Run Your Money Show

My journey in the self-development space began almost 10 years ago as a fitness instructor. I taught Cardio Combo, Kickboxing, Muscle Pump, the works.

In fact, it was my experience as a fitness instructor that inspired my original business as a health coach. A lot of my students came into my fitness classes asking me to ‘work them hard’ because of what they ate the night or weekend before.

I’m finally getting back into having a healthy relationship to fitness, which is why I was so excited about this interview. Tanja is spot ons, and I love the parallels she draws between a healthy relationship to fitness + healthy relationships.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

1. Why the goal behind your fitness goal is really what to focus on.
2. How being so obsessed with weight loss + fitness can sabotage your current or future relationships.
3. How to be okay with where you are now, but still have weight loss or fitness goals.

About Tanja:

Tanja is a west coast girl, born and raised in British Columbia. She loves climbing to the top of mountains + staring at just about any body of water from the Pacific Ocean to the Vedder River (that flows through my current home, Chilliwack).  She also loves an oversized cup of coffee, and listening to podcasts for entrepreneurs. You can find her writing blogs + publishing podcasts to inspire others, continuing her own education, running her fitness studio here in Chilliwack, and working with her amazing clients.

On today’s episode, I’m so excited to introduce to you a nationally recognized health + sexuality expert, August McLaughlin. It’s possible to talk about all things dating + relationships without ever talking about how sex fits into the equation. Since we haven’t talked directly on the topic yet on this podcast, I can’t wait for you to listen in to this juicy episode.

I especially loved this episode because the key to sexual empowerment + a satisfying sexual relationship with your partner runs parallel to everything I teach: dating yourself + treating yourself the way you want to be treated.

As I said, August is a nationally recognized health + sexuality expert, and is host of Girl Boner Radio {Yes, you heard that right!}. Girl Boner is a show that celebrates women’s lives + sexuality “like no other.” I’m so excited that I’ll be coming onto her show in late May. {I’ll send you the episode when it’s live!}

Here’s what we jam about in this episode:

• How soon is too soon to sleep with someone you’re dating, and what other sex rules are there?
• Do women’s sexuality really peak in their childbearing years?
• The link between your sexuality + body image
• How can a woman start getting more comfortable with herself sexually?
• Keeping things interesting in a long-term relationship + planned sex dates: yay or nay?

I’m so excited to share with you my interview with Robyn Baldwin. Robyn is a self-described Alpha Female + Work/Life Harmony Strategist.

Her story, and her transformation afterward blew my mind. Four years ago, Robyn canceled her wedding after realizing the relationship she was in was a toxic + co-dependent. She stayed with a man that had his own shit to deal with. But her belief of unconditional love + that love conquers all made her stay, because she believed she could fix him + the relationship.

Even after calling off the wedding, Robyn still struggled with putting herself first + literally could not be alone in her apartment.

Even if you’ve never broken off an engagement or canceled your wedding, so much of her story is incredibly common. As you’re listening, consider these questions:

In your current or a past relationship, did or do you believe that you are responsible for your partner’s happiness?

Does unconditional love conquer all? At what point is for better or worse a bad idea?

Are you operating under a timeline of when you think you ought to be married or having kids?

Can you hang out by yourself? {And enjoy it?}

Finally, what red flags have you ignored? When has going against your intuition worked for you? Has it ever?

Robyn’s bio:

Robyn Baldwin is an Alpha Female and a Work/Life Harmony Strategist.  She is a Sr. Integrated Marketing Manager, a fitness/lifestyle blogger at RobynBaldwin.com, a former Canada Football League cheerleader and fitness competitor, a published fitness model, a freelance magazine writer, a future best selling author, a brand ambassador and a sponsored athlete. With a passion for fitness Robyn loves running, weight lifting, has taught spin and coached beginner runners. She’s also a yogi and has been practicing for over 10 years. She now spends the majority of her spare time training for  obstacle course racing. She also calls herself an MS Warrior after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in December of 2014.

1. Jacq’s tips for what she WISHED she’d done in her 30s to make entering her 40s easier + more graceful.
2. How red flags in your 40s are different than red flags in your 20s + 30s.

=================================================

If like attracts like, there’s a good chance you’re a lot like me. You’re driven, you have big goals, and most of your friends were...male.

If that doesn’t sound like you, I’m STILL willing to bet that at least once {but probably more} you viewed other women as “the competition” + have sized yourself up against other women.

If that’s you, there’s no shaming or hard feelings, I’m pretty sure we’re all guilty of this, and so was my guest on Date Yourself Radio.

Shannon lived most of her life in her masculine energy, secretly despising other women. In her mind, men were a scarce commodity, and other women were the competition. It wasn’t until she tapped into her own femininity + changed her relationship to other woman that she was able to attract the relationship she has today.

In today’s episode, she shares that journey with us.

About Shannon:

Shannon grew up on her family’s pear farm in a small town in Northern California. She floated up to a skyscraper in Manhattan as a corporate lawyer. When that wasn’t working, she hit the road as a travel photographer all over the world. Now, she is a rooted mama living in Asheville, NC with her 2 year old daughter + husband.  

She share her passion for whole food nutrition + vertical gardening in her business.  Most recently, she hosts the podcast, Honor The Feminine Podcast, and feels so blessed and honored to connect with and share these incredible women.
