We've all been there - those moments when we wish we could just vanish from sight as embarrassment washes over us.

On today’s episode, we chat about ‘The Mental Load & the empty cup’ The givers of this world usually don't take the time to replenish and restore so that they can have something to give. They’re left with little to no time to see their own needs are met or build up their reserves, essentially, they’re giving from an empty cup.

Today we're chatting about patience as it pertains to losing weight & getting healthier. And, when it comes to losing weight, we want immediate results just as much as the next person. Patience and perseverance allow you to reach your weight loss goals with certainty. Without these two qualities, progress can stall and keeping focused on your goal feels daunting. It's tempting to give up

The human gut is clever. Referred to as our ‘2nd brain’ it contains millions of neurons and is home to the microbiome, an army of microbes that influences your mood, immune system and… your weight. Today we’re talking about how important it is to have a healthy gut and how our gut does more than many of us realize. Website Instagram YouTube

Confidence mean being sure of yourself and your abilities but confidence is so much more than people generally consider.
