We had a fantastic conversation with Bridget Kelly in this week&apos;s episode. Bridget talks to us about some of the struggles she faced after moving away from home and being in a place in her life where she became unhappy with herself. She found a great community that helped her through those struggles with Weight Watchers. This began after realizing that she was the heaviest she had ever been in her adult life. Bridget found inspiration to take control of her health while building connections with a community she was finding through social media. Bridget talks about the importance of loving yourself regardless of the stage you are at in your life and never quit.

Finding Your People w/ Bridget Kelly

Core values are the building blocks of who you are as a person. You use your values daily and, at times, guide you in making difficult decisions. You also leave your values imprinted on the people you contact throughout your life. As a parent, your children see how you carry yourself and grow with your same values. Suppose you have ever wondered how to create values or why they are essential, then this episode is for you. We discuss why having clear core values is critical and share an exercise that you can do to set core values. Don’t forget to hit that Subscribe button and leave a review. As always, thanks for sharing your time with us and listening to this episode of Self Love Sit Downs.

Common Fitness Myths to Avoid

New year new me! Have you heard this saying before, or is this something that you have used yourself? You may look at a new year as a great time to reset and start new goals or the goals you missed out on the previous year. Fitness and health are usually at the top of many people&apos;s minds, and the marketing for all the "get fit quick" routines know this. Just as quickly as you lose the weight, if it&apos;s not in a sustainable way, you will gain it back. Your metabolism plays a massive role in crushing your goals. In this episode, Kelsey discusses habits that you may be doing that possibly ruin your metabolism. She also gives tips that you can implement to help your metabolism. 3:00-Understanding Metabolism8:14- Not eating enough 12:00- Starting your day with non as nutritious food14:16- Not lifting weights 18:25- Not Drinking enough water19:22- High Stress20:25- Sleep Deprivation 23:15- How to increase your metabolism Don’t forget to hit that Subscribe button and leave a review. As always, thanks for sharing your time with us and listening to this episode of Self Love Sit Downs.

Things That Could Be Killing Your Metabolism

Brittney Wuesthoff joins us today to talk about her journey through her eating disorder and how she overcame it. She developed this at a very young age, and it wasn’t until her late teenage years that she accepted she had a problem and chose to seek professional help. While undergoing treatment, Brittney dared to let the world know that she was attracted to women. As a career firefighter, she can now mentor young women struggling with eating disorders and encourage them to accept they have a problem. The challenges she faced and conquered gave her the strength to pursue a career in a male-dominant environment. “An eating disorder thrives in secrecy” -Brittney WuesthoffInstagram: @brittneyraeanYouTube- “My Recovery Journey”  Don’t forget to hit that Subscribe button and leave a review. As always, thanks for sharing your time with us and listening to this episode of Self Love Sit Downs.

A Journey of Self Acceptance w/ Brittney Wuesthoff

Having an all-or-nothing mindset is a way that many of us live. This mindset can either be a good or wrong way to see things. The good is when you start a fitness journey, you’re all in and ready to accomplish the goal you set yourself out to get. That mindset works against you if you have a slip-up and don’t follow your meal or workout plan. Many see that as a failure and give up on the entire goal. In this episode, we discuss how to recognize that all-or-nothing mindset and use it to your advantage to help level up your life. 1:45- Where does all or nothing come from6:40- Examples of all or nothing12:07- One hundred percent looks different14:12- Maintaining is still progress21:51- How to break the all or nothing mindsetDon’t forget to hit that Subscribe button and leave a review. As always, thanks for sharing your time with us and listening to this episode of Self Love Sit Downs.

An All-or-Nothing Mindset

We have said it  before and we will say it again, it is never too late or too early to start goals in your life. We believe that setting goals and accomplishing them are the building blocks to building confidence. An enormous amount of change happens when you tell yourself you are going to to do something and you do it. “The best time to plant a tree is fifty years ago and right now”  -unknown.  A vast majority of you tell yourself that you&apos;re too old, too tired, or don’t have time to do that thing you’ve always wanted to do. Why are you willing to go to work forty hours a week at a job that is only fulfilling somebody else’s goals and you can’t go home and spend half that amount of time working on your goals? In this  weeks episode we bring you a guest our son Logan that at elven years old is already planning his life. Don’t forget to hit that Subscribe button and leave a review. As always, thanks for sharing your time with us and listening to this episode of Self Love Sit Downs.

It Is Never Too Soon to Start Your Goals w/ Logan Palmen

Are you a person that jumps on the scale to gauge where your health is at? So many of us do just that; we jump on the scale, don’t like what we see, and either get upset or work out even harder. By doing just that, we are potentially reversing or worsening our health. You get hung up on the number the scale spits out, and that sets the standard for so much on your day-to-day activities. You eat less at lunch, and you run an extra little bit, you skip a meal, you eat more out of desperation. In this episode, we go in-depth to help you understand why the scale fluctuates, what you can do to prepare for a weigh-in, and other non-scale victories you are missing out on.2:00-Fluctuations are normal5:25- BMI 9:30- Improve your relationship with the scale16:55- Focus on non scale victories18:55- Reasons the scale me be up28:40- Tips on weighing in on the scaleDon’t forget to hit that Subscribe button and leave a review. As always, thanks for sharing your time with us and listening to this episode of Self Love Sit Downs.

Why It's Normal for Your Weight to Fluctuate From Day to Day

Do you find yourself struggling and feeling as though the world is working against you? You are not alone, and though it may feel like nothing is going the way, you planned there is a lesson to be learned during those hardships. You have to learn to look at that struggle and ask yourself what you should be taking away from this current season you find yourself in. The difficult time is potentially setting you up to handle what is to come. You may not understand now, but more so, the question to ask yourself is, “for what is this preparing me for?” Through this process, life is happening for you and not to you. Embrace and learn from this struggle. In this episode, Kelsey talks about a season of struggle, and it wasn’t until later she found out what the difficult times were setting her up for. Don’t forget to hit that Subscribe button and leave a review. As always, thanks for sharing your time with us and listening to this episode of Self Love Sit Downs.

How To Get Out Of A Season of Struggle

It will never be perfect! Do we have your attention? Perfectionism is a dagger in moments of action. It can hold you from moving forward with your goals and paralyze you from taking the first step.

In this weeks episode, Kelsey talks about how perfectionism can hold you back from reaching your fitness goals. She also shares some experiences some of her clients have run into and how to overcome those challenges. 4:18- Overcoming Perfectionism10:50- Overcome the idea of being perfect14:44- Set realistic goals16:29- Focus on the positives18:55- Allow for mistakes20:47- Be self aware of your tendencies Don’t forget to hit that Subscribe button and leave a review. As always, thanks for sharing your time with us and listening to this episode of Self Love Sit Downs.
