Ep. #135: Food Pushers and What To Do

Dec 30, 2024

In this episode I want to talk about food pushers and what to do about them.

A “food pusher” is just the other humans who offer us food, who try to convince us to eat the thing.

Listen in to this episode as I dive deep into taking ownership of your weight back, and taking your power back.

No one is responsible for you losing or gaining weight except you.

I will give you a little trick I teach in Transform around the urge of eating it anyway and negotiating with yourself.

You are always in control. You always decide what you are going to eat. If someone offers you food – decide what you want to think about it – something that serves you. Then take the next best action for yourself.

Are you ready to take your power back?

In today’s episode, you will discover:

  • What a “food pusher” is
  • When someone offers you food, it doesn’t mean anything until you have a thought about it

Ep. #134: It's Me or You, Thinking You Have to Choose

Dec 30, 2024

We have been taught that if we take care of ourselves, if we put our oxygen mask on first, then we are selfish, that we don’t care about others.

Join me in this episode as I dive deep on how that is just not true. In fact, it is the opposite – we are not as good of a mother, wife, friend, etc. if we are not taking care of ourselves.

I will teach you how investing in yourself, taking care of yourself will help you to show up better for everyone else in your life. That it is not selfish to take care of yourself first.

You don’t have to choose. You can invest in yourself and your family. We get to put ourselves on the list (and not at the bottom either!).

Are you ready to lose all the guilt and step into the next version of yourself? One who is ready to have deeper connections and love for everyone else because it starts with yourself.

In today’s episode, you will discover:

  • How to lose the guilt around taking care of yourself first

Ep. #132: For the Love of the Body

Dec 30, 2024

I remember when I weighed 300 pounds, I just hated my body.

I was just so disconnected with it – at war with it.

Being mad at it – blaming it for feeling tired, achy, not liking different parts of it.
