Over the past four seasons of the Boss Body podcast, I’ve connected with incredible women and experts, explored the ups and downs of menopause, weight release, body image, self-care, and more.

So many of you have shared how much this podcast has meant to you. And it has meant so much to me too! This wasn’t an easy decision, but today I’m sharing why this will be the final episode of the Boss Body podcast, and what’s coming next.

This isn’t a goodbye, it’s a pivot. After listening deeply to what my community needs most, I’m shifting my energy toward new ways of serving you: short training videos on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram with actionable tips, plus articles and blog posts, to support your journey and to help you continue to grow and evolve.

Midlife isn’t about adding more, it’s about getting clarity on what truly supports your health, your energy, and the life you want to create. And letting go of what’s no longer in alignment. This is me modeling how I can best honor myself and inviting you to explore what will best support your next chapter.

It has been my honor to serve you in this space and I look forward to continuing to learn and grow alongside you.

Episode Highlights

01:05 – Why this is the final episode

04:12 – The pivot to how I can better support you

07:30 – Shifting from doing more to getting clarity

11:15 – How to support your own health and energy

13:45 – What’s next and where to find me

Do you find yourself constantly craving sugar or empty carbs? Maybe it hits late at night after dinner… during that mid-afternoon energy crash… or when you walk in the door from work feeling exhausted and starving.

Sugar cravings can completely derail your best intentions to get healthy and leave you feeling frustrated, out of control, and stuck in a cycle of cravings, guilt, and self-blame.

But sugar cravings have nothing to do with willpower!

In this episode, I’m breaking down the real reasons women in midlife struggle so much with sugar cravings and, more importantly, what you can do to finally break free from the cycle.

Episode Highlights

00:00 Why sugar cravings ramp up in midlife
03:07 How hormone and insulin shifts drive cravings
04:48 Why meal timing and balance matter
06:54 Stress, cortisol, and the cravings connection

Did you know that emotions and unprocessed feelings are held in our bodies and can deeply affect our physical, emotional, and even spiritual health?

This week I’m joined by Maria Toso, somatic healing teacher, yoga trainer, and author of Heal What Hurts: How to Heal Emotional Triggers.

Maria says many of us stuff down and avoid uncomfortable feelings by:

  1. Lashing out - scolding, name calling, blaming
  2. Numbing out - overeating, drinking, scrolling
  3. Checking out - avoiding and becoming disconnected

She shares practical wisdom on how to recognize when we’re being triggered, and how to then gently nurture ourselves back to a place of self-love and shift unhealthy patterns through breath, body awareness, and bringing loving kindness inward.

"The love that you have for everyone else is going to be so much more authentic when it comes from you totally embodying love in and with yourself." - Maria Toso

As we wrap up Season 4 and take a short break before we kick off Season 5 in the New Year, I’ll be taking a short break to get everything ready for what’s coming next.

In the meantime, I’ll be sharing some of my favorite episodes—maybe some you haven’t had a chance to listen to yet or maybe you’ll catch some hidden gems you might’ve missed the first time around.

This is your chance to revisit a few of the most powerful and thought-provoking episodes from the first 4 seasons.

And while I’m on this little break, I’m hard at work behind the scenes, planning even bigger and better things for the next season.

Thank you for being here and I can’t wait to share the incredible guests and inspiring content I have lined up for you next year.

::Trigger Warning::

This episode contains discussions about trauma and emotional eating. If this topic is sensitive or triggering to you, please listen at your discretion.

We tend to think of overeating or eating when we’re not hungry as a lack of willpower or discipline. Feeling intense shame afterward. Vowing to never do it again. Only to keep returning to food and repeating the cycle over and over.

We’re great at blaming ourselves, but have you ever considered that your eating habits might be linked to deeper issues? And that your perceived lack of control is actually a survival mechanism?

Today Diane Petrella, MSW, clinical social worker, and author of Healing Emotional Eating for Trauma Survivors, and I discuss the link between childhood trauma and emotional eating.

Highlights Timings:

03:01 - The Link Between Trauma and Emotional Eating

10:01 - Early Trauma and Its Long-Term Effects

15:01 - Coping Mechanisms and Food as Comfort

20:01- Strategies to Manage Emotional Eating

It can be easy to fall into the trap of waiting. Waiting to lose weight, to save enough money, to retire, etc., before finally starting to live the life you want. In this episode, master certified life coach and midlife mentor, Suzy Rosenstein, teaches us how to break free from "waiting mode," get clear on what we really want, and take action toward our dreams now, not someday in the future.

Key Takeaways:

So many of us have become disconnected from our bodies–pushing through exhaustion; ignoring our physical cues for hunger, thirst, or rest; and numbing emotions with food, work, or social media.

This week, I sit down with Toni Bergins, M.Ed., founder and director of JourneyDance®, to explore how body movement through dance can be a pathway to reconnect with your body, express emotions, release old trauma, and step into to your joy, authenticity, sensuality, and power.

Key Takeaways:

Dance as Deep Healing: Movement isn’t just physical, it’s a pathway to emotional release, spiritual awakening, and self-connection.

Safe Containers for Vulnerability: Through a guided process like JourneyDance®, you can safely explore and release your emotions–joy, anger, and even rage–and start to heal old patterns.

Empowerment Through Expression: The act of honoring your feelings is the key to inhabiting your body and living authentically.

“We’ve been told to be smaller, quieter, and less emotional. Dance gives us permission to be big, bold, and beautifully alive. Movement is the medicine that allows emotions to move through us instead of staying stuck in us. Every emotion has a place–rage, grief, joy, sensuality” – Toni Burgins

00:00 – The importance of reconnecting with your body

03:10 – Toni’s story

If you’ve ever struggled with self-love or battled your harsh inner critic, join me for this conversation with relationship expert Dr. Margaret Paul.

Dr. Paul explains her powerful Inner Bonding® self-healing process, a six-step pathway to heal self-judgment,reconnect with your true self, break free from old patterns and heal your relationship with yourself.

Key Takeaways:

Self-Healing Begins Within: External achievements, relationships, or validation can't heal old wounds. Genuine healing starts by building a loving relationship with yourself and uncovering the false beliefs you've absorbed over time.

Recognizing Self-Abandonment: Many of us unknowingly repeat patterns from our upbringing, including self-judgment, staying stuck in our heads, numbing emotions, or making others responsible for our feelings. Noticing these behaviors is the first step to real change.

The Power of Intentional Self-Love: Shifting your intention from controlling outcomes to learning how to love yourself is transformative. When you are filled with love from within, you naturally improve your relationships and well-being.

If you tend to spend all your time (and energy) taking care of everyone and everything else, while putting your own self-care on the back burner, join the club!

In this episode, I speak with Kelley Grimes, MSW, counselor, self-nurturing expert, and bestselling author, about how to nurture and care for ourselves, without feeling guilty or selfish.

Kelley shares her journey from being a professional caregiver and devoted mom who constantly put everyone else first, to hitting burnout and learning the power of prioritizing her own well-being and joy.

She shares practical steps and mindset shifts to weave simple, joyful self-care into our everyday lives….Guilt-free.

Key Takeaways:

Self-nurturing doesn’t mean you’re choosing yourself over others.

Start small. Tiny acts of self-compassion can build real momentum and ease guilt.

Reframe your inner dialogue and focus on progress not perfection.

"The gift of self nurturing is that we know ourselves more. We can express more of what's in ourselves. Our creativity, our authenticity, all of those beautiful parts that are our unique gifts to the world and that keeps evolving." - Kelley Grimes

Do you sometimes wonder about your relationship with alcohol?

Should you drink less?

Or not at all?

What does a “healthy” relationship with alcohol look like?

The answers may surprise you.

On this episode I’m joined by Colleen Freeland, an intuitive drinking coach, Founder of Emotional Sobriety Coaching©, and host of the top-ranked It's Not About the Alcohol podcast, for a conversation about women, wine, and the emotional patterns that often drive our drinking habits.

Summer’s here! Which means vacations, celebrations, and lots of temptations.

With all the fun activities, it can be easy to let your wellness goals slide.

If you’ve ever wondered why sticking to a healthy routine can feel so tough and why you keep sliding back into old habits, I'm excited to share something truly fascinating…

The brain science behind weight loss and habit change.

Turns out there’s a little “bouncer” in your brain that decides what information deserves your focus and what gets filtered out. What you focus on grows. So this mechanism actually has a huge impact on whether or not you stay focused on and stuck in negative patterns or course correct to succeed in making positive change.

This subconscious system is running the show behind the scenes and impacting everything from your career, to your relationships, and even whether or not you’re able to release weight and keep it off.

I’ll explain exactly how this internal system works and teach you the strategies to harness it, retrain your brain, get unstuck, and finally reach your goals and maintain healthy habits.

Episode Highlights:

05:01 The Brain’s Algorithm
09:31 Getting Unstuck From Negative Cycles

It's no secret that our metabolism slows as we age. You’ve heard the terms:

Menopause middle

Midlife creep

Shifting sands of time

Ugh!!!

The average woman gains 1.5 pounds per year during her adult life. Enough to pack on 40+ pounds by the time she’s in her 50s, if she doesn’t combat the perfect storm of hormones, muscle loss, and stress that slows her fat-burning engine.

In this episode, I break down one of the most common concerns for women in midlife: a slowing metabolism and stubborn weight gain during and after menopause.

You’ll learn the science behind what the heck is going on,why our bodies change, how hormones affect our metabolism, and most importantly, what we can do about it.

Listen in for my top four strategies to jumpstart your metabolism and start releasing weight.

Episode Highlights:

02:10 The Truth About Midlife Weight Gain
04:17 What Actually Happens to Your Metabolism as You Age

This week, our format is a little different. We're flipping the script as I move from interviewer to interviewee.

I had such a powerful conversation recently on the Transforming 45 podcast, with host Lisa Boate, where we discussed how to transform your body image….I just had to share it with you.

Growing up, many of us internalized messages about how our bodies should look, creating a skewed perception that often leads to self-criticism.

​​In this interview I got very vulnerable and opened up about my own journey through having a distorted, negative body image, and how living through breast cancer completely changed the way I viewed and treated my body

We also talked about the complex issue of weight, how to overcome societal pressures to look a certain way, and how to cultivate self-care, self-love, and body appreciation.

Key takeaways

  • Mindset Matters: Transformation begins with subtle mindset shifts. When you start viewing your body through a lens of appreciation rather than perfection, you begin to recognize its innate resilience and power.
  • Self-care as a Foundation: Simple self-care practices can significantly impact how you perceive and feel about your body.
  • Finding Your Sweet Spot: What is your perfect “goal weight”? There is no magic number. It’s finding YOUR “sweet spot” where you’re comfortable in your body, nourishing it with healthy food, and enjoying what you eat and how you feel.

Highlights

12:06 Body and Self-Image

16:54 Resilience Through Physical Transformation

23:55 Body Love Through Self-Care

27:24 Understanding Practical Self-Love

38:39 Coping with Trauma and Food

Linda Joy, spent years building her career as a Mindset Elevation Coach, publisher, and creatrix of five media brands. From high school dropout and welfare mom to successful entrepreneur, Linda’s path was full of hustle, striving, and proving herself through external achievements.

She also spent decades nurturing her emotional and spiritual growth, which is evident in the work she does. But it took a mini stroke at 40 and years of health challenges before she realized she was neglecting her PHYSICAL health.

She made a conscious decision to prioritize nourishing her body—just as much as her career and spiritual well-being.

She sought help from me as her Health & Nutrition Coach and she says that’s when everything began to shift.

She released weight that had been hanging on for years–by eating MORE, not less–her energy also improved, she was more productive, and her health challenges improved dramatically.

“If I wasn’t nourishing me, I wouldn’t have any light to share with anyone else,” Linda says, reflecting on the way her relationship with her body changed when she gave it the care it needed.

Key takeaways:

  • Nourishment as Sacred Ritual: Linda shared her transformative shift in viewing nourishment not just as feeding the body, but as a sacred experience.
  • Embrace Support and Seek Help: Linda opened up about her longtime struggle of trying to tackle life’s challenges alone. Her advice? Reach out for support.
  • The magic of ADDING IN: Instead of focusing on restriction and deprivation, focus the nourishment and self-care you can add to your life to foster a healthier relationship with food and your body.

"My emotional spiritual health was number one... but I wasn't truly connected with my body. I was disconnected from my body, from the truth of who I am, from my worth. I used to be so hard on myself, and the more I loved myself from the inside out and defined my own vision for success in every area of my life, my life completely shifted.” - Linda Joy

We often think of detoxing in terms of a physical cleansing, but did you know it's equally important to our overall health to process and release (aka detox) our emotions?

In this episode, I speak with Sherianna Boyle, Founder of Emotional Detox Coaching® and author of the Emotional Detox book series.

She explains how stuffing down our feelings, putting on a brave face, and taking care of everyone else first, leads to exhaustion, anxiety, and unhealthy coping mechanisms like emotional eating.

"It takes more energy to keep pushing this stuff down than it does to process it, even though it seems harder and scarier." -Sherianna Boyle

She also walks us through her powerful 7-Step C.L.E.A.N.S.E. method for emotional processing and shares some daily practices to help us feel and release our emotions to create lasting transformation.

Tune in to learn:

  • What emotional detox really means and why it matters
  • Signs you might need and emotional detox
  • How suppressed emotions damage our overall health and wellbeing
  • Daily practices to feel, process, and release emotional reactions

If you're feeling exhausted, anxious, or stuck in unhealthy patterns, this episode will give you practical tools to start your emotional healing journey.

"You're not looking to get rid of your emotions like you would be in a physical detox. You’re not looking to get rid of anything. You're actually looking to get to your emotions.

When you process your emotions, you get something from that... it's like food for the soul." -Sherianna Boyle

Welcome to a very special, milestone episode of the Boss Body Podcast. Today I’m celebrating my 100th episode and the launch of our third season!

I couldn’t think of a more fitting topic than body confidence and self-love—issues that resonate deeply, especially for women navigating midlife, menopause, and beyond.

Did you know that between 69% and 84% of women report feeling dissatisfied with their bodies? In my opinion, that number is probably even higher.

In this episode, I'll share my own journey with body image and the societal pressures and personal experiences that have shaped my perceptions over the years.

You’ll learn how to stop the cycle of self-criticism and guilt by learning to challenge ingrained negative beliefs. And I’ll show you how to cultivate a respectful, loving relationship with your body, and how that can lead to releasing physical and emotional weight.

You’ll learn:

  • How to respect your body even if you feel like you don't love it right now
  • How your past experiences shape how you view yourself
  • How to feel worthy and confident right now, instead of thinking you’ll have to change first
  • How to shift to a positive self-image

"Your body is there supporting you day in and day out, and it deserves gratitude for that. ​​Start showing up for your body and notice how different you feel when you start treating it with respect and kindness." -Sarah Haas

Highlights

Taking time to reflect on the past year and setting intentions for the year to come can be a very powerful motivator to start setting things in motion for what you want to attract into your life.

In this episode, I’m inviting you to step into the New Year with intention, clarity, and self-love.

It’s not just about career or finances—this year is about creating success in every area of your life: your health, relationships, home, and most importantly, your relationship with yourself.

I’ll guide you through a special New Year Reflection and Manifestation Ritual that will help you uncover your deepest beliefs about who you are, release what’s no longer serving you, and open your heart to what’s truly possible.

Your outer world is a mirror of your inner world, and this practice will empower you to align your thoughts, feelings, and actions with the life you desire.

I’m so excited to share this journey with you and can't wait to see all the magic and growth the year holds for you!

Do you have an inner critic inside your head that’s constantly putting you down?

A voice that goes around and around in your head all day saying negative things - especially about your body and your ability to stick to healthy habits?

Did you know the private conversations you have with yourself can either be motivating and help you move forward with positive action, or major obstacles to reaching your goals.

That’s because thoughts create emotions, emotions create actions, actions create your outer reality.

And that’s why negative thinking can quickly turn into self-fulfilling prophecies.

If you’re constantly beating yourself up, you’re not going to feel motivated, you’re not going to have the confidence that you can do it and, many times, when we feel bad, we turn to food to help us feel better. Which ends up perpetuating the cycle.

In this episode, I share four steps that can help you quiet the inner critic, break the vicious cycle, and start feeling positive and motivated.

Have you ever felt like the constant drive to PLEASE others, PROVE yourself, and achieve PERFECTION is wearing you down?

In this episode, I talk with guest, Meredith Vaish, Intuitive Leadership Coach, about how this cycle drains our energy and impedes our ability to live the life we really want.

Meredith shares her compelling story of balancing a demanding career at Stanford University with full-time motherhood. And how taking on too much led her to an injury that became her wake-up call.

She shares how to break free from these cycles by:

  • setting boundaries
  • embracing progress over perfection
  • taking small, yet impactful steps toward positive change

She also shares practical strategies for managing the inner critic and finding fulfillment beyond external validation.

"True transformation starts with listening to your body and honoring your intuition. The journey to self-love is the most important work you'll ever do."
-Meredith Vaish

Highlights

14:32 Perfectionism stems from self-worth issues and demands of achievement.
18:22 Midlife pressures lead to unsustainable strategies and often health crises.
21:37 Success should align with your authentic self, not society.
33:02 Why support is crucial for creating big changes.

About Meredith

Now, through coaching, courses and retreats, she helps women up level their life, energy, and results by creating a SoulYES life they love.

Grief can be a tough emotion to process, but it’s something all of us will experience at some point in our lives.

Grief often follows a major life shift, like the loss of a loved one, job change, relationship change, or health challenge - experiences especially common in midlife.

It can be tempting to suppress these uncomfortable emotions, stuff them down and sweep them under the rug. But allowing your emotions to flow, and the lessons that follow are an opportunity for profound personal growth and resilience.

To help us understand and learn how to deal with these complex emotions, I invited Amy Lindner Lesser, grief recovery specialist and certified life transition coach, to join me on this episode.

Amy’s journey into grief counseling started with her own profound experiences, beginning with the loss of her husband, while running a bed and breakfast, and caring for her family,

She discovered the necessity of self-care and the importance of addressing suppressed emotions to cope with the inevitable "life quakes" - big, life-changing events. Through her experiences, she shares powerful practical advice for emotional healing, channeling love and emotions into positive actions, and finding the silver linings in even the most devastating circumstances.

“Feel all your feelings. Grief is normal, it's natural. And it's necessary that we feel grief when we lose someone or something that's important to us.”
-Amy Lindner-Lesser

Highlights
15:57 Importance of feeling all emotions
19:55 Grieving life transitions
24:07 How adversity promotes personal growth and resilience
27:29 Power of action-based responses to grief

Amy Lindner-Lesser is a Grief Recovery Method™️ Specialist, Certified Life Transitions Coach, and MSW, who supports women through the emotions of loss and grief that arise with major life transitions. Whether it’s the heart-breaking grief that arises from the loss of a loved one or the disorientation felt when life suddenly shifts due to the loss of a job, relationship, or a health challenge, Amy guides her clients to understand and navigate the transition with self-compassion. She is also the host of INNtrospection: Grief to Growth podcast.

Did you know improving your gut health and balancing your hormones are crucial for weight loss?

And for overall health.

Our bodies are complex ecosystems. When one part gets out of balance, it affects all the other systems. These imbalances can cause weight creep, stubborn weight, fatigue, inflammation, disease, mental health issues, and a whole host of other issues.

In this episode, Elizabeth Aylor, Holistic Nutritionist and Conditioning & Strength Specialist, shares some seriously eye-opening insights on how to get to the root of our imbalances to solve our health issues from the inside out.

We’ll break down common myths about traditional weight loss methods, especially as they relate to perimenopause and menopause, and discuss why things like restrictive diets can do more harm than good.

“It's about time that we start treating everybody as an individual and get down to the root cause versus just focusing on, “How can I get fat loss?” How about, how can we get your health? Because when we get your health, your body transforms with it and then you feel amazing too.” - Elizabeth Aylor

Highlights

15:29 Identifying and addressing root causes of illness
18:10 Why gut health is so important

Life transitions can be hard! And women in midlife and beyond are very much in a transitional phase of life.

Growing older, experiencing changing bodies and hormones, divorce, losses, career changes, relocating, empty nest….the list goes on.

On this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Pamela Thompson, a coach and author specializing in guiding women through midlife transitions to achieve improved health, happiness, fulfillment, and inner peace.

Pamela introduces us to her "Art of Change Framework," designed to help women REINVENT themselves by focusing on:

  • Creating an optimistic mindset
  • Getting support
  • Finding the right tools and processes
  • Integrating self-care practices

Plus, we learn why leaning into intuition and creativity is pivotal for women in midlife.

“All these things are essential for us to transition, to reinvent ourselves, to embrace change. When we resist change, it has negative impacts on our bodies, our minds, and our relationships. But when we learn to embrace change. We flow with it.” -Pamela Thompson

Highlights Timings:

[09:39] Importance of lifelong learning, growth, and constant exploration

[14:30] Keys for staying healthy

**Lisa McCourt has literally made a career out of helping people find joy!

She’s the Host of Do Joy! Podcast, founder of the online Joy School, and celebrated author of over 40 books about joy and love. And she‘s here to help us illuminate the path to cultivating authentic joy in our lives.**

Lisa says joy is what we are made of--our soul’s essence. But past trauma, wounds, neglect, and not feeling good enough can block us from receiving and feeling joy. We shove and stuff down difficult emotions, which means they stay within our energy field.

In this episode, she shows us how to elevate our personal vibration and lift our "joy set points" by offering ourselves loving compassion for our feelings and emotions, which allows old blocks to bubble up and release.

Highlights Timings:

[11:50] Finding joy in the midst of challenges and adversity

[15:18] How childhood wounds impact our emotions

[30:25] Strategies to soothe negative emotions and elevate your personal vibration

Guest Bio:

Lisa McCourt is Host of the Do Joy! Podcast, founder of the online Joy School at lisamccourt.com, and author of over 40 books about joy and love, which have sold over nine million copies and earned seven publishing industry awards.

One huge reason there’s such a leadership gap between men and women in senior positions is that women leave the workforce at a higher rate than men at different stages of their careers.

Like during their childbearing years or when taking a leave of absence to care for an ailing family member.

But did you know one in ten women leaves the workforce at the peak of their skill, wisdom, and experience, due to unsupported menopause symptoms? And it’s costing companies billions.

A study in Canada showed an annual impact of $3.5 billion on the economy from women in their menopausal years leaving the workforce and taking with them all the education, training, and experience companies have invested in them over the years.

In the US, the cost is even higher.

During this phase of life, women are dealing with unique physical and emotional challenges - like fatigue, memory loss, irritability, hot flashes, headaches, and anxiety - that are completely unrecognized and unsupported in the corporate world.

My guest on this episode is Lisa Boate, founder of Liberated Menopause Consulting. She has made it her mission to support menopausal women to remain in the workforce through creating “Menopause-Empowered Workplaces.”

She works with companies and individuals to create awareness around this issue and to implement policies for providing specific health and wellness benefits, flexible working conditions, and more environmental control, so women can continue doing the work they love and are so good at.

Highlights Timings:

[10:07] Why women are leaving the workforce during menopause

[12:50] How menopausal symptoms impact work and family life

[20:34] Why there are fewer women in leadership roles

[25:51] Creating a work-life balance for women in menopause

Guest Bio:
Lisa Boate, Certified Menopause Coach and Founder of Liberated Menopause Consulting and Coaching, is a passionate advocate for creating Menopause Empowered Workplaces. With a background in education and a deep understanding of the systemic challenges faced by women during the menopausal transition, Lisa brings a unique blend of expertise to her work. As the host of the Transforming 45 podcast, she holds space for candid conversations about midlife transformation, exploring topics ranging from menopause to personal growth.

Your body is always sending you signals, but so many of us have become disconnected due to stress, busyness, and thinking we have to do it all.

We’ve conditioned ourselves to ignore the body’s messages, like headaches, pain, and mood changes. We even tune out hunger and thirst in an effort to power through our never ending to-do list.

But these symptoms are a signal that something isn’t quite right. It’s a “check engine” light from our body.

My guest on this episode, Thalia Pellegrini, nutritional therapist and former BBC journalist, shares her wisdom on decoding the underlying causes of symptoms that can occur around perimenopause and menopause and how to address the root causes.

Highlights Timings:

[04:47] Perimenopause hormone fluctuations

[10:48] What period pain could mean

[20:29] The importance of supporting your liver

[28:19] Menopausal changes and prioritizing self-care

Guest Bio:

Thalia Pelligrini is a Registered Nutritional Therapist, with degrees from Cambridge University and the Institute of Optimum Nutrition in London. Her specialist interest is women’s health with a focus on perimenopause. Known as the Knackered Mums Nutritionist she works with women to address health issues ranging from PCOS, endometriosis, PMS, perimenopause and menopause, fatigue (including chronic fatigue) and low energy.

Before we can balance our hormones and get rid of symptoms like the hot flashes, foggy brain, and weight gain that often come with perimenopause, menopause, and beyond, we have to know WHERE and WHY our body is out of whack.

That’s why, on this episode, I chat with Dee Davidson, board-certified functional health practitioner and hormone health expert, about how we can get all the data we need so we can figure out solutions that will work for us.

It’s about understanding the bigger picture - your body as a whole - and what’s going on with your hormones, gut health, liver, toxic load, and more.

And, how the power of mindset and beliefs affect our overall health.

Highlights Timings:

Whether it's battling night sweats, insomnia, weight gain, fatigue, emotional ups and downs, memory issues, or anxiety, hormonal imbalances that often occur around menopause, can wreak havoc on our bodies and minds.

This week, Holistic Health Coach and Female Hormone Specialist, Bria Gadd and I get into the nitty gritty of what the heck is going on and what we can do to bring our hormones back into balance.

Bria teaches us exactly how estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol get thrown off and how to restore equilibrium.

We also discuss how reframing our mindset around perimenopause and menopause can help us view these changes as opportunities for growth. And how flipping the script can completely change how we feel about ourselves and how our bodies react.

**::Trigger Warning::

This episode contains discussions about trauma and emotional eating. If this topic is sensitive or triggering to you, please listen at your discretion.

We tend to think of overeating or eating when we’re not hungry as a lack of willpower or discipline. Feeling intense shame afterward. Vowing to never do it again. Only to keep returning to food and repeating the cycle over and over.**

We’re great at blaming ourselves, but have you ever considered that your eating habits might be linked to deeper issues? And that your perceived lack of control is actually a survival mechanism?

Today Diane Petrella, MSW, clinical social worker, and author of Healing Emotional Eating for Trauma Survivors, and I discuss the link between childhood trauma and emotional eating.

Highlights Timings:

03:01 - The Link Between Trauma and Emotional Eating

10:01 - Early Trauma and Its Long-Term Effects

15:01 - Coping Mechanisms and Food as Comfort

20:01- Strategies to Manage Emotional Eating

Guest Bio

Diane Petrella, MSW, is a clinical social worker, certified life coach, and holistic licensed psychotherapist, specializing in the effects of childhood trauma, emotional eating, and body confidence. She’s worked with children, adolescents, and adult survivors. Diane has helped thousands of people overcome early trauma, create a respectful relationship with their body and food, and connect with their inner Wise Self for sustained healing. She is the author of Healing Emotional Eating for Trauma Survivors: Trauma-Informed Practices to Nurture a Peaceful Relationship with Your Emotions, Body, and Food.

Episode Summary:

If you've ever worked in the corporate world or as an entrepreneur, you know that pushing, forcing, hustling, and grinding has been the traditional model to paving a path to a successful career.

My guest on this episode, Leslie Gaudet, a Self-Care Strategist for high-achieving women, has a different take on how to improve your bottom line AND enjoy a high quality of life.

She says the endless hustle actually causes burnout, lowers motivation, and slows business growth, and the key to increasing your overall career success is taking a step back from the hustle and focusing on your health and self-care.

Leslie shares her “essentials of self care” to:

  • increase motivation
  • raise productivity
  • prevent burnout
  • meet revenue goals
  • reduce illness and absenteeism

Key Takeaways:

  • Significance of setting personal boundaries around time, learning to say no, asking for help, and taking mental breaks
  • Importance of self-love and vulnerability in the journey towards self-care and personal growth
  • Challenges women face in setting boundaries, asking for help
  • Impact of societal expectations on self-worth

“Learning to say no helps you to protect your time so you can say yes to the right things.” - Leslie Gaudet

Highlights:

03:12 - Leslie's Journey to Self-Care Coaching

12:57 - Mindset Shift and Emotional Healing

23:09 - Essentials of Self-Care: Boundaries and Time Management

29:01 - Taking Mental Breaks

Guest Bio:

Leslie Gaudet is a Self-Care Strategist, passionate about burnout prevention, who partners with incredible women to dive into the game-changing world of self-care and teamwork. She guides her clients to transform their lives by incorporating rejuvenating self-care practices into their daily routines, including self-care essentials for overall emotional, and physical health. When they learn to prioritize self-care, they become refreshed, motivated leaders who can inspire their teams, foster supportive work cultures, and drive business growth.

With every stage of a woman’s life - from Maiden, to Mother, to Matriarch - comes physical, mental, and emotional changes.

Obviously, the hormonal changes of menopause can affect the way we experience sex and how we feel in our bodies. But you are not only still CAPABLE, but also DESERVING of desire, pleasure, and intimacy.

You have the power to work WITH your body to create a happy and pleasurable sex life, whether alone or with a partner.

In this episode, I speak with Carla Sanders, who mentors women in midlife to embrace their sexuality, find healing, and ramp up the pleasure in their lives. She shares practical tips for making sex more pleasurable, along with her wisdom on healing old wounds and opening up to intimacy.

07:41 - The Importance of Understanding Your Body

Episode Summary:

When our identity is based on our EXTERNAL career, achievements, possessions, physical appearance, etc., we always feel we have to do more, be more, and achieve more to be “good enough.”

And, in doing so, we disconnect with, not only our body, but our soul, our inner wisdom, and our inner truth.

When we get out of our heads, and begin to discover, what my guest on this episode, Jessica Falcon, International Soul Embodiment Guide, calls the “goodness within,” we begin to connect with our innate wisdom and power and step into the life we're actually meant to lead.

Jessica, a former successful criminal prosecutor, shares her story of how a flood that destroyed her home and a serious accident, prompted her to reevaluate her life’s purpose and make some big changes.

Join me as we discuss the importance of adopting a soulful perspective and the amazing things that can happen when we shed the layers of conditioning and societal expectations.

“When we start to harness that power, that divine power, we literally shift everything from the inside out. We never see ourselves the same again.” - Jessica Falcon

Highlights:

03:50 - Introduction and Jessica’s Story

11:28 - The Transformative Power of Meditation

14:26 - Unlocking Feminine Power Through Embodiment

25:24 - The Power of Eve and Self-Love

Episode Summary:

Do you struggle with perfectionism or feel like you’re waiting for yourself and your life to be “perfect” to really start living and experiencing happiness?

Comparison and reaching for an unrealistic, unattainable “perfect” version of ourselves is a chronic issue for so many women.

We hide the parts about us we think aren’t acceptable or don’t fit in, because we’re afraid if people could see who we really are on the inside they wouldn't like, love, or accept us.

If I can just make myself look perfect on the outside, maybe people won’t see that I’m so imperfect on the inside…

My guest on this episode, Nanci Reed, author of Happily Ever NOW (Not AFTER Everything Else is Perfect), and former Pilates instructor to the stars, joins me to discuss the importance of embracing our imperfections and recognizing that every moment is perfectly imperfect.

She teaches us that, only when we lean into our authentic selves, instead of hiding, are we able to share gifts with the world, live our purpose, and experience the joy of being present right now.

“When we disarm the effect and the power that something has, then we can actually dispel it. But if we keep it as something that we deny, we feed it and give it power by believing that it has power over us..” - Nanci Reed

Highlights:

03:12 - Introduction and Nanci’s Story

10:49 - Life Purpose and Identity

18:34 - Happily Ever Now: Finding Peace and Healing

25:01 - Embracing Imperfections and Finding Joy

Guest Bio:

As a Sacred Embodiment Coach, Author, Intuition Amplifier, Pilates Instructor, and longtime Student/Teacher/Facilitator of A Course In Miracles, Nanci Reed supports successful, empathic, and mission-driven women to embrace their perfectly imperfect self with curiosity and gentleness, so they learn to trust the wisdom of their soul, live from their dreams - not their perceived limitations - and live their happily ever NOW.. She is the author of Happily Ever NOW (Not AFTER everything else is perfect), a gentle guide to overcome the paralysis of perfectionism by embracing our Innate Guidance.

Episode Summary:

Have you ever felt like the universe has something extraordinary in store for your love life?

If you’re looking to attract your life partner, listen in as I’m joined by Karen McPhail, author and Soulmate Manifestation Coach.

When Karen found herself divorced and in her 50s, she realized that, in order to call her soulmate into her life, she first had to cultivate self-love and self-worth and become the person she wanted to be. She calls it “becoming your own soulmate.”

Once she started focusing inward, huge shifts began to happen, and she met her soulmate (now husband) on a trip to Paris in true rom-com fashion.

Karen and I discuss the law of attraction and how you can harness your thoughts and beliefs to become absolutely magnetic to your soulmate.

She also explains how to:

  • Raise your vibrational frequency
  • Get into your goddess energy
  • Get clear on exactly what you desire to bring into your life

“If you’re looking for a soulmate, let’s not waste time on the non-soulmate people. Honor yourself and don’t spend another minute of your time with that person because you’re keeping yourself away from your soulmate by not having yourself available to them.” - Karen McPhail

Highlights:

06:06 - Manifesting Soulmates and Empowering Women

08:46 - Raising Vibrational Frequency

27:49 - Manifestation Techniques and Vision Boards

30:59 - Self-Discovery

Guest Bio:

Karen McPhail is an author, Master Certified Coach, and founder and CEO of Infinite Life Possibilities, LLC. Her dream and mission in life is to support individuals to clearly define what they want out of life and provide the coaching and training necessary to create and live that life!

Episode Summary:

Magnetize abundance, release money blocks, and find financial freedom!

In this episode, I dive into the world of finance from a FEMININE PERSPECTIVE, with money coach and former high-power financial manager, Kayleigh Provins.

For years (well….forever), we’ve been taught the “masculine way” was the only way to achieve wealth - being aggressive, working long hours, never showing emotions or vulnerability, and putting work above everything else.

Media, movies, and tv shows reinforce the idea that the masculine model is the only path to success. Think, The Devil Wears Prada and Succession. Or the female CEO of Yahoo only taking two weeks off after giving birth to twins!

But, according to research, female investors actually consistently outperform men!

Kayleigh helps us gain a new perspective on wealth mindset, money energetics, and the power of the feminine approach to finances.

In this episode we touch on topics such as:

  • How our beliefs about money shape our financial health
  • Masculine vs. Feminine money models
  • Connection between self-worth and wealth

“The energy of money is feminine and the energetic signature of money is actually gratitude.” - Kayleigh Provins

Highlights:

02:38 - Importance of financial health

13:04 - Impact of beliefs on financial abundance

20:33 - Societal constructs about wealth and success

28:56 - Empowering Women with Financial Skills

36:46 - Challenging Masculine Money Models

Guest Bio:

Kayleigh Provins is an energetic Money Mentor and the force behind Liberty Money and Life Coaching. She is dedicated to guiding soul-led entrepreneurs to transcend self-doubt and step into a realm of consistent cash flow.

With a focus on the three pillars of Money, Mindset, and Meaning, she helps her clients transform, create, and thrive on their journey to a life where money flows effortlessly.

Episode Summary:

The holidays are here and with them comes parties, dinners, celebrations, and lots of temptations.

Paired with the added stress of traveling, hosting, cooking, decorating, and shopping….overindulging and stress eating and drinking are all too common.

Many of us go into the holidays with the mindset of, “I’m off the diet right now, I’ll just let loose and deal with it next year.”

It’s common for women to gain 1-3 lbs between Thanksgiving and New Years. That may not sound like much, but statistics show most of us never take it back off, which really adds up year after year.

I don’t want you to go into the new year feeling heavy, bloated, regretful and facing a huge mountain to climb.

So, in this episode, I’m sharing my TOP 5 TIPS to indulge and enjoy your holiday, and still avoid the infamous holiday weight gain.

“One bad day and one bad meal does not break your diet. Just like how one workout is not going to get you in shape. It’s consistency that adds up.” - Sarah Haas

Episode Summary:

Women in midlife are often navigating a sea of personal change. Along with the physical changes that come with aging and menopause, many of us are experiencing divorce, retirement, career shifts, empty nests, or caring for aging parents.

This period in our lives can come with feelings of disappointment and self-doubt when we feel we haven’t accomplished “enough.” And we have a tendency to compare ourselves to others.

My guest on this episode, Christine Cataggio, Midlife Redesign Mentor, joins me to highlight the importance of accepting where you are in life and recognizing your unique gifts and talents.

Although midlife transformations can be challenging, they can also be a catalyst for significant personal growth, ushering in useful insight, and promoting resilience and self-discovery.

Christine encourages us to focus on our own path instead of comparing ourselves to others. She also emphasizes the need for self-worth, self-acceptance, AND self-care.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Recognizing the hurdles faced by women during midlife
  • Cultivating resilience
  • Positive self-talk
  • Establishing morning routines and rituals

.

“In midlife, we often neglect ourselves as we focus on others. We need to take care of ourselves so that we can take care of others. Find little ways to incorporate self-care into your daily routine, whether it's taking a breathing exercise or finding moments of quiet.” - Christine Catoggio

Highlights:

02:38 - What is a midlife redesign mentor?

05:35 - The importance of self-care

12:40 - Taking control and managing reactions

20:01 - Overcoming Self-Esteem Challenges

23:46 - Embracing Change and Relevance in Midlife

Episode Summary:

I was recently interviewed for the Elevate Women’s Empowerment Summit by host Linday Joy, and the conversation was so powerful, I just had to share it with you!

The topic: Midlife Metabolism.

As we age, our metabolism slows due to loss of muscle mass, hormonal changes, stress, a decrease in physical activity, and a host of other reasons.

But there’s so much you can do to get it back up and running at full speed.

In this episode I share three easy steps you can start implementing right away to start burning fat and releasing the midlife weight that’s been creeping up.

You start to feel better about yourself when you’re consistently moving forward. When you try to take on everything at once, that’s a setup for failure so you feel like you failed. But YOU didn’t fail, the plan failed.” - Sarah Haas

Episode Summary:

Have you ever noticed when you have a strong craving, it’s usually NOT because you’re actually hungry?

Whether it’s finishing a whole bag of chips or a sleeve of cookies at night while watching TV. Don’t worry, you’re not alone. We've all been there.

Whatever emotions drive you to overeat, the end result is often the same. You feel better temporarily, then the emotions return along with guilt… Then you eat to feel better… And the cycle continues.

In this episode, we’ll discuss:

  1. How to distinguish between hunger and cravings
  2. Root causes of emotional eating
  3. Four steps you can implement to break the cycle

Feelings aren’t going to kill you. It’s uncomfortable, but it’s not a bad thing. We are human. We are meant to cry and to be sad. If you don’t face what the emotion is, you’re never going to take action to deal with what needs to be dealt with.” - Sarah Haas

Highlights:

03:45 - Emotional Eating

06:20 - Reasons Why We Turn to Food

11:38 - Hunger vs Cravings

17:04 - Letting Your Emotions Flow Through You

Every moment, no matter how challenging, holds the potential for significant learning and growth. That’s because our experiences, both positive and negative, are designed to teach us something.

If you’re looking for practical strategies for navigating through difficult times, this episode is a must-listen.

I interviewed Donnalynn Riley, a resilience expert and joy coach, about the process of cultivating joy and inner peace even in the face of adversity.

Her own journey began when her husband passed away suddenly, then her house was sold just days later, forcing her to move. Instead of succumbing to despair, Donnalynn allowed herself to experience the pain of loss and the joy that coexisted in-between.

Donnalynn shares her insights and practical strategies for managing emotions and finding happiness.

In this episode, we touch on topics such as:

  • Fostering true happiness within
  • How trials can transform into treasured experiences
  • Harnessing the growth opportunities in life’s toughest tests
  • Understanding the process of healing and growing from adversity

If we can learn the skill of coming back to peace, this knowing that all is well, then you can act from a place that is far more peaceful, plugged in, and ultimately more powerful than your scenario. - Donnalyn Riley

Episode Summary:

Have you ever felt like your doctor wasn’t really listening to you? Or been intimidated about speaking up, or asking a question? Or gone ahead with a procedure or surgery that you weren’t really sure was right for you?

This episode is a MUST listen!

My guest is Susan Salinger, author of Sidelined, How Women Manage & Mismanage Their Health, a book that brings to the forefront the cultural history of gender bias in the medical community.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The barriers women face in getting the best medical care.
  • Why it’s so difficult for women to get an accurate diagnosis.
  • Practical advice to help you advocate for yourself and get the care you need and deserve.

It’s so easy to say that the doctor said it’s okay and to go about your life, but it doesn’t always work that way. You must always listen to your body.” - Susan Salinger

Episode Summary:

You’ve probably noticed almost everyone is wearing a smart watch or fitness tracker these days to count their daily steps and calories burned.

But you maaaay want to take that information with a grain of salt, especially when it comes to calories burned.

That’s because these devices can be anywhere from 20-90% inaccurate!

In this episode I’ll explain why and tell you which activities REALLY burn the most calories.

“No, you don’t need to throw out the fitness tracker. They do have a lot of benefits. I just don’t want you to take the information about your calories burned as your live and die. There is so much more to it than that and it’s not always giving you the full picture.” - Sarah Haas

Episode Summary:

Have you ever been told that embracing your feminine energy means sacrificing your ambition? Or that tapping into your emotions is a sign of weakness?

These deeply held, centuries old societal messages have caused women to discount their feminine gifts, and, instead, embody a masculine model in order to be perceived as strong and successful.

However, unlocking your true potential requires recognizing and embracing BOTH the divine feminine and sacred masculine energies.

THIS is the key, not only to greater personal growth and potential, but to changing societal norms to value feminine perspectives as EQUAL to masculine models.

My guest this week, Crystal Cockerham, is a truly inspiring spiritual leader and author. She helps women embrace their divine feminine energy and unlock their full potential by guiding them through their unique journeys of self-discovery using the Red Tent method.

In this episode we:

  • Explore the power of the Red Tent tradition
  • Expand our understanding of divine feminine and sacred masculine forces and their role in our lives
  • Uncover the benefits of honoring womanhood for personal and collective growth
  • Learn how to tap into your innate intuitive abilities
  • Realize the transformative power of creating better self-awareness

“Our entire life is nothing but one giant transformation. If we were the same exact person every single day, yet were physically aging, we could never spiritually mature, and our life would actually become quite boring.” - Crystal Cockerham

Episode Summary:

What's your story? And by "story," I mean the inner dialogue you have every day about yourself.

Is it empowering and inspirational, or negative and full of limiting beliefs?

The story you tell yourself directly affects your mindset, which drives your actions, which creates your reality.

We all draw conclusions about ourselves based on how we interpret our past experiences. Unfortunately, a lot of the time, we blow up the negative and skip right over the positive!

But, we can reframe our mindset to see how we were able to overcome obstacles and create accomplishment and success. How we became stronger from those experiences.

What we think are our biggest “messes,” are actually our turnaround stories.

My guest on this episode is Carrie Rowan, author, mindset energy coach and award winning singer/songwriter. Her bestselling book, Tell a New Story, 5 Simple Steps to Release Your Negative Stories and Bring Joy to Your Life, outlines how to identify and break free from the negative stories we tell ourselves.

Whatever you focus on is what you’ll get more of.” - Carrie Rowan

Episode Summary:

In today’s episode, my guest, Julia Thie, a medical support certified clinical hypnotherapist, shows us a science-based method to create health and happiness by clearing negative thought patterns.

And, no, hypnotherapy is NOT like the Vegas stage shows where people go into a “trance,” lose control, and cluck like a chicken!

It’s forming a communication between your conscious mind and your subconscious mind, so you can tap into your inner, core beliefs and learn to reprogram the deep stories we tell ourselves that create blocks and keep us stuck.

Instead of LOSING control, you’re GAINING control.

Julia discusses how hypnotherapy can help with emotional eating, phobias, depression, anxiety, anger management, and many other issues.

She touches on topics such as:

  • Core healing
  • Subconscious Programming
  • Visualization
  • The Hypnotherapy Process
  • Steps to Self-Healing

“We tend to think it’s our frontal brain that’s running the show and making decisions, but you will only act on what your subconscious believes and wants to do.” - Julia Thie

Highlights

02:05 What Hypnotherapy Actually Is

Guest Bio:

Julia Thie practices clinical hypnotherapy to rewrite the deep stories we tell ourselves that create blocks to our healing and happiness. She is an expert in the integration of mind, body, and spirit using the proven methods of hypnosis to connect, express and reframe subconscious triggers into love, peace, and confidence.

After 30 years in practice as an exercise physiologist and acupuncturist, and treating thousands of people, Julia became a member of The International Board of Hypnotherapy as a Medical Support Certified Hypnotherapist offering online and in-person sessions.

Episode Summary:

When WHO we’re told to be doesn’t fit with who we REALLY ARE, we suffer.

Our confidence, our energy, and our health take a hit when we’re constantly trying to fit into a preconceived mold that doesn’t suit our true essence.

And tamping down our authentic selves and trying to be something we're not, eventually causes burnout, which can affect our thyroids, adrenals, and immune systems.

My guest on this episode, Nancy Okeefe, is a Human Design Specialist and Intuitive Coach. She teaches that we all have a unique energetic blueprint that describes who we are and how we’re wired to operate in the world…..Our Human Design.

Human design is a personality assessment tool that can be used to tap into how we are divinely designed and how we can use our unique set of skills and talents to serve our life’s purpose and reach our highest potential.

Nancy teaches how to use Human Design for:

  • Intuitive decision making
  • Relationships
  • Fulfilling your life’s purpose
  • Avoiding burnout
  • Creating physical health

“You haven’t forgotten who you are, you’ve just pushed it in the background. It just takes a little remembering.” - Nancy Okeefe

Episode Summary:

Do you ever walk into a room and feel overwhelmed by all the energy around you? Or listened to a friend who’s hurting and it completely changed your mood? Does watching upsetting news stories deeply affect you?

If so, you might be an Empath.

An Empath is a person highly attuned to the feelings and emotions of those around them. Empaths FEEL what others are feeling at a deep emotional level.

Being sensitive and intuitive is an amazing gift, because you’re able to understand people on a deeper level. However, absorbing too much of the energy around you can cause high levels of stress, anxiety, and burnout if you don’t protect yourself and replenish your energy.

My guest on this episode, Robin Fitzsimons, is an intuitive, spiritual teacher, and certified holistic life coach who works with Empaths to help them learn coping skills to manage their sensitivities and avoid overwhelm.

She explains:

  1. What it means to be an Empath
  2. How carrying others’ feelings and emotions can affect your mood, energy, anxiety level, and overall health
  3. How to clear away other people’s energy to reset and achieve calm
  4. How to set boundaries around your own energy

“We can get ourselves overwhelmed thinking, ‘I can’t do this,’ but we don’t have to make it so hard.” - Robin Fitzsimons

Did you know urinary incontinence and leakage are not just a “normal part of aging,” or something that happens after you have kids?

Or, that there’s a lot you can do if you have pain during sex, dryness, sexual dysfunction, or difficulty with orgasms?

My guest on this episode, Christina Jensen, D.P.T., who specializes in pelvic health, shares how pelvic floor physical therapy can help with all this and more.

As women, we hold a lot of our stress in our pelvic floor - from everyday emotional stress, past traumas, childbirth, and other reasons - which accumulate over time, causing pain and other issues.

Dr. Christina gives us her top three tools we can use ourselves to improve the health of our pelvic floor. She discusses:

  • How stress affects your pelvic floor function
  • How to do a self-awareness exam
  • The importance of masturbation
  • Stress Management and self-care

“We deserve to enjoy our lives, and we deserve to be resilient women. I think that pelvic floor physical therapy is a great tool in your toolbox to achieve that.” - Dr. Christina Jensen D.P.T.

Episode Summary:

Do you have the best intentions when it comes to starting healthy habits, but struggle when it comes to maintaining them?

You’re not alone!

Most of us have tried and failed many, many times. Then we feel bad about ourselves, thinking we don’t have the willpower, self-discipline, or motivation to stick to our goals.

It can be difficult at first to take different actions and adapt to a new routine, but, when you do, over time, you actually change your brain pathways. New ones get strengthened, and the old ones fade away.

In this episode, I’ll show you the top 3 reasons why what you’re doing isn’t working, and how to create habits so they not only stick, but become second nature.

“If you really want to maintain something, you have to take it slow and take it step by step. It’s what you do day after day that adds up. Overall consistency is what creates success.” - Sarah Haas

Episode Summary:

Have you ever wondered what the secret is to living a long, happy, healthy life?

People who live the longest, have the lowest incidence of disease and disability, and are the happiest, have a lot more in common than just exercise and a healthy diet.

Author and journalist, Dan Buettner, traveled around the world to study the “pockets” or communities of people with the highest number of centenarians (people who live to be 100), which he calls the Blue Zones.

What are they doing differently that contributes to their emotional well-being, disease prevention, and longevity?

The people living in these Blue Zones have similar lifestyle habits and environments that go far beyond food and movement. There’s also a strong focus on social activities, community, relationships, stress reduction, and spirituality.

In this episode we’ll explore those commonalities and find ways we can incorporate them to make our own lives happier and healthier.

“If you have a positive outlook, you are shown to live longer.” - Sarah Haas

Episode Summary:

If you’ve been struggling to stay consistent with your health goals and find yourself losing and gaining the same weight over and over, I want you to know, it’s not your fault.

Most diets are so overwhelming and restrictive, nobody could ever stick to them long term. They’re a setup for failure from the start. But when they stop working, you blame yourself for not having enough “willpower.”

So you buy another miserable, unreasonable plan. Which doesn’t last. And the cycle continues. The dieting industry keeps making money, while you feel worse and worse about yourself and keep searching for the next best thing.

In this episode I’ll share 4 red flags to look for in a diet, so you don’t waste your time or money. I’ll also teach you exactly what DOES work so you can finally release the weight in a healthy, balanced way, and NEVER HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT AGAIN.

“I believe that getting healthy should feel good. It shouldn’t be miserable and restrictive. It should fill you with energy and joy.” - Sarah Haas

Episode Summary:

It’s my 50th episode! 🎉

When I started this podcast, my goal was, and still is, to teach you how to be healthy, release extra weight, and feel good about yourself. And for you to be empowered to know you absolutely DO have the power to create the health and the life you want.

Waaaaay too many of us are not happy with ourselves or the way we look. And constantly feeling like we’re not enough – thin enough, pretty enough, successful enough….. We’re working SO hard, and yet, still feeling ashamed for what we see as our failures or shortcomings.

Being healthy is not just about your weight, what you eat, and the exercises you do. Overall health is a holistic combination of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual components. It’s your stress level, career satisfaction, the quality of your relationships, and so much more.

In this episode, I’m teaching you about the Four Pillars of Health and why each one is so important for creating the balanced, healthy lifestyle you dream of.

  1. EAT - Nourishing yourself with healthy, delicious, satisfying foods
  2. MOVE – Exercise and body movement
  3. BREATHE - Listening to your body, self-care, rest, and rejuvenation
  4. THRIVE - Mental health, mindset, confidence, joy, and worthiness

The solution to making change and breaking patterns is taking one small step in a different direction. I’m here to show you exactly how.

“You can break the pattern by doing something different, and taking one small step in a different direction.” - Sarah Haas

Episode Summary:
One of the biggest reasons for not sticking to New Year’s resolutions is not having a specific plan of action for achieving them. Instead, we look at the whole big picture, and if the mountain looks too high and intimidating, we get “paralysis by overwhelm.” Or we go all in, take on too much at once, and can’t sustain it, so we give up.

That’s where goal setting comes in—creating specific, doable ACTION STEPS that lay out the path to your final destination. This is the key to building good habits that you can stay consistent with over time.

This episode is a mini goal-setting workshop to show you exactly how to set goals that stick using the S.M.A.R.T goals method.

  • Specific
  • Measurable
  • Achievable
  • Relevant
  • Time-sensitive

Grab a pen and a cup of tea, and let’s get to work!

“Small changes really add up to big shifts over time.” - Sarah Haas

Episode Summary:

This week’s special guest, Judith Richey, certified practitioner and spiritual healer, shares her personal story of going from being miserable and unhealthy mentally, emotionally, and physically to finding the courage to stand up for herself and take bold action to get the life she wanted.

She now works with other women to help them heal what she calls “soul wounds” - the deeper reasons life just doesn’t seem to be working, whether that’s in relationships, career, or other aspects of life.

In this episode, Judith walks us through how to use muscle testing, a healing method to:

  • Access your soul’s wisdom to get definitive answers to what direction you’re supposed to go
  • Identify and clear patterns and blocks that are weighing you down
  • Help you make decisions and choices when you know you need a change, but you’re not sure what to change or how

Judith also shares her three-step plan to create an exact roadmap to get to your dream life.

“The beauty of going through those difficulties is in the gifts from the lesson.” - Judith Richey

Episode Summary:

As women, we’re trained to be people pleasers. To keep others happy. To be nice and compliant. We tend to put our own needs and dreams aside because we feel responsible for everyone else.

My guest this week, Elaine Blaise, life coach, author and “Midlife Troublemaker,” was living the life she thought she wanted. She had a marriage of 37 years and a successful career of 25 years. She had set goals for her life and was following the plan.

But she had a constant niggling feeling something was missing. And she started paying attention to her discontent. This inner wisdom was showing her what she needed to walk away from and what was no longer serving her.

She explains how she was able to LEAN IN to her discontent instead of avoiding it, and how that led her to pursue the life SHE wanted, instead of the one others expected her to live.

“We’re always growing, expanding, and changing. I had to get honest with myself about where I wasn’t meeting my own needs.” - Elaine Blais

Episode Summary:

Taking some time to reflect on the past year and setting intentions for the year to come can be a very powerful motivator to start setting things in motion for what you want to attract into your life.

I want to help you create your most successful year yet! And, by success, I don’t just mean in your career. I mean success in your physical health, relationships, environment, home and, most importantly, your relationship with yourself.

Your outside world, meaning what is all around you, is a direct reflection of your inner beliefs, thoughts and emotions.

This New Year Reflection/Manifestation Ritual can help you uncover what your inner beliefs are about yourself, shed what is no longer serving you and see what is possible for your life.

I can’t wait to see what the New Year has in store for you!

“Your beliefs, your emotions and your thoughts create your actions.” - Sarah Haas

Episode Summary:

Right now, we are living in an epidemic of stress and anxiety. And it’s especially high around the holidays because we have so much to do.

We get caught in a vicious cycle of pushing ourselves to get more done. And the busier we get, the more stressed we feel. As a result, our energy gets low, and we accomplish less. But, instead of resting, we push harder to try and get more done. And the cycle continues…

What we REALLY need is to slow down and take some time for self-care.

We often feel like self-care is self-indulgent or selfish. We think it takes time AWAY from other people who need us or projects we need to accomplish.

In reality, taking time for ourselves relieves stress and resets our energy, making us more productive and present for the people in our lives.

In this episode, we’ll talk about self-care, why you need it so much, and exactly how you can get it.

“Your thoughts become actions, and your actions create your outer reality that creates your life.” - Sarah Haas

Episode Summary:

With temptation all around, we can all indulge a little over the holidays. Don’t beat yourself up about it, but also don’t let it completely derail you from your goals. Getting healthy and staying healthy doesn’t require an all-or-nothing, or “cold turkey” approach.

That’s where you get stuck in the weight cycling trap. You’re either “on a diet” (miserable and deprived) or “not on a diet,” (overindulgent, bloated and feeling guilty all the time).

The method I teach is to ADD IN to CROWD OUT. Which means you flip your mindset from a deprivation and stripping away focus, to thinking about all the wonderful, delicious, nourishing foods and activities you can add in.

In this episode, I’ll give you my top four super-easy suggestions for healthy stuff you can add in to crowd out the less-than-healthy. Without feeling deprived or like you’re missing out!

Moderation and consistency are key to getting through the holidays and feeling great in the New Year!

“Wherever you put your focus is where you’ll take action.” - Sarah Haas

Highlights

03:38 Introducing Adding In to Crowd Out

04:47 Step One - Water

06:22 Step Two - Moving Your Body

Episode Summary:

Most of us have experienced a deep loss at one time or another in our lives. Whether it's the loss of a loved one, a relationship, our health, or other challenging circumstances, we can be empowered to find meaning through that experience and use it to transform our lives.

In this episode, my guest, Lisa Hromada, author and Empowered Lifeview™ Guide, shares her story of surviving the loss of multiple pregnancies and how she was able to heal and find meaning and purpose from this time of challenge.

Lisa explains how to move forward after a deep loss or challenging time and how to shift your mindset to embrace empowerment instead of a victim mentality.

She shares how she was able to release the need to control and to “humbly surrender into the arms of the divine” in order to discover the purpose she was meant to serve.

In this episode we explore the following:

  • Why we have difficult experiences
  • What we can do with them
  • How we can heal and evolve and grow
  • How we can use our experiences to contribute to the world
  • How to make way for self-compassion, patience, and ultimately self-love.

“Through a time of challenge, we can all be awakened to something better, we can move forward in empowering ways.” - Lisa Hromada

Episode Summary:

Many of us have so many responsibilities we lose sight of who we are and what we really want out of our lives. We tend to care for and give to everyone else, while neglecting our own needs.

This mindset comes from a place of unworthiness…….“I’m not good enough.” “I don’t deserve to treat myself well.”

This week's guest is Alyssa Williamson, a mindset and intuitive success coach. She shares with us her story of how she used to be a Type A, high achiever, “sleep-is-for-the-weak” workaholic, and how she turned it around to become an advocate for other women to break free from that cycle.

Our culture encourages us to be constantly busy and “productive” and that your value is based on your activities and achievements, but Alyssa reminds us that your value is based on who you are, not how much you do.

She teaches us her three-step method to create a mindset reset, clear false beliefs and take those first steps toward making a change.

“Choose the things that bring you joy because that will lead to more inspiration and that will lead to more fun in your life.”- Alyssa Williamson

Alyssa Williamson is a Mindset & Intuitive Success Coach, ThetaHealer, Marketing Consultant, and Branding expert who has worked with business owners for 14+ years in growing their businesses. She empowers female entrepreneurs and service providers to create more income in their business while working less, through client attraction, mindset shifts, intuitive activation, and science backed high performance techniques. Her burning desire is to empower you to live the life of adventure and freedom that calls to your soul.

Episode Summary:

People often think that the number on the scale or your BMI determine your ideal weight and whether or not you’re healthy. The truth is, these are not accurate measurements of overall health.

Or we go by what society tells us we should look like. Always striving for that “ideal,” which is impossible to achieve, and always leaves us feeling like we failed.

We compare ourselves to celebrities, people we know, and people we see on Instagram.

On today’s episode, I’ll show you how to find that “sweet spot” in determining what is healthy for you, why “skinny” does not equal happy or healthy, and how to enjoy life NOW instead of waiting till you’re a certain size.

“It’s not about the number on the scale. Your ideal weight is not one-size-fits-all. It’s personal to you. It’s about being healthy, happy, and comfortable in your own body.”

- Sarah Haas

Host Bio:

Sarah Haas is a Women’s Weight Release Expert and Body Love Coach. Her passion is helping midlife women release weight, transform their health, and step into the badass, Boss Body life they deserve.

Her health journey began when her six-year-old son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. She threw herself into studying and learning all about nutrition. And in the process, she made some big changes herself for her kids and family.

Iin 2019 she was diagnosed with stage II breast cancer. She realized her life was centered on caring for everyone else (work, kids, family, etc.). Everyone except herself. She realized that stress, lack of self-care, and not listening to her body’s messages was literally making her sick.

Throughout her cancer treatments, she focused on her own self-care. And it paid off! Today she is completely cancer-free, and not only does she have her health and energy back, but she also has more strength, joy, and vitality than she ever imagined.

Episode Summary:

My topic today is midlife weight gain. Why it happens. What we can do about it.

Did you know the average woman gains 1 - 2 pounds per year between ages 40 - 59? That creeps up to a total of about 20-40 pounds in midlife. Ugh!!!

So many life changes are happening around this time: pregnancy weight gain, higher stress levels, sedentary jobs, low energy, and more.

PLUS all kinds of hormonal changes are taking place in your body. Starting in your 30s, estrogen levels begin to drop and you start losing muscle mass, which causes extra weight to settle around the midsection.

Although this all sounds inevitable, there are many ways that you can reverse this trend. Stay tuned and I’ll give you all the goods!

“I don’t want you to lose hope because there are a lot of things you can do to reverse this and stop that slow weight gain over the years.”

Episode Summary:

Last week we talked about treatments, prevention and all of the logistics of breast cancer. This week I’m diving in waaaaaaay deeper into my inner struggles and how I got through it. No matter what difficult situation you’re going through, I believe the lessons I learned can also help you get through difficult times

In this episode, I go in-depth about how, even when you can’t control the outcome, you can control how you cope and your own mental health. When you look within and change the perspective from “This is happening TO me,” to “This is happening FOR me,” you are able to look at your situation from an eternal perspective and learn to accept and receive.

I’ll touch on topics like:

  • Connecting to a higher power
  • Working through the dark moments and feelings of anger and despair
  • Being still and allowing yourself to receive
  • Disease is an opportunity to look within yourself

Episode Summary:

As a breast cancer survivor (two years cancer free!!!), Breast Cancer Awareness Month can trigger lots of fears and memories I’d frankly rather forget. I'm not a fan of re-living what was by far the scariest experience of my life.

But I believe we all go through difficult situations for a reason. And that part of the reason I experienced this journey is so the lessons I learned can flow through me and ripple out to others.

On this episode, I begin a two-part series about my experiences as a breast cancer survivor and how YOU can apply what I’ve learned to push through your own fears and find strength in any situation.

I’ll touch on topics like:

  • Breast health
  • Why paying attention to statistics is so important
  • Why awareness and early-detection can make all the difference
  • How I found out I had breast cancer
  • Treatments and prevention tactics (so you never have to go through what I went through)
  • Lessons I learned and how it applies to your life

Next week, we’ll dive into how cancer changed my life, what it taught me and how you can get through any difficulties and come out stronger and thriving on the other side.

I recently had a very meaningful conversation with two amazing breast cancer thrivers on a VoiceAmerica radio show, Rock Your Midlife with Dr. Ellen Albertson, on how to view suffering and challenges as opportunities. You can listen to the episode HERE or search Rock Your Midlife wherever you get your podcasts.

“Get your mammograms every single year. Do not delay. Put it on your schedule. If breast cancer is detected early, there is a 99% chance of survival.”

Episode Summary:

If you Google the word “midlife,” the first suggestions that come up all include the word “crisis.” It’s true we experience some major shifts in our internal and external worlds around this time, such as:

  • Going back to work, beginning a new career, or retiring
  • Kids getting older or having an empty nest
  • Changes in your body
  • Going through peri-menopause or menopause
  • Creating or dissolving personal relationships

But it certainly doesn’t have to be a “crisis”!

In fact, this time of change gives us a chance to re-imagine ourselves and decide how we want our “second adulthood” to look as we step into more wisdom, knowledge and confidence.

In this episode, special guest Dr. Ellen Albertson, aka the “Midlife Whisperer,” bestselling author of Rock Your Midlife: 7 Steps to Transform Yourself and Make Your Next Chapter Your Best Chapter, is here to challenge these outdated concepts about midlife and show us how to make this age our BEST age.

Dr. Ellen explains how midlife can be a beautiful transformation for both your body and your mind, and can be one of the best times of your life. She outlines 7 powerful steps to Rock Your Midlife and emerge feeling beautiful, strong and healthy.

Episode Summary:

Work life, home, kids, pets, family, spouses/partners, extracurriculars. The never-ending to-do list….We women carry a lot on our shoulders.

And STILL we often feel like we’re not doing enough! We compare ourselves to others who seem to be doing it all. We feel guilty and selfish for taking time for ourselves.

And our energy and our health suffer.

My guest today, Claire Stadhouder, is a certified mindset coach who specializes in working with moms transitioning from staying at home to working outside the home full time.

But her message applies to all women looking to find joy and give their life meaning during their “second act.”

Claire shares her top four tips to:

  • be more focused, efficient and effective
  • gain more time
  • take our power back and be in control of our schedule, our life and our health
  • prioritize our own mental and physical health

“Every time you say yes to something, you’re saying no to something else. Make sure you’re not saying no to yourself.”

Episode Summary:

Is the life you’re living right now the life you want to live forever? Or do you have a persistent, niggling feeling you want something more?

To be truly healthy, you have to look at how all areas of your life affect your well-being.

The career you choose, whether inside or outside the home, is where you expend so much of your energy every day…..Your life’s energy. And what you do can either charge you up or drain you.

In this week’s episode, my guest, Shelly Hughes, new mom and entrepreneur, shares her experience of going from a successful career in corporate America to realizing she had a calling in a different direction.

She was caught up in the hustle and grind, working long hours and long weeks, and focused on climbing the corporate ladder. But overall, the results of her labor weren’t making her happy or fulfilled.

Shelly explains how she was able to push past her fears, insecurities, and self-sabotage patterns to chase the vision she had for her life.

She shares her four-step process to help us tune in to our intuition, find our true voice, and face our fears so we can take action to grab the life we’re meant for.

Episode Summary:

Many of us, including myself, struggle with mental health challenges. Stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, difficulty concentrating, overwhelm, burnout, and other issues can have a negative impact on our ability to realize our full potential both personally and professionally.

In this week’s episode, my guest Melissa Franklin, business and leadership coach, shares how she went from being an unhealthy, in-debt, single mom, with bipolar disorder and ADHD, to becoming a successful entrepreneur, educator, non-profit business owner, and Ph.D. student.

Her story shows us that balanced health and a thriving life are ABSOLUTELY achievable, regardless of the hurdles you have to overcome. But she stresses that you cannot do it alone. Instead, you must find the right TEAM of people to support you through a combination of nutrition, physical fitness, and medical and mental health.

Melissa shares with us how to:

  1. Cope with and overcome mental health challenges
  2. Take charge of your mental and emotional wellness
  3. Create structure and set goals in order to move forward
  4. Become organized and more effective

If you’re stressed out, burned out, or just plain struggling, you do not want to miss this episode!

Episode Summary:

Picture this…..

You wake up in the morning, make the coffee, take a shower, maybe even pack your lunch and get everything together for the day. You have 15 minutes before you have to leave. It’s been a great morning, and all you have left to do is get dressed. So you go into the closet, try on 12 different outfits - only to wear something you don’t feel comfortable in, and leave the house feeling defeated like your body is the problem.

Maybe you’re in the process of, or about to start, a wellness journey, and your size right now isn’t the size you plan to end up in. So you hesitate to buy anything new until you can fit into that “goal” outfit. Aaaaaaand, you end up wearing the frumpy, ill-fitting, old clothes you don’t like.

Unfortunately, as women, many of us have been here (or maybe even are right now).

My special guest this week, personal stylist Elysha Lenkin, who has styled celebrities such as Carrie Underwood, Tina Fey, and Serena Williams, calls this the clothing “weight gap.”

She’ll explain how to dress for this stage in your wellness journey. What to buy, what to keep, and what to get rid of. Plus, how to dress to accentuate your positive assets.

She’ll also talk about the positive effects of owning clothes that fit YOUR body - not your dream body, and how you can learn to allow your body the freedom to be confident NOW and not wait to feel good once you reach a certain size or number on the scale.

Episode Summary:

Did you know that scars hold physical tension, affecting the surrounding tissue and muscles, which can cause chronic pain, digestive issues, and other health problems?

On this episode, I talk with Kendra Toothill, Athletic Therapist, who specializes in working with scars to unravel, not only the physical tension, but also to release trapped emotions within the scars. Every scar has a story…..C-sections, surgeries, accidents, traumas, etc. And the scars hold these stories, as well as the emotions connected to them.

Kendra explains how, when we do hands-on work with our scars, it provides a tangible access point to release stuck emotional energy and work through those trapped emotions. This can be an incredible healing process which frees us from what’s weighing us down, and allows us to build a deeper connection with ourselves and reclaim our bodies.

Episode Summary:

Today’s guest, Linda Babulic, #1 International Bestselling Author and life coach, had an extremely successful career and was steadily climbing the corporate ladder. From the outside, it looked like an ideal life, with a great job, a husband, and two children.

But she was working long hours, even on weekends, and she was exhausted and feeling like something was missing. There was an empty piece inside….a yearning for something she couldn’t quite put her finger on. And a constant, heavy feeling of being responsible for everyone else around her.

The stress of “carrying the world on her shoulders” eventually created illness in her body. That was the catalyst to her decision to slow down and start connecting with herself and the world around her. To see life differently and appreciate it every day.

Today, Linda draws on her training in shamanic wisdom to teach us how we can create a morning sacred practice to start the day with gratitude instead of stressing about the day ahead and our extra long to-do list.

She shows us how this one, simple but powerful step can help us identify what’s missing in our lives, step into our own power, and live every day connected with ourselves and the world around us.

Episode Summary:

Studies show that holding on to old pain, anger, and resentment affects both your mental AND physical health.

A buildup of these negative emotions can cause stress, anxiety, and panic attacks and can negatively affect your heart and immune system.

Emotional pain also interferes with our ability to take positive action toward our goals. Which means it’s literally weighing us down!

In this episode, I’ll explain how forgiveness can free us from the past and help us release both emotional and physical weight.

Forgiveness DOES NOT mean you’re condoning a specific action. Or that what someone did to you was ok. Or that you have to keep subjecting yourself to more of the same.

It means that you take back your power by releasing yourself from the burden of anger. And you are no longer allowing the past to dictate how you feel in the present.

I’ll give you two action steps you can implement RIGHT NOW so you can step into joy and freedom.

This is a powerful one, my friend! You don’t want to miss it.

Episode Summary:

Keto, South Beach, Atkins, oh my!….Eating low carb or no carb is all the rage right now!

And people that are doing it appear to be dropping pounds quickly.

So this must be the answer, right?!

Well….it’s not as straightforward as you may think.

In this episode, I'll explain:

  • Why quality carbs absolutely SHOULD be a regular part of your diet
  • Why cutting out or dramatically reducing carbs does more harm than good
  • How to make healthy eating sustainable and enjoyable long term

When you start cutting out entire food groups (like all carbohydrates), your body misses the vital nutrients it needs to function.

Eating healthy, fibrous, complex carbohydrates gives you nutrition and energy, AND it staves off cravings, so you don't end up inhaling every carb in sight when you get to your breaking point.

I'll break it all down for you so you can eat in a way that supports your weight loss AND is doable so you can stick with it.

Episode Summary:

Do you ever think, “If I were skinny, my life would be amazing?” Or, “When I get to that size, I’ll be much happier.”?

You may think thin people have all their shit together, they’re totally in control, they have tons of energy, and everything is just Instagram perfect.

​​Well, guess what….if you don’t do the INNER work along with the OUTER work, your life will be pretty much the same, regardless of the number on the scale.

The challenges and self-esteem issues you have now will still be there; they’ll just take a different form. If you are unhappy with your relationships, career, family, or whatever it is, having a thinner body won’t make it any better.

Listen to today’s episode to find out how to feel good NOW and how THAT is the key to losing weight and never having to deal with it again.

Episode Summary:

Today’s episode is a little different.

Normally I have guests on, or I’ll do teaching topics, but today the tables have turned.

I’m sharing an interview I had on iHeartRadio station WNJR, on The Power of EFT Tapping. I’ll talk about my breast cancer journey, mental health, and having a son diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.

Every challenge I’ve faced has helped me learn and grow into a richer, deeper person. And I strive to use every life lesson to help others on their life journey as well. I believe I am a vessel (and so is everyone!) for knowledge and self-actualization and that everything flows through me and ripples out to others.

I hope you’ll join me on my journey. ✨

Episode Summary:

Can you believe that we’re on episode 22?! 🎉 I’m still wrapping my head around it.

In this week’s episode, I’m diving into the concept of how to get to your ideal weight through Intuitive Eating. That is, trusting your body’s cues to tell you exactly what to eat, when to eat, and how much to eat.

Our bodies are the most super-intelligent beings ever created. All we really have to do to lose weight is tap into our natural internal wisdom.

The problem is, we’ve ignored and tuned out our body’s messages about what it needs (think, working through lunch and ignoring hunger because we’re “in the zone”) for so long, that we’ve become disconnected and numb.

Plus, diet culture, with its deprivation, hunger, and restriction methods, further distances us from our bodies and reinforces the restrict/binge weight cycling pattern.

In this episode, I’ll explain exactly how to get back in tune with yourself so you can lose weight naturally and with ease.

Her health journey began when her six-year-old son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. So she threw herself into studying and learning all about nutrition. And in the process, she made some big changes herself for the sake of her kids, her family, and herself.

Then, in 2019 she was diagnosed with stage II breast cancer. She realized her life was centered on caring for everyone else (work, kids, family, etc.). Everyone except herself. She realized that stress, lack of self-care, and not listening to her body’s messages was literally making her sick.

Throughout her cancer treatments, she focused on her own self-care. And it paid off! Today she is completely cancer-free, and not only does she have her health and energy back, but she also has more strength, joy, and confidence than she ever imagined.

She draws on her experiences with her own health and self-discovery to teach you how to break through unhealthy patterns and put you on the path to having the truly healthy, balanced life you’ve always wanted.

Episode Summary:

Is there a “magic pill” to help us lose weight forever?

It may shock you to know that doctors get ALMOST NO training about nutrition in medical school. Yet, so many of us look to our doctor for help losing weight.

Today’s special guest, Dr. Amanda Dove, primary care physician, shares with us how your doctor can be an integral part of your weight loss “team.”

She’ll also give us her viewpoints on diet pills, stomach surgery, medical weight loss, and what you really need in order to achieve sustainable, healthy living. ✨

We want confidence. We want to blossom into the authentic, beautiful person we really are.

Today’s special guest, Sarah Sparks, is a spiritual business mentor. She shares with us her own journey to self-acceptance and how she now helps others realize they are meant for more.

Episode Summary:

Sugar! Sugar! Sugar! It’s everywhere and we love it soooo much. It's a pick-me-up. It's an energy boost. It's a comfort.

It's probably THE MOST detrimental factor in losing weight. We know it’s not good for us, but the cravings are real. And it’s just so hard to resist.

It’s time to break up, and I’m going to show you how.

In today’s episode, I’ll explain why we crave it so much and how to break the addiction. No, you don’t have to give it up completely. Instead, I’ll show you how to enjoy it in moderation and be in control instead of your cravings controlling you.

Episode Summary:

Want to burn off stored fat and turn your body into a fat-burning machine? Duh!

You may think eating “low fat” is the way to lose weight, but low-fat foods have added sugar and chemicals to make up for the loss of flavor. So the added SUGAR is actually causing weight gain. Annoying, right?!

In today’s episode, I’m taking apart the food pyramid and busting through myths and outdated science to teach you exactly how to burn off the fat you’ve been carrying around, once and for all.

Episode Summary:

Summer break is coming! Yay! And, hopefully, with it, a relaxing vacation.

But often the loss of structure from kids getting out of school and traveling can cause us to fall off the wagon with healthy habits.

Overeating, drinking way too many cocktails, staying up late, skipping exercise….

Aaaaand gaining weight and having to start ALL OVER AGAIN in the fall.

This is the year that ends! In this episode, I’ll show you how you can enjoy that extra cocktail but still stay on track and emerge from summer slim, healthy, and rejuvenated. ✨

Episode Summary:

Today’s episode welcomes special guest Jennifer Koch, personal stylist, and owner and founder of Stylegasm.

Jennifer shares with us her expertise on how to look fabulous and be confident in our clothes RIGHT NOW instead of waiting until we’re a certain size or weight.

She teaches how to be confident and sexy, no matter what shape or size you are. And how to own who you are and show up in style.

Key points:

  • How to maximize the clothes we already have instead of buying a whole new wardrobe.
  • What clothes to get rid of.
  • What colors help us look and feel our best.
  • How to accentuate the positive, look slimmer, and create illusions.

Weight loss is not just about calories and exercise. It’s so much about self-love and self-talk. And when you change that narrative, magical things show up. ✨

Kelly Montross Bio:

Fitness has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up trying a wide variety of sports. Competitive cheerleading ended up being my passion, which I continued to pursue throughout high school. In college, I coached cheerleading and tumbling. For my personal fitness route, I took up running recreationally as well as taking advantage of the college fitness facilities. Unfortunately, after years of running incorrectly, I developed an issue with my IT band which led me to try different types of fitness. I tried a basic gym membership, Zumba, insanity, p90x, and yoga, and then I stumbled upon CrossFit and fell in love. So much so that I ended up co-owning a CrossFit gym and coaching for a few years.

While I was coaching I realized I had a passion for helping people reach their fitness goals. There's nothing more rewarding to me than to see someone accomplish something they never knew they had in them! I decided along the way that I wanted to pursue one-on-one training because I enjoy getting to know my clients on a more personal level. I realize that one thing that works for one person may not work for the next person. Therefore, I want each client to find a fitness routine they enjoy and a balanced nutrition plan that will help maintain a healthy lifestyle long term and not just temporarily.

She draws on her experiences with her own health and self-discovery to teach you how to break through unhealthy patterns and put you on the path to having the truly healthy, balanced life you’ve always wanted.

Episode Summary:

How often do you beat yourself up, thinking you don’t have enough willpower? And that if you could just maintain motivation, you’d lose the weight and keep it off.

But thinking that you're going to have willpower all the time is not realistic. Willpower and motivation ebb and flow. It is FLEETING. For everyone.

In today’s episode, I’ll share what the actual problem is and what to do to fix it. When you get down to the root of the issue, there are two things that you need to make it work.

  • A lifestyle that supports your healthy diet and exercise habits
  • A positive mindset (no matter how you’ve “failed” in the past)

I’ll show you exactly how to do both to create MAINTAINABLE success - no willpower required!

Episode Summary:

Do you have an inner critic inside your head that’s constantly putting you down?

A voice that goes around and around in your head all day saying negative things?

The private conversations you have with yourself can either be motivating and powerful or major obstacles to reaching your goals.

Thoughts create emotions, emotions create actions, actions create your reality. Negative predictions can quickly turn into self-fulfilling prophecies.

Negative thinking brings you down, zaps your energy, crushes your confidence, makes you tired, and makes you afraid to put yourself out there.

In this episode, I share four steps that can help you break that vicious cycle and start feeling positive and motivated about getting healthy.

  1. Observe your inner monologue.
  2. Start developing compassion for yourself.
  3. “If you wouldn't say it to a friend, don't say it to yourself.”
  4. Turn negative thoughts around into something positive.

It takes time to change something you’ve been doing for YEARS. Take it one step at a time and be gentle with yourself.

Episode Summary:

How often do you struggle with having a packed schedule and not having time to take care of your body?

I 100% understand how hard it is when you're juggling so many things. I'm right there with you, from all of the responsibilities of work, home, and family.

You CAN balance a healthy lifestyle even when you're super busy, and in this episode, I'll show you how.

Doing more doesn’t mean doing better. When you’re tired, unhealthy, and run down, your brain is sluggish and foggy, and it takes you much longer to do each task.

Implementing self-care (like healthy eating and exercise), making time for yourself, and giving yourself time to rest actually gives you more energy to be more productive.

Nourishing and recharging your body has a positive effect on every aspect of your life.

Episode Summary:

How many times a day do you find yourself talking shit to yourself about your body?

“I’m too fat.”

“This looks horrible on me.”

“I hate having my picture taken.”

That inner voice that constantly berates us about our weight or not being a certain size is relentless and our body hears everything we say to it.

Every thought creates an emotion, and every emotion creates a physical response. When you tell yourself how much you suck for not looking a certain way or being a certain size, it zaps your energy, brings you down, and demolishes your confidence.

Instead of trashing our body, we should be THANKING it for all it does for us. For carrying us through the day, every day, no matter how we use and abuse it. It keeps putting one foot in front of the other and GETTING SHIT DONE……like a BOSS!

In this episode, I’ll teach you how to start changing those negative thought patterns that are keeping you stuck, and share a short meditation you can use to help you start appreciating your body for how strong and resilient it is.

Episode Summary:

If you know all too well what it’s like to be busy, stressed, and overwhelmed, I’m right there with you. Stress not only causes weight gain (especially belly fat, ugh!!), it keeps you holding on to extra body fat, along with a whole host of other health issues.

Did you know that when you are sitting at your desk stressed about work, it sends the same signal to your body as if a tiger was chasing you? Stress and being overwhelmed can take a significant toll on your life, but this episode is all about how you DESERVE to rest, de-stress, and the little things you can implement to make that happen.

I’ll show you how to slay the stress tiger and feel confident and in control of your everyday life.

Host Bio:

My health journey began when my six-year-old son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Let me tell you, I was SCARED. So, I threw myself into studying and learning all about nutrition, and I made some big changes for the sake of my kids, my family, and myself. Then, in 2019 I was diagnosed with stage II breast cancer. To say that that was a HUGE wake-up call is an understatement. I realized my life was centered on caring for everyone else (my kids, family, clients, etc.) except myself. Stress, lack of self-care, and not listening to my body’s messages was literally making me sick and could have killed me.

I realized that if I didn’t take care of myself, how could I care for anyone else? You can’t pour from an empty cup. I am thrilled to say that today I am completely cancer-free, and my life is so much richer than I could ever have imagined. Not only do I have my health and energy back, but I also have more strength, joy, and confidence!

I’m a certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and Personal Trainer, and it’s my passion to share what I have learned with you so that you can create the badass, Boss Body and life you deserve.

Not only do I have my health and energy back, but I also have more strength, joy, and confidence! Because of the changes I made, radical things began to happen. I went back to school to become an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, received my training at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, and became a certified personal trainer through the Aerobics & Fitness Association of America. It’s my passion to share what I have learned with you so that you can do the same.
