514: It’s Not A Destination, It’s A Decision

514: It’s Not A Destination, It’s A Decision

If you need some motivation and encouragement, you’ll want to listen to today’s episode! I was recently talking to an OBGYN client who wanted to know my thoughts and ideas on how she could motivate her patients to take action on the nutrition information she gives them.

You might be suprised to hear that I told her that she can’t.

Yup, I told her that she can’t motivate them with information.

See, information isn’t transformation. Instead, I shared with her how I try to motivate and inspire my clients (without using information to do it).

512: When You Can’t Seem To Make The Struggle Stop

512: When You Can’t Seem To Make The Struggle Stop

I have a client who is struggling. She really wants to create change, she wants to end the struggle, but she’s not consistently doing the work. In today’s episode, I want to get really practical and talk about my coaching philosophy for these kinds of situations. How do you break out of a pattern? How can you end the struggle?

There IS a way out and we’re talking about those strategies today. I’ll share how I coach my client as well as how I continue to overcome my own struggles.

One of the strategies I talk about in my episode is keeping my home a place that sets me up for success. I don’t keep treats and snacks in my house, but here are some of the things I do keep. If you’re new to Thrive Market, make sure to register through the link thrivemarket.com/primalpotential so you can save an extra 25% on your first order and get a free 30-day trial membership.

Hemp hearts – these are a new staple for me and I explain what makes them so special in episode 506

Coconut aminos – I use this as a salad dressing base, marinade and I add it to cauliflower rice stirfry

Primal Kitchen Salad dressings – I like the Balsamic the best – I’m not a huge fan of the Greek. These also make great marinades for meat or veggies prior to grilling!

511: 4 Common Sense Questions To Ask Of Every Diet

We are stepping up to clear the confusion today. Too many people are losts in the weeds trying to determine which way of eating is best: paleo, primal, keto, intermittent fasting, low fat, high fat, carb cycle…the list is endless.

510: How I Ditched The Drama

510: How I Ditched The Drama

The other day I posted on Instagram about how I moved away from hating my body when I was at my heaviest. I shared that I didn’t start declaring that I loved my body, I simply reminded myself that I was capable of changing it. There are two big mistakes I see people making that keep them from creating change in their lives: they are too dramatic and/or they are lying to themselves about how they feel or what they want.

In today’s episode we’re going to look at cutting out the drama and shifting from self-loathing to more effective ways of thinking. If you need help in the mindset department or you’re struggling to create change, you won’t want to miss this episode!

508: Never Too Good To Be Better

508: Never Too Good To Be Better

In today’s episode I want to explore this idea that most of us really don’t know how amazing we can feel. Even if you feel you do know, are you consistently creating that reality? Perhaps more importantly – in thinking that you do know, are you limiting further improvements?

So many questions and comments stemmed from an email I sent out the other day and I want to dive into the perspective of self-improvement today. Does it mean we don’t appreciate how far we’ve come? Does it mean we have to be perfectionists or purists? Does it mean there isn’t room for indulgence? Does it mean we aren’t giving ourselves the benefit of the doubt?

You won’t want to miss this motivational episode!
