The Ultimate Journey of Self-Care

This episode begins December with a look at one of the most common mindsets around this time of year--the need to ‘make up’ for what we DON’T DO. We can struggle with consistency and thinking we are ALL of that enough with the increased demands and struggles of the holidays. We find that we believe we need to do ALL the things and BE all the things--which often leaves our own self care low on the...

Today’s episode completes our deep dive into our Energy focus and the Fit Life. The holiday season often provides a challenge for us and our self care in that the demands on us increase exponentially.  We find that we believe we need to do ALL the things and BE all the things--which often leaves our own self care low on the priority list.  Couple all the holiday to do’s with travel and a...

Continuing our deep dive into our Energy focus and the Fit Life. In examining how energy works within our bodies and how it helps us be at our best is what we eat and how we rest. Our society views sleep and rest as ‘one more thing’ on the list, and as a result our eating behaviors and energy levels are affected. How much we rest directly influences our metabolism, our food choices and how we...

Today’s episode goes into the mindset of a Fit Life.  It’s part of the deeper dive we are taking all throughout November on examining how energy works, and how it’s connected to a Fit Life.  So often we beat up on ourselves for what we HAVEN’T been able to do--and it weighs us down and affects our energy. Part of a Fit Life is developing a mindset that is conducive to releasing judgement...

Today’s episode takes a look at what ENERGY is, and the three main building blocks of how our energy levels are directed.  One of the biggest complaints and comments made in today’s busy fast paced world is ‘I have no energy--I'm worn down and don’t feel good’.  Energy (or lack thereof) is responsible for ALL of it. Sleep, Dietary changes and Exercise/Fitness are by far the three MAIN el...

Today’s episode continues a monthly focus on the different aspects of Self Care, and we continue with a what is probably the MOST FUN one--Self Care for your Spirit.   Many people confuse anything related to spirit and soul with religion--and it doesn’t have to be. Having strategies to help nourish our soul and spirit are not just good for our mental and emotional health, but it helps connect...

Today’s episode continues a monthly focus on the different aspects of Self Care, and we continue with a subject that is so interconnected for our entire body--Self Care for your Gut. Aside from the obvious part of our gut being the place where food and drink goes to nourish our bodies---our guts harbor and help direct production of essential bacteria and other substances that help our brain and co...

Today’s episode continues a monthly focus on the different aspects of Self Care, and we continue with Self Care for your Body. Our bodies are very valuable assets--and it’s important that we have a strategy in place to take care of them on a day to day basis--not just when it suits us, or when we have a goal in place. Like anything else--the details of our every day routines can lend themselv...

Today’s episode starts a monthly focus on the different aspects of Self Care, and we begin with Self Care for your Mind. We get set in our habits and practices and when we wonder why what we do isn’t working--we tend to look at WHAT we are doing there, rather than what our habits are telling us. Our minds will follow what we tell them to do, and we get GOOD at what we do OFTEN. Listen in...

Today’s episode gets into what I have come to believe and understand as one of the TOP barriers to us not taking care of ourselves--the concept of time and it’s management.  Listen today to get some insight behind the false narrative of why we struggle with getting enough time for us, and some helpful tips and hacks to building time into your day that you can devote to your self care.  W...

Today’s episode zeros in more on our free fitness and self care challenge--namely it has been re-branded with a new focus! In my conversations with so many of you, I have discovered a theme of us being aware of our inability to stay consistent with taking care of us.  Why is it we do so many things well, yet we can’t seem to ‘get it right’ with the fitness and self care? Guess what? There is...

Today’s episode comes to you straight from Key West, Florida--where we just wrapped up our second destination fitness retreat! If you have been on a retreat of any kind, it may feel more like work--like going to a conference room and listening to presentations and talks all day.  Our retreats are not like that! We put the FUN back in to doing something away from your current environment, and...

The online fitness and health space has gotten so LOUD lately--there are literally hundreds of program options for promising fast and lasting results.  Because of the over abundance of information out there, it’s so easy to make a lasting strategy for you too hard, too complex and not one you can stick with in the long run. In this episode, I outline the very template I use with all my client...

Giving yourself time to reset can be a game changer.  When we constantly push and press ‘play’ on our daily routines--we may get a break briefly--but we never get a chance to break the cycle.  Our bodies are meant to adapt to whatever is going on with us--even if we are working on overload and we get REALLY GOOD at what we do often.  In Today’s episode, I break down just what we do...

This week’s episode zeros in on some of the more common ‘myths’ and ‘false beliefs’ we hold as to why we can’t stick with a regular fitness and self care program. I’ll outline the three most common ones I hear--and that every one is just that--a MYTH. As in NOT TRUE. I’ll also outline why false beliefs are usually the surface of what really holds us back. Do you have any false beliefs yo...

This week’s show highlights how to approach a challenge.  From time to time in our lives, we simply ‘fall off’ the workout and self care programs we try to start, for a variety of reasons.  At different points in time, we attempt to change that by doing some sort of new program or ‘challenge’--maybe with a friend, or through another avenue.  In today's episode I share three differen...

This week’s episode deconstructs the whole ‘Get More by Doing More’ mentality--and instead replaces it with ‘Getting More done with Less’.  Our self care doesn’t have to be another ‘to do’ list where we simply keep pushing to finish it. In fact, the exact mentality we talk about on today’s show is just that--doing less to GET MORE.  I’ll share how this approach actually slows us down, an...
