Self Care Simplified

Do you ever wish your body was different? (Yep, I’m raising my hand, too!) If so, this extremely vulnerable episode is just for you! This is a unique perspective on how your body type may impact your body image. 

Liz Revilla is an Endomorph, Amanda Bennett is an Ectomorph, and I am a Mesomorph, so the three of us represent the three main body types.

And all of us - at different points in time - have felt like our body type was the worst.

Today, we’re opening up and honestly sharing how we FEEL about our own bodies...And we’re not holding anything back!

We ALL have insecurities about our own bodies, regardless of body types. Let this conversation help you appreciate your body and CRUSH the comparison game!

But then whenever she turns her attention back to her nutrition, she falls off the workout wagon. What’s the deal?

Megan gives advice for finding the right balance and even discusses the popular phrase “can you outtrain a bad diet?”

If you struggle to prioritize your fitness and nutrition like you know you should, the answer could be as simple as organizing your spice rack. Seriously.

Today, Krista Lockwood is joining me on the show. Krista is the host of the Motherhood Simplified podcast and helps moms declutter their spaces without becoming a full blown minimalist!

Quick fixes are always so tempting. But what happens when you want to be wise and avoid the quick fix, but progress feels slow- like really slow? It’s hard to not get discouraged and wonder if you’re making the right choice.

The struggle to stay the course gets even more challenging when frustrating health issues threaten to derail everything. My guest today knows all about this.

Heather Thomas is a homeschooling mom of 2 that battles with chronic pain and ongoing health issues. And just like so many of us, she allowed her self worth to be tied to how much progress she was making and what she got accomplished in a day. With so many starts and stops, she felt like she wasn’t getting anywhere.

Her big breakthrough didn’t happen until she accepted that her journey wasn’t going to be quick, and that was entirely ok.

We’re chatting all about her cardio days, her fear of strength training, the comparison game, and how she was able to get off the all-or-nothing roller coaster. The coolest thing is toward the end we talk about what she CAN actually accomplish today...which is so awesome.

Making your body a higher priority…dealing with negative thoughts about your body…constantly feeling discouraged about your habits and your progress. If I had to take a wild guess, you struggle with these things on a regular basis.

The truth is that your thought life, the things you think and believe in your mind, is powerful and can completely drive the boat. If you have negative thoughts, maybe shameful, distrustful, neglectful or unworthy thoughts about yourself and your body, it completely impacts how you show up to care for it.

I’ve invited Sara Sery back on the show with me today. She’s a coach and mentor that works with moms like you to help reroute your thought life and to experience small, but significant breakthroughs. But the coolest part is that she’s going to help us do this by showing us how Jesus and the sweet gospel applies to all areas of our thought life, even our self care.

We talk about neuroplasticity, thought management, habit stacking, shame, priorities, and why your brain is a scary place - all the juicy stuff.

Sara is the founder of the super popular counseling group Bad Christian Moms, and has many groups and programs to help moms overcome their negative thought patterns and create new thoughts. Oh friend, this isn’t just the power of positive thinking... this is so much more than that. I’m honored to introduce you to Sara again.

Do you sometimes feel like you’re starting at square one with your fitness and nutrition? It’s super common to “fall off the wagon” for a while, and feel like you need to just start over. But what are your wisest steps forward from here? How can you avoid a ton of extra time and heartache this time around?

In this episode, I’m going to share exactly what I would do differently if I had to start over myself. If someone were to come in and remove all the health and fitness gains I’ve made in my own body and go back to square one, what would I do? What mistakes nutrition, exercise and fitness mistakes would I avoid? And what specific steps would I take to make sure I got results in all the right ways?

Right now, if you really need a mentor and a coach to sit down with you and say, “Do this, don’t do this, then do this after that”, then this episode is for you. I’ve made many mistakes along the way, and I don’t want you to make the same ones. Keep leaning in, gain that wisdom from others that have gone before you, and do it right.
