We all have those days, weeks, months, even, when we're just feeling down.
We don't want to do the things, we feel ourselves slipping back into old habits but can't muster up the oomph to do anything about it except feel really badly about ourselves for undoing all our hard work.
If that's at all familiar to you, congrats, you're human.
This bite-sized episode is one you can queue up anytime you need a little pick-me-up.

It's not comfortable or pleasant to talk about but losing a parent - and grief, in general - is inevitable and today's conversation with grief coach, Jacey Keller, will help you be prepared.
Whether you've just experienced a loss, your parents are alive and well, or you're supporting a loved one through their own loss, you'll get something out of today's episode.
We talk about how to not lose yourself to a caregiving role, navigating acute grief right after a loss, how to get yourself to the point where you start taking care of yourself, again, and the best ways to be there while others are grieving.
When Jacey was 17, she lost her mother on Valentine’s Day after a 6-year battle with colon cancer. As a senior in high school, she didn’t know what resources were available.
Jacey ended up gaining over 40lbs as a result of overeating in grief. She battled insomnia and failed her college classes.
She went on to build a life with her husband, two kids, and a career she loves and is passionate about.
Jacey is a certified life coach who helps people rebuild life after losing a parent.
Whether it’s losing the grief weight, navigating family conflict, making decisions…
She is an expert at helping you gain a clear perspective. She helps you make the most intentional decisions in grief with confidence.
You will find her by her desk in cozy slippers, sipping on a caffeinated ICE drink, while focusing on her mission.
Jacey's mission is to help you remove the heaviness of grief so you can build a life you love again.Follow her on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rebuildyourlife.griefcoachFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100071519215475&mibextid=sCpJLyResources:Sunset Stories podcastWidowed Mom podcastGrief to Hope Support Group

How many times have you scrambled to make dinner after a stressful workday followed by chauffeuring kids around to miscellaneous afterschool activities?
You go to the trouble because sitting down for a family meal, even just once a week, is important to you.

Most of us have an inner voice who's pretty critical and can be loud at times (sometimes what feels like all the time).
Having that voice is normal and a byproduct of our brain always being on the lookout for threats to our safety.

She has extensive experience in learning and behavior change and has been developing mental health tools since 2009. Her expertise is in helping people to use their inner voice as their superpower to get what they want out of life. Her background in pharmacology and neuroscience helps her create programs and products for effective health behavior change. Cynthia started InnerAlly after having a profound recovery experience with implementing self-compassion in her own life, and now she facilitates live and online trainings and private programs to help others to make their own breakthroughs. InnerAlly celebrates the power of creating a kind and supportive inner voice to change your life for the better.

Ya know that cycle of wanting to lose weight, committing to whatever diet or workout program, being "good" for a few days, and then falling off and struggling to start again?
We all do, so don't think there's something wrong with you.
On today's episode, I'm interiewing Gary Fahey about why change is so hard and how we can reprogram our brains to make it way easier to do the stuff that'll help us reach the goals we care about.
Founder of Strong Men’d and NeuroStoic Solutions, Gary Fahey is an executive life strategist, mental strength and performance specialist, highly sought-after speaker and bestselling author who embodies the mantra of “Lived it, Learned it, Earned it.” His unique Brutal Honesty brand was forged through 18 years with the Australian Federal Police, where he led the Australian Prime Minister’s Personal Protection Team and managed the Office of Commissioner, however his passion for the psychology of peak performance, mental strength and resilience was born following his own fall from grace.
A deep, dark and destructive (silent) battle with mental health and gambling addiction cost him $2 million, his career, his reputation and saw him question the value of his own life – but he refused to go down without a fight. Utilising a combination of formal and informal education, expert coaching and mentoring, trial and error, hard work and just a pinch of pain, Gary developed his own practical systems and strategies for success.
Gary has worked with, studied under and learned from experts around the world in neuroscience, psychology, peak performance, mental health and habit formation and holds a Masters in Brain and Mind Sciences (specialising in peak performance and leadership), an MBA (specialising in organisational strategy and culture) and a Bachelors degree in Health Science to compliment his ‘on the job’ experience working with high performing individuals, teams and businesses to overcome obstacles in their own search for purpose and peak performance.

Cravings - we all have em, and most of us struggle with knowing what to do about them.
Not for long.
Today I'm joined by Dr. Glenn Livingston, who literally wrote the book on how to defeat your cravings.
Learn what actually causes them (it's not what you think) and how to break the cycle where you give in to them, beat yourself up about it, rinse, and repeat.
Once you know exactly what to do to make cravings go dormant, you'll be so much more successful at overcoming them!
Dr. Glenn Livingston, an expert in overeating and binge eating, is renowned for his book "Never Binge Again," which has helped over a million readers. His latest release, "Defeat Your Cravings," extends and updates his earlier work, drawing from vast experience and scientific research on cravings and societal influences on eating behavior. This free resource offers practical benefits, including reducing cravings, decreasing instances of giving in, and fostering a shift in focus from food to life fulfillment.
Dr. Livingston's unique approach, shaped by decades of work with clients and self-funded research, stands apart from traditional psychology and self-help books on food-related issues. His own journey from food obsession to a healthy relationship with food adds a personal and relatable touch to his expertise, while his work has been featured in prominent publications and media outlets, further underscoring the value of his insights.

Mike Doehla helped over 50,000 clients reach their weight loss goals before selling his nutrition consulting company, Stronger U, and even in retirement, continues to help clients and coaches, alike.
Today he's joining me to talk about how to become a better food detective.

At 40 Mike officially retired after selling his nutrition coaching company, Stronger U. After becoming one of Americas fastest growing companies without paid marketing, hiring 100+ coaches, and helping people around the world lose more than a million pounds, he felt his job was done and it was time for change.

Let's call a spade a spade and acknowledge that losing weight can feel really F'ing hard, sometimes.
Developing mental toughness is really important if you don't want to give up any time things feel difficult.
When most of us hear the term "tough," we think of a masculine, militant, no-pain-no-gain type attitude.
What if that was all wrong?
Today's episode is a review of a book called Do Hard Things by Steve Magness and it'll help you redefine how you see toughness.
I'm sharing my biggest takeaways from the book for developing unwavering confidence, setting better goals, and taking back control of your life.
You know that you don't want your kids to develop the same body image and food related issues that you picked up on from your mom but HOW do you make sure they don't, especially when you're actively trying to lose weight?
It IS possible and that's exactly what I'm talking about with today's guest, Michelle Maidenberg.
Learn how to communicate with your kids about food, exercise, and their bodies in a way that sets them up for a healthy and sane future.
(And make sure you listen until the very end when Michelle shares how to make sure that a little slip up with your diet doesn't turn into a complete fall off the wagon!)

Do you realize how important the way you talk to yourself is?
What we say about food and our bodies is a major predictor of how we eat and care for ourselves.
What you're currently saying to yourself almost guarantees that you'll continue engaging in the same behaviors and gettin the same outcomes.
The key, then, to changing your behaviors and the results you get from them, is to change the way you're talking to yourself.
Good news - you have 100% power over your self-talk.
In today's episode I'm reviewing Words to Eat By by Karen Koenig and you'll learn what is useful vs useless self-talk, understand why you've been stuck in unhealthy patterns for so long, and how to make your self-talk conscious, constructive, and serving of a higher purpose, including the exact words to say to yourself in moments when you're faced with immediate food, exercise, and body image, related challenges.

Ever feel like sex is just another thing on the To Do list that you'd rather keep putting off?
You're not alone and you're not broken!
SO many women don't look forward to or enjoy sex -- and it's largely not for the reasons you'd think!
Today I'm joined by mental health and sex therapist, Courtney Boyer, who literally wrote the book on this, called "Not Tonight, Honey."
Listen and learn how we've ended up here and what you can do about it.
Courtney Boyer, M.Ed., M.S. is a relationship and sexuality expert and author of Not Tonight, Honey: Why women actually don't want sex and what we can do about it. Courtney believes we can reclaim our power through our sexuality and she helps her clients to infuse passion and creativity into their lives by helping them uncover what's preventing them from connecting with their priorities and purpose.
As her work in this field develops, Courtney is drawn to the emerging fields of epigenetics, neuropsychology and energy work. She is trained in evidence-based methods like NLP, EMDR, IFS, and trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

After almost 20 years of coaching hundreds of women to lose weight, I feel pretty confident that the #1 issue standing in the way for most is having an all-or-nothing mentality toward their goals.
This approach is what causes the fluctuations from doing it all, to it all falling apart.
If there's one thing that needs to change in order to be more successful at actually reaching your goals and then keeping the weight off, it's this.
Tune in to find out exactly what it looks like to break out of this pattern and start taking a more gradual and sustainable approach.

A week or two into our Gone For Good coaching program, Liz was feeling like a new woman: energy through the roof, headaches gone, finally getting glimpses of feeling like herself.
And then as life has a way of doing, the perfect storm of "life stuff" knocked her down a few pegs.
Normally self-motivated, she couldn't bring herself to do, well, anything except for lay on the couch.
She could have wallowed in the "grind" she was experiencing but she did something else, instead.
She reached out to her coach, Amber, and told her how she was feeling. She made it a priority to attend group coaching calls to surround herself with the support she needed to pull herself out of this funk.
And it worked! Instead of this doom and gloom sticking around for weeks and really setting her back, within a week she was feeling just as good as she had been. The improvements of learning to put the right fuel in her body and letting go of the dozens of food "rules" that had been bogging her down were undeniable and they've just kept coming.
Tune into this episode as Liz and I discuss how leaning on your support system can expedite your results, how to feel comfortable reaching out for help when you have a problem you don't know the answer to, and some of the non-scale benefits that are making Liz's life so much easier and more enjoyable!

Losing weight is so much harder when no one supports you.
Feeling alone and ostracized in your efforts is a shortcut to giving up on your goals with a quickness.
But sometimes what seems like a lack of support is actually something else entirely.
In this episode, I'm diving into all the reasons why people who love you might seem to not support your goals -- and how to stay committed to them, regardless.

I know you hear a lot about how important it is to treat yourself with compassion, to learn to trust yourself, and to want to change from a place of love rather than self-hatred but easier said than done, right?
Today I'm joined by therapist-turned-mindfulness-and-self-love-coach, Karel Chan, who's sharing with us a specific tool called the RAIN practice that will help you actually DO those things.
When done consistently, this practice can help you reduce or even completely eliminate cravings for food, booze, cigarettes, or whatever is your default coping mechanism.
Tune in to learn what RAIN is and how you can start using it today.
Karel Chan is a licensed therapist and mindfulness and self love coach. Anchored Awakening is her coaching practice, guiding passionate, high-achieving women to heal from heartbreak, shame, and self loathing through inner child work and authentic self love. She has healed multiple mental and emotional wounds using mindfulness, self love, and self compassion, and it is her mission to help others do the same. She lives in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with the most amazing pup and spends her time deepening her spiritual practice, knitting and designing knitting patterns, and enjoying connected friendships.

Getting older does NOT mean resigning yourself to living out the rest of your days on a rocker on the front porch and today's guest, Jimeane, is all the evidence you'll need of that.
Married to her marathon running husband for 45 years, she was unwilling to accept that getting older would mean being overweight and sedentary.

Now? She's reduced her cholesterol by 65 POINTS, lost more than 14 pounds, more than 20 inches, and has the energy to watch the majority of her grandkids all summer!
Get ready to be inspired by Jimeane's positive outlook and willingness to learn new things so she can live her best life.

Moving back to the US after 3 years in Germany opened my eyes to just how difficult it is to lose weight (or keep it off) in the US.
While there are a lot of improvements we could make on a societal or cultural level, I want you to see the autonomy you have over your choices so you don't feel like a victim of circumstance.
With the heightened awareness you'll have after today's episode, it'll be easier for you to overcome these challenges and be in the minority of Americans who successfully lose weight and keep it off.

If you haven't experienced the "grind," you will.
You probably have, you just may not have heard of it by this name.
The "grind" is when you've been committed to your weight loss goals for 4-6 weeks, have made some progress, but start to feel like you're still working really hard and have very little to show for it.
It's when you're tempted to throw in the towel since what you're doing obviously isn't working, anyway.
It's when you are most prone to giving up but you CAN'T if you want to make more progress than the first few pounds.
Tune in to find out what signs to look for and, most importantly, how to get through the "grind" so you come out the other side stronger, more resilient, and more confident that you can and will reach your goals.

Errin came to EA Coaching after years of trying to lose weight on her own, "doing everything backwards," as she said.
She was exhausted from restricting her food, doing tons of cardio, and the yo yo of seeing the scale drop, only to climb right back up.
She considered just giving up and accepting that she could never be successful at losing weight but then decided to ask for help, instead.
As a leader at work, she realized she was always preaching to her team the importance of leaning on & learning from others - and it could apply here, too.
Now Errin is a successful graduate of our Gone For Good program & is here to share her lessons to inspire you to ask for the help you need, in this - or any - area of your life.

Learn how Natalee has learned to take ownership of her results, to leverage the power of 1:1 coaching, and what advice she has for other women who may be experiencing their own "rock bottom."

Should I track on vacation or no? If I eat whatever I want on Thanksgiving, am I going to ruin all my progress? If I'm craving something, should I have it or a healthier swap? How do I know if I should take a rest day or push thru? When should I say "no" to a food pusher and when is it easier to just give in?
I see all of these questions so often and although we want there to be black-and-white answer, the truth is, it depends.
I'm giving you 4 questions to ask yourself to make decisions for yourself based on your individual circumstances and not the loud opinions of people on the internet.

Maybe you've heard the term "emotional intelligence" before but it might feel too abstract to be useful.
This week I'm joined by EI Educator, Ashley Valliere, who's teaching us what EI even is, why we need it, and sharing practical tips to work on developing it.
We even dive into how EI can help you overcome emotional eating!
In Ashley’s 15 year journey working with people (as a personal fitness trainer, massage therapist, and now completing her Bodynamic muscular psychotherapy program) she noticed some peculiar things with her clients over the years. Most notably emotional outbursts in sessions (anger, sadness, shame ect); as well, she took a special interest in people's posture and body language. These curiosities began a decade long search for the missing link between brain and body. Her specialities are in decoding the body, learning how to navigate how it communicates and emotional intelligence.

What would you say is the #1 reason you struggle to reach their goals?
If you're like most Americans, it comes down to a lack of willpower.
Or does it?

What would you say is the #1 reason you struggle to reach their goals?
If you're like most Americans, it comes down to a lack of willpower.
Or does it?

Our favorite registered dietitian, Lauren, is here with us again. In addition to being a part of the EA Coaching team, she is also a single mom to her son and works full-time in a clinical setting.
Body composition can seem pretty confusing when you’re starting out on your weight loss journey.
There are a lot of different metrics out there, but when it comes down to it, the goals and priorities that mean the most are based on regular, everyday things like wanting to feel comfortable in our clothes or being able to go shopping and not end up in tears in the dressing room. We want to make it to the end of the day, playing with our kids and not yelling at them because we're tired and achy and sore and irritable. We want to have the energy to get through our workday. We want to enjoy our lives.
If your goal, like most of us, is to look and feel good and move without pain and have energy, then that's not really riding on a specific number.
It’s also why we talk so much about non-scale victories. Maybe you’ve experienced a period of time where you aren’t seeing results on the scale, but you know that your clothes fit better.
This is what body re-composition is all about. It means changing the ratio of lean mass to fat mass in your body.
In this episode, Lauren and I discuss the approach to weight loss that emphasizes the importance of not only losing fat, but also gaining muscle.
We also touch on how changes in your body composition look differently at different stages of your weight loss journey, non-scale methods of tracking your progress and common myths and misconceptions about body composition.
Connect with Lauren on Instagram
You’ll Learn:
- What body composition is (and what it means for your weight loss)
- 4 ways to change your body composition
- How to know whether a plateau in your weight is a result of building muscle and losing fat or if you’re just not making progress
- What to prioritize when you want to build lean muscle

If you have young kids, there's a pretty good chance you spend a good chunk of your evening hours getting them to bed, potentially laying in their dark room for hours until they fall asleep and you can crawl your way to safety.
No wonder we feel like we have so little time to ourselves!
Today's guest, Jessica Berk, is a toddler sleep coach who is sharing with us 3 easy ways that moms can add time into their day by speeding up kids' bedtime.
She's spent the last 7 years perfecting a foolproof framework, the REST Method™, to turn toddlers into independent sleepers and has helped thousands of families with even the most strong-willed kids get them to bed happily before 8pm and sleeping through the night - no wake ups.

How often do you set goals you never reach? Or tell yourself you're not going to do a certain thing and then do it, anyway?
Most of us can relate to not following through on the things we say we're going to do but don't necessarily realize the damage we're doing in the process.
Today's episode with EA Head Coach, Meg Davis, is about the concept of self-reputation and how you can start rebuilding yours.
Meet Brooke: I know you'll be able to relate to her story of losing a significant amount of weight before having kids but finding herself in a different position after having little ones.
She was a self-proclaimed "serial diet switcher" who was stuck in the 10-15 pound yo-yo for years.
She came to EA Coaching after turning 40 and deciding that it was time to break that cycle.
Listen to her wins having now completed 12-weeks of 1:1 coaching and as she shares her insights and lessons learned.

No matter how long it takes you to lose weight, you'll very most likely have many more years of maintenance ahead of you.
And yet, we spend very little time thinking about whether what we're doing to lose weight actually feels maintainable or how to navigate the transition from one to the other.
This episode pulls back the curtain on how we approach the shift with clients and how much (or little) is actually different when you reach your goal weight.

Meet Patty: We started working together right before the pandemic changed everything.

Ever feel like literally everyone else is losing weight faster & more easily than you are?
They're not! You're just looking thru a lens that has you fixating on the rapid weight loss you see all over social media, which is NOT most women's experience (nor is it usually healthy or long-lasting!)
This week's episode is all about normalizing "slow" weight loss and why it's actually better than losing faster.

If vacations usually mean eating and drinking all the things, coming back 5+ pounds heavier than you left, and spending the rest of the month digging yourself out of the hole you ate yourself into, OR, being miserable because you don't feel comfortable indulging or being at all out of routine, listen up.
