Join us with special guest Kelsey Abbott. Kelsey is a Human Design reader. What the Heck is Human Design? It's a special blueprint unique to each of us, based on the moment and location that our body was born into this world. It provides insights into our greater purpose, the things that we were meant to do. And it provides even more insights into why certain things are so darn hard for us! Listen to Kelsey share insights into Sarah's unique Human Design as we go down lots of detours and rabbit holes.

*LIVE SHOW*

This is our first ever live show, full of fun, off-the-cuff riffing on a topic close to all of our hearts: What we think about ourselves!

Dive into a 3-way conversation with Nicole, Sarah and our very special guest Jill Angie of Not Your Average Runner. Jill is a running coach & life coach with a special focus on mindset practices. 

Today we talk reframes, channel changes and how to simply learn how to change our thoughts. It takes practice! Plus we talk about our butts at the end, so listen all the way through :)

After a little summer vacation, hiatus, we are back!

This topic is perfectly timed with the beYOUtiful campaign which starts in October. You can sign up for the free 21-day beYOUtiful Fitness Challenge, the free online beYOUtiful campaign (where you share your "I am" word to help empower and inspire yourself and others) and the first-ever Virtual beYOUtiful Summit on Oct 22 & 23!

Races are ON AGAIN! 

Human interaction is possible again! 

As you choose your race schedule for the year, ZOOMA events are a must. For many reasons. 

Today we talk about all the reasons you need to register for ZOOMA Cape Cod on Sept 25-26. This race, like all ZOOMA destination events, is all about "RUN. SUN. FUN." 

Top 5 reasons we love Cape Cod ZOOMA:

1. Cape Cod itself is an amazing destination, especially in the fall.

We were so inspired by episode 20 "Perfect is a Lie," that we decided to record its sister episode "Balance is a Lie." We all know perfect balance is possible, but the tragedy is that it's difficult to achieve and when we get there, it's fleeting, which often leads to disappointment and frustration - with ourselves. 

We riff on what balance means to us, if it's worth chasing, and some strategies to get what we really want out of life.

Takeaways include:

• Balance is an illusion.

We all self-sabotage. It's part of being human. The big questions are "Why?" and "How do we stop ourselves?" 

Today we talk with Dr Candice Seti, author of The Self-Sabotage Behavior Workbook: A Step-by-Step Program to Conquer Negative Thoughts, Boost Confidence, and Learn to Believe in Yourself. 

We define self-sabotage as "engaging in behaviors that stand in our own way." Think about it. You say you want to do something, then you stand in your own way! Why we do this is fairly simple - fear. Fear of success, fear of failure, fear of change. 

Candice has identified 9 different type of self-sabotagers - we talk about all of them today and different ways that we can Stop the Sabotage!

Many of us were raised with the philosophy that saying yes gives us value. We always want to be helpful. We want to be positive. We don't want to deal with conflict and confrontation. Saying yes seems to be the path to all of these things.

What we've learned over our lifetimes is that saying no just may be even more important! 

Today we talk about the Power of No in our lives. 

Takeaways:

1) We only have so much to give. When you say yes to something, you say no to something else. Which is more important? 

2) Observe your behavior when you say yes. If you're not sure, "Sleep on it."

3) Build up your NO arsenal. Work on all the ways you can say no while still maintaining a positive environment around you. 

Moving. It's something we've all done at one point or many in our lives. Today we tackle what's behind the move, a very timely topic because Sarah is in the middle of an actual, physical move to a new home, and Nicole made a huge move just six months ago. 

But what we uncover is that this topic is about so much more than the move itself. 

Takeaways:

1) Do you really need all the stuff you have?

2) There is power in letting go. 

3) Fresh starts are important to create in our lives. We deserve to be able to see them through.

Here's the gist, what we've all believed at one point or another:

If you're perfect, you'll be happy, you'll be successful, others will like you. 

It's just not true. And here's why... (and some takeaways!)

• The standard of perfection is made up, often by someone else who has no idea who you are and what your life and circumstances are.

*We also talk about pit sweat and deoderant :)

ENJOY!

Amy Cochrane had a vision - she wanted to create an accessory that active women could wear that would inspire and motivate. The Momentum Wrap was born shortly afterward followed by many other products that help women get out the door featuring heartfelt, meaningful messages. Amy met Sarah many years ago when they both sat on a panel called "Taking the Leap: Facing your Fears." It's perfectly fitting that today Momentum has joined the Be Inspired Brands family! 

Takeaways:

1. Magic often happens when you simply move forward with pure intentions.
