Today I'm talking about a common thing that all of us do where we have expectations of people, sometimes called "a manual”. We want them to think, feel, and act a certain way.

The problem- people aren’t very good at being who we think they should be. Holding onto our "manuals", expecting our kids and others to be who we want them to be, just causes us a lot of unnecessary misery.

Believing someone should be different than they are, feels like love. It feels like we’re just trying to be a good mom (wife, daughter, friend, etc.)  by looking out for them, but what we aren’t seeing is the misery we’re inflicting on ourselves in the process of trying to control and change them.

Join me on the podcast this week as I highlight how we hold onto our joy-sucking manuals, and why letting them go is the key to becoming A Joyful You - happier, healthier, confident, as well as improving all the relationships in your life. 

Don’t forget to grab your Drop It Like It's Hot Weight Loss Strategy Blueprint if you haven’t already! It will show you why what you're currently doing to lose weight isn't working and a personal strategy for what will.

What You’ll Learn on this Episode:

• Why having expectations for others might be making you miserable
• What having a “manual” for someone means.
• How we punish ourselves with our manuals.
• Why you need to drop expectations of other people and who you think they should be.
• The lie we tell ourselves around our expectations of other people.

Today we're diving into your thoughts about your summer body. 

Are you unhappy with your body image? If so, you’re not alone. Body image isn’t something we just came up with ourselves. It’s something that's been conditioned by society.

We've been told in many ways that our bodies are unacceptable as they are, that we should be ashamed of them, and that they need fixing especially during the summer.

We've been conditioned that there is a one size fits all mold that we're supposed to morph our bodies into and that the way our body looks is more important than everything else.

In today's episode, I'm talking about body image and some different ways to think about your body. 

If you don’t currently have a life coach, I would be so honored to be yours. I'm currently offering 1:1 private coaching. If you’re ready to take this work to the 10X level, click here to check it out!

WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER:

• Where the idea of having a HOT SUMMER BODY came from
• Seasonal Body Dissatisfaction
• Why it's so hard to stop thinking negatively about your body
• 3 new thoughts to think about your body

I have been a coach for 6 years now and I’ve helped 100’s of women and a few men, and the number one thing my clients want help working on is weight loss.

So many have tried diet after diet and they’re left frustrated. They started out hopeful, but eventually they grew to hate it because it’s hard and miserable.

When it comes to losing weight so many people focus only know to focus on the food piece, trying to change what and how much they eat.

But what I’ve come to realize is that changing what you eat is actually the last piece of the puzzle. There is so much more that needs to be addressed first. Once you address these things, then the food part becomes so much easier! And there’s not the constant battle going on.

So instead of just jumping all in and trying to do a complete 180 degree overhaul of your life trying to do and eat all the things perfectly all at once to lose weight, I promote working on weight loss by degrees. And more specifically, just one degree, one tiny percent, at a time.

On this episode I'm sharing my framework for weight loss.

WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER:

• How and why weight loss by degrees works.
• Rachael's framework for weight loss
• What it means to be a "normal" eater
• What things effect and influence our weight
• Why past diets didn't work and what will
