Everyone's Busy, Let's cut the BS for Real...

Wondering how to get started?

Today's podcast delves into a surprising perspective on taking that first step towards your goals. “You cannot get poor enough to help poor people thrive or sick enough to help sick people get well. You only ever uplift from your position of strength and clarity and alignment.”

― Abraham Hicks

Believing that life is destined to be a constant struggle won't bring you the fulfilling life you crave. So, where does it all begin? It starts by acknowledging your desires and embracing the sheer joy of expressing them.

True strength lies in allowing yourself to dream big and fearlessly pursuing what brings you genuine happiness. It entails mastering the art of desire, courageously going after what truly sets your soul on fire.

Remember, life doesn't have to be an arduous journey. It can be a captivating voyage of growth and fulfillment when you wholeheartedly pursue your passions and warmly embrace the blessings that come your way.

My fitness journey began over 25 years ago, and it has undergone significant transformation since then. Initially, I embarked on this path to "fix" myself. However, as I matured and refined my skills in weightlifting, mindset, and spiritual growth, I discovered that I was never truly broken or in need of fixing.

In today's podcast, I am thrilled to share the invaluable lessons I've learned along the way. Moreover, I am delighted to introduce my upcoming offering, which encompasses fitness, mindfulness, and spiritual growth. Join me as we embark on this empowering journey together.

Discover a powerful revelation in my latest podcast, where I unveil a secret I've learned from my experience with over 2000 women, including my own journey. It's astonishing how self-doubt can creep into our lives without notice. My recent diagnosis with ADHD has shown me that doubting myself is a learned behavior, manifesting in unexpected ways.

As women, we often grapple with trusting ourselves, influenced by society and personal encounters. This lack of trust becomes a barrier, hindering progress and creating a perpetual cycle of urgency and busyness as we tirelessly attempt to "fix" ourselves.

But fear not! In this episode, I guide you towards embracing your true self and realizing that trust is not an achievement to reach, but an inward voyage worth undertaking. Join me as we explore why self-doubt plagues us and how to face these fears with self-compassion, without self-criticism.

Additionally, I'll divulge my secret to trusting your intuition. So, let's embark on this transformative journey together!

Tune in to the podcast and let's kickstart your self-trust revolution!

"Taking 100% ownership of your mental and physical health is the only way to thrive in all areas of life"

In today's podcast, I will share with you my three simple cheat codes for instantly boosting confidence: unlocking your courage and self-assurance during challenging times.

It's true, times can be tough, and perhaps you find yourself caught up in the busyness of just "getting through" it. The truth is, this can be exhausting and unpleasant. But fear not! Today, I am here to reveal the secrets of shifting and embracing these tough times.

Life is a funny thing, isn't it? As humans, we experience a wide range of emotions and situations. Where many of us, myself included, tend to get stuck is in thinking it's either all bad or all good. But what if I told you there's a better way?

So, whether you're constantly striving to avoid those tough spots or find yourself perceiving everything as tough, I invite you to listen in. I will enlighten you on how to acknowledge, accept, and choose a life that aligns with your true desires.

Ever wondered what happens when you let your guard down? What if, without realizing it, you've been wearing a mask all along? The incessant need for constant busyness may just be intertwined with it.

In today's podcast episode, I'll take you on a vulnerable, raw journey I've been exploring for months. It's fascinating how everything now falls into place. Why am I so determined to challenge the notion of busyness, chronic stress, and embracing a unique life? Why advocate for yourself?

After much self-reflection, I've come to understand the reasons behind my struggles with conventional "best" practices, productivity hacks, self-help ideologies, and motivational strategies. These paths inadvertently led me astray, leaving me drained, overwhelmed, and on the brink of burnout.

Are you prepared to empower yourself to chase your most profound desires in life? 

Take a moment to reflect on the beliefs and self-talk that may be keeping you trapped in an endless cycle of busyness and exhaustion. Are you open to taking a daring leap towards a less hectic lifestyle? 

Consider adopting a new mantra that can potentially transform your perspective. However, remember that it's not about pressuring yourself with excessively positive or performative mantras.

Today’s podcast is all about stopping the tough love feedback loop that is leaving you chronically stressed feeling overwhelming responsibility to stay busy taking care of everyone else.

Start taking action on awareness that ONLY includes personal acceptance.  Allow yourself the options of CHOICE and FREEDOM vs. being stuck overwhelmed believing you have to get "busy" being the "responsible" one. 

Listen in and learn what you can do to accept yourself in your current circumstances and free yourself up to make choices in your life to either love your current life or create a life you love.

Awareness + Acceptance

Creates choice

Dealing with overwhelming responsibility is stressful and it has nothing to do with your "self esteem"

“Instead of mercilessly judging and criticizing yourself for various inadequacies or shortcomings, self-compassion means you are kind and understanding when confronted with personal failings – after all, who ever said you were supposed to be perfect?” Kristin Neff

Today I am going to share something with you that you may have never been taught... SELF COMPASSION!!! And how it can help you navigate the "hard times" and still feel good about yourself...

1. Kindness

2. Common Humanity

3. Mindfulness

Chronic STRESS gets trapped in your BODY and boy do I know this well. 

What does that look like?

Resentment

Anxiety

Misunderstood

Spinning your wheels

Emotionally REACTIVE

Exhaustion (no amount of sleep or day off will solve)

No hunger

Overwhelming hunger

Overwhelm in general

Let's cut through the "RULES" of hunger and how you can preemptively plan for your hunger. It's okay to slow down enough to plan for those moments of "busyness" without leaving yourself exhausted, in a ditch, starving for life.

Sometimes we get stuck saying "but I'm not hungry", or "hunger is normal" or "I'm hungry but don't know the what to eat" or you got so busy you forgot to eat... Then end up ravenous and mindlessly eating then feeling crappy... NO JUDGEMENT HERE... it happens and it's okay..

Want to offer you a new way to think about eating without feeling like you are "failing", especially if you are trying to figure out how to unravel your "busy" life...

Want to offer you an option to do you!

Cutting through some BS today...

Okay let's be honest if you are here trying to break free from busyness, you probably hate it when you are feeling lazy or when you view others as being lazy, right? It feels more "productive" to just stay busy...

What if you are driving your life into a ditch because it's based on a bias you didn't even know you had?

Well today I am going to be exploring the concept of implicit bias and how it can be the reason you can't break up with being so "busy".

It is true.. it is NOT a moral failing to ask for help, from many people. There is this expectation as adults that we have to KNOW how to be a contributing member to society, be successful, have a house, give back, be an amazing citizen, parent, coworker.. "perfection" at it's best.. And somehow it isn't always that way..

Today I am sharing with you how it's okay to ask for help, me included... Just want to acknowledge and validate, it is perfectly normal to FIND help that allows you to break the negative self talk of expectations, so you can CELEBRATE YOURSELF ... That can be so important to you living your best life...

"When you cannot ask for help without self-judgment, you are never really offering help without judgment." Brene Brown

Here are some thoughts and themes that could be why you might not be asking for help or getting the help you need

"If I don't do it all, everything will fall apart": Women often take on too much out of fear that they won't be able to maintain control or appear competent.

"I have to be perfect in everything I do": Women often hold themselves to impossibly high standards that are difficult to meet, leading to feelings of inadequacy and burnout.

"I'm not worthy of rest and relaxation": Women often feel guilty taking time for themselves because they feel they should always be productive and achieve something.

As I talk about today it’s not unusual to be a helper and not being helped. 

In this podcast I’m sharing how you can start unraveling the shame of asking for help.  

You are NOT alone, even though you may feel like you are, holding the weight of the world on your shoulders. 

Take a listen to today’s podcast and you might find some helpful tips to start learning how to ask for help

And hey, if you ever need a hand letting go and asking for help, just reach out and give me a shout! 

Ever dreamed of a "life" you wanted and it doesn't quite turn out like you thought it SHOULD? Do you feel like life is happening to you? How did I get here?

Well today I share a little bit of my own story of why I needed to learn how to quit being so "BUSY" and learn what it feels like to be ALIVE.

A woman that grew up in a world reading romance novels, watching princess Disney movies, and loving the movie 16 Candles... I thought my life would be like that, and guess what it wasn't. Chasing other's dreams... thinking those were my dreams and still didn't satisfy me .. and didn't feel like me...

So I got busy trying to make myself fit this "dream" that was not my own...

Now I am sharing some of that with you and why being present in my current life is giving me the FREEDOM, I didn't realize I had a right to CHOOSE.

"We are all human and it can look different for everyone, doesn't have to look like everyone else to be important or meaningful."

I'm honored to get the chance to talk to and coach this amazing woman Jess.

Lost her best friend in her teens, parents split up a year later, and then diagnosed with cancer in her early 20s. But even with all that going on, she was always smiling and laughing, saying she was "fine" or "okay." Can you imagine, didn't blame her for feeling like life was just happening to her?

And after all of that, she started to feel like she should fix herself by losing weight and getting fit. But as we worked together on her mindset and being in her body, she was diagnosed with cancer again, that is when she finally got it.

She realized that busyness wasn't a point of pride, she didn't need to fix herself and she was finally ready to celebrate herself and enjoy life. She's connected with and working alongside her own body, and let me tell you, she's glowing now like never before!

It's amazing to see that she's now confident in her ability to live a meaningful life without being too busy to truly live it. Her story is truly remarkable, and I think we could all learn a thing or two from her.

Jess Madden is a 49 yr old wife, mom of two amazing girls (15 & 11), sister, daughter, volunteer, realtor, office manager for a small company, lover of food, laughter, music, good books, the ocean, sand between my toes, great friends and family - on a journey to stop being too busy to enjoy life, to feel 'good' and find out what I truly want out of life.

Wanted to share a little of my "busyness" story and why I talk about it here.

Stop "getting" busy taking action and take a minute to listen how you can shift your energy to create a life full of ease and confidence.

“Crazy-busy' is a great armor, it's a great way for numbing. What a lot of us do is that we stay so busy, and so out in front of our life, that the truth of how we're feeling and what we really need can't catch up with us.”

- Brene Brown

If you stay busy you don't have "time" to feel. When you want to create presence and enjoy your current life you might want to slow down and stop doing all the "neck" up tactics.

"Body keeps the score" Bessel van der Kolk

Start with the wisdom of your body, and stop the "thinking" habit to experience a whole full life. Are you ready to quit being in front of your life and living your life? Focus on the wisdom of the body..
