Podcast by Lauren Mayer & Jenna Lockhart Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lauren-mayer6/support
I, Lauren, am 33 years old with 2 boys (almost 6 and almost 2), I’m a wife, daughter, friend, and entrepreneur. and I am battling cancer. This episode walks you through the beginning stages of my journey - finding out my diagnosis, my treatment plan, and what’s been coming up for me throughout this process. I talk about how I’m becoming the true observer of myself and falling deeply in love with who I am.
Being diagnosed with cancer with 2 toddlers at home has been the biggest challenge I have ever had to face. When I found out the news I was crushed beyond words and so afraid of how my illness would affect all the people around me. I honestly wasn’t even thinking about the cancer in my body.
I was terrified I would traumatize my kids because now they have a mom who has cancer. My husband would have to basically turn into a single dad and handle so much of the responsibilities. Thankfully we have the most amazing grandparents in the world and my sister who is helping so much!
The thoughts in my head when I was first told I had an 8x13x11 mass in my chest were scary as hell…
What if I don't wake up tomorrow?
What if this cancer is not treatable?
What if I never see my kids and family again?
Am I going to lose my hair?
Am I going to feel super sick? And for how long?
Will I ever feel normal again?
My thoughts were dark and on repeat.
Once I received my diagnosis, a treatment plan, and all the support in the world I started experiencing more peace, even though most days are a challenge in one way or another. Even with that, I feel this overflow of love and abundance I can’t even put into words.
I am so freaking grateful I have done so much inner healing work up until this point because now I have all the tools I need to beat the shit out of this cancer and I feel this power deep in my veins.
If sharing my story can help one other person not feel alone, then I did my job. Cancer is very scary but it doesn’t have to be battled alone.
If you’re listening to this and struggling right now please know you have the inner strength to feel love, peace, joy, and abundance, and you can do this! I share my story with you in hopes to show you that all the answers you seek are within. If you’re ready to take the leap into healing this is your sign. We are here for you!

We’re BACK, and we feel like completely different people. This episode is a life update - we talk about all the healing work we’ve done over the past year to really help us expand into the people we are today. So much has changed since we last recorded, and we’re so happy to be back on the mic! This episode is a preview of what’s to come now that we’re back recording weekly episodes. Some may think it’s crazy to bring the podcast back right as Lauren is facing a diagnosis of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, but we honestly felt called to openly share what we’re moving through, and this timing felt completely aligned.

I (Jenna) am officially a certified level 1 Human Design reader, and what better way to share this with you than to use Lauren as the guinea pig!? HA! Tune in as we discuss the different aspects of Lauren's HD - what makes her unique, how she should be using her energy, and where conditioning has led to her burying her true gifts under layers of guilt and shame because she's "different" from the rest of the world.
What I love most about Human Design is that it's proof that truth is subjective. We are so conditioned to believe that we have to do everything the way the world says we should do them, right? Everything! We have to live a certain way. We have to work a certain way, raise our kids a certain way, eat a certain way, exercise and prioritize our health a certain way… There are these bullshit made up rules for everything!! Understanding your personal human design gives you permission to say "fuck off" to all of those rules and really start living, showing up, and exchanging energy with the world in the way that you were designed to.

Your body is always trying to communicate with you, and if you would take a second to tune in, you would discover that you hold all the answers to your unanswered questions. When you disconnect from your body; aka subscribe to “hustle culture” your body sends you a pretty harsh message…unexplainable annoying pain.
In this episode, Lauren shares how her unexplainable back pain “magically” heals after releasing some much needed emotional pain. Damn our bodies are smart!

In this episode, we're interviewing Jenna Brown, one of the experts that we're partnering with for our 12-week Intuitive Healing program, In Sync. We've personally worked with Jenna throughout our own healing journeys, and when we made the choice to step into her energy and we surrendered to this deeper work, we experienced monumental shifts - quicker than we ever thought possible. Jenna specializes in helping you reconnect with your intuition, deconstruct old paradigms that are no longer serving you, re-engage with your inner child, and embark into shadow work through many different methods, including hypnotherapy, NLP timeline therapy, and subconscious reprogramming. Her own personal shifts came after she had a near-death experience while pregnant with her third baby. She shares those personal details with you here, and will give you a new perspective when it comes to breaking free from "Hustle Culture".

The scary part of Diet Culture is that it can show up EVERYWHERE...places where you honestly least expect it! In this episode, we’re sharing our experiences with “cycle syncing” - the process of syncing your life, workouts, etc. to the phases of your menstrual cycle - and how we immediately felt triggered to go back down the rabbit hole of restriction when we kept consuming “research” about cycle syncing. Thankfully our gut instincts and intuition kicked in and we realized that some parts of cycle syncing just aren’t aligned with our beliefs… but, how do you sift through all of that?

Do you feel guilty for eating the “real thing” when it comes to desserts, fried foods, or foods that are higher in fat? Have you ever tried to swap out certain foods in the name of health? For example, maybe you’ve tried to cut sugar or save calories? In this episode, we’re talking about what it looks like when you take these swaps to the extreme and what it can do to your mental health.
NOTE: We’re not talking about swapping foods because of allergies, food intolerances, the choice to become vegan/vegetarian, or specific health issues...we’re talking about healthy swaps that are used for the sole purpose of weight loss and cutting calories.

Diet culture is a sneaky son of a BETCH, and today we are talking about another “health craze” that has taken over our social media feeds. In this episode, we share our two cents about the “mental toughness” challenge: 75 Hard.
Just because this is labeled a “mental toughness” challenge does not mean it doesn’t come with any negative consequences. We understand wanting to challenge yourself and we are all for setting goals and achieving them...but when does it become dangerous and unhealthy?

We were terrified that by starting Intuitive Eating, we'd be signing up to gain a ton of weight. Like, A TON of weight! Because we'd spent most of our lives dieting, this was a deeply rooted fear that honestly kind of surprised us! In this episode we share our personal experiences with you, because fearing weight gain can convince you to stay trapped in the never-ending dieting loop - and we don't want that for you!
Our mission is to help you get to the point where food isn't controlling you and keeping you stuck. This fear simply has to go if you want to heal your relationship with food.
While we can't tell you how long it will take for you to truly work through this fear personally, knowing the facts about how dieting actually CAUSES weight gain and learning the benefits of eating more food will help you take the first step toward processing your fear of gaining weight.

Body acceptance and body positivity is definitely trending, and it might sound like a great thing, but how do you embrace "body positivity" when you literally cannot stand to look at yourself in the mirror? We've been talking so much about ditching diets and learning to heal your relationship with food and your body, but if it feels unattainable to ever love your current body - without trying to shrink it - then this episode is for you.
We're not going to sugarcoat it for you. When you start doing the work, you'll experience more of a gradual change than just going from HATE to LOVE overnight. In this episode, we dive into how to go from hating your body -> respecting your body -> accepting your body -> trusting your body -> liking your body -> loving your body.

If you’ve ever had a hard time controlling yourself around desserts, sweets, soda, candy - basically anything containing real sugar - you’ve probably wondered, “Am I addicted to sugar?”
If you would have asked the two of us if sugar addiction is real two years ago, our answer would have been, “YES! OF COURSE,” and we probably would have sent you the cliffnotes version of articles supporting the fact that “sugar lights up the same brain centers as cocaine.” We would have also told you to avoid sugary foods that you tend to binge eat/overeat!
We would have done that because those were the answers we were exposed to on a regular basis through “nutrition” courses, the media, social media, etc. Now that we’ve embraced Intuitive Eating and we’ve literally challenged ALL of our old belief systems in terms of nutrition and exercise, we began to question whether or not sugar is ACTUALLY addicting...because our experiences weren’t supporting that claim.
In this episode, we share the research we’ve found that proves sugar addiction is not real, and we bring awareness to the flaws in the studies that have “proven” sugar addiction is real.

“But, I’ve never done an actual DIET...is going through the process of Intuitive Eating going to even change anything for me?”
In this episode, we talk about the hidden signs of dieting. For example, have you ever had these thoughts when it comes to eating food?
- I can have the sandwich, but only half
- I’m hungry, but it’s too soon to eat
- I overate yesterday, so I should eat less today
- I want ice cream, but it’s too high in sugar
If so, then this episode is for you! We also talk about the “What the Hell” effect when it comes to eating, and we discuss how exercise can actually be a hidden form of dieting.

There’s Diet Culture’s definition of “normal” eating...and then there’s NORMAL eating. In simple terms, “normal eating” is when you’re not obsessing, forcing, or overthinking food.
Eating isn’t black and white like Diet Culture wants us to believe. There’s not a set amount of calories, macros, servings, portion sizes, etc. that you “SHOULD” be eating each day. “Normal” eaters don’t even have the word “should” in their vocabulary when it comes to food.
NORMAL is defined differently for every single one of us - it depends what our bodies want and need in the moment! The key is to tune in and really listen to what your body is asking for without trying to make it fit into diet culture’s definition of “normalcy”. In this episode, we address eating behaviors and thoughts that are important for you to pay attention to in terms of your eating habits.

“Where’s the research to prove that diets don’t work?”
HERE YOU GO! ;)
There’s a growing body of research to support the claim that diets cause more harm than good...including, but not limited to: weight gain and metabolic issues, food obsession, negative body image, depression and anxiety, and mood fluctuations and irritability.
In this episode, we’re sharing about ONE of these studies: The Minnesota Starvation Experiment. This dates back to the 1940’s...back before diet culture was on the cover of every magazine, at our fingertips with technology, and on every other TV channel and radio station.
If you’ve ever blamed yourself for having lack of discipline, willpower, and consistency when it comes to dieting, this episode is for you.

Intuitive Eating is a non-dieting approach to eating that heals your relationship with food and your body...but how do you know if this is the right path for you? We've been getting so many questions behind the scenes:
- "But, I need to lose weight! How can I embrace Intuitive Eating?"
- "How do I even know if I need to heal my relationship with food?"
- "If I make peace with food, I'll just eat Oreos and chips for every meal! Intuitive Eating scares me!"
- "I just eat clean...I don't diet. Doesn't that mean I'm already eating intuitively?"
In this episode, we answer all of these questions, and more!

When it comes to Intuitive Eating, can weight loss be your goal?
In this episode, we explore the reasons why the desire to lose weight has to be given up in order to truly become an Intuitive Eater. We know it can feel scary to truly accept this reality - especially when you've been dieting for YEARS - but it is possible, and it's the most freeing feeling when you're able to let go of the desire to lose weight. To help you decide if you're in a place to take that step, we walk you through a dieting symptoms checklist so you'll be able to identify how deeply diet culture has affected you socially, psychologically, behaviorally, and physically.

As we’ve been digging deeper into the Intuitive Eating process and we’ve been working on trusting our bodies to tell us what and when to eat, we’ve had some interesting thoughts and feelings come up. We want to share our experiences with you in full transparency, because it’s HARD to let go of the food rules that have been programmed into us about how much to eat, when to eat, what to eat, and what our bodies “should” look like.
In this episode, we share about the “hyperawareness” stage of the Intuitive Eating process, and how it’s been eye-opening to see how deeply diet culture has affected us. If you’ve ever done any type of meal plan or “lifestyle change” with the hope of shrinking your body or losing weight, you’re going to relate to this message.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the different “types” of eaters. We’d be willing to bet that you can relate hard to at least one of these eater types, if not more than one.
This is where things tend to get a little tricky though, because you either:
A - Know that diet culture has a strong grip on you and you’re desperate and ready for change but don’t know where to begin...
OR
B - Think you’re in the clear and completely healed from all the diets and BS you’ve done over the years to make your body smaller…
Either way, it’s HARD to pinpoint the sneaky ways that food rules and emotions show up when it comes to the ways we eat.
In this episode, we bring all of that to your attention and really aim to get you thinking about how diet culture still has a hold on your internal narrative when it comes to eating.

Think back to the first time you heard the term "BASIC NEEDS." Personally, we remember this from elementary school science class...the "basic needs" for any living being are: food, water, shelter, and air...right? While that may be true, we're defining your basic needs differently in this episode. We're digging into your happiness and your productivity and tying in some pretty cool psychology lessons along the way.
If you've been making excuses for your life or you're feeling like you really don't have a gift or a purpose to share with others, you need to listen. We're really aiming to give you a change in perspective with this one!

Comparison can be a real b*tch. One minute, you can feel totally on the right track! You can be feeling extremely proud of the accomplishments you've made, and you can be in an incredible mood! But then - WHOOSH - just like that, those feelings are gone, replaced by feelings of inadequacy, self-judgement, and even jealousy disguised as admiration.
It's actually pretty unreal just how quickly that shift can happen, and we're here to give you our best tips to avoid that mental trap. In this episode, we give you several things to STOP doing on the regular, and several things to START doing! You're going to leave this episode with a whole new perspective.

It's time to re-release another one of our most popular episodes! We're talking BOUNDARIES, and why it's absolutely necessary for you to set them! It may feel uncomfortable at first, especially if you're typically someone who spoon-feeds those around you and you normally drop everything you're doing to help someone else. BUT - you need to get real about this...for your own sanity. Get ready to feel confident saying "NO" to the things that don't serve you, and "YES" to the things that bring you life!

In this episode, we're talking business! Hopefully you're familiar with the dog in the movie Up when he gets frequently distracted by the squirrels...well, unfortunately, that "squirrel syndrome" can also apply to your business!
This episode is for all of our entrepreneurs: Specifically, this goes out to those of you who have so many ideas floating around in your head but you just can’t seem to nail anything down.
We talk about the difference between "pivoting" and "shifting" when it comes to big ideas, and how and when change can break trust with your audience. Our hope with this episode is that we can guide you to narrow down your focus and truly work with the clients you're excited to work with instead of chasing the next shiny (or furrry!) thing.
If you take one big idea away from this episode, let it be this: A Confused Audience Never Buys!

We're not saying it's going to be easy, but we do give you some tips and takeaways to reframe your thinking. We also explore some pretty interesting data regarding kids' brain development from ages 0-7 that we think will really help you see the big picture and start to make those small daily shifts.

In this episode, we're talking straight to our control freaks! And, we can do this, because we've been there too! Releasing the need to control situations can be extremely challenging, but when you're able to truly trust in the universe and follow your intuition and your gut reactions without overthinking and overanalyzing, it will really help you feel less anxious and more aligned with your true path in life.
We're guiding you through this process in this episode: How to truly listen to your body and lean into what you need in the moment, and how to accept that you can't control everything. True freedom comes when you're able to ask for help and communicate openly and honestly with those closest to you!

During last week’s episode, we talked about the importance of embracing the “non-striving” mentality. If you haven’t listened to that episode yet, head over to episode 093 and press play! That will set you up to dig even deeper with us during this episode.
Today, we’ve got a special guest here to talk about the non-striving mentality through Tarot Card reading. Her bio says it all, and she’s here to share her best tips and takeaways with you today!
Meet Joie Cobian:
“I’ve spent my entire life trying to control the uncontrollable. Whether it was my weight, my grades when I was in school, or just the things that happened to me in general- I wanted to have complete control over it all. I think I would have tried to change the weather if I thought I could have made that possible! This worked out here and there for short periods of time; only, then life would happen and I would be thrown completely off my game. I would feel like everything was crashing down around me. I would gain all the weight back. I would stress out over anything negative. I would cry all the time and get nothing done. It would take me weeks or even months to regain my footing only to repeat the cycle not long after.
Cut to my adult life when I became a wife and mom. Things were going swimmingly, or so I thought, until my second son came into the world with a rare genetic disorder that I definitely had no control over. Life as I knew it was a complete mess and I didn’t know how to bounce back. Between dozens of monthly appointments and too many what-ifs, I was at a loss and completely terrified. I wasn’t sure what to do next or where to go from there. I desperately wanted my life back and I didn’t have a clue about how to do that.
I tried everything in the book to bring “myself” back. From self-help books to mom groups, wine to home projects and tons in between- none of it worked- at least not completely. I truly felt alone and misunderstood by those around me. Slowly, and after years of searching, I found that through the spiritual practice of using tarot and oracle card reading, I was able to reconnect with myself on a deeper level. My internal pain points and struggles were brought to the surface so quickly and apparently in my readings that I had no choice but to take action or continue to wallow.
By addressing all of the tough stuff that I was confronted with, I found my way back to feeling like myself. I was able to work on and heal the darker parts of my pain and grow from them. This led me to sharing this gift with other women who have felt the same in their lives. I blend the spiritual “woo woo” of card reading with relatable, practical guidance to help women feel like they’re in control of their life with the tools and strategies I’ve been using for years.”

Have you ever set a goal for yourself and felt an immense amount of pressure to attain it? Or, maybe you've been completely overwhelmed by completing a work project within a certain timeline? OR, maybe you find yourself mindlessly scrolling social media only to realize you're trapped in the "comparison" mentality that it can unfortunately breed.
If so, this episode is for you. We talk about what it means to be "non-striving" and we help you realize that it's okay to make changes in your life in your OWN WAY and on your OWN TIME. We're encouraging you to take time for you - figure out what speaks to you and fills you up, then bless and release the things in your life that aren't serving you in a positive way.

Maureen is a culinary and wellness expert. As a food lover, she’s explored and experienced the healing strength of freshly prepared foods that are sourced expertly and combined properly. She has specialized in working with food allergies and other ailments while informed by the Five Elements scholasticism of Chinese food-based medicine. The role that food plays on our self and planetary healing is a focus in her life both personally and professionally. She passionately shares the knowledge that you can change your health and your life by making just a few changes to your diet."Let food be thy medicine"- Hippocrates
Her thirst for knowledge and excitement after having attended the world renown Kushi Institute for Macrobiotics led her to the world’s most acclaimed whole foods culinary school: the Natural Gourmet Institute for Health and Culinary Arts in New York City.
Her diverse background has led her to work as a chef for the Sha Wellness Clinic in Spain, yoga retreats in Greece, high profile celebrity clients, an internship with celebrity vegetarian chef Simone Salvini in Rome, and most recently the opportunity to co-create a vegetarian restaurant in Sardinia. I want to share this vital knowledge: a local, sustainable, whole food (mostly) plant based diet is the key to being successful in the health of the mind, body and spirit.

In this episode, we're sharing what we're doing to release our own judgements: judgements of others AND of ourselves. We felt that with everything going on in our world right now, it was important to share our resources and practices with you.
We'll be referencing the book, "The Universe has your Back" by Gabrielle Bernstein throughout this episode, and we highly recommend you read this and apply these concepts on your own. In the book, Gabrielle says, "Without judgement, we would see one another as equal. We'd have no feelings of better than or less than. We'd be one. Oneness is our true nature. When we're in tune with the feeling of oneness, then judgement and separation dissolve and our connection to the love of the universe is restored."
We are firm believers that the actions, words, thoughts, and beliefs we have come from either love or fear. We feel it's important that we all learn to recognize when we're acting out of fear and judgement, and we learn to shift our thoughts and actions to come from a place of love. This isn't easy, but when we make a conscious effort to do this, this is when we'll be in alignment with our truest and highest self.

We’ve all been through pain in our lives. That’s a given. You can either take that pain and use it to change your life and others’ lives by turning your pain to power, or you can live a life of resentment towards that pain. In this episode, we share our stories with the hope to inspire you to use your past painful experiences for some good in your life.
Our pain we experienced through our own health and fitness journeys inspired us to help others. We had a burning passion to show people that finding that balance in your life doesn’t HAVE to take 18 years...it can be done much more efficiently when you have the right tools in place.
HOWEVER, we experienced a different type of pain a couple years into our business. In this episode, we dig deep into the story of why we decided to pivot in terms of our professional lives...we realized some aspects of the business we were creating was causing us more stress than it was freedom, and that was never part of our vision. Being a true entrepreneur means you have to be able to pivot and shift when necessary, and we definitely figured this out the long way too. Listen to this episode to hear our stories and to be inspired to turn your own pain into your power.

In this episode, we share a story to hopefully really get you thinking about your life and the way you react to challenges and uncertainty.
The main takeaway: You are in control of your perception, and you are NEVER stuck in the “potato, egg, coffee bean” stage. You can always change your thoughts and actions to work toward a place of happiness and fulfillment in your life, but YOU have to decide that you want to change your way of thinking.
Let this episode bring awareness to your thought patterns. We’re encouraging you to have an optimistic outlook when it comes to adjusting to different situations in your life. You are in control of your choices, and we hope we can inspire you to make them out of love instead of fear.
As you were listening, we mentioned our online course, The Basic Needs Bootcamp, which is basically a Boot Camp for your ROUTINE! If you’re self-aware and ready to take action in your life and really develop positive habits, you can learn more about this self-paced course HERE.

This episode was inspired by one of our loyal instagram followers. She reached out asking for advice on how to love herself again, and we felt pulled to record an entire episode on this topic. Self-love is one of those terms that’s loosely thrown around, yet it takes a LOT of self-awareness and understanding to truly reflect on your own self-love meter. When was the last time you thought about how much you truly do love and value yourself? If you’re not sure, then this is your sign that it’s time to check in. We give you some tangible tips in this episode to start incorporating into your life, but they’re also mixed in with some personal stories and a whole lotta tough love! We’re getting real with you, because we want to stress the importance of becoming self-aware when it comes to your happiness.
If this topic really resonated with you and you’re open to diving deeper, we’d love to invite you to join us on our live webinar next Friday, May 1st at 1:00pm EST.
Here's what we'll be covering in the webinar:
- A deep dive into the PERMA Theory of Happiness + how to apply it to your life
- Rewiring your trigger-response-reward systems (AKA: Revamping Your Habits)
- Incorporating mindfulness strategies into your daily routine to increase true self-love + happiness

Welcome to our very first podcast episode recorded entirely through Zoom! Ha! Talk about knowing when to pivot...it was important to us that we still showed up for all of you even though we can't be physically together during this time. We're taking social distancing seriously, and we're doing our part to flatten the curve. HOWEVER...that does NOT mean that we are living in a state of constant fear. In this episode, we're sharing the audio from a live webinar we hosted this week. It's all about how to process changes and create healthy habits even when life is messy and throws some curveballs your way. We truly hope you listen to this episode and then take immediate action. That is truly what will help you grow!
After the webinar, we talk about our brand new "Basic Needs Bootcamp" online course. If you'd like to learn more about it or jump in and start it with us, you can click HERE!

Okay y'all, let's get real here for a second. We're talking BOUNDARIES today, and why it's absolutely necessary for you to set them! It may feel uncomfortable at first, especially if you're typically someone who spoon-feeds those around you and you normally drop everything you're doing to help someone else. BUT - you need to get real about this...for your own sanity. Get ready to feel confident saying "NO" to the things that don't serve you, and "YES" to the things that bring you life!

We wanted to record an episode during this Coronavirus pandemic to bring a sense of peace and calming into your life.

These are tips you can use throughout your day...start your morning peacefully, stop that mid-day panic attack, and finally get that restful night of sleep you've been craving.

Y'all, this has been a crazy week...Mercury was in retrograde, we had a full moon, the time change threw most of us for a loop, AND it's Friday the 13th. YIKES. Whether or not you believe all of that can affect your energy - and WE believe it totally can - you're going to have times in your life when things just don't go as planned. When you're feeling totally drained, the last thing you need is to be hard on yourself. This episode we're talking about how to readjust and let go when needed, and how to really get back on track when you're ready.

The amount of growth you can make in just ONE YEAR is absolutely astonishing...BUT, it can only happen if you take your blinders off and stay open to new opportunities.
When we think back to when we first started coaching, it makes us cringe a little to think about how closed-minded we were for so long. Now that we've opened our hearts and our minds to other ways of thinking, we wanted to record an episode to share this part of our journey with you. Truly, it doesn't matter if you're not part of an MLM (Multi-Level Marketing company) ...This will still relate to you! We're just really encouraging you to allow yourself to think outside the box and to be open to new ideas and new ways of thinking. You never know what's possible!

Have you ever set a goal for yourself and felt an immense amount of pressure to attain it? Or, maybe you've been completely overwhelmed by completing a work project within a certain timeline? OR, maybe you find yourself mindlessly scrolling social media only to realize you're trapped in the "comparison" mentality that it can unfortunately breed.
If so, this episode is for you. We talk about what it means to be "non-striving" and we help you realize that it's okay to make changes in your life in your OWN WAY and on your OWN TIME. We're encouraging you to take time for you - figure out what speaks to you and fills you up, then bless and release the things in your life that aren't serving you in a positive way.

We wanted to record an episode on this topic because we truly believe the "expectation hangover" is a real thing...when you expect things to be perfect and they're NOT, how do you move forward? How do you deal with the guilt that creeps in?

This week we're rereleasing one of our top episodes! We're talking all about nutrition in terms of the 80/20 rule, the 85/15 rule, the 90/10 rule, etc. Throughout our coaching careers, we've heard time and time again that this topic is extremely helpful for our clients, and since we have so many new listeners, we figured it was a great time to throw this one back out there. AND - If you've already heard it, it's probably time for a refresher anyway! Think about your life while you're listening to this episode, then send us a message and tell us which rule you're going to implement into your life. When you practice this consistently, it will completely change the way you think about your nutrition and your occasional treats.

Think back to the first time you heard the term "BASIC NEEDS." Personally, we remember this from elementary school science class...the "basic needs" for any living being are: food, water, shelter, and air...right? While that may be true, we're defining your basic needs differently in this episode. We're digging into your happiness and your productivity and tying in some pretty cool psychology lessons along the way. If you've been making excuses for your life or you're feeling like you really don't have a gift or a purpose to share with others, you need to listen. We're really aiming to give you a change in perspective with this one!

This is the first time we've been THIS open and honest about our business journeys, and we can't wait to share this story with you! It's crazy to think back to the days we were still full time teachers, struggling with anxiety, borderline depression, panic attacks, and unhappiness. Fortunately, those days feel so far behind us, but that's only because we took baby steps to work on ourselves during those times. Now, a few years later, we've successfully resigned from our teaching jobs, branched off from our Network Marketing business, and opened our own company: Fit + Social, LLC. This episode takes you through the ups. the downs, and the decisions we made to lead us to this point in our lives. We hope we can inspire you to change your situation if you're not currently living your dream life...it'll be hard, but it will be SO worth it!

We're getting pretty deep and personal in this episode. We share about the several different "breaking points" we've had in our lives and how we handled them...both positively and negatively.

Where are our BARRE fanatics and former dancers?! Where are our DGAFers who IMMEDIATELY turned your nose up when you read that first sentence?! Whichever category you fall into...we've got something for you in today's episode!
Part of our job as health and fitness coaches is to commit to the newest workout programs as they become available in our network. We're also fortunate enough to qualify for special coaching business trips throughout the year. Somehow fate intervened this past October during one of these trips and allowed us to cross paths with Elise Joan, the creator of Beachbody's newest workout program, Barre Blend, releasing this January.
It may or may not surprise you that Jenna was hanging out at the local BAR during this past business trip. She weaseled her way into Elise's conversation, and a beautiful friendship was formed! (I hope you can sense the sarcasm here, but in all honesty, this description is 100% accurate!)
Listen to this episode to hear the whole story of how these introductions went down and how this friendship carried over into real life...including this podcast episode!
We're chatting all things Barre Blend with Elise today, but we're REALLY digging deep into her story and her past. You'll hear about everything she's had to overcome in her life and how although it seems like she's an "overnight success" she's really worked her booty off (quite literally) to get to this point in her life.
We are so grateful to call her a friend, and we cannot wait for you to hear her story. We know you're going to fall in love with her as well, and we're hopeful that as you're deciding on your next fitness plan of action, this will stick in your mind!

When you're working toward a goal or you're feeling like you've got way too many things on your plate, it's easy to get overwhelmed to the point where you just want to quit. We call it "analysis paralysis" when you just take in more and more information and therefore take less and less action. We've all been there, and we want you to know it's completely normal to feel this way. That being said, you can't STAY in that place of overwhelm. In this episode, we talk you through our process to work through that paralysis and start taking action. Grab a pen and your notebook and get ready to feel completely in control of your situation - we've got your back!

Are you currently living your life as more of a leader or a follower? If you're a leader, what kind of leader do you want to be? If you're a follower, WHY? Is it because you're truly happy being a follower, or is fear holding you back from passionately stepping into a natural leadership role? If fear is getting in the way, we give you an awesome story about crab hunting that will put everything into perspective. (Trust us, there's a point!) You've gotta listen to find out what it is!

Maybe you've been trying to achieve a fitness goal or level up in your business for some time now and no matter what you try, you seem to fall short. You might be wondering if a coach is even worth investing in, and we're hoping to help answer those questions in this episode!

Let's take a second and think about your experiences with health and fitness...
Have you ever struggled with a "quick fix" or a "fad" diet? Have you spent hours "pinning" healthy recipes only to realize you were feeling ambitious but that lifestyle wasn't sustainable? Have you ever had great intentions when starting a new workout routine, but it's never worked for the long term? Have you ever made excuses or tried to justify why you "just can't seem" to get it together?
WE HEAR YOU, and we have a solution!
Our 12-Week program, The Fit + Social Mindset Academy, is officially LIVE! After years of working with clients who seemed to have all the tools but still really struggled to change their mindset, we realized that the most important piece of the "health and wellness" puzzle was missing. We built this program step by step to help you get your mindset to a place where you can finally find that balance between being FIT and being SOCIAL.

What is YOUR definition of Self Love? Social media has really brought this movement to light recently, and while it can be really positive and have great intention behind it, we've seen a "downside" to the #selflove trend as well. Listen to this episode to hear our definition of "Self Love" and to hear how we're applying it. We'd love to hear your thoughts on this too, and we even have a fun social media challenge for you at the end of this episode!

You've heard so much about what it takes to START working on a goal, and you've heard about what it feels like to achieve that goal...but WHY doesn't anyone talk about the MIDDLE?
You know that place...it's the part where you're exhausted. Where you're feeling defeated...where you're struggling to understand why you're not farther along...why you're working so hard but it's not paying off...
SPOILER ALERT: You should ALWAYS be in the middle of some kind of journey, because that means you're making growth!
In this episode, we give you a behind-the-scenes look into our current MIDDLE. The parts of our lives that aren't picturesque. We're open and honest about how we're feeling, why we're feeling this way, and how you can apply this to YOUR current challenges in life.

Let us ask you this...Do you find yourself working toward a goal and struggling to:
1 gain momentum and
2 keep it going?
If you answer yes, then you have to tune in this episode! We talk you through our methods of how we manage the FUNKS of life and how we stay on course with our goals.

Let's be real: We know you've seen hashtags or posts on your social media about living a #balanced life...and we think that's BS. In this episode, you're going to learn why we actually think it's healthier to be UNBALANCED during different times and seasons of your life. Instead of trying to keep everything even, you need to get real with yourself about what you want to really go for, then you need to prioritize and make it happen. We're giving you some action steps to do just that, and we can't wait to hear about how you're going ALL IN!

Do you have a hard time trying to "balance" your fitness and nutrition with your social life? That's a question we hear pretty often, so we figured since it's July 5th and you're most likely hungover and still dreaming of beer and fireworks, we'd talk about how we manage to stay fit WHILE being social. We used to beat ourselves up mentally when we'd let loose, because we didn't have a solid system in place to get back on track. We relied on ibuprofen and McDonalds, which really only made us feel worse. Now that we have it figured out, we decided it was time to share it with you!

We've had some serious mental struggles around vanity sizing lately...
Picture this: You're actually feeling confident in your own skin, so you decide to go shopping or order an outfit online. BUT when you try it on, your confidence disappears almost immediately because the size you THINK should fit you doesn't even come close. We're sure you know that feeling, because we're dealing with it all the time too.
We share our thoughts on that during this episode, then we go off on a pretty awesome tangent about being healthy in general vs. worrying about the size of your pants.

Being vulnerable can be a really tough thing to do, but sometimes can lead to the greatest personal growth. Putting your fears on the line and allowing yourself to be vulnerable can open up a whole different side of you that you didn't realize was there. Keeping a positive mindset about the areas of your life you'd like to focus on can lead to greatness. Stop letting the opinions of others control the success you have in life. Be vulnerable, put fear aside, and step into the real you.
We're so excited to share these thoughts and more with our special guest, Kiera Walls.

Have you ever quit in the middle of something? Talked yourself out of making changes because it "wasn't worth it" or it was "too hard" or "things really weren't all that bad before" ...sound familiar?

If you've been known to quit on yourself in the past, this might just be the episode you need to hear!

If you're not hitting your goals, if you're struggling to stay organized, or - if you don't HAVE any goals set right now - we're here with an answer to your problem! Ready? ...YOU NEED A PLAN!!!!
Yeah, we know, it's not rocket science. But, planning is also something we all typically avoid doing. We have a tendency to overthink and overcomplicate things, which leads to putting things off and never really going "all in" on anything. We hate to break it to you, but if you're good at multi-tasking, that really means you're just all over the place.
In this episode, we're giving you our best tips for getting - and STAYING - organized. We're crediting a lot of our success to the book The 12 Week Year. If you love what you hear in this episode, you can grab a copy of the book here!
We're also loving the app we're using to keep our teams organized. If you're leading a team at work, this might be exactly what you need too! Check out Vimify here, and feel free to message us on social media if you have any questions about how we're using it!

Vacations used to stress us out. We knew we'd be totally off of our routines, and we could bet money that we'd come home feeling like total crap. Vacations shouldn't stress you out, and sometimes taking a break from your routine can be totally detrimental in more ways than one.
Can you relate? If so, you need to listen to how we changed our ways!
In this episode, we talk about different types of "vacationers" and we share our tips and tricks for enjoying lots of alcoholic beverages and/or treats while still coming home feeling proud of yourself and relaxed.

You basically have two options: rely on your motivation and end up quitting on your goals, or dig deep and find a reason to keep going. We'll talk you through each scenario in this episode, and we'll get you thinking about what you really want.

Our hope is that once you understand the reasons behind this fear, you'll be able to push through it and go for what you really want in life!

In this episode, we're meeting with special guest Kelly Rainey. We originally connected with her through social media, and after meeting with her to talk business, we were blown away by her knowledge of how to create multiple streams of income from the comfort of your own home.
When her daughter was only two days old, Kelly decided she was going to do what she could to be able to stay home with her. Now, as a single mom, she is passionate and driven about her personal skin care line, and she is extremely successful when it comes to helping others grow their own social media driven businesses - all while putting her daughter first.
Kelly will take you through her story, and she'll leave you with some tips on how to think more deeply about your own passions and how to monetize them.

In this episode, we take you through our own personal morning routines, and we share how (and why) we start every day the same way. Believe us when we say we haven't always been this way...it took a LOT of discipline to stay consistent, but the benefits far outweigh the struggle of getting up early.
As we take you through our mornings, we're going to challenge you to start thinking about developing your own routine.
For all of our perfectionists: START SMALL! Give yourself some grace. Your consistent routine will eventually stick after you make it a habit. If you can do something for 30 days, you can do it forever.
