You can hate failure and still embrace it. In this episode I share why failing might be better than winning. The saying “failure is not an option” can actually be the belief that is stopping you from growing, stretching or trying something completely new. Failure is a teacher and a guide. This episode will give you two fresh perspectives on failure and some space to reflect on failure in your own life. For full transcript head to www.healthcoach4life.com/blog

In this episode I am revealing the four most important lessons I learned from having major breast surgery. I took time to reflect on this year-long process I had been through and I know that these lessons are not just for or about having surgery. They are life lessons that you can apply to your own life right now. This episode will leave you feeling empowered and hopefully reflecting on how these lessons I learned fit into your life right now. For full transcript head to www.healthcoach4life.com/blog

You've heard me share about my mentor and how passionate I am that people need mentors and teachers in their life. There are some golden nuggets, as I call them, from my mentor and I am excited to share them with you. This wisdom from my mentor does apply to parenting, however, you might find that if you're not a parent and you're listening and that there are some things you can take away from this as well. These “nuggets” will encourage and give you space to reflect on your own journey.

I really do think I am a typical person and that my health journey is relatable. As I share how I had to lose it all to get where I am now, you might find yourself nodding along in agreement. Maybe you most relate to my high school desire to lose weight. Maybe it’s putting myself last as a mom. Or maybe the fad diet of the month club I had a membership to. Something in this episode will not only feel like you, but I will show you how I, and you, can have body confidence & food freedom today.

When our children were little and stuff was everywhere I created this strategy to get it all cleaned up, by them, not me. I called it “basket cleaning” and it worked like magic. Not only is it still used today when needed, but I share how I use this exact concept to address our thoughts. Whether you are struggling with something, making a big decision or just need to see what you are thinking, this concept will help you. I share two resources in the show notes to help you basket clean your thoughts.

Do you ever feel like you are living in Groundhog Day? Like, you are living the same day over and over again. Who or what are we allowing to dictate our life? It’s so silly that a groundhog would dictate something like the seasons, but are we living in that space?  Is something external from you dictating your life to live on repeat? You might need to do something, small or big, to stop the feeling that you are living the same day over and over again. 

I can distinctly remember as a child, the news being on in the morning to see Punxsutawney Phil come out and see his shadow or not. It's not a big deal in Arizona even a little bit, but it is still a day on the calendar and it is just a fun tradition. I don't believe a groundhog seeing its shadow or not determines if we have more winter. I just don't think that's how it works. It did make for a really funny movie with Bill Murrary though in 1993. 

My question is are you living in Groundhog Day? Who or what are we allowing to dictate our life? It’s so silly that a groundhog would dictate something like the seasons, but are we living in that space?  Is something external from you dictating your life to live on repeat?

A lot of people wonder why there is a midlife crisis. I believe part of the reason we see this is because people live on repeat and have a limit for living this way. Whether it’s in work or marriage, people live in Groundhog Day and eventually hit their limit, leaving them to check out, change everything or feel in crisis.

You might be in a place where you can prevent Groundhog Day. It’s going to take you making some changes now. You might need to do something, small or big, to stop the feeling that you are living the same day over and over again. Visualize yourself ten years from now, if you live the same days over and over again, and ask yourself if this is where you want to be. Are you left wondering, “why didn’t I change something?” There is power in making the little and big changes in your life.
