I help men & women with FULL AF lives drop 20lbs+ DIFFERENTLY with 1:1 coaching and in The ULTRA Life Annual Membership -over 6 months to completely transform & keep the skills & develop lifestyle habits, not a quick fix for a season.
DM me on IG @samanthasreallife to share what's going on and see how I can help you not only actually clearly identify what IS going on, but see how I can help you solve it or recommend next steps with or without me.
You have been getting after your goals, really trying, and are like, 'Tell me what to do - I just need to know what to do!!' If this is you or you are struggling in any way to hit your goals - it's time to take a step back, slow down, and SEE what is really truly going on.
I can provide the personalized plan just for you, but if you don't BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, you don't trust yourself, you don't own who YOU ARE & what YOU want, your preferences, you won't hit your goals.

Today I want to share a concept to EXPAND your timeline to hit your goal to help you STAY COMMITTED vs. the constant start and stop or never start because you already put unrealistic expectations on yourself.
Why? To make it a TRUE LIFESTYLE - YOU change. Not just a quick fix. To actually be able to navigate life that WILL HAPPEN, and still keep going vs. quit and be soooo far off.
If you are planning your 2024 goals, or anytime you are planning your goals, this is a must listen!

These last few weeks I've already started to take notes & start to create my goals & vision for 2024. This time of year, even with the holidays upon us, always has me reflecting on what I've already accomplished this year, how far I've come, how I've grown, what went really well, what didn't, and what I want to DO DIFFERENT in 2024 to create new different results.
It is one of the BEST GIFTS I give to myself & do with my coach.
It allows you to stop making blanket statements, feel less than for where you are, and instead actually see how you have made progress or if you didn't WHY, so you CAN do things different!
Awareness, acknowledgement, celebration and intentional planning are KEYS to being able to create new results, I had a lot of growth in 2023, AND I can feel a MAJOR shift and a lot of MAGIC in store for 2024🔮
Plus, it's the holiday season when there feels like so much MAGIC around us with Santa, Elf on the shelf, and just the joy of believing in the air. I'd love to invite you all together to do the same…To reflect on this past year, learn from it, acknowledge all the wins & what didn't work, to start to imagine and create YOUR MAGICAL year.
What kind of MAGICAL results would you love to create in 2024?!
Join us for a one hour training on this December 15th at 12pm ET
To register for Making Magic in 2024 to be READY to start 2024 acknowledging everything from 2023 to feel at peace with wherever you are and with a plan in place to truly hit your goals in 2024, use the link here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0vcuGrrjMjGdROanB22fkSFDxUCbUxTcW3

This is a short & sweet & POWERFUL episode on shifting your thoughts from, “I have to…go workout. I should eat healthy. I have to get up early.” Which will have you feeling like 😫😑😤 and a victim to your circumstances.
Vs. when you say, “I GET to…go workout. I GET to wake up early!. I GET to work hard towards my goals. I GET to eat healthy.” Which will have you feeling motivated & energized instantly. Try it.
All throughout your day, try shifting to ‘I GET to’ in any area that is challenging you or has you feeling like a victim, that you can't because of XYZ.
I want you all to take this as a TOOL.
Just like you have a hammer, screwdriver, wrench, etc. in your toolbox, you now have this thought, “I GET to,” as a tool in your goals toolbox. Pull it out and use as needed, maybe daily initially, all throughout your day, then eventually weekly or as needed.
Let me know when & how you are using it!! I want to hear from you! DM me @samanthasreallife or tag me.

Charles is a retired father of 4 who's been a runner for 35 years and has literally hundreds of races and other runs, ranging from 5k's to marathons, and up to a trail 200 miler, including about 80 Ultramarathons, not all of which he's actually finished (DNF'd close to 20 races).
Some running highlights and most memorable experiences we talk about include his 200 mile finish, a 100 miler, finishing a loop at the Barkley Marathons back in 2011, finishing a run of the 76 mile Foothills Trail in South Carolina (on his 5th attempt), and more.
*Finding trails - how that lured him in & can lure you into the beauty, fun, adventure & challenge of it and being fully present being on them.
*DNF’ing - Did Not Finish - how in ultras you sign up and don’t always finish them!! Lessons learned from this for life
*’Winging races’ - Charles hardly EVER full on trains, he wings it & is STILL successful!
-The worst choices, make the best stories
*Do YOU - picking races and workouts that call you. Using intuition for your best life.
*We talk about naturally gravitate toward really difficult challenges and the value and intrinsic rewards in any kind of difficult challenge, even if you don't finish.
*And more!!
Most people his age (I'm 64) have become sedentary and stopped taking any kind of risks in their lives. Charles likes to be a positive example that people of any age can push their limits, not only physically, but mentally, and emotionally as well in order to enrich their lives and become healthier and more fulfilled versions of themselves. This is a packed episode with all kinds of takeaways to see what is possible for you!!

And truly, overall, the more you can start to think about the long game, long term goals 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, and even 10 years out, and plan backwards the more you can achieve sustainable results and achieve even more vs. never hitting your goals because you are trying to have them NOW and just quit, start & stop for years.

She is one of my FAVORITE coaches of all time and I highly recommend her podcast & programs to have your BEST relationships.
We talk about several of her POWER concepts in having a 5 star marriage to use for your workouts & health goals! Including:
*The Power of ONE - the idea that one person can change the world, one person can change a marriage. Basically, there is always something WE can do (no matter what our partners do)
*'A 5-Star Marriage' - what what it be like to go from a motel marriage to a 5 Star marriage?! Take this for your health goals! Do you have a motel health life?! What would it take to get to a 3 star health life, and even a 5 star relationship with your body/health?!
*Decide your minimum standard to start to love your body more?
*'No complaining, No Defending' aka Emotional Weightloss - When you remove these two things you get to figure out what you REALLY need to work on. (the no flour, no sugar, for your relationship)
*And more!!
She is the creator of The Marriage MBA Program, a 6 month mentorship in creating a successful marriage using principles from positive psychology, cognitive science and simple coaching tools that you can learn today and apply tomorrow.
Maggie is the author of the best selling Questions for Couples Journal which has over 3,000 4 star ratings on Amazon. And she is the host of the The Marriage Life Coach Podcast which is consistently ranked among the top 2 percent podcasts out of over 2 million podcasts tracked by ListenNotes.
When she isn’t teaching or coaching she loves obsessing over Formula 1 Racing, Bridgerton, reading fan fiction, sexy romance novels and watching superhero movies and Mexican Rom Coms with her hubby. If you want to learn how to stop doing the things that poison the love in a relationship and start doing the things that make love stronger, you can find the tools to create your best marriage at MaggieReyes.com.

If you want to know how to DO the things you don't 'feel like doing', that feel SO uncomfortable- you'll want to listen to this episode.
Instead of 'grinding through' the hard things, by making those uncomfortable things more comfortable, you WILL DO THEM vs ditch them.
For example, if you are tired after work and don't feel like working out, to explore what will make that feeling of uncomfortable because you are tired and eh, more comfortable, so you show up and do it...things like modifying the workout -if it really was a long day, you could do a 30 minute vs 60 min run, you could add motivational youtube videos to feel motivated, you could have some caffeine, just to name a few ways to make that initially uncomfortable feeling to workout, more comfortable, so you show up and do it! That is just one example, tune in to hear all the different tangible ways and the one question to ask yourself no matter what it is!

Interview time! Bobby Campos, a Hybrid Athlete with a focus on weightlifting, triathlon and ultrarunning, is my guest today and he has several powerful stories to inspire you to go after your BIG goals!! We start with his sweat story - how he started overweight growing up and then in college living the normal college life until he found bodybuilding. Then...
*Trained for an Ironman with only 8 weeks to go - HOW he did that mentally & physically.
*Got out of shape over Covid like many did, but came back & got out of stuck by signing up for and training for a 50 mile ultramarathon with only 8 weeks
Lessons:
*Commit to the goal, no matter where you are NOW. Aka, start messy and imperfect!
*Change what you are LISTENING too - that are positive & productive.
*The power of having the RIGHT support & multiple levels of support to help you reach your goal.
*Going for BIG goals while working 6 days a week & lots of variation in his schedule & still having to DO life.
Quote from Bobby: “Just say screw it, and do it!” - aka go for the goal regardless of where your starting point is!!

My 100 mile race is being MODIFIED. Instead of a 100 mile race, I will now run from sunrise to sunset, this Saturday, September 9th.
I'm sharing the why behind it and the LESSONS I learned from this training season to make this change & how you can take these lessons to go after YOUR big goals & know it is okay to modify & that is actually how goals & growth work!
-Learn what signs to look out for that are telling you something & you need to listen to and evaluate then vs when you are burned out & just say F*ck it and quit.
-Learn how to have your own self awareness to keep finding what is right for YOU & this particular season in life vs. life that once was.
-And more!

This is one of my favorite stories from ultra running! When I ran the 6hr Resolution Run ultra race with no training, had zero expectations - in fact I told myself it was totally okay to walk if I needed or wanted to, had gone out the night before, and blew my own mind by running 35.6 miles that day, taking first place female and 2nd place overall for the 6hr race!
This is a story for YOU. It's one I share with my clients all the time to show them what is REALLY possible when you show up, when you have fun, and that you can really do more than you think. Enjoy!!

Becca Pike is a wife and mom of 4 young kids as well as an avid athlete and wine lover. At age 25, Becca found herself still bartending and scraping pennies together to sustain her less-than-exciting lifestyle of non-stop double shifts and restaurant over-time. After hitting an emotional and financial rock bottom, Becca turned a new leaf and dove head first into learning everything she could about business-owning. 7 years later, she finds herself the owner and founder of a 7-figure/30-employee service-based business as well as the Owner/Founder of a multiple six figure online business-coaching company.
I wanted to have Becca on to share what's possible for you - in life. Even with 4 kids, a relationship, and continuing to workout & be an athlete, she was able to build and grow two different businesses. She is such an example of what is possible and gives us all the inside scoop on how it was possible and what you can do to live a thriving life in all areas, including tips from her 6 & 7 figure business side that apply to your 6 & 7 figure HEALTH side of life!
Becca is so real, so authentic, and down to earth. I know you'll enjoy this conversation & take away so much value to use in your life with your goals!

How can you make your plan way more SIMPLE, to get WAY MORE results??
Are you trying to do alllll the things, have tried to do more, make your diet/eating plan complicated, same for workouts - do more, all the things, listen to all the gurus, read all the books, so much so that you don't actually have a SUPER SIMPLE PLAN that you will do?!
Most of us try to do it all, try to do more, think we can do it all, or that it has to be done a certain way to get the results we want.
The reality is most of us OVERTHINK and try to do too much and then never actually implement it because it's too hard or too much vs. simple & doable.
Vs. when you have a simple plan, you DO IT. And when you do something consistently, you WILL GET RESULTS.
-even if they aren't exactly the results you want, they will allow you to get some results to evaluate, tweak, and move forward until you get all that you want.

This one is POWERFUL. I share my story of how I almost quit at mile 85 when running my 100 mile ultramarathon...but didn't and how I came back even faster & finished even with so many circumstances that would have most of us quitting.
I share 5 lessons from this experience that anyone can use in their life to NOT QUIT. To keep going towards the finish line, the final goal, no matter what happens to you.

This is a quick, but POWERFUL episode. Just like we all have and honor what kind of work/career lights us up and we show up for, honor our soulmate and what kind of partner is best for us, we honor what kind of house/car/style lights us up, it is time we HONOR and lean into what kind of eating, work outs, and overall healthy habits light us up, which will therefore have us SHOWING UP...
Which means EASIER & MORE results.
The more we honor who we are and what works for us, the easier it will be to get even better results, and feel way more effortless, fun, and fulfilling - oh, which by the way will have you doing it for life, as a lifestyle, vs. a 'get thin/rich quick' type of deal! Find what you can do for life, and find ASTOUNDING results.
Enjoy!

What RULES are you telling yourself, that are stopping you from showing up and reaching your goals??
Rules that you grew up with, so it's what you have known and done all your life, rules from a previous job or what everyone says you should do, what your partner or friends do and have told you, what a book or article you read said, etc...
Rules like....you can't workout at night, you have to get 8 hours of sleep, you can't....
STOP, and check yourself. Start to break some f*cking RULES and therefore actually create NEW results in your life!!

This episode is about the name change to 'The ULTRA Life' & two lessons for YOU to apply to whatever goals you have and are working towards, to know that there is no 'perfect' recipe to create what you want. There is making a plan, executing, failing, failing, failing, evaluating, then a new plan, and rinse and repeat until you FIND the best weight loss, the best business, the best relationship, the best parenting tools and more for you.
The ULTRA Life name change was made to more authentically capture what we are trying to do here.
My goals for you all are two fold:
1) To go after your 'ULTRA' life - whatever that is for YOU.
If that's starting a business, becoming a stay at home more, or being a mom that also makes 6 figures and has more time than ever with her kids, if that is jumping to new heights in your career, marrying your dream woman/man and starting a family, finally hitting that financial goal, etc. I want you to be able to get inspired, see what is possible, dream big, and have the confidence & ability to say yes to it! Which leads me to my second goal...
2) Have a foundation of healthy habits & be at your BEST weight to feel better, have more energy & confidence to create your ULTRA life.
If you don't feel good about yourself, hate getting dressed in anything, hate your body, shame yourself for how you look or feel, feel frustrated, stressed, tired, overwhelmed, most days...you either won't show up for what matters most, you may start and stop multiple times, or you may give up on your big DREAMS and goals altogether. I don't want that for you or anyone and I KNOW that if you have a foundation of healthy habits to build on...you can and will have whatever you want in life.
There will STILL be the amazing inspiring stories up that you have heard and can go back to listen to & MORE inspirational stories of those living ULTRA lives to come.
I'll be doing more solo rounds to give you the tools to be able to create this foundation of healthy habits and lose the weight for the last time so you can go after your 'ULTRA' life goals.
Thank you all for being on this journey with me!! We'll return with new episodes in the coming weeks. In the meantime, feel free to binge on all your favorites!

Welcome back to the series on POSSIBILITY! This first month of 2022 I'm sharing with you all kinds of inspiring stories on what is really possible for you if you dream big and all the tips, tools, and lessons from each story, so you can tangibly apply it to your big goal.
This episode is about me my mom and I completing the MS 150 Bike Ride, 75 miles one day, slept overnight in a high school gym on a mat, then riding another 75 miles the next day - all on no training-other than a ride in the neighborhood or doing my paper routes, a diet of cereal & mac & cheese or whatever food we could get with food stamps, and to top it off, on Shopko bikes!
(Y'all may not even have ever heard of Shopko;0 It's basically a Kmart or Wal-Mart where I grew up in a small little town)
Tune in to hear
*How we attempted it when I was 10 years old and we had to stop on day one. Then how we completed it when I was 12yrs old
*How we did it with nothing special, basic gear, clothes, no idea about nutrition, very little training -if you could even call it that, and more.
*The 5 Lessons that you can learn and take away from this to start opening your mind to what is possible for you!
*If you want to surrounded yourself with likeminded people & have a go-to place to ask any questions that come up around your goals, nutrition, working out, or anything around you achieving your goals, join us in 'The Sweat Life' FB group. Link below!
*If you haven't been able to reach your health goal year after year and are ready to actually create the results you want, book a free call with the link below or text me you are interested in learning more (9540=-801-0797). We'll talk about where you are at and how I can help you reach your goal. I guarantee my clients get the results they are looking for, so no need to worry if it will work or not. It will work or you get your money back. https://calendly.com/samanthanivenscoaching/coaching-consult

My guest today is Ken Rideout. Ken is a husband and father of 4 kids, the co-host of the top ranked podcast, “The Fight with Teddy Atlas,” and an incredible athlete who in the last 6 months won the Myrtle Beach Marathon in 2:30 and turned 50 the following day, finished 2nd in the world (lost by 50 seconds) at the World Marathon Majors at the London Marathon in 2:29, and won the NYC Marathon Masters Division (40+) in 2:33, literally 1 second in front of Shalane Flanagan.
Ken shares his inspiring story of running his first marathon in just under 3 hours (in his 40’s). He soon decided to believe and commit to running a marathon in 2:30 -and did just that! Not only that, but he has now run a sub 2:30 marathon and he does this all while having the same responsibilities in life we all do, working, being a partner and raising his 4 children.
What I love about Ken and what he shares, is that ANYONE can achieve results like this or the ‘dream goal’ you want to achieve. He doesn’t have anything special or naturally gifted, he just puts in the work & shows up every day to achieve his goals.
PS: Don’t let Ken’s strong enthusiasm and passion scare you away!! I’d encourage you all to TAKE IT IN and find the lessons in his passion.
Listen all the way through and you will find lessons from start to finish!
What you’ll hear:
*Learn how to ‘suffer’ to reach your goals, to push past your limits, and to reframe ‘suffering’ when training or racing.
*How to create your own environment to support you living your best life vs. letting the people and circumstances around you determine your future.
*He started running in his 30’s and first decided to do an Ironman and did these until 45 years old and then decided to start to shift to just running
-At that time for a year, he ran 10 miles a day, one day running 15-20 miles and one day a bike ride of 60-100 miles with a few friends
*How to believe in yourself no matter what ‘race’ you are going through in life
*He shares what you can use to create belief in yourself!!
-He has the same fears, anxiety, and thoughts that we all do that wants to keep us inside when it is pouring rain & says, “I don’t want to do this.”
-He shares a powerful way to overcome that voice. (35 min)
*Insight how even professional boxers and fighters have cried before a fight because they are scared, but they still go out there.
-Ken would know having interviewed so many UFC fighters!
*How to use a tough/scary experience in life (for him boxing) or doing something challenging, to USE that to help you to do other hard things in life.
*How he makes the time to train while being a dad, raising kids, working, and living a full life.
*Your health is the FOUNDATION of you and living your best life - working out an hour in your day will change your life.
*How his diet isn’t anything crazy detailed and specific and he still gets these massive running results. Yes, he even eats pie and desserts at the end of his day!
-The supplements he uses to help his training & health
*Everything he has done is on Strava!! Learn and follow him to get similar results and see his training!
*His best advice for anyone looking to get started on their health journey
-You NEED to listen all the way until the end to get the BEST advice and insight.

This episode is going to be a game changer for anyone that is struggling to exercise.
A lot of people put exercise off or moving their bodies because it feels like a chore, it feels like a ‘have to do’ vs. a want to do, it feels like a means to an end vs. enjoying it in the moment or every time, or people have for too long used it as a way to ‘burn off’ food aka a way to torture yourself and make exercise not fun!!
Today I’m going to change that. I’m going to change your world and how you think about exercise, movement, or working out…
I'll share 4 concepts for anyone to create or expand their Toolbox!
1) What is Exercise & how you get to DECIDE.
2) Identify your TOOLS. Discover alllllll the possible tools you can have in your toolbox that WILL serve you vs. you hate.
3) Understand the value of Exercise - so you want to exercise, so you say I need to exercise because of the value you get vs. the 'fake' value you are assigning it now.
4) Shifting your Thoughts about Exercise - how to find thoughts that will serve you, to create intentional thoughts vs. letting old stories run your life and ability to exercise & enjoy it.
After listening to this you will have a toolbox to use for anything that comes up in life, so you can live your best life.
Think about an actual toolbox, that you have a screwdriver, a hammer, a wrench, and all the different tools (your exercise - all the different styles, amount of time, solo, group, etc.) and then ALL the different ways you could possibly use those tools for putting up a painting, building a house, making a dog house, and so much more (these are your values - for stress, for depression, for fun, for your relationships, etc.).
Once you have this, you can start to learn to carry it with you wherever you go to - to always have your toolbox for life with you.
*BONUS: I am offering a special for the month of December. Anyone that starts a 1:1 6 month coaching package with me in January will get the entire month of December FREE for coaching. So you can implement these tools, have that extra accountability, support, and guidance to really build on come 2022! Book a call at my website www.samanthanivens.com or DM directly to learn more or get started today.

My guest today is Josh LaJaunie. Josh not only has an incredible story, but an incredible heart. There is no doubt in my mind you all will instantly connect and fall in love with the man Josh is. His authenticity and ability to express how he feels and where he is at, with his Bayou accent will have you listening to every word.
And that is great, because Josh has been through some INCREDIBLE changes and feats in his life, so you want to listen. He was born and raised in south louisiana. He grew up hunting, fishing, drinking, eating, playing football, and getting fat. Ultimately he found himself tipping the scales at over 400 lbs in early 2011.
He has since lost 200 lbs, developed a love for running-running over 10 ultra marathons & even placing first place, and is now exclusively a plant-based, plant-powered, aspiring athlete. He is now on a mission to share his journey to help us all take that next step to make healthier choices. This episode will have you crying with us and taking away SO many tools and shifts to help you anywhere you are on your journey.
What you’ll hear in this episode:
*The 1st 60 minutes are us doing REAL talk - just fair warning we didn’t take this out.
-Josh shares so authentically where he is at right now. It’s been a tough season for him, since Covid, and this past year. He shares what’s been going on and how he is human through it all.
-That no matter what we have accomplished in the past, that doesn't mean we don’t go through seasons that suck, that one thing after another brings us down.
-I highly recommend starting HERE -listening to us do the REAL talk -and then taking some extra time to hear more of Josh’s story & tips from his journey of being 400+lbs to becoming an ultra runner, to turning to a plant based diet.
*About an hour in we dive into his story - He’s been trying not to be fat his whole life.
-He’s been a typical south Louisiana kid who grew up eating fried deer meat sandwiches, skinning hogs, drinking a 12 pack of Bud & some whiskey and maybe even some chemicals to stay up all night hunting or doing crazy stuff, before he shifted.
*The Crescent City Classic 10k - the first race he did and how he got started running, ran that race at 320/330lbs in 1hr and 43minutes.
*How his Dad’s struggling with mental health was an impetus for change.
*That first month he started working out - scale said ‘Error’ - meaning over 400lbs
-He started jogging around 380lbs, working out at the gym, ran the race after losing 50lbs
*He had to convince his family with his ACTIONS - that this weight loss, running, and lifestyle was real.
-Then they started to come over to his side and shift themselves. Now all his family started to change and they all lost weight and have kept it off.
-How giving up meat and dairy was the final 1-2 punch to not only lose the weight, but to keep it off!! (1hr 15 min)
*Josh shares some great whole food plant based resources - the book Whole: Rethinking the Science of Nutrition and Finding Ultra by Rich Roll
*The Pleasure Trap - Josh shares an idea from Dr. Doug Lyles - it takes 20 days to adapt to new foods, like oreos to broccoli. (1hr 25min)
*“Rather than think of it, I need to avoid these foods, understand their power, and RESPECT them.” To help you get through cravings or food that has power over you. - A powerful idea from his friend David Clark (1hr 30min)
*And SO MUCH MORE
Find Josh on IG @joshlajaunie or his website www.joshlajaunie.com to learn more about Josh and continue to follow along on his journey.
December can be the forgetting month of goals, but I’m going to share how you can still set a super small realistic goal to not only make progress on, but to build momentum to walk into the New Year with confidence, calm, and excitement!
*Side note: It doesn't matter if you are listening the 1st or the 9th! You can apply these guidelines whenever you hear this and it also applies to any month or time of year when things are too hectic/full and you feel you like just want to pause and not do anything for your health goals.
Instead, you can take these tools, implement and ALWAYS be making progress and keep a BASELINE with your health, weight, and workouts!
*BONUS: I am offering a special for the month of December. Anyone that starts a 1:1 6 month coaching package with me in January will get the entire month of December FREE for coaching.

My guest today is Claire Bartholic, also known as The Planted Runner, a Running, Nutrition, and Mindset Coach, as well as the Host of ‘The Run to the Top Podcast’ -one of the leading running podcasts in the world and a top podcast in the entire world!
Although, Coach Claire wasn’t always a runner
She started running in her mid-30s simply to get in shape for her high school reunion. It wasn’t about getting faster or racing; it was, to be honest, mainly about vanity.
But something changed in her as the miles slowly added up. The reunion came and went and she kept running.
Already plant based, she finished her first marathon at age 38 in a respectable 4:02 and was immediately hooked. She became a student of the marathon using Jeff Gaudette’s training philosophy and RunnersConnect coaching. With dedicated coaching and training, she successfully lowered her marathon PR to 2:58, remarkably without injury, and entirely plant-based. Claire is a multiple-time Boston Marathon qualifier, state Master’s Marathon Champion, and a competitive Master’s athlete.
As a coach, she has led hundreds of athletes to the best performances of their lives through science-based training, nutrition, and mindset programs.
Claire is also the host of one of the first and most popular running podcasts, The Run to the Top. With over 6 million downloads, thousands of runners listen to Claire interview the best in the sport each week as well as learn actionable lessons to become a better runner each episode!
What you’ll hear in this episode…
*Claire’s story of how she got started & that running sucked for a long time before it became enjoyable.
-Get tips if this is you on how to keep moving forward through the suck!
*How to get started as a beginner running & how to uplevel your running as an athlete
*What to do for the ‘bad days’ or days you don’t feel like working out or going out for your run
*Some tips & tools to get through the first 3-4 weeks of starting to move your body & 90 days
*Her favorite plant based cooking book & a simple way to start eating healthier!
*And SO many more golden nuggets & inspiration to stay moving consistently!

Last minute challenge!
I can’t believe it is August 2020😳
As I’ve gotten out a little more I’ve found out I’m not the only one with a COVID pound gain🥰 That many of us despite our best attempts have still gained some weight during this time. On top of the news parents are handling and processing with what’s going on-or not with school this fall.
All that to say I’ve really been thinking about doing a CHALLENGE to shake things up, get us all moving more, and with no matter what is going to start to claim our health back!
I don’t want this to add to anyone’s plate, but to give back to it in energy, feeling better, less stressed, better moods, etc. So, for that reason it is going to be super simple!!
Ready?!
CHALLENGE -If you choose to accept;) *Every day in the month of August to move your body intentionally for 30 minutes. -That’s it!! -Just 30 min a day can change how you feel, build your confidence back, and give you a spring board to add even more new healthy habits this fall💪
HOW it will work: Join the FB Group: Bold & Brave Community at bit.ly/boldandbravehealth -which anyone is always welcome to join-but you’ll specifically need to join for this challenge. Every day at 9pm EST I’ll ask for you to share your movement for the day. *Share a screen shot of your Strava, you pedometer, sweaty selfie, timer, something to show you got it in!
OH. AND....for those that complete 30 minutes of movement every day will be put it a drawing to win a NEW workout sports bra/shirt or shorts from LULULEMON!!* (Say what?!)
For real. For real.
I love my lululemon gear and feel like everyone needs a good piece to rock their workouts in.
JOIN!! Comment below if you are IN and join the FB Group by clicking the link in bio or going to bit.ly/boldandbravehealth and commenting on the post there. *Must join by August 7th to be eligible for giveaway, but can join anytime after that to still be a part of the challenge!
Y’all, so excited for this!! Share with your friends, so they can join and help keep you accountable!!
*Oh! And any INTENTIONAL movement counts-whether you walk, run, spin, swim, ride your bike, do stairs at the house or pace inside, play-and I mean play-actively with your kids. You KNOW. You’ll only cheat yourself if you report your movement and didn’t actually do it😘 (Up to $68 value for Lululemon prize!)

PODCAST Episode 25: Katy Joy Wells, Creator of Your Simplified Home: Decluttering Made Easy & Host of the Maximized Minimalist Podcast.
You may be thinking, “But what does decluttering have to do with working out and staying healthy?!”
Katy answers that and more on how to claim back your time and your life with decluttering!
Time is one of the biggest barriers to us all fitting in our workouts and healthy habits.
Katy shares how decluttering your house can allow you to get up to 40% of your time back spent cleaning, which can mean on average 8-12 hours a week!
Katy shares some tangible tips and tools to get started decluttering today.
One of my favorite parts about this episode is how real and open Katy is about her sweat journey, from working 70 hours a week at a business she wasn’t passionate about, to becoming a mom with two young babes close together, and now having a new business she is super passionate about. Meaning Katy has and lives a full busy life, she shares what her workouts looked like before kids, to when they were super young, to now, giving us a full perspective of how the shifts in life mean shifts in your healthy habits.
Katy has now found a balance of maintaining 2 committed workouts a week with 3 being the goal. She shares how she is able to get those in and what she does to be effective with them! If you are a mom you definitely want to tune in and hear her story and how decluttering can really change your life, home, and time!!

Get ready to be inspired and motivated! Bob Becker, 74 years young, was the oldest finisher at the Badwater 135 in August 2015, which bills itself as “the world’s toughest foot race."
Most would be spent after that race, but Bob is one of the few who then climbed to the summit of Mt. Whitney, turned around to head back to the start in Death Valley, for a total of 292 miles!!
Yet, Bob has not been running his whole life and doesn't run for hours every single day.
Tune in to hear his sweat story, how he got started with some friends to celebrate a birthday ending in zero, that then turned into running an ultra, to becoming a race director of ultra marathons.
At one point Bob was asked to help crew a friend for the Badwater 135 mile ultra and from that point he has always been a part of the Badwater 135 in some capacity. Bob shares his tips and tools along the way, including his secret to staying in shape and being so healthy all this time!

If that is a 20 minute walk instead of a full 50 minute workout then embrace the opportunity to still do that! If that is eating a healthy option from Chick-fil-A versus a homemade supper then do that. Stay on track with your goals by embracing the B+ in your healthy lifestyle choices!
