“I go into the kitchen absolutely starving and I think “What can I make that’s quick?!  I see the potatoes, and I think ‘I could cook up those potatoes, but that’s too hard…”

What if your refrigerator was always stocked with healthy, delicious food?  Then eating healthy would be EASY!  But...it takes so much work!  It's so hard!  It takes too much time!  And...I don't know what I'm doing!

"Take your power back."  I've heard that phrase so many times, but what does it really mean, and how do you do it?  Because disempowered is what we've been feeling lately with COVID-19.  Like there's nothing we can do! 

Empowerment is realizing that you have control over the results in your life, even when you can't control everything around you. When you understand that it isn't the stuff around you that is keeping you down, you start to feel hopeful, motivated and are willing to take action.

Empowered is one of the biggest things I hear people say at the end of our coaching calls, and it's why I LOVE this work!

If life were just a little bit different, then I'd be a little bit happier, Right?  That's exactly what you and many of Sarah Payne's Clients are thinking!  Sarah is a mom, a life coach, and a doctors' wife who works with other doctor's wives.  She describes how so many of them hold out for the "pot of gold at the end of the rainbow."

They live through years of medical school and residency supporting their husbands...holding out for the day when things are going to be better.  When their husband is a doctor, they'll actually have money.  Their husband won't be gone all of the time, and everything will be perfect.

But they get there and find that that just isn't true!  

So, instead of holding out for the rainbow or that day that we win the lottery, we could be making that day happen right now.  Because, you don't have to wait for life to be perfect in order to feel happy!

 If you think you aren't a people pleaser, think again!   In fact, it's one of the biggest stressors that I coach people on.  And it makes total sense...We're wired for survival in the tribe, reproduction, connection.   So it would make sense that we'd want people to like us.

But this worry gets in the way sometimes.  It makes us act out of fear and try to do what we think other people will want rather than honoring what we really want OR doiong it out of genuine love for them.  

Find out if you are a people pleaser in this episode, and what you can do about it.

Yoga is one of the best and trendiest ways to stress less.  It helps you tap into your breathing, clear out some of the clutter that is keeping you stuck, and it's great exercise!  But you may be a little bit intimidated by it...

My friend Rachel Raymond is here to talk to us about her personal journey with yoga, how you can use it to stress less, and why yoga is something that is accessible to all!

The best way to reduce stress on the body is through a healthy diet.  That's why I'm always talking about eating more plants!  Today I'm sharing my religious beliefs about diet with this document from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. 

This revelation was received in the 1800's and has some really insightful guidelines about food choices.  This episode should be interesting to those new to my faith.  And, if you are already a member of this church, this episode may challenge some of your beliefs about what The Word of Wisdom really means.

That’s how I felt for so many years...ugly and frumpy.  Chubby, out of fashion and covered with acne.

But body image issues are way more than skin deep.  And, we hear so many times that we should “love and accept where we are right now.”  But, how do you do that when you hate your body?

Im sharing my experiences and how I decided that I was beautiful...because it is just a decision.

I’m still stuck in the hotel on vacation with this one, so no great intro or outtro here.  But, I hope you’ll enjoy it regardless because I speak from my heart!


And, if you’re ready to make these strides for yourself, join me in a free coaching session, details below!

If you “just don’t think you can do it,” this is the episode for you!  If you feel overwhelmed by trying to go on a plant-based diet, or giving up sugar or any other health change that feels impossible to you, you aren’t alone!

But the good news is that you don’t have to do it all at one time, and every change you make for the better is going to make a HUGE difference.

This episode is a raw, unedited recording since I got stuck at a hotel on vacation without my computer.  But the great news is that it doesn’t have to be all or nothing, even with podcasts! 

Enjoy!

Here are the books/documentary that I mentioned in this episode:

The Gamechangers Documentary (on Netflix or YouTube)
Eat to Live, Joel Furhman
How not to Die, Micheal Gregor
How not to Diet, Micheal Gregor
The Blue Zones, Dan Beuttner
