I wanted to bring you another fabulous client testimonial because I feel it is so important to give you an inside look at how I operate and what my clients are saying!  I love sharing all this amazing information on the podcast but hearing from someone I am working with gives you another perspective that you can relate to you! Today I chat with friend and client, Lucy Patterson, about how by finding the right coach she was able to find accountability has helping to get her weight loss journey in the right direction!

Client Testimonial: I finally had a weight loss strategy|127

Do you feel like you need more focus and harmony in your life? But is it even possible, or does it only happen in Lifetime movies??   I truly believe that you can have it! And you can make it happen! First, you have to get out of our own way. So many women get themselves wrapped around the axle with things that doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of life. They are majoring in the minors and worrying about toooo many small details. And listen, I am sorry for calling you out. BUTTT sometimes we need people to help us  get out of our own way and call attention to things to help you see them more clearly! How do you know when the right time is, and how many of those things have actually happened at the right time…?  How do we let the chips fall where they may be and figuring it out?  How do we get into action?

It's possible to have balance in life| 126

As we move through seasons and years, so many times we caught up in asking ourselves, “why isn't this working?”  “Why am I not getting the results that I want? I am doing all the things, but I am not getting the results!”  Well, I wanted to break it down for you… If I could categorize weight loss into 6 buckets, these are the buckets that need to be full in order for you to reach those goals. At some point in life, 1 bucket may be fuller than the others.  And it's our job to figure out which bucket needs to be filled.    LINKS Facebook Page: Facebook Group: Website: Podcast: When you are tired of obsessing over every detail about food or workouts.

Have you ever met someone, and you just connect instantly? 3 words into the conversation and you are like, OH YEAH, we are going to be friends! That is exactly what happened when I met Lesley Logan. I love her vibe; I just love her, and I needed to share her with you! I also love her story so much on how she was able to find her way out of the burnout through her love of Pilates. Lesley now uses Pilates to teach others to care for themselves and to build consistency into their lives by building it into a Pilate’s practice and HELLOOO what a concept!!??? So.. if you are on your road to burn out and you smell something burning?? ?It might just be you!!! It’s time to start doing something for yourself so that you can get out of that burnout and start living the life you deserve, and this starts by just showing up for yourself!

The Secret To Showing Up For Yourself |124

I am loving these client testimonials.  And this one is just as amazing as the rest.  Today we talked all about blind spots!!  There are things that trip us up whether we are a fitness professional or not.  There are things throughout our day that we need a second set of eyes to tell us if it is working, or if we should switch it up to get results.  Everyone can benefit from someone coming in and guiding them through their blind spots to make changes to help them reach their goals. Today’s client, Aubrey Woreck and I talk about how we work together and how I helped her see those blind spots.   LINKS Reboot Perfection Masterclass When you are tired of obsessing over every detail about food or workouts.  Facebook Page: Facebook Group: Website: Podcast:

Moderation… are you cringing at the sound of that word? WELP! I am here to tell you stop cringing and start celebrating!!! Moderation is NOT ? limitation ?taboo  ?restrictions.  ?dieting Moderation is a way to live in a place where you are happy and confident and comfortable with who you are and the decisions you make when it comes to your health and wellness. You can have a life without binging and restricting and it starts with moderation.  It starts with this concept of allowing yourself to have what you want, so that you will never binge again, you will never restrict again, you will never diet again… Jill Coleman is the queen of moderation.  She has done this for years and is now teaching others what worked for her and what has stuck with her!

What truly makes a good workout?  I get asked this question allllll the dang time!  As soon as someone finds out that I am a personal trainer, they always ask me, “what is a good workout?”, then proceed to tell me all these things they do right now! And I hear all of it!  “I don’t think it’s a good workout unless I am sore!” Or “I have to work out for a certain amount of time.” Or “A good workout is if I can’t move the next day.” Raise of hands if this has been you!!  But what research is showing, is that WE DON’T have to kill ourselves in the gym 10, 12, 14 hours a week. That is INSANE!  And if this, is you, you may want to rethink that!   LINKS Reboot and Refocus 10-day challenge for all the women who feel like they've been dieting forever and can't do it anymore.
