The Art of Pre-Selling

Our wellness journey is not only made of nutrition protocols, fitness classes, and what the scale tells you daily. It also requires a growth mindset (a.k.a. stepping away from limiting beliefs and starting to believe in ourselves more). On the other hand, a fixed mindset and thoughts like "I don't have what it takes" or "I can't do this" can really hold us back and prevent us from moving forward.

In today's episode of The Wellness Revolution podcast, Amber talks with Kasey Orvidas about growth mindset and the role that mindset plays on our wellness journey. Kasey talks briefly about her background with exercising and how the psychology aspect of fitness and health is as important as the physical one. Tune in to learn more about what you can do today to empower yourself, get your mindset right, and start walking towards your goals with confidence and conviction.

If you have been adopting different restrictive diets over the last few years, you know how hard it is to find food freedom. Every little food item, of every little meal becomes this huge decision of whether it's good or bad, if you can or can't have it, or if you deserve or don't deserve it. All of a sudden, we turn into slaves of our own eating choices: measuring everything, counting all the macros, and worrying too much.

In this episode of The Wellness Revolution podcast, Amber shares a simple list of 3 actions that lead to food freedom. With these 3 steps you will learn to rewire the way you think about food, reframe the notions of "good food" and "bad food", and learn to give yourself some grace. It is going to be uncomfortable and it is going to require some inner work but, in the end, you will see a revolution in your lifestyle. Tune in mammas!

Meditation is a great practice that helps, not only our mental state, but our physical wellness too. It is a well circulated habit, which has become really popular through social media, and the best thing is that everyone can do it! Despite being super simple, the act of meditating can have the opposite effect: causing people to feel anxiety and frustration because they think that they're not doing it right.

In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, Amber breaks down what meditation is all about and how you can incorporate it in your routine. She highlights all the benefits that this practice is responsible for, how it helps you connect with yourself, calm your thoughts, and reduce your cortisol levels. Not only that, meditation also gives our brain a rest from the daily activities, making room for feelings like gratitude and serenity.

When we are invested in making changes and adopting healthy habits, we always know WHAT needs to be done, but we don't know WHY. Finding your why, a.k.a. the reason behind such change; is going to give you perspective, is going to help you when you feel like giving up, and is ultimately going to take you further. The WHY ends up being the compass that will guide you towards your goal.

In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, Jessica Gunn shares her why, and what motivated her to transform her habits and aim for a fitness lifestyle. Jessica shares that it is way easier to start your transformation by doing little challenges with yourself, focusing on how you feel instead of how you look, and always remembering the person you no longer want to be. Jessica also talks about her training methods, explaining that lifting weights is a matter of enriching her life and that's what she tries to pass along to her coaching clients.

Pilates is also a good strength based workout that develops your core, low back, and all the abdominal muscles.

When you think about dieting and weightloss; chances are you instantly think you need to deprive and torture yourself, eat way less than you already eat, and completely give up foods you enjoy. This mentality will eventually lead you, not only to food obsession, but also a difficult relationship with food. The only way out of this self-abuse is creating sustainable goals while also learning about mindfulness, moderation, and how you can eat in a more intuitive way.

In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, Amber sits down with Jill Coleman, founder of JillFit and creator of the Moderation365 certification, to talk about the circumstances of why some women try to lose weight for the wrong reasons and in the wrong ways. Jill explains that because women are always being told they need to drop a few pounds for no reason, the majority of them end up developing a compulsive and unhealthy relationship with food. Jill also shares her own story and how she was able to deal with this type of issue.

There are a few experiences in life that are pivotal moments, changing our perspective forever. Regardless of your own story, there's no doubt that relationship break ups and divorce are two of these experiences. Although we think we have all the relationship dilemmas figured out, it's important to know that, when it comes to two heads thinking and two hearts beating, you can only control what you can control.

In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, Amber talks about her experience through divorce and how it affected her personal development journey. Looking back at our actions is part of the process of taking ownership: of the things we could have done differently and of the lessons we learned through consequences of certain actions. Although it's a difficult event, a separation can – and will – prepare the person for the future ahead.
