Hey There Friend,

This week over on The Empath Woman Awaken Podcast, I had a special guest and we talk all things overwhelm, and how instead you can be more empowered to feel exactly the way you want to feel.

I don't know about you, but before I had a handle on my intense feelings, overwhelm was a familiar friend.

Before I get into the episode, and how you can lower your feelings of overwhelm by being intentional with the space you create.

I want to help you understand that overwhelm isn't actually a true thing. (Even if it feels like it.)

It's an emotion, driven by your thoughts.

The best part is that you get to master your mind and therefore master your thoughts.

The key is being willing to pay attention to your thoughts, and recognize them for what they are.

I'm curious if you ever find yourself "numbing out," and not wanting to feel anything, using things like, over-eating, over-drinking, over-spending and even over stuffing your house, and closet with things.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us.-Marianne Williamson

 I can't tell you the amount of times I said to myself, " I am doing every single thing right and this dang weight won't budge, nothing is working."

Through my own weight loss experience and almost a decade of coaching I have come to understand the real meaning of "nothing works," as really a way of self sabotage, and one of the lies we tell ourselves that keep us stuck. 

The real issue isn't that we don't have time, or we are too stressed and overwhelmed, or that we have a low thyroid...it goes much deeper than that. 

We have what Gay Hendrick's in his book "The Big Leap" calls, an Upper Limit Problem. This is about when we start to push up against the limit of what what we believe we deserve, we take actions (either consciously or unconsciously) to bring...

Today I want to share with you the secret I discovered that made all the difference for weight loss after I turned 40.

A decade ago I was thrilled with losing 70 pounds and that weight stayed off, until I hit my 40's.

Then all of a sudden what I had been doing no longer worked, my weight slowly crept back on, my body began to hurt and my hormones went a little wacky!

I went nose to the books, taking courses, and threw myself into research, I wanted to know what was going on and what I could do. 

I kept reading about Keto, but the problem was as a Health Coach, I was unhappy with what I saw. 

So I dove deeper into understanding women's hormones, why Keto works, and losing weight. I continued to read, listen to Podcasts, and throw myself into more courses to master my craft as a Health and Weight Loss Coach.

One day, everything changed.

Finally I found the secret, and effortlessly released 31 pounds!

I've got a question for you friend, what do you think about when it comes to losing weight? Do you assume that you will have to go without the foods you love and feel hungry most of the time? 

While this is true for most fad diets that leave people feeling lethargic and with no energy, it doesn't have to be true for you.

My commitment to you is that I teach you to how to never have to diet again, that you feel total freedom around food, and learn how to alleviate the feelings of restriction and deprivation for good.

I don't ever want you to go back to the old habits that pile the pounds back on (again). Of course, your diet plays an important role in your weight. Most doctors will agree that to lose weight in a healthy and balanced way it's important to make proper lifestyle choices, but is that enough? 

What if you have an idea of what to eat, but life gets in the way and you don't FEEL like eating that way.

You have a bit of confusion...

If you were on Monday's Facebook Live (catch the replay above) you may have heard me talk about the importance of focusing on the essentials to get to your weight loss goals.

By now you may have tapered off in losing weight, usually by March the once overpacked January gym is empty again, not to say that you haven't continued, if you have that's amazing and I'm super proud of you, AND let's keep going! But for the majority this is what happens. We have likely lost focus of the essentials.

We set big goals, go ALL-IN, change all of our habits, adopt this "New Year, New Me" motto, then boom we get burnt out and our intensity and focus fizzle out.

What if you didn't need a "new me," what if the "old" you is perfect just as she is, but maybe needs a few tweaks to get her to her goal? 

I personally love to operate from a place of empowerment, the achiever, the goal setter and accomplisher....even if it takes me a little longer than expected.

I'll...

Feel like it’s taking forever to lose the weight? Concerned that all your hard work is for nothing?

Maybe you’re really starting to wonder if you have what it takes to stay in the long haul and lose this weight for good? 

Today I did a Weight Loss Minute with Jen and I share what it truly takes to succeed at getting to your goals. Be sure to watch the short clip above.

As many of you know I released 70 pounds almost a decade ago, and I assure you my path was anything but straight. I had failures along the way, lost weight to gain it back, tried this diet and that one. But I didn't quit.

Maybe you feel like you aren't sure you want to keep going.  Beginning to doubt your ability to stay in the game. Life is too busy, you don't have time and it feels overwhelming. 

It's time to stop with your old stories that keep you stuck.

No more self doubt, it's not going to get you to where you want to be. It's time to draw a line in the sand and say THIS IS IT,...
