Three Keys to Make Your Diet Last

"Diet." We have a love hate relationship with that word. We all know what it's like to commit hard to a rigid plan, hit a roadblock, and then lose steam or even backslide entirely. In this episode, I share what I believe are three keys to making your diet last. Quantity, Quality, and Longevity are the three factors that supercharge your health habits when taken into consideration. Please enjoy today's episode.

The Monsters in Our Closet

We all have monsters in our closet. Some more than others, but we all face the similar effect of being driven by our unconscious motivations. All too often we distract ourselves from the core issue at hand, busying our attention with tackling little monsters ... the small issues stemming from the core problem we face. In this episode, we dissect this phenomenon and give you tools to face your biggest monster and live in freedom.

Control Yo'Self! And Only Yo'Self.

In this episode, we talk about control, more specifically self - control. You're right, this is NOT a sexy word, and the conversation we typically have on this topic is one - dimensional. This conversation expands our view of self - control as we discuss the two ditches of control: under - extending self - control by not trusting our gut, and over - extending control beyond ourselves. I encourage you to take responsibility for your actions by trusting your decisions and moving past fear, doubt, and insecurity ... I encourage you to de-stress your life by letting go of what you can't control ... and I give you practical steps on how to do this by changing our beliefs through the stories we tell ourselves.

This episode clears the clutter around love and leaves you with practical next steps to get you into an environment for love to grow and flourish in your life.
