Mastering what Matters: The Real Work Behind Coaching

As I have been navigating a fat loss phase this year (for the first time in years ) I have been wondering a lot about what the perfect body is? Growing up, I felt like the idea of the 'perfect body' was not my own. Like I adopted it from somewhere - magazines, tv, probably an episode of Friends or something - haha. And I think that we all got this idea that there was ONE perfect body type....

Have you ever been told that you shouldn’t drink your calories, and thought, “But I can’t live without my espresso martini!” Or maybe espresso martinis aren't your thing, but that delicious ice vanilla late is? Or maybe it's your wind down wine time in the evening? No matter what your preference is, we are NOT in the business of skipping the thing you love. We are here for enjoying life ev...

Have you ever felt like you aren't doing enough? A couple weeks ago I journaled about the things I was 'putting on the backburner' and it made me wonder, am I doing enough? One area that came up in my life that felt like it wasn't enough was my running. Did I want to take running more seriously? Did I like just fooling around and running when I wanted? Did I want to race again? Run...

Have you ever been caught between that 'I should get the food that is healthy for me' and 'but I want the french toast' type of conundrum?! Ya, I think we all have. Last week I coached one of my clients Katy on how she felt making decisions to fuel her body or tickle her tastebuds was hard. Especially when she was on vacation all week. I want you to hear exactly how I coached her o...

Its amazing all of the things we can do to our self to change/enhance/update our image isn't it? Botox, nails, tanning, hair, makeup, face creams - the list goes on and on. Last year I had a goal to feel 'put together' on the outside - to work on my self image so that it felt like my outside matched my organized personality. And so I experimented with it all. Some of the things I loved...

When you think about your favorite place to eat, does it make your heart leap with joy and your mouth water? Then is it followed by a drop in your stomach and dread because you just know it will ruin all your weight loss progress if you go? NOT TODAY. NOT ANYMORE. I am giving you the inside scoop on how to make decisions when you are going to your favorite place to eat that tickle your tastebuds a...

I don't know if there is a more consistent roadblock in our lives than 'that time of the month'. It makes us tired, it makes us cranky, and it makes us crave-y. And it just always seems to make us fall right off the wagon. Last week, as I went through my late luteal phase (the shittiest part of our cycle) I recorded this podcast episode for you of all the things that I do to combat the...

I used to spiral out of control when hard things happened in my life. I used grief as an excuse to go ham on a bowl of pasta and double up on my ice cream because it would make me feel better and I 'deserved' it for what I was going through. As I have been navigating grief this year, I have been able to look back and see how differently I am managing it than past Kayla, and I am so freakin...

I have SO been there. In college years I was the QUEEN of 'doing the things' but not getting results. It made me feel broken and frustrating and very givey - upy. Doing the nutrition audits has reminded me that this is a place where a lot of you find yourself in often too, so I wanted to talk about it. Because the last thing I want for you is to feel broken, frustrated and especially not g...

Have you ever wondered what people think about you? I was walking back from the gym a couple of weeks ago and I really got to thinking about it. Like, when we look around the world, what frames our mind? What makes us think that people are rich? What makes us think that people are successful? What makes us think that people are healthy? What makes us think that people are bums? What makes us think...

I said it. And I said it cause it is true. Past you, and your obsession with her, is stopping you from reaching your goals. This week on the podcast I am giving you lots of examples of who I USED to be, and how that has held me back (feel free to laugh and also I know you are going to be nodding your head and relating to this one!) and how I've changed my mindset to still be successful with my...

There are a lot of things that matter to our health that don't always feel like 'health things'. Things like our family dynamics, how we show up with our families, our social relationships, and our work relationships. As I was getting ready and doing my make up a couple of weeks ago, they started to flow through my brain. So I grabbed my podcast mic and started recording my thoughts ab...

I used to think things like: well she can eat anything she wants because she has a high metabolism well she can look like that no matter what because of her genetics or she doesn't even have to try and she stays in shape or I know she only go - in college girl at gym didn't even get red in the face at the gym she's done sports her whole life that is why she is so fit and capable Its no...
