Have you ever been convinced that you know exactly what you want to do in life? How about a life-changing or earth-shattering event? What if that event means you no longer get to become the person you’ve dreamed you would be?

Now I’d like you to consider the following quote: “The extent to which a person aligns with the role of an athlete within their life. When these roles are out of balance it can create stress, feelings of failure, not feeling worthy, or as if we have nothing to contribute.”- The Sports Digest re: Athlete Identity Crisis.

The only person stopping you from chasing your biggest dreams or doing the thing is you. Yup. I said it. You are the reason your dream is failing. You are holding on to beliefs that just aren’t true.

I never graduated from college. Having not gradated, I have struggled with so many limiting beliefs, for years.

Let me list out some of the limiting beliefs I have kept because I never graduated college.

I am not smart.

I am not hardworking enough.

I am not worthy of a career.

I have to work a career I hate because I didn’t graduate.

I do not deserve a high paying career.

I will never make 6 figures.

No one will ever listen to what I have to say.

I used to lie to people and tell them I had graduated. I felt so much shame and received so much pushback from people telling me that I obviously wasn’t smart if I never graduated. I felt like every time I talked to someone, they wanted to compare degrees. I held onto the limiting belief for years that I wasn’t smart enough to chase a dream. I felt like I was completely stupid and not capable of doing what those with degrees could do. I didn’t chase my dream. I thought because I had not graduated, I would never be capable.

When I decided to get my certificate in Nutrition Coaching, I was incredibly proud of myself. I was fiercely passionate about sharing my knowledge and experience with people and couldn’t wait to get out there to coach. It took me 3 years from the day I graduated from that program to the day I announced I was coaching. THREE YEARS because I listened to those voices in my head telling me that I was not capable. Three years because I heard everyone that had ever told me I didn’t graduate from college. Three years of feeling like I wasn’t smart enough.

Beyond not feeling smart enough for not graduating college, I have struggled with many other limiting beliefs.

I am not wealthy enough.

I don’t have the right set up.

I don’t have a house that’s perfect enough

No one will trust what I have to say.

I weigh too much.

My body isn’t ideal enough for the wellness industry.

I am not worthy enough.

I’ve been divorced- I am too broken.

I have anxiety- no one will trust me to coach them on managing anxiety.

I had a chronic binge eating problem- no one will trust me as a coach.

I don’t have enough social media followers.

I want you to stop now and take the time to write out all of your limiting beliefs. Next, I want you to write out why each isn’t true. Write out why you are beautiful, why you are deserving. Write out that you are worthy. Stop letting yourself hold you back. You are SO deserving of the biggest dreams, and you don’t have to hold yourself back anymore. Let yourself fly!

I launched The Nutrition Rookie Podcast just about 1 year ago. It has been going well but as I navigated my podcast journey, I realized there were some things missing. Let’s start with the fact that I can nerd out on nutrition talk for hours; however, that is not the case for many people. The Nutrition Rookie brand was my nerd love for Nutrition but had a blend of so many other things. Rebranding made sense. I wanted to start really getting it out there that this podcast is about everything wellness.

I believe deeply that your wellness is SO much more than just what you eat and how you move your body. Your wellness is how you navigate life. It is how you tackle your career. It is your friend circle. It is what you do in your free time. Your wellness is your happiness and your enjoyment of life.

The pandemic has taught us a lot about our health, habits, mindset and ability to pivot. It has forced us to change our routines. It has forced us to change our thinking. We have had to learn to adapt. We have faced every emotion imaginable. With that, we realized that The Nutrition Rookie podcast was missing something! We love chatting to people about their nutrition and wellness, but we were missing major components about health and wellness. We are so excited to announce a FULL REBRAND. We are changing our name and opening up our purpose. We are pushing boundaries. I started this podcast because I was deeply passionate about sharing stories of peoples journeys in hopes that by sharing stories we can change the world one day at a time. Through CoreGlow Podcast, we hope to move bigger mountains, have even deeper conversation and share even more vulnerability. We will see you back here October 1st!

On this episode of the level up and learn series, I chat with you about why you need health and wellness to chase your biggest dreams. I dive deep into the importance of discovering the best version of you by teaching you about nutrition, wellness, fitness and rest.
