One thing that ALWAYS comes up when I'm coaching women on weight loss is boundaries. There's a tendency to put everyone else first, and only take care of ourselves if there is time/energy/bandwidth at the end of the day to do so. We don't know how to say no to others because we've never given ourselves the opportunity to try.

Weight loss requires you to prioritize yourself, and sometimes that means enforcing boundaries in your life. But what exactly are boundaries?

In this episode, I'm joined by psychotherapist Dana Skaggs, an expert on boundaries. Together, we explore:

• What boundaries are (and also what they aren't)
• Why boundaries are important (and how they can actually strengthen your relationships)
• How to set healthy boundaries in your life

Nancy Pickard is an integrative life coach and on this episode of the podcast, she shares with us how to get out of autopilot and move beyond our fears. She teaches us how our shadow beliefs hold us back, and how our unconscious commitments keep us stuck in our old unhelpful patterns.

Nancy shows us exactly how to do this by coaching me through my own shadow beliefs and the fears that are holding me back. It was a powerful process for me, and it will be for you too!

I just returned from a two-week holiday in Egypt and Jordan. I came home 9-lbs lighter - this was unexpected! Tune in to this episode to hear about why I think this weight loss happened, and how I plan to use the lessons I learned on holiday to continue my weight loss at home. Specifically, you'll learn:

• How I planned to eat while I was away, and why it's important to have a plan that you're ready, willing, and able to follow through on when you're on vacation
• How various factors affect your appetite (and how to use these to your advantage)
• The role stress plays in weight regulation, and why stress management is crucial
• Why it's essential to have a "re-integration" plan for when you return home from vacation

Lots of little helpful nuggets of gold in this one!

If you're keen to put these tools to practice in your own life, join us now in Nourish Yourself: Body+Mind (www.wayzahealth.com/nourish-yourself).

"I don't think that self love and self improvement have to be mutually exclusive. I think that we can love our bodies for what they've carried us through in life, what they do for us on a day to day basis, and still desire to make choices that you know might be healthier or might be more in line with whatever our goal is.+

~ Allie Cass

One of the reasons why weight loss can be so darn hard sometimes is that we like to stay in our comfort zone. We get used to a certain way of eating, and even though it may be harming us physically or emotionally, it’s what we know best, and so it feels safe. If you want to change the way you eat (or anything else for that matter), then you have to step outside your comfort zone. In this episode, you’ll learn exactly how to do that.
