42. The key to sustainable results is not what you think it is (ie. macros)

In this episode, I talk about the common idea of "maintainable" and "sustainable" in the fitness + diet space and how counting macros / flexible dieting isn't the end-all-be-all solution to unsustainble results.

41. This is LIVING

In this episode, I talk about the types of experiences, relationships and achievements really available to you when your energy isn’t consumed by the pursuit of MORE or BETTER. Rather than chasing a better life in the future, realize the act of chasing is what's stopping you from living.

40. Forget transformation photos + challenges and do this instead

In this episode, I talk about the word TRANSFORMATION: the ways we've been conditioned to view + approach it (especially from the fitness + weight-loss industries), the shadow sides + inefficiencies of approaching it this way and some examples of how to truly transform your life from the inside -> out.

39. Change where you are by accepting where you are

In this episode, I talk about the inefficiencies of our typical approach to goals and change: using our resistance and judgement of where we are as motivation to change it.

38. Releasing the shame in ease

In this episode, I talk about the inherent shame that comes from desiring ease in a world where working hard, grinding and expressing tons of effort is associated with our value and success... and how allowing for ease can actually set us up for more success in our goals and for the rest of our lives.

37. How to trust yourself (with food and otherwise)

In this episode, I share why it's so difficult for many of us to intuitively eat and trust ourselves to make healthy choices with food (and otherwise) and how to cultivate the self-trust required to let go of food rules and adopt food freedom.

28. What if my jealousy is a gift? [Part 1/2]

In this episode, I real-time process a breakthrough I was experiencing the night prior when having a conversation with a girl friend. I shine light on the pattern of jealousy and all the shameful, dark ways it can show up… and learn how to process it through acceptance to extract the deeper lesson available to me inside of it.

27. What if I'm scared no matter which decision I make? [behind the scenes]

This episode is a behind-the-scenes clip of a powerful coaching session. I coached someone into their clarity around what to do with their current financial and business situation. We discovered that her confusion was rooted in her ego disguising itself as intuition, which was making it hard for her to connect with what felt right and true for her.

26. What if my perception of myself is what’s broken?

I’m healing & growing so much in social environments these days… and this breakthrough was definitely initiated by my current social life. When my poor body image patterns are triggered, I can feel myself resisting any external influence that I receive to feel good about myself and my appearance. I’m learning more and more how much my body image issues have so little to do with my actual body. This episode, I share a breakthrough that I witnessed in a client recently that I later realized was something I needed to apply to myself.

25. What if I lose everything that makes me “worthy”?

I’ve learned that my worth came from a lot of external things… my identity, body and lifestyle as a personal trainer… my income… my success… my accomplishments… my work ethic… and I’m currently in a place where everything I’ve latched onto to feel good enough, accepted, loved, validated and admired… is gone. I can’t tangibly grab onto any of it anymore. I can sense a deeper purpose unfolding to get me to access a deeper worth; one that could never be taken from me… so I can see how much MORE I’m capable of creating in my life from THAT place. In order to access that, I’m being initiated into feeling and purging the shame and unworthiness that existed in me underneath all the accomplishments, success and egoic identities.

24. Creating your best life from the inside-out [behind the scenes]

This episode is a recording of a group coaching session I lead for a group of coaches and entrepreneurs in a community called The Secret Garden. This session, I take you through a powerful tool called The Deeper Desire (reference: Alyssa Nobriga and Institute for Coaching Mastery) which helps you reprogram the pattern of going outside of yourself to get what you want and shift out of disempowered ways of being so you can more easily step into what you want. For the first half of the session, you can follow along and answer the prompts so you have a reference point for the spot coaching that follows.

23. What if I can ACTUALLY enjoy working out?

Do you actually enjoy working out… or do you “enjoy” the mental justification it gives you to feel better about yourself, your day, your productivity, your status in society, etc…?

Because up until recently, I thought feeling good about myself after working out meant I enjoyed it… even if I was at all dreading it, not present at all and just going through the motions to get it over with.

Only recently (after 10 years of being a “fitness person” lol) have I discovered what it means to really LOVE working out. And I really love loving it. Here’s what needed to happen to bring me there🥰

22. How to work with everything that's holding you back [behind the scenes]

This episode is a behind-the-scenes recording of a group coaching experience I lead inside of The Secret Garden called Doing The Work. Any time you're leaning into an edge that challenges who you've previously believed you are and what you're capable of... ALL of the patterns that have been conditioned into you to keep you safely in what's familiar are going to come online. This never goes away, as it shows up at every new level you expand into... and that's good news. Even though you can clearly see how insecurity, doubt, fear and perfectionism slow you down or hold you back from having what you want and feeling how you want to feel... you don't need these patterns to go away in order to have what you want. It's about changing your relationship with these patterns so that when they come up, they no longer take you out of the game. Today's session leads you to experience the power of acceptance over all of the blocks, patterns and resistance that shows up in your life and business.
