552: Chasing Cupcakes

At long, long last, my first book – Chasing Cupcakes – is finally available! You can purchase it here!

It would have been easy to write a book about nutrition, hormones or fat loss, but that’s not the book I wanted to write. I wanted to write a book that hadn’t already been written. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of amazing books about nutrition, hormones and fat loss. Besides, that wasn’t the book I needed when I was deep in my own personal struggle with obesity, binge eating, excuses, exceptions, doubt, delay and debt.

In the thick of my decades-long struggle, I knew exactly what to do. I could have talked for hours, if not days, about all the changes I could make to lose weight, get healthy, pay off my debt and everything in between. I didn’t need more information.

For me, the problem was that I wasn’t doing all the things I knew to do. I knew how to lose weight, in theory, but what I didn’t know was how to get myself to do the work. I didn’t know how to end the excuses and exceptions. I knew how to get out of debt – I had thousands of strategies and action-plans. What I didn’t know was how to consistently get myself to do the work.

That’s the book I needed. So, that’s the book I wrote.

Today, I’m excited to share with you the story behind Chasing Cupcakes and to answer all your questions about the book and the writing process! I have been waiting for this moment for so long and I hope you love the book as much as I do!

551: My Food Philosophy

551: My Food Philosophy

What is my food philosophy? What is yours? Do you have one? Are you living like it?

I talk a lot about food and share a lot of the way I eat and the way I don’t eat, but today I want to share with you exactly what my food philosophy is.

It’s not about macros. It’s not about calories. It’s not even about fat loss. You might be surprised by a few things and I’m so excited to share it with you!

Before we dive into the episode: today I shared an opportunity for you to take a sneak peak inside the winter 12 Weeks to Transformation! While the podcast is mostly about information and strategy, the 12 WT is all about action. It’s about getting off the sidelines, into the game, and returning to action every day. In addition to weekly challenges, a guided daily journal, a private Facebook group and weekly live Q&As, I also share short daily coaching audio messages to help you return to your intentions each day, no matter what’s going on in your life. Want to experience 5 days of those short coaching messages? Share your email address here and you’ll get coaching messages right to your inbox for the next 5 days!

My Food Philosophy Includes:

  • Food choices hinge on whether or not I’m hungry (whether or not my body needs fuel)
  • Food isn’t good or bad – take the emotion & drama out of it
  • Don’t major in the minors
  • Eat real food
  • How I feel is greater than how I look
  • Short term strategies deliver short term results – no interest in anything short term
  • Pay close attention to how my choices make me feel and how my body responds
  • I rely on my body for my answers more than anyone else’s opinion

550: My Coaching Method & Process

550: My Coaching Method & Process

Today I’m sharing my coaching method with you. This isn’t just how I work with clients, it’s how I coach myself. I’m not on a diet and I don’t “put” my clients on a diet.

I’m not into guilt, drama, negativity, sacrifice or an obsession with a “goal weight”.

Today I’ll share with you my thoughts on paying attention, aligning your thoughts with what you want, creating change via evolution, not revolution, improving your outlook and constantly adjusting.

If you are ready to do things differently and create permanent change (while enjoying the process), this is your episode.

Join me today to not only hear the structure I follow in these reviews, but also for my reflection on 2018 and my personal and professional plans for the new year!

You know what to do but you aren’t consistently doing it. You’re super clear on the problem, but you aren’t holding yourself accountable to taking action on creating the solution.
