Welcome to this short but sweet episode season 2 of the new podcast Transcend Your Health. During this rebirth I have let go of all that hasn't served me or my goals and have embraced all that I know I want and how I want to show up for you. As I elevate, so does my work and I cannot wait to share all that is new and fresh for you. Thank you for sticking around, thank you for listening and now let's get ready to TRANSCEND!
How do you get unstuck? Think about an area of your life where you feel held back. Today I’ll explain how to boost your creativity and increase your ability to think divergently—to come up with lots of new ideas
Your daily dose of inspiration. Allow yourself to show up in your life and let what is supposed to come...come. Resistance causes pain. Surrender and see the beauty unfold.
You have permission to switch lanes. It is okay to pivot and adjust you life so that you stay aligned, fulfilled and happy. People are always going to have their opinion, many have one of you now but it just isn't voiced so stop letting the "What If's," cloud your dreams and start giving yourself love and make that change you are aching to do and watch how amazing your life can truly be.
The scale. That awful device that leaves so many of us feeling defeated, frustrated and not worthy of our efforts that we truly ARE making in our journey to better health and fat loss. Today I talk about the 10 signs of progress that many of you are not recognizing but in fact are signs of progress that should be celebrated.
You ever sit and wonder how come I am not as far as I should be in my (insert noun here) fitness, relationship, work, finances, etc?
I don’t claim to have it all figured out but I do know that how you approach one area in your life is how you do all things in life. So today I want to show your that you success is a direct correlation to how you do or don’t do the work it takes to be successful in different areas of your life.
We are all a set of patterns and habits. If you have ever wondered, “Why don’t I do what I say I’m going to do? Why don’t I lose the weight or stop smoking or save for retirement or start that side business? The answer is all in how you respond to your internal and external cues of life.
The key to creating good habits and breaking bad ones is to understand these fundamental factors and learning how to alter them to fit your needs and goals.
Today, I will explain the four stages and fundamentals of habits and the ways you CAN change them.
When I say shift your identity, I am saying going from who you are now to who you want to become. Your identity shifts with your actions. When you are in constant action doing the same things you do every day, you are going to stay that person. Today, I want to show you how to shift your actions so that you can live into a new identity and be a better version of yourself.
Happiness is a slippery slope of emotions that generally tend to be due to external circumstances. Fulfillment is like happiness on steroids. Fulfillment is consistent and has room for the full range of emotional experiences. Today I will share with you the difference and how chasing happy rarely has a happy ending.
Fear is a contemplation process that we do when we think about assign meaning to things or situations before even taking action. It is usually created by announcing three little words that you say each time you need to think about something.
Today I talk about what is fear is, why it is so scary and how to overcome it.
Today I take you through the three types of live you could be living right now and how you can break the chains, get out of comfort and live a highly sustain and FULL life. Let's dive in. Enjoy!
The past has no power over you. What your past can do is give you clues as to why you have certain beliefs and how those beliefs stifle you from achieving the confidence and desire to reach your goals and have your idea of success. Today I will show you how to identify your limiting beliefs, understand them, accept them and let them go so that you can rewrite a new story that supports the life you want to WIN.
I want to talk about a macro level we understand intellectually we make decisions on a daily basis. We just do them so quickly we don’t realize that we even made a decision.
So today I want to offer you my 3 tips on how to decide and plan so that every time you make a life changing decision you can execute it and win every time.
We believe our character is fixed but friends it's not and it is that fixed mindset of beliefs that stands in your way of attaining inner freedom.
Today, I am going to talk to you about why letting go can be difficult but also how your willingness to let go of the person you used to be creates a space for the person you have you have either always been or want to become.
Enjoy!
In order to break through any barrier, you have to practice a new skill. Regardless of what it is, if it is something new that is not a true habit of yours yet, it is going to take practice in order to make it a part of your life. What stops us is fear and today I want to share with you how to break through that fear so that you can have the breakthroughs you truly want to experience.
Enjoy!

The word ‘discipline’ tends to carry a negative air because we tend to be ‘disciplined’ when we do something bad or wrong in life.
Today I want to offer you to see discipline as a way of freedom and the secret to your success. Enjoy!
I want to talk about cutting yourself some slack. We all make mistakes. It is a part of being human. We are so quick to fix others but have a hard time supporting our faults. Today I want to offer you why you should have more compassion for yourself and how not giving yourself break can do more harm than good.
Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right. In the very end it comes down to if you will or won't.
Each of us has an enormous amount of potential within us.
Nothing can keep you from your goals except you and the question is never CAN you succeed but will you CHOOSE to succeed. Today, I talk about the difference in your success just by changing the way you state your claim.
Imagine yourself as a great chef that has unlimited ingredients in your kitchen. You set out to make a creation. As a great chef you understand and know how to easily combine the ingredients you need in order to make the creation you desire. Today, I talk about how like a skilled cook you have all the ingredients you need and have access ones that you don't to create the life you desire.
Eating is an emotional and social event. We gather with friends and family almost daily to eat. Whether it is at the kitchen table, a birthday, a wedding, or a funeral, food is at the heart of every event.
Today I am answering a client question that I think we can all relate to which is how to go out and still be in control and stay on point with calories when around so much good food.

Today I want to talk about the all or nothing attitude that so many people have with things like food, exercise, relationships and work.
When we over-rely on cognitive distortions, we usually interpret events in such a way that fuels emotions such as anxiety, depression, or anger. All-or-nothing thinking is one such distortion.
In this episode I will show you a new way to look at and approach circumstances in your like from another perspective.
In this Monday edition I want you to think about who YOU really are. Today's world is so bombarded with influences that we all seem to be trying to be keeping up with the Joneses.
What would it look like if we stopped identifying with things we THINK others find impressive and started finding the ROI for our own life?
There is no such thing as the perfect time and there never will be. Now don’t get me wrong. I am not saying do any and everything without throwing caution to the wind. What I am saying is stop thinking small.
Today, I want to challenge you and your thoughts about what you THINK you can't do and show you that if you stop the all-or-nothing mentality and start doing the work that your I can'ts can become I can.
So it’s 2019. We are two weeks away from ending the month of January and my question is how many of you have kept your new year, new me resolutions?

Today I want to help you develop, plan and execute a goal so on Dec 31 2019 you are still doing coming in hot with what you said you wanted at the beginning of the year.
I want to talk about the process of change. I think a lot of people associate change by changing a habit, and yes that is a change but often times we just switch habits that still allow us to buffer through life.
So today, I want to help you with the process of change that will help you get the TRUE results you want which is WHY you want to make a change in the first place. I mean why make a change when what you’re changing results in the same thing that you were doing in the first place.
When you think of transformation what comes to mind? Something you can measure like the number on the scale or inches around your waist?
I used to think that too, but what I want to offer you is a new idea of transformation. An idea that I had to learn in order to even begin my journey of fat loss and food freedom.

We all have them. Those pesky urges that usually scream out at us at night, calling for attention to eat ice cream, cookies or cake. But you don't have to give in. Nope, and today I am going to explain just what an urge is, how to manage them (like a child), why it is NOT the urge that is tough to deal with but the emotion behind it.
Today I am talking to you about the internal and external cues of hunger. Why we start and stop eating, how to recognize and resist urges and how to be aware of your eating patterns and cues.
Health coaches like myself like to do "craving hacks"—discovering the "why" beneath the craving so you can stop it. Physically, your body may be trying to tell you that it's lacking nutrients that you intentionally or unintentionally deprived it of during the day.
Today, I share with you 5 ways you can start to alleviate those nighttime cravings.

This is normal especially when you take a person who has gone from eating any and everything they want, not looking a portion size or caring about how much they are eating can be hard, difficult and does have some level of discomfort. The idea of fat loss is to be able to take in less calories than what we expend. Be able to make the new diet fun, sustainable and desirable. Fat loss should not be dreadful, it should not leave you feeling deprived and should not make you want to throw in the towel within the first week of starting. Today I go over 6 ways to manage your hunger and cravings so that you can win each day and bring yourself closer to your goals.
No matter how established your personal mindfulness practice is, sometimes you can use a little extra inspiration.

Today I give you my 10 favorite mindful messages that remind and motivate me on a daily basis when I need it.
It’s important to note that before you start believing new things and thinking new thoughts, the first step is to become aware of what you already believe. Next, you need to practice, on purpose, thinking new thoughts that will serve you.
So today I am going to show you how to challenge the negative thoughts that arise with questions you can ask yourself to put that negativity your brain is making you believe with truths that are more aligned with your inner being.
