Being motivated and STAYING motivated is crucial to getting  things done and being successful in our lives. If we live our lives on autopilot, allow our tendencies to derail our efforts to succeed and stay in a state of feeling unmotivated - we may give up on goals that can bring us happiness and wellbeing. Understanding motivation is really important when you want something, but feel umotivated to start or perist at taking the necessary steps to achieve your goal. In this episode I break down what motivation is, what gets in the way of feeling motivated and how to increase motivation to reach your goals.

Follow these three steps to get past feeling stuck, spinning your wheels or taking action without getting anywhere. We create all our results in life by the choices we make. This three part series has all the steops to get you going in creating a life you absolutely LOVE!!

Step two on how to create a life you love!! In the first part of this series on How To Create A Life You LOVE - I introduced the idea around taking responsibility for your choices and evaluating all aspects of your life to find the areas you most want to change. It took me throwing a lot at the wall and many years and a lot of money on mistakes trying to figure this out lol. So, if you are feeling stuck and want to make changes, but feel unsure about where to start, go back an episode and listen to the first part of this series. Part two in the series is how to identify your result in life and construct an action plan to get there!! Be prepared to get moving. Buckle up for the ride. Things are going to get interesting!!

Part one on how to create a life you LOVE!  Turning forty was a news flash for me and NOT a good one. I was feeling tired, overweight and less than satisficed with my career. I had so many things to be grateful for which made me feel guilty for wanting more and feeling unhappy with where I was at. At forty, I made a decision to make changes and it eventually led to me becoming a life and health coach. It has taken me 9 years for this all to come to fruition even though I started my business in the end of 2018. What I learned along the way, I hope to help you create much faster and with less starts and stops, and misguided detours. Becoming a coach has helped me not only create better awareness in my won life and create more fulfillment - BUT also a process for helping others do the same. In this episode, I share the first part of creating change by identifying what it is in fact that you are actually not-happy with in life. On the journey of creating a life you absolutely freaking LOVE -you need to first evaluate all the areas of life and decide which ones need changing and why. So, welcome to part one - How To Create a Life You LOVE!

The Mindset of healthy weight loss: 2 Mindset blocks that require acceptance to move forward in a healthy way... People often look for the perfect diet, the perfect exercise plan or want to just be given the steps for weight loss. In reality, these can all work or not work, but one thing that must happen for permanent weight loss is accepting yourself and  coming from a place of self-love. When find emotions too painful to look at, we deny them. Denial doesn't get rid of the emotions, but we often turn to food to help "numb" out what we do not want to feel.  When we are overly critical of ourselves, our bodies and come from a place of self-loathing - we want to hate ourselves thin as a way to be motivated. Our bodies, our results will always reflect how we feel on the inside whether we are living in negativity or denying it exists. To move forward we must be honest with ourselves and practice loving, compassion. We open to the imperfect nature we all exist as...

In this episode I help to clarify the role of a coach versus a consultant.....There are a lot of people out there calling themselves "coaches" because it seems trendy and marketable. But are they really providing coaching? And what is the difference? Experts out there claiming to be coaches and saying only qualified experts CAN be coaches is wrong, in my opinion....In fact they probably do not know what coaching REALLY is. So, let's discuss.

Autoimmune disorders are on the rise. Why is that? Are we doomed to succumb to their debilitating affects? In this podcast, I help to unravel the confusion about Autoimmune disorders and offer a unique perspective on  how to approach these diseases. Whether you have been diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder or have questionable symptoms that you take to your health care provider, the information in this podcast may help empower you to ask more questions and consider a holistic approach to help your body recover. Stress seems to be the underlying trigger that gets the immune system attacking it's own body tissues - whether it is environmental, nutritional, physical, emotional or the body's ability to detoxify. Listen to this podcast for some ideas on how to identify triggers and reduce possible triggers. Mentioned in this episode is the idea that high blood sugar levels and insulin create inflammation and can be a possible "trigger" - you can start monitoring your blood sugar levels by using a CGM (continuous glucose monitor).

What is Brain fog? Brain fog can leave you feeling spaced out, like your walking through a maze. It can make you distractible, irritable and fatigued. Brain fog has many symptoms, but is not a medical diagnosis -despite it being fairly common in women during menopause and after covid19 infections. It can be scary, frustrating and isolating when you feel your brain is not working optimally and can get in the way of fully participating in your life. So, in this podcast episode, I discuss what the literature is saying about what is brain fog, what causes it and how to support brain fog recovery. Check out this resource for all the details and ideas to help you support recovery from "Brain Fog": Brain Fog Resources Need more help?
