This brings our first season of this podcast to a close. Listen this week to hear what's next for The Shred Life and where we go from here. Thank you all for a fantastic and successful 2018. See you in 2019!
The dreaded New Year’s Resolution time is coming and we all know how that goes… We “resolve” to change something or improve something and then fail miserably within 30-60 days into the New Year. This week we talk the exact opposite of New Year’s Resolutions and share the secret to how you can make 2019 your best year yet. All it takes is some upfront work over the next 60 days.
We all make “decisions” about our life and how we are going to change or improve it, but it seems we don’t often succeed in that goal or decision. This week we talk about the reasons why that happens and how to truly understand what a decision is, the power it holds, and the one small change in the process that will let you succeed in every decision you make from now on.
Last week we introduced “Stressful Thoughts” and this week we dive right in to show you exactly where these stressful thoughts live, what they cause, and how we can break the cycle to move past them. Things like “why do I always…” or “ I knew I should have…”, and “I can’t find my…”. Listen this week as we remove the stress, repurpose the thought, and create freedom in our minds to go after the things we really want.
We all have a temperature we set in the car, in our house, and that we like in the office and it drives us nuts when people change that temperature. Did you know we also have an internal temperature we set for our lives, for our weight, for our career, relationships, finances, basically everything? What if you learned how to not only know that temperature but control it and turn it up and down when needed? What if you had total control on the thermostat of your life? Listen this week as we discuss how to turn up the heat, get comfortable there, and then do it again.
This week we talk about the formula for happiness and how our expectations are stealing all of our opportunity for joy, happiness, and love in our lives. Listen as we share a real-life coaching experience with Sharlene on how her physical pain is causing so much fear, anxiety, and stress in her life and stealing all of her opportunity for joy and happiness every day and the quick shift that can be made to give her her happiness back.

Have you ever struggled with starting something? Maybe you’ve been wanting to lose weight, and have thought about what you would do but just haven’t actually done it.

Listen this week as we talk about what it takes to make ONE DAY become DAY ONE.
Do you ever wonder if you are hungry enough to eat or if you have eaten enough? We’ve all experienced waiting so long that we've felt “starving”, or eaten so much we felt like we were going to burst! In episode 31 we teach a very useful tool in weight loss called the Hunger Scale. Find out how you can bring this tool into your life and discover so much about your body and brain. If you're looking to take the drama out of how much you need to eat and what feelings you need to feel, your world is about to change!

Weight loss is a 66 billion dollar industry in the United States. It's made up of thousands of programs, fads, and methods to lose weight and they all have one thing in common…they work! But why haven’t they worked for you? What's the reason you can’t find success with any of them?
Listen this week as we discuss success and failure in weight loss, and the one key you missed while trying to achieve your goal.
What do we seek more than anything else in the world? Comfort! What do we avoid more than anything in the world? Discomfort.

This week we bring you a special episode- our first ever Q&A! We've taken the top questions we've received over the past 25 episodes and get to the bottom of them.
We have learned from a young age that trust matters. Trust your parents, trust your teachers, and don't trust strangers.

In life, we all want that magic formula for success. We spend so much time looking for easy and quick fixes to all of our problems, but it's wasted time.

This week may be about the boring little details, but trust us, this is important stuff! This is what matters. It's not the sexy, glamorous part and it won't sell a million books, but we promise you this is the piece our client's who crush their goals do, and the one thing that our clients who are stuck don't do.
It may be about little things, but they are what deliver the big thing- success!

Join us this week as we share the reality of "Making Time" and also some tips that take NO TIME at all to help you achieve your weight loss goals.
Vacations can be beautiful, but they can also lead to extra pounds. When we are lucky enough to go on vacation we take an all-or-nothing approach to relaxation.

Math and Drama run our lives. The problem is we love to stay in the drama. But what if you realized that every problem is just a math problem. Every situation is just a simple equation and drama doesn't need to exist.

Listen as we talk how baking a cake is the exact same as trying to lose weight.
