Knowing how to set goals is an important skill. It forces you to contemplate what you truly want out of life — but achieving your goals? Well, that's a whole different ball game. In this podcast, I will walk you through the steps to help you create a SMARTER goal and offer you options to get the support you may need.

Be aware of how you use the word, " just"

I think a lot of us have this misconception that you’re going to hear something on a podcast or Instagram post one time - and it’s going to make sense - and bam -  It's solidified in your brain. BUT, it doesn't work that way.  Your brain still offers up the way the same negative thoughts it’s always thought. "this probably isn't good enough.... It’s never going to work.... you can't get...

Take a look at your current relationship with time. Do you show up late to appointments? Do you finish meetings on time? Do your friends expect you to be punctual? The way you treat your time and the time of those around you is important. When you honor your time, you create a sense of certainty and commitment. For those you spend your time with, this builds trust in the relationship. If you aren’...

If there’s a part of you who wants to lose weight in 2023, don’t make the mistake of just picking some plan. In order to get something different, you need to do something different. No more doing the same old diet techniques to lose weight wrapped up in a shiny new diet. Stop picking restrictive food plans if you dream of one day eating the foods you love effortlessly. Stop doubling down on the gy...

Today I am offering you a sneak peek into my membership program.  It's a lesson I taught earlier this month. Take a listen and see  the type of work we do inside CRAVE!  In this lesson, we talk about the feelings you have on the regular ( both positive and negative) and how they impact all the results in your life.

Whether we know it or not, most of us have manuals that we have “written” for other people in our lives on what they should do and how they should behave -  especially around the Holidays.  Most often these people are not even aware that these “rule books” exist, yet we expect them to follow the rules and get upset with them when they don’t. It is important to understand that even though...

When you try to lose weight, do you ever ask yourself… – Why can’t I get my shit together? – What’s wrong with me? – What if I never lose my weight? When you ask yourself negative questions, your brain will provide negative answers. You’ll never get an answer that feels amazing. You just get a mental beatdown. On this podcast, I’ll give you 7 questions you can start asking yourself to HELP you los...

Self-confidence as a feeling is powerful in driving us to accomplish our goals. It’s the fuel that gets us to the results we want. In this lesson, we talk about self-doubt, self-love, and self-confidence and how to love ourselves more fully as we live our lives to the fullest.

You are in for a treat! Here is a sneak peek (or listen) of the Live Q&A session that was recorded last week inside the CRAVE! membership program.   During the session, I answered questions from members and recapped the lessons that were recorded during the month of October.    Learn firsthand how CRAVE! can help you reach your health and life goals!

As we live our life, there is one sentence steering us in the direction we are going.  In this episode, I share how to find the sentence running your life, how to change it, learn to believe it, and how to start taking action to get the results you want. 

In this episode, I explain the different parts of the brain in a way that may help you understand why you sometimes veer off track and don't follow through on your goals.  It all depends on what part of the brain you let drive the bus.

In this episode, I introduce you to CRAVE! a new membership program that is launching soon.   Learn what's included in the program and if this membership is the one for you. You can also join the waitlist here!

Summer offers us a new routine.   kids' camps college packing vacations Friday happy hours outside family BBQs and more But that doesn't mean you have to throw out the progress you have made on your health journey.

Today we are talking about a thing.  An inanimate object.  It is not alive. Does not breathe, does not talk, yet everyone listens intently to what it says and gives it ALL the power over their lives.  It's the scale. It's what so many of us bow down to every morning and say, “Please scale  -   please allow me to feel good about myself for the day.” Drama around the sc...

Today we learn about our modern brain and our primal brain. When we make a plan using our modern plan ahead of time, we are much more likely to follow through.  If we let the primal brain take over.... well that is where we can run into issues.  Listen as I give examples and dive deep into how you can live the life you crave with a simple plan.

Think about your brain as a room full of thoughts.  You want to get them organized, in order, and deliberate.  Most of the time, thoughts are just random, unfocused, and overwhelming.  When you let your mind go, where does it go? What do you think about? Obsessive thoughts. Habitual thoughts. Thoughts that create desire for buffering.  The process is to clean out and organize y...

Many of us get into a routine during the week and have this thought about the weekends just being hard. We associate weekends with dinner parties, BBQs & potlucks, going out and gorging on all the things!. Maybe weekends are your time off and all you want to do is relax…and cooking seems like so much work. You see, when we don’t challenge our belief that weekends are hard, all we’re going to s...

Many people link together healthy eating and exercise and they make a vow to change their behavior and tackle both at the same time… BUT that only puts our brain in overwhelm and it will do everything in its power to make you stop making changes in both arenas. Pleasure is what drives habit loops. Habits are the actions we take on a daily basis that determine our quality of life. Our habits are bu...

Today is all about sleep Why You Need It When you are not sleeping, your body is cooking up a perfect recipe for weight gain. When you’re short on sleep, it’s easy to lean on a large latte to get moving. You might be tempted to skip exercise  and then grab takeout for dinner, because you're too tired. When you sleep, your body is resting and rebuilding. It's getting everything tuned-up so it...

Today we are talking stress. Why is this important to talk about this? Digestive stress is about 25% what we eat, and 75% who we are being when we eat. Eating under stress is not only commonplace, it’s now socially acceptable and often a prerequisite for managing our lives. Sometimes we wear it as a badge of honor, saying look at me, I’ve got so much going on, that I don't have time for lunch or w...
