  • How to Make Decisions without the Anxiety

    Skip the “pros and cons list” it’s ineffective and it leads you to this stressful place where your decision making skill is more like future predicting skill.  If I have to know the future to make good choices ...then yes, I am definitely living in stress!!

    So what if you separated the SKILL of choosing from the outcome?  What if you elevated your experience of choosing?  How fast could you move forward then?

  • 4 Myths about Weight Loss get BUSTED by Whit

    The thing about myths is that they tend to keep us in a box.  Then we use the limits of the box to determine if we’re doing good or bad - and if we are or are not capable of success in the future.

    In this episodes, Whit Busts these FOUR MYTHS about weightloss

    1. I MUST eat perfectly at least 80% of the time to lose weight
    2. I MUST workout 3-5 times per week to lose weight
    3. I MUST become a “health freak” to lose weight
    4. I MUST shame myself for errors so that I can stay accountable in order to lose weight.
    5. Any of these seem true to you?

      Yeah ...that’s the thing about myths.  The problem is that we believe them.

    6. Ditch the Food Guilt - how to stop feeling guilty after you eat ‘bad’ food

      It’s a pretty common cycle when you’re trying to change an eating habit - restrict, overeat, guilt, restrict ...ad nauseum.  The big error is actually WHERE we attempt to disrupt this cycle.  Right in the little space between restrict and fail.

      The REAL culprit is the guilt!

      Without guilt, you can evaluate, you can learn, you can experiment, you can make 1% adjustments, you can find out what works best for you now, and you can understand how to make adjustments as needed in the future.

      With guilt - you punish, you berate, you force, you deny, you suffer, you battle, you judge ...and you overeat ...again.

      It’s not you - it’s the guilt!  Learn how to elevate your relationship with food to place beyond guilt.  Understand your TRUE authority over this cycle!

    7. Super Hero Syndrome - The day life taught me that I am NOT superman

      I've wanted to be the hero since I can remember.  My first concussion came from jumping off of a boulder onto my dad without him knowing because I had seen the hero do it on TV.

      Unfortunately that incident was not enough to teach me the danger of the love affair with swooping to the rescue.  When I became a father, in my mind it was hero or failure.  I set out to be my daughter's hero ...and full transparency, it was more like her invincible, bulletproof, unstoppable SUPER hero.

      It was WAY too much pressure because it turns out I am, in fact, mortal.  I truth that punched my right in the face when I had to sit down and tell her that the security I had assured her would last forever was actually a security too heavy for me to carry and that it was all about to come crashing down ..and she was going to get hurt.  I couldn't protect her this time.  Even worse, I was the one that was about to hurt her.

    8. Food Confessions - Food, Emotion, and finding your authority

      You open the fridge, you see the cupcakes, you’re tired - it’s been a long day, you decide to just eat one, then you feel terrible.  WHY would I eat that at 10pm??  Now the one next to it starts to look really good - and you know where it goes from here.

      Whit and Jake do it too - we eat refined sugar, empty calories, the foods that make our joints hurt or make us feel bloated ...and we do it because it is just such an easy way to feel a little bit better.

      But the story doesn’t have to end there.  When you experience this, it is NOT the final nail in the coffin or the straw or the camel’s back.  It’s part of being a human being and it doesn’t have to stop you from reaching your health goals.  You don’t even have to punish yourself to get “back on track” ...there’s no track.  It’s a metaphor.  It’s an analogy.

      And we’ll be teaching you (or just reminding you) how to navigate this part of human-ness on November 11th at 7pm Central.  Sign up right here: https://www.steadfastlifecoaching.com/workshop

    10. Masks, Vaccines, COVID, and the People you Love

      What do you do when the people you love have the opposite view as you on the day’s hot button issue?  What if it’s your coworker that you see everyday ...or your parents, your kids, or your spouse?

      How do you stay in the conversation when the conversation feels shut down right from the start?

      All you want is to feel heard, respected, valued - is this the end of your friendship?  Your family?  Your marriage?  Is this the hill you want to die on?

      Learn how this can be EXACTLY what you need to bulletproof your relationships and uplevel your skill at LOVING PEOPLE.

      “If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love.  Do no, by your eating, destroy someone for whom Christ died.”

      Romans 14:15

    11. Whit’s Take on Stress

      Whit’s stress management style is extremely effective and a bit different than Jake’s.  She treats stress as an emotion and uses her breath and meditation as effective ways to dance with it.

      It is important to Whit that she doesn’t attack, resist, or attempt to escape from stress.  She finds it most effective to allow it to be there, then allow it to move through her body, so she can get back to bolding pursuing the purposes God has put on her heart.

    12. How to Handle Stress

      The Holidays are fast approaching and Whit and I hear so much about the “stress” of the time period.  In this video we decided to tackle the topic head on!!

      1. We built a scouting report around stress
      2. We learned to recognize it in all 5 of its forms (Fight, Flight, Freeze, Fawn, Flop)
      3. We chose to allow it
      4. We build a mental framework that helps it do it’s thing and move on
      5. And we chest a little at the end by talking about the process of simply placing it at the feet of Jesus :)

      6. Faith. Adventure. Purpose. The Impact of Identity

        Your identity becomes a filter through which all possibilities for your life must pass.  That makes the ability and desire to adjust the settings on that filter extremely important.

        If you a business builder, you know first hand that your business has an identity of it’s own - and THAT identity is going to have a massive impact on what is possible for your business.

        Take a behind the scenes look at the role IDENTITY plays in business building and how it has shaped Jake and Whit.
