Weight Loss for Busy Physicians | ​​Helping Women Physicians Lose Weight for the Last Time

So many physicians can relate to the feeling that you’re always busy and tired. I tackle this important topic on another on-air free coaching session with Nikki, who is struggling with fatigue and wanting to get past this. We go over the thoughts and I explain how what she’s thinking is influencing how she’s feeling. It’s important to know that the more you think something, you actually create tha...

When Oprah asked her audience members what they wanted for their lives, the common answers revolved around ‘just being happy’ but most people didn’t even know what that looked like.

Accountability is a major topic within my coaching groups but I realized that there’s a way we tend to see accountability wrong.

It’s not at all what I had planned for this week, but as soon as I read the book, I...

Starting the week with an emergency health issue really got me thinking about how I react to issues and receive help.

It’s easy to think that gossiping is a schoolgirl thing to do or to associate it with high school or sorority life, but the truth is that you may be participating in this harmful behavior more than you realize.

The model was always there and we used it even before knowing it existed and how to use it. In this episod...

While we all know that feeling hungry is normal and expected when our bodies need food, sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between true hunger and emotional hunger. Often our brains try to trick us into eating even when we don't need to, and resisting those unnecessary urges can be really difficult. But what if I told you that resistance wasn't the answer? In this episode, I...

Have you ever wondered why people are afraid of rejection? It’s a fascinating reality, especially considering that the feeling is so common and easily triggered. We can feel rejected if someone doesn’t want a second date, if a patient leaves us a negative review, if our child wants someone else to put them to bed—the list goes on and on. So why does the fear of rejection still dictate our behavior...

Many of us think of quitting as a clear, definite end where we totally give up, but today I want to talk to you about a smaller, sneakier kind of quitting that doesn’t really feel like a problem—until it is. I’m talking about what I call the micro-quit . It’s a subtle way our brains justify going off plan just a little bit, and then gradually convince us to quit completely. And if we don’t see it...
