Are you sick and tired of dieting, having a crap relationship with food, and fear looking in the mirror every day? We struggle to love and be at peace with our bodies and our journey that we call life. I want to help you see what the $70 + billion dieting industry has done to us collectively over the years. I want to break down and debunk what's NOT working, and it's NOT your fault, and how to take massive action into the happiest and healthiest version of yourself.

In this Episode, You'll Learn:

·       $$$$$$: The Diet and weight loss industry has grown to over $70 billion in 2021

·       FAILING: Did you know research shows that 95% of diets fail

·       EVERY TIME YOU DIET: We end up taking a rule with us. Before you know it, you're ten rules in and feeling frustrated AF.

·       IT'S NOT YOU: It's the diet that's failing you.

·       WE NEED FOOD: To survive, so it's tough to cut out something we need. It's about finding balance with it.

·       YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD: What does your personal relationship with food look like? Asking yourself this question can help you see the barriers you've put up over time to help you lose weight for good.

·       CALORIE SURPLUS: 3,500 extra calories = 1 pound of fat

·       STOP THE CYCLE: The awful cycle of "starting on Monday."

·       QUICK FIXES: We live in a world of quick fixes, always trying to find out how to we can take shortcuts to find ways to make the process go faster. This only harms us in the end.

FREEDOM FROM DIETING: With the proper structure, accountability, and system, you can help set you free from "dieting."

Holy crap, my friends, can you fricking believe that we've come upon the year anniversary of pandemic life? When everything started to shut down, and we all felt this sense of uncertainty, we had no idea what the months following would bring. But here we are, a newer, resilient, and more powerful version of ourselves. Today I wanted to share the incredible lessons and takeaways that my clients and I have learned as we navigated through this bizarre time.

In Today’s Episode we’ll be Learning About:

·      LETTING GO: We had to learn on the next level how to let go of control. Seeing that life can change overnight and allowing yourself to roll with the punches and not try to plan every second of every day.

·      SHEDDING LIGHT: What doesn't kill us makes us stronger. Although this year has challenged us in ways we never thought possible; We've become stronger.

·      MINDFUL: Becoming more mindful and present has helped me move from more gratitude for everything I have (not what I don't have) Moved from lack to appreciation

·      PROCESSING: Big lesson I've learned on the next level was properly processing and feeling my emotions. When a feeling comes up, gain awareness, accept, and move through life challenges.

·      COMMUNITY: How much closer we've become to one another, leaned in on friends for support, and have our neighbor's backs.
