takes practice.

There are many things you can do to build confidence:

-Practice consistency.

-Set realistic expectations.

-Celebrate wins and journal your progress.

-Get off social media.

-Focus on what you can control, including your words.

-Improve your fitness.

Building confidence is a journey. It's not something that happens overnight. But, if you're willing to put in the work, you can absolutely develop this skill and improve your resiliency.

Kaitie Brinston believes that having a growth mindset is not something you're born with. It's something you develop through practice and effort.

If you have a fixed mindset, you believe that your abilities and talents are set in stone. You're either good at something or you're not. This can lead to a feeling of helplessness, because if you're not naturally gifted at something, you may feel like there's no point in trying.

A growth mindset, on the other hand, means believing that your abilities can be developed through practice and effort. This allows you to approach challenges with a sense of optimism and confidence, knowing that you have the ability to improve.

Kaitie and I have a lengthy discussion about resiliency, belief systems, limiting words, awareness, and support systems.

This episode is jammed with tons of great information, and she leaves you with some homework.

In today's society, it seems like everyone is always complaining about something. Whether it's the weather, their job, or their spouse, people love to vent. However, while complaining may seem like a harmless way to blow off steam, it can actually have some pretty negative consequences.

For one, complaining can be contagious. Studies have shown that when people hear others complain, they are more likely to start complaining themselves. This can create a downward spiral of negativity that is hard to break out of.

In addition, complaining can also make you feel worse. When you focus on all the things that are wrong in your life, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and hopeless. This can lead to depression, anxiety, and other mental health problems.

BUT FEAR NOT! We are bringing some strategies that you can use to break the complaining cycle.
