In this episode, we dive into the fascinating history and psychology behind New Year’s resolutions, exploring why this age-old tradition continues to inspire millions each year. While nearly 40% of adults set resolutions, only about 9% manage to keep them for the entire year. Why is that? We’ll break down the science of success, from the power of setting approach-oriented goals to the benefits of having a "resolution buddy" for accountability.

We’ll also discuss the most common pitfalls, like setting unrealistic goals or relying on willpower alone, and share practical strategies to beat the odds. Whether your focus is fitness, nutrition, or personal growth, this episode will help you start the new year strong and stay on track. Tune in for actionable tips to turn your resolutions into lasting habits!

In this episode of the Resilient Humans Podcast, I had the pleasure of chatting with Scarlett Stanhope, also known as The Biz Hippie. Scarlett is an abundance coach who works with coaches, entrepreneurs, and healers to help them redefine their relationship with money, align their finances with their goals, and embrace a life of empowerment and abundance.

This was an exciting conversation because it marked the first time we’ve explored financial resilience on the podcast. Scarlett opened up about her journey from being a perfectionist and corporate workaholic to finding her own path of fulfillment and purpose. Her story of hitting rock bottom and building herself back up is inspiring and packed with actionable insights.

Scarlett’s Journey to Abundance:

• From burnout in restaurant management to creating a life and career that aligns with her values.
• How redefining success helped her break free from societal expectations and embrace her authentic self.

The Foundations of Financial Resilience:

• Tackling scarcity mindsets, beliefs about worthiness, and the “starving artist syndrome.”
• Why financial resilience is about both mindset (soft skills) and management (hard skills).

Practical Money Strategies:

• The concept of “Blueprinting” finances instead of restrictive budgeting.
• How to align spending with your vision and turn every expense into an intentional step toward your goals.

Resilience in Practice:

• Scarlett’s perspective on progress: embracing the highs and lows as part of growth.
• Tips for shifting your mindset to see challenges as opportunities for learning and expansion.

Scarlett’s Empowered Abundance Program:

• A six-month coaching container focused on transforming your relationship with money and creating financial freedom.

In this episode of the Resilient Humans Podcast, 

I had the privilege of sitting down with the incredible Beth Ann, a transformational coach and speaker whose story is a true testament to Resilience. Beth has faced profound challenges, including experiences with sexual violence, addiction, and PTSD, and has come out the other side with a mission to help others reconnect with themselves and reclaim their power.

We dive into the importance of community and how building connections can be a transformative experience. 

Beth shares how stepping into spaces of vulnerability, like joining a community song circle, helped her heal and thrive.

 We explore the loneliness epidemic, the challenges of individualism in today’s world, and how fostering deep human connections can make all the difference.

One of the most impactful parts of our conversation was hearing Beth talk about “completing the cycle” of trauma and how practicing boundaries, consent, and safe physical touch have been vital to her healing journey. She also gives us a sneak peek into her upcoming book

Beth’s wisdom and vulnerability are sure to inspire anyone who’s looking to grow, heal, and connect with the world around them.

In this episode, we talk about:

• The role of community in personal growth and healing.

• Why individualism and social media can exacerbate loneliness.

• How Beth overcame fear and built a thriving support network.

• Practical strategies for embracing transformation and finding resilience.

This episode is packed with insights, heartfelt moments, and actionable steps to help you lean into your own journey of resilience.

Coming back from a win at a competition this weekend, I thought I'd share some thoughts from an 18 year coach.

In this episode, I tackle four common fitness myths (that may be controversial) that might be holding you back and share actionable tips to improve your performance:

You Don’t Need to Workout 6-7 Days a Week

Overtraining doesn’t equal better results. By focusing on 3-4 well-structured workouts a week, combined with intensity and proper recovery, you can see greater progress without the risk of burnout or injury. Rest isn’t a luxury—it’s part of the program.

Open Gym Isn’t the Key to Success

You don’t need endless hours of Open Gym to improve. Structured, coach-led classes are designed to help you progress, especially when you prioritize technique and effort over volume. For targeted improvements, like mastering a movement, a personal training session is far more effective than going at it solo.

Nutrition Doesn’t Have to Be Perfect

Forget the all-or-nothing mindset. Consistency matters more than perfection. By sticking to one simple habit—like not eating after 7 PM—you can see significant results, as I did when I dropped 14 pounds in 30 days. Start small, be consistent, and watch your results build over time.

What You Do Outside the Gym Matters Just as Much

Training hard isn’t enough if you’re neglecting the basics: mobility, sleep, hydration, and stress management. Tight hips? Poor sleep? Chronic dehydration? These are performance killers. Focus on improving your lifestyle habits, and your results inside the gym will skyrocket.

Takeaway: Progress isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing better. Nail the fundamentals, stay consistent, and remember: fitness is a journey, not a race.

#InspireByAccident has become Megan's unofficial hashtag. She loves CrossFit and weightlifting, and does them both very well. She walks the walk and leads by example.

As a retired RCMP officer and CrossFit Affiliate Owner, Megan's goal is to "just be real". She believes the world is becoming increasingly more fake. Real inclusivity doesn't talk about inclusivity, it just is.

Join me as we discuss Megan's competitive career, her journey in opening her own affiliate, and her unapologetic honestly that can certainly rub some people the wrong way (and the right way).

In this episode of Resilient Humans, we dive into the power of competition and how it pushes people to uncover strengths and qualities they didn’t know existed within them. Inspired by the incredible performances we witnessed at Saturday's Maritime Mayhem event, we explore how competition isn't just about winning—it's about stepping outside of your comfort zone, finding resilience, and embracing the best version of yourself.

We share examples of athletes who dug deep, overcame mental and physical barriers, and discovered new layers of determination. This episode is a reminder that competition has the unique ability to bring out the extraordinary in all of us.

"It never works out for me"

"This is the worst day ever"

Dramatic language, marked by extreme expressions like "never" or "always," simplifies life into rigid absolutes, stripping away subtlety and leading to unnecessary tension.

This episode delves into how such language shapes perception, inflates stress, and fosters emotional imbalance through catastrophizing and exaggeration.

We discuss the common words like "need" and "just" that amplify stakes or minimize positive intent, and how replacing them with more precise terms can bring clarity and ease.

Tune in for practical steps to temper dramatic language, fostering resilience, balanced communication, and authentic connection in a world brimming with overstated narratives.
