This can look like editing your work a million times instead of finishing. Not talking in social groups because you can’t think of the right words. Procrastinating on a project because you’d rather do endless research first. You’re hardworking and you do everything with integrity. That’s wonderful… but your perfectionism is trapping you in stress, wrecking your self-esteem, and risking your physical health. Listen to this episode for my best tips on overcoming perfectionism , plus my personal story of how perfectionism derailed my love of writing music. You’ll hear how I broke free from perfectionism and fell in love with writing again. If you liked Mastering the Art of Letting Go, you’ll want to hear this! Learn how letting go of perfectionism will help you love yourself as you are and enjoy the imperfect journey of life. _____ Want to drop unhealthy habits, start better habits, and see lasting positive change in your life?

108. Fulfillment Begins with Being Present | Ciara Burton
“If I were to live my life for me, what would that look like?” Moms often feel the need to do everything 24/7, rarely catching a break. A mom might feel pressured to take care of her kids perfectly, be an unshakeable support for her partner, keep the household in order, and show up professionally and be productive like a machine. Stay-at-home moms hardly get any rest either, and single moms often feel overwhelmed. If you’re a mom, ask yourself: Are you stressed out?

Ciara’s course, Becoming Her, helps moms release themselves from the pressure to constantly do more and more. They find their inner compass and discover who they want to be instead of what they want to do. Ciara gives insightful advice in this episode for moms and anyone else who’s tired of living for others’ expectations.

107. Mastering the Art of Letting Go
So much of our stress is caused by the setbacks we face in life, such as when someone does something hurtful to us or we experience failure or rejection. When those things happen, they feel like a punch in the gut. The impact creates so much stress that if we don’t learn to let go, it can last for months or even years. This causes stress to build up in the body and stay there. You may eventually get used to the stress and not notice it as much… but it’s still there, causing physical and emotional damage. That’s why I want to talk about the art of letting go. In this episode, you’ll learn to release the stress you’ve been carrying in your body from those emotional gut punches. I’ll guide you through a box breathing exercise to get you relaxed and a body scanning exercise to help you release tension through your whole body. I’ve had some major stressful moments in my life, including one I’m going to share today. But I’ve learned to acknowledge my feelings and then let go. Releasing this stress felt like a weight off my shoulders, so now I’m sharing my tips with you so you can do the same! _____ Want to drop unhealthy habits, start better habits, and see lasting positive change in your life?

How long have you been wishing for a change that hasn’t happened yet?

103. Age Is Just A Number: Ignite Your Potential At Any Age
So often, people have big dreams but don’t fully pursue them. They let limiting beliefs get in the way. One of the most common limiting beliefs is “I’m too old.” If this thought has popped into your head now and then, maybe you believe it’s too late to achieve your dreams. On the other hand, some people think they’re too young. They want to do big things, but they feel impostor syndrome because they’re intimidated by people with years of experience. But I don’t view age as a limitation. I believe anyone can achieve their dreams at any age – it just takes a mindset shift. In this solo episode, I’m revealing some of my favorite inspirational icons who achieved extraordinary things at different ages. I’ll also share three tips to help you change your mindset so you can see your potential instead of seeing your age as a limitation. If you need a motivation boost, take a few minutes to listen to this episode. Then follow up with action. Age is just a number… so don’t let that number stop you from living the life you were meant to live! _____ Want to drop unhealthy habits, start better habits, and see lasting positive change in your life?

101. How to Be Resilient in the Face of Rejection
Rejection feels like a punch in the gut. It doesn’t matter if it’s your personal life or professional. It doesn’t matter if it happened last week or last year (or maybe before that). Rejection is painful, embarrassing, and even scary. You may think, “What’s wrong with me?” “What if I never succeed?” “I’m not cut out for this.” And to make things worse, rejection can give you a fear of taking risks and trying new things. So if you don’t know how to handle rejection, it can cause you to miss out on amazing life experiences. That’s why I’m talk about rejection today. In this short episode, I’m getting personal. I’m sharing a story about a rejection I went through years ago that really hurt me – and how I healed from it. I also reveal ways I’ve jumped out of my comfort zone and tried new things (even though it was scary). Listen in to learn how you can reframe rejection and stop beating yourself up. I’ll share with you the most important question to ask yourself after being rejected, and the “muscle” you can build that helps you bounce back from rejection. Rejection hurts… but you don’t have to be afraid of it anymore! _____ Want to drop unhealthy habits, start better habits, and see lasting positive change in your life?

91. Why I Didn’t Niche Down In My Fitness Business
This week we have a short solo episode! I’m sharing a story of something that happened years ago yet still sticks with me today. I was teaching Pilates classes at a large gym. It was a lot of fun, but there was a problem. I had trouble getting men to sign up for my classes. I tried to talk to men and inform them about the history and benefits of Pilates, but it didn’t work. Since they only saw women doing it, it seemed like a female thing – and they weren’t interested. Many entrepreneurs would have said, “Okay, I’ll niche down to only serving women.” But that didn’t feel right to me. I wanted to help a variety of people reach their fitness goals. So instead of niching down, I decided I was going to find a way to get men into my classes. Tune in to this short episode to find out what I did and how things turned out. Whether you’re an entrepreneur or not, I hope this episode encourages you to open yourself up to possibilities and be bold enough to take risks.

Everyone wants to be healthier. But the biggest mistake most people make with their health is that they wait until they get sick, then they go to the doctor, then they get lost in the rabbit hole of pills, treatments, and more pills that may or may not work.

They just have to take charge of their health, get the man-made garbage out that’s accumulated, and start pumping the body full of nature, because you are nature.” If this is something you agree with, tune in to the episode!

“We’re always talking about what it’s like to be in a relationship with other people. But we forget the value of ‘What’s it like to be in a relationship with me?’” We are constantly busy all day. Our minds are pulled in a million different directions. How many times have you looked at your phone today? Checked your email? Checked all your other notifications? If you don’t take time to slow down and reconnect with yourself, you’ll wear yourself out physically, mentally, and spiritually. (And if you think you don’t have time, think again.) My guest Amber Hagberg is a yoga instructor, business coach, and host of the Y oga Off the Mat podcast. In our conversation today, she gives plenty of truths and wisdom about the value of self-care and taking time for you.

(17:58) The amazing thing that happens if you turn off your phone for one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening (21:18) If you don’t think you have time for self-care, Amber has valuable advice for you (30:54) Amber’s #1 tip for gaining confidence when you’re afraid to do something Yoga is Amber’s favorite way to get people to reconnect with themselves, but it’s not the only way. Whether you’re a yoga fanatic or you’ve never tried it, this episode is worth a listen.

15. The Body Love Recipe | Sari Dana
Have you noticed that it’s much easier to find flaws in your appearance than finding good things? You can look in the mirror and easily see flaws, but it’s hard to look in the mirror and believe you’re beautiful as you are. That’s because society pressures people, especially women, to look a certain way. But my guest in this episode is going to change that. Today I have with me Sari Dana, a body positivity coach who helps women of all sizes love their bodies and practice intuitive eating. As an anti-diet advocate, Sari believes diets do nothing but make people restrict and punish themselves instead of loving and accepting themselves. In our conversation, Sari gets candid about the problems caused by diet culture and why intuitive eating is a better solution. She opens up about her struggles with an eating disorder and how she overcame it. If you want to be at peace with your body, be sure to listen to this episode!

“The worst lies are the lies we tell ourselves.” You may have heard this quote from author Richard Bach, and it sums up today’s episode perfectly. We all tell ourselves lies that keep us from getting what we want in life. We tell ourselves we’re not worthy of our dreams, or we’re not smart enough, or we don’t deserve something we desire. What lies have you told yourself? And how would your life change if you started being honest with yourself and stopped denying what you really want? If that sounds great to you, you’ll love my conversation with Danielle Laura. Danielle is the first guest of my Women’s Empowerment Series that I’m doing throughout the month.

1. Follow Your Passion | Maia Reed
I originally shared this conversation on National Stress Awareness day. It also would have been my father’s 65th birthday. The reason that I needed to start these discussions about stress, was because my father was the type of person that took care of everyone else but himself. Stress, unfortunately, contributed to him not eating well, decompressing in front of the TV daily, and not exercising. It’s my goal to get my message out to the masses, that if we create fun solutions, and make sustainable, behavioral changes, the world is our oyster. Maia Reed met my father, and he really thought she was something special, had great energy, and just a positive influence in my life. And I am so thrilled to have her on my first episode with me. Maia is sharing with us what got her into sustainability, her journey in following her passions, and dealing with stress by doing simple actions each day.
