What does it mean to own your results? Let’s unpack it in this episode of the Weight Loss for Busy Physicians podcast!

We tend to have a lot of misconceptions about what it looks like to own our results, and it ends with us beating up, judging, and berating ourselves. That’s not what we’re about here on this podcast, so I want to talk about some alternatives. 

In this episode, I’m teaching you how to own your results in a way that empowers you to learn about yourself and create better results in the future. It’s my goal to arm you with the tools of positive self-talk, curiosity, and experimentation (and a few more along the way).


Topics covered in this episode include:

• My definition of owning your results 
• Taking responsibility for your success 
• Why judging and blaming yourself is not part of owning your results
• How to reject thoughts that are not welcome in your brain

You might be good at owning your results in one area of your life but need a little help applying it to another, or maybe you struggle with it across the board. Either way, this episode is here to help you out. Tune in to get started!

How do you meet yourself where you’re at?

This is something that I’m going through in my life right now and I want to talk about it. We tend to be pretty judgmental of ourselves when we’re not where we think we should be. The truth is, you deserve compassion from yourself no matter where you’re at. It’s  a lot easier to make a plan to move forward if you can meet yourself where you’re at with kindness first. 

In this episode of the Weight Loss for Busy Physicians podcast, I’m sharing four questions for you to ask yourself and reflect on to help you assess where you’re at right now. 

Topics covered in this episode include:

• How to listen to your body 
• What it really means to meet yourself where you’re at
• The importance of understanding your “why”
• The steps that will help you identify and get comfortable with where you’re at 

If you’re tired of beating yourself up, I’m here for you. Let me support you in this episode.

“Failure is the information you need to get where you’re going.” -Rick Rubin

I heard this quote as I was listening to Rick Rubin’s audiobook and it got me thinking about how we approach our relationships with failure. This is something that comes up over and over again because we all tend to be pretty hard on ourselves for failing. What if we embraced failure as something that we need on our path to success?

In this episode, I’m talking about how to reframe your relationship with failure. Sometimes you will try new things and they will fail. Does that mean you should never try something new ever again? Of course not! That’s how you figure out what works for you and what doesn’t. Sometimes you have to fail to move forward, and that’s a good thing!

Topics covered in this episode include:

• Why we need failure 
• Changing the way you talk to yourself 
• The key to long-term success and lasting results

Join me in this episode as we get comfortable with failure.

How much time do you spend out in nature?

When I started spending more time in nature, I noticed a huge improvement in how I felt and now it’s something that I prioritize all year round. For me, it usually looks like taking my dog for a walk around the neighborhood or at the park, but for you it might look like eating your lunch on the patio, spending time by the lake or the ocean, taking a quick walk on your lunch break, or something else entirely! 

Often we forget to reverse-engineer what we’re doing when we feel great so that we can remember how to recreate it when we don’t feel so good. Spending time in nature is one of those things for me, and I hope it will be for you too. 

In this episode of Weight Loss for Busy Physicians, I’m sharing the benefits of spending time in nature and some ideas to help get you outside even if it’s tricky with your schedule. 

Topics covered in this episode include:

• The benefits of spending more time in nature 
• How to find time to get outside 
• Ways to spend more time in nature without going for a walk 

If you’re looking for ways to boost your mood and feel better in your body, I think you’ll find some inspiration in this episode.
