The Chase Life podcast is back with another Q&A series, this time on all things related to binge and emotional eating and your relationship with food. Rachel and David get to the bottom of 3 common questions so many people are struggling with: 1. How can you stop yourself from a binge when you know you're going to do it but you just can't stop? 2. I'm fine during the day but then I become the cookie monster when the kids go to bed! 3. I put on weight after leaving my husband, then I consciously was afraid to look good as people would judge me as the fit and healthy person who left…is this common?? Delving straight into the first question, Rachel and David explain…

• What to do when it feels "like another part of you takes over". • The role of the survival brain and why logical thinking and rationalizing doesn't work. • How to learn to communicate with your survival brain in a language it understands. • And the two key factors that will help eliminate binge eating from your life forever. Eating at night when the little rugrats go to bed is something SO MANY people struggle with. Rachel and David unpack…

• The factors that lead you to becoming the cookie monster late at night in the first place. • Practical strategies to implement as your first port of call. • How to effectively deal with emotional hunger and emotional cravings. • Why common solutions like distraction techniques, willpower and cutting out trigger foods only end up making things worse. Lastly, and getting to the root of our final question, Rachel and David explain…

• What really underlies this fear of being judged. • The single most important secret to resolving this issue. • Why all the transformation and diet and exercise stuff is only a surface level temporary fix. • Why, at the end of the day, fat loss really is an emotional problem. If you want to learn to let go of the fear of being judged, overcome that negative and quite bossy voice in your head, or just simply feel that, oh I'm actually normal and loads of people are struggling with this stuff, then Episode 68 is most definitely one episode not to be missed! Episode 68 of the Chase Life podcast is chock full of actionable and VERY practical strategies that if implemented today, will quite literally change your life!

Rachel and David answer three big questions: 1. How to learn to love being single and on your own at 43… 2. Tips on making decisions and sticking to them for example which goals to focus on… 3. How to get yourself out of a rut. Rachel and David dive deep into why age is only a number, how to uncover hidden beliefs you have surrounding love and relationships later in life, why it may be better to be single at 43 than 23 (you'll LOVE this one!), and how to actually enjoy the process of dating rather than seeing it as a chore or something to be endured! We all know people that exude charisma and that special something but what is it that makes someone truly sexy? Rachel and David explore what that secret ingredient is, the precursor to sexy (it's not the six pack), how to be happy on your own, and just what exactly you're supposed to do in the meantime while you're waiting around for Mr or Mrs Right… Moving on, the two dive into decisiveness and the importance of knowing yourself, the 2 big factors that get in the way of making decisions, and the 3 underlying fears that hold so many of us back when it comes to taking action (number 2 will blow your mind!). Finally, Episode 67 closes with the answer to one of the biggest blocks in life: THE RUT. Find out practical tips on how to break out of yours, what to focus on, how to reframe, and how to learn to let go and let the answers come to YOU.

What is a High Value Women and how do you know when you are one?

Or what happens on the days that sometimes you feel "Hell yes!" I am that woman and feel utterly UNSTOPPABLE and on other days, well… not so much.

There can be a lot of blindspots and misconstruing of the words around the term High Value Woman and the identity and role it has in your life.

For example…

Maybe you feel pressure to live up to a certain expectation.

Or maybe you feel that if you're not constantly striving for more and achieving and growing, then you're failing miserable and are simply not enough.

Episode 66 clarifies the issue and delves into the definition and traits of what a High Value Woman truly is and the 2 core principles behind the way in which Chase Life uses this concept to not only shape but inspire growth.

Rachel explains what one of the BIGGEST blindspots and shortcomings with all personal development is, and the dangers of approaching self help and personal growth through the lens of "you're still not good enough".

She delves into what the RIGHT reasons for chasing personal growth really look like, the importance and NECESSITY of a compelling future, how to let go of obligation and the pressure of "having to be" a certain way, and how to use the concept of becoming High Value Woman from a place of inspiration and as a tool to completely transform your life.

Empowering and daring, Episode 66 leaves you with actionable steps that if implemented TODAY, will mark Day 1 of the rest of your life!

Confidence is the absolute foundation to creating the life that you love.

Except…What's behind real self confidence? And more importantly, how do you create it?!!

The thing is…

There's a ton of bs and happy flower woo woo out there around "how to be more self confident", but these approaches hardly, if ever, work long term.

Approaches like "fake it till you make it" and "be it until you see it" are all well and good but are only ONE part of the picture.

Episode 65 cuts through the fluff and puff and delves straight into the core foundation of self confidence, the role of self-worth and what that looks and FEELS like in action, the 2 biggest mistakes most people make that keeps them stuck in low self confidence and imposter syndrome, and why true self confidence is both an inside-out AND an outside-in job.

At the end of the day, we can do all the inner and outer work we want but unless we combine, implement, and back this work up with action, true and genuine self confidence will always be out of our reach. Episode 65, shows you exactly what that action entails.

If you want to learn how to be fully present, have UNSTOPPABLE self-confidence, make ballsy decisions, and develop the courage to behave in new ways that actually align with your new sense of identity… Episode 65 of the Chase Life podcast with Rachel Godfrey is one episode you DON'T want to miss.

How do you know when it's appropriate to take your foot off the gas, have a lighter session and reduce volume and how do you know when you're just bullshitting yourself?

Things are rarely black and white but sometimes we hold ourselves to impossible rules and standards that keep us trapped from not only progressing in our training, but in our lives.

The problem is….

So many of us have lost the ability to think for ourselves – certainly when it comes to fitness & nutrition… We rely on someone else to tell us what to do, when to do it, and we've simply lost the ability to trust ourselves and our own intuition.

However, there comes a point where you have to figure out what works for YOU and there is no right answer.

Rachel and David delve into how to find that balance in training as a busy professional, how to let go of overanalysing and perfectionistic thoughts regarding diet and exercise, how to learn to think for yourself, how to trust your own decisions, and the key factors to take into account if you're on the fence between going light or slogging through.

Rachel explains exactly why she believes exercise should NOT be a form of therapy, the dangers of needing exercise in your life as your only outlet for stress, how to detach emotion from food and exercise, and the most important factor of all when it comes to balancing your training (hint: it's not intensity).

If you've ever wondered about the difference between listening to your body versus being lazy, or between pushing hard versus just flogging yourself and digging yourself deeper into a hole, then Episode 63 of the Chase Life podcast is most definitely your episode!

You're extremely good at doing everything externally that needs doing. You can do the job, run the business, manage the team, organise the kids and run the home. You're ambitious, driven, hardworking and prepared to do the work to achieve whatever it takes which is great but….on the inside? On the inside, you're having a complete meltdown.

The thing is…

With ambition comes achievement and with achievement comes more responsibility, and with that, more uncertainty. Except now you're at a point where all your strategies and habits for handling uncertainty are starting to unravel and you find yourself anxious, stressed out, and utterly overwhelmed.

So now what?

Where do you go from there? Quit, find something low stress, low pressure, even though you know, deep down, you're capable of so much more?

Knuckle down, grit your teeth and bear the stress and charge through, fooling yourself that there's light at the end of the tunnel even though the light never comes and the decades pass while you're barely surviving, unable to be present and even enjoy the life you do have?

Or…choose a different path? Choose a different path of course! Episode 62 teaches you precisely what it takes to start handling uncertainty like a boss, how to get rid of the stress and overwhelm that you're drowning in, the 2 key steps we need to address to get rid of the problem for good, and the 3 biggest blindspots most people have that keeps them terrified of mistakes, failure and judgement by others.

If you're interested in transforming your life, taking yourself to the next level, becoming unstoppable and achieving more than you ever thought possible, Episode 62 is your guide for getting there.

So many people think that "when I lose weight or get leaner/thinner or more muscular, then I'll feel more confident or like myself more". After all, you're changing what you dislike about yourself so what could go wrong?

Except…

What happens when you do lose weight or lose a lot of weight yet still feel like that fat girl inside? What happens if you get to your goal weight or dream body and feel exactly the same as you did before with all the same doubts, fears, insecurities, and lack of self confidence? What then?

Episode 61 gets to the heart of the matter and explains why, contrary to popular belief, weight loss does not create lasting self confidence, and more importantly, what DOES.

We explain why hating yourself skinny fails long term, what the true elements for building long lasting change and self confidence are, what really lies behind the fear of getting to your goal weight or achieving the ideal body and not being able to maintain it, and exactly what needs to be in place for you to feel "I'm so comfortable in myself I'm just going to show up authentically unapologetically as who I really am"...and believe it!

Which, paradoxically, creates the foundations necessary for you to lose weight PERMANENTLY, and enjoy the process.

Episode 61 of the Chase Life podcast is filled with actionable advice that when applied, will begin to change your life TODAY. If you want to learn what truly builds authentic and lasting self confidence or are currently struggling with your own self-worth, then this is an episode not to be missed.

Most people run around from one thing to the next, loads on their plate and arrive at the end of the day exhausted and frazzled. With so much busyness and chaos inside their mind, they find themselves looking for the fastest way to escape, to disconnect or just calm down for a while. For many, this takes the form of food. It's so easy to blame external circumstances for all that stress – the spouse, the kids, the boss, the staff, the colleagues, the marketplace. We try to convince ourselves that, "If only I had more money, more respect, more time or was more successful… gosh, then I'd be happier, less bored, and definitely less stressed!" Episode 60 turns all that stuff completely on its head as Rachel and David dig deep into exactly what we need to address in order to resolve stress eating, boredom eating, compulsive eating, binge eating and mindless snacking…once and for all.

We delve into what really lies at the root of stress and boredom eating, the three main steps to resolving these issues, why traditional approaches like willpower, distraction techniques and avoiding trigger foods are not only ineffective, but can actually make things worse, and the proven way to make urges and cravings reduce, dissipate and disappear from your life, for good! From learning how to resolve underlying emotional blockages to identifying what's at the heart of your stress eating, overwhelm, and boredom, Episode 60 of the Chase Life Podcast delivers big. A must listen, for those who are done settling and looking to get MORE out of life.

Negative body image affects so many people to varying degrees.

At one end we have people who feel a little self-conscious and don't like how they look around their cycle. At the other end we have the people with extreme feelings and dislike of their bodies – feelings that affect all aspects of their lives from their confidence, to their career, their relationships and even their ability to get dressed in the dark.

The body positive movement will just tell you to love yourself, while others will say, "oh you'll always have to manage it because it'll always be lurking in the background" ….but where does that leave the rest of us?

Episode 59 flips the script on its head and explains why resolving body confidence issues has nothing to do with changing your body and what really lies at the heart of the matter.

Rachel and David delve into what gives rise to negative body image in the first place, whether it's bad or wrong to want to improve your aesthetics, the key emotional factors that must be in place if you are chasing a body transformation, and why the belief of "I've always been this way and I'll always struggle with this" is absolutely and categorically untrue.

Whether you're a female chasing a body transformation, a mother with young daughters, or just a regular person who struggles low with self-confidence and a negative body image, Episode 59 is a must listen.
