Heart to Heart with Hads

The Real Reasons Clean Eating Isn’t Cutting It

We break down why fat loss stalls even when we eat clean, train hard, and swear we’re consistent, and we explain the simplest reasons the scale stays stuck. Then we zoom out to the deeper stuff like cortisol, gut health, and thyroid labs so you can stop guessing and start troubleshooting with a clear plan.  ANTI INFLAMMATORY FOOD GUIDE: https://stan.store/hadleashaw/p/anti--inflammatory-diet-guide [https://stan.store/hadleashaw/p/anti--inflammatory-diet-guide] OPTIMAL LAB VALUES: https://canva.link/iw4j6r2ewfecjav [https://canva.link/iw4j6r2ewfecjav] Apply for 1:1 Health Coaching [https://www.healthwithhadscoaching.com/apply]

What If Productivity Is Not The Point

We slow down for a midyear gut check and get honest about why time feels like it’s flying by when we live for the next task. We talk through presence, solitude, boundaries, and self-compassion so we can stop chasing worth through productivity and start enjoying the life we’re building.  Apply for 1:1 Health Coaching [https://www.healthwithhadscoaching.com/apply]

The Gap Between Who You Are and How You're Living

We share the biggest mindset and identity lessons we brought home from a recent retreat, from reframing hard seasons to learning how to show up with more courage and honesty. We also break down core values and environment shifts that make discipline easier, growth more contagious, and joy something we practice on purpose.  • Reframing challenges as life happening for us rather than to us  • Choosing ownership over victim mindset and using pain as fuel  • Why lived experience lands harder than tips and tactics  • Appreciating the current season to unlock the next level  • Guilt versus shame and how identity gets stuck  • Fear of success, people pleasing, and learning to be seen  • Handling online backlash and letting go of others’ perceptions  • Taking messy action instead of waiting for perfect conditions  • Defining core values that guide daily choices and discipline  • Using environment change to influence habits and relationships  • Reading, reflection, and integrating lessons into real life  Apply for 1:1 Health Coaching [https://www.healthwithhadscoaching.com/apply]

Grace Brown: What If Success Is Beyond What You Do?

We sit down with Grace Brown, a licensed therapist turned coach, and get honest about what actually drives client change: trust, emotional safety, and the stories we attach to success. We unpack why high achievers struggle with vulnerability, how coaches can stop over-owning client outcomes, and what it looks like to be “more than your achievements” in real life.  • Grace’s background, farm life, and bringing personality back into “professional” spaces  • Moving from therapy and fitness coaching into broader life coaching  • Why mindset and the coaching relationship matter more than perfect plans  • Using “fire vs water” to match motivation and communication styles  • Reparenting skills clients never learned and helping build self-trust  • Fear of rejection, ghosting, and the over-responsibility trap for helpers  • Working with shame without piling on criticism  • Guarded clients, surface-level answers, and building depth with curiosity  • Achievement-based worth, fear of failure, and learning to be loved beyond results  You guys can find her on Instagram or TikTok. @gkbrown Apply for 1:1 Health Coaching [https://www.healthwithhadscoaching.com/apply]
