We are about 15 weeks in since the eruption of the coronavirus and I know that so many of my ladies in The Transform Society are feeling all the feels, and they’re using food to push down and push away their emotions. Emotional hunger is something you’re probably familiar with if you’ve been on the diet roller coaster, and today, I’ll be explaining how to identify it and what you can do to overcome it.

For most of us, we buffer when we don’t want to feel negative emotions. We use food and alcohol and a whole array of substances to feel temporarily better. Emotional eating happens without intention, and it’s only prolonging whatever negative emotion you might be feeling in that moment, with an extra layer of guilt and shame afterward, and love, you just don’t need that.

Tune in this week as I show you how to identify the difference between emotional hunger and physical hunger, and I’ll be sharing a couple of tricks that I teach in The Transform Society that you can use in your own ...

This year has felt extremely heavy for many of us, and I know my ladies have been struggling. I’ve had all the emotions, from frustration and confusion to guilt, shame, and anger. While we might wish to start this year over, every painful event gives us an opportunity to look inward, and this is where self-care comes in.

Self-care has become somewhat of a buzzword, and you might immediately think of a massage, a bath, or a manicure and pedicure. But loves, self-care is so much more than external things that bring you just a moment of happiness. It comes from the inside and it’s a practice we have to implement into our daily lives.

Tune in this week to discover what a self-care practice really entails and why it’s so crucial to make one for yourself. We cannot take care of others or create change in the world if we are exhausted and depleted. Not taking care of your mental and physical health leads to overeating and buffering with food, and this stops you from showing up as your be...

I remember when overeating at night was just routine for me and it was one of the hardest things to stop. After a long day at work, I would immediately start planning what I was going to eat when I got home. I was tired, my defenses were down, and I was just looking to food to give me pleasure and joy at the end of the day.

Overeating at night becomes a habit for many of us, and it happens almost unconsciously. Before you know it, you’ve eaten the ice cream, the chips, and the pizza. Or you’ve done it because you’ve told yourself you’ve been good all day and deserve a treat. But loves, food is a false pleasure. It’s time to come up with a different strategy, and I’m sharing a few with you today that I teach my clients.

Join me this week as I share the top five reasons I believe we overeat and some key strategies that you can try to break the cycle. Creating new habits at night is key, and you just have to start by recognizing that you’re overeating to do something different. Loves...

I was recently in the process of shipping out some BFLY swag and brochures to my clients, and it’s a process that I often dread. I think about how it takes too long, and so I don’t want to do it. This reminded me of how my clients have the same thoughts about weight loss when they come to me, and it’s one that keeps them on the diet roller coaster.

Listen in this week as I show you how to love the process of weight loss now, and why learning to love it is what will get you started in transforming your weight. This not only makes you feel better about the journey, but you’ll find that you have more love and curiosity for yourself along the way too.

And here are this week’s transformational questions:

1. What could you love about the process of losing weight?
2. Why is it important to love the process?

What You’ll Discover:

• Why dreading or hating the process of losing weight is like failing before you even start.
• How to learn to love the process of losing weight. 
• How you begi

Do you ever have moments where you’re maybe going out to a restaurant, you’ve planned what you’re going to eat, and then the breadbasket comes out and the urge to eat off-plan is so strong that you find yourself negotiating with your brain? The simple thought, “But I want it,” is one that has kept many of us on the diet roller coaster and it makes us forget what we want long-term and choose what we want at that moment instead.

This is something we do with food over and over again, and it becomes harder to move past the urge to eat something off-plan when we reinforce the behavior by giving our brains the reward of what it wants. We say, “But I want it,” or some version of that, and we give in to our urges, which keeps you in the habit of overeating and indulging.

Join me on the podcast today as I show you how to disrupt the hostage negotiations you have with your own brain in these moments, and how you get to choose to keep your commitments to yourself and be in integrity instead....

Today, we are talking about the number. I spent most of my life obsessing over the number on the scale that I thought would make me good and happy, and I know that so many of my ladies have the same experience. I thought that if I could just weigh 120 pounds, then everything would be good. I could then achieve all my goals and dreams if and when I weighed this number.

One thing that I teach all my ladies to do is to get on the scale and look at the number. We’re terrified of the scale because we think it makes us good or bad, but it actually doesn’t mean anything. It’s just a number. You are good enough and 100% lovable, no matter what the number on the scale says.

Listen in this week as I show you why there is so much power in learning that the number on the scale doesn’t matter and that it doesn’t define you as a person. I’m also sharing what your natural weight means, why this is something I tell my clients to aim for, and how learning to love the process is what will help you ...

I remember a time when I wanted the “perfect” body, and to be honest, perfection in everything I did, everywhere in my life. We are all taught this idea of perfection as kids when we’re taught to strive to be the best student or the best child, so it’s no surprise if this pattern of perfectionism exists for you in your life.

You’ve probably experienced starting a diet, telling yourself you were going to do it perfectly, and then you slip. One day turns into a week, and you find yourself beating yourself up for not being perfect and quitting. Loves, perfectionism is a lie we tell ourselves, and it only leads to self-sabotage when we inevitably fall off track, and it’s what will definitely keep you on the diet rollercoaster.

Join me on the podcast this week as I show you why the lie we tell ourselves about being perfect keeps us stuck in any area of our lives. Learning that failure and mistakes are part of anything you do will help you take more courageous actions and get you on you...

I’m sure you, like me, have tried a whole bunch of quick-fix diets and different food plans with hopes that it was going to be the missing piece to your weight loss journey. We all know they don’t work, that they keep us stuck on the diet rollercoaster and in the cycle dieting and binging, which I am so familiar with.

I remember when I was losing weight and I would stumble, my brain would say, “See, I told you, Shannan, you can’t lose weight.” What you think and what you say to yourself matters so much, and when you decide to stop dieting on purpose like I did, it’s time to take a closer look and be intentional about what you’re telling yourself about your weight loss journey.

Join me on the podcast this week as I show you why telling yourself that you can’t lose weight leads to just that: not losing weight. Working on your mindset is so important, and it’s really the secret to your weight loss. It’s not some magic pill or secret food plan that you’re missing, and I’m sharing what...

I think it’s fair to say that life isn’t going quite the way anyone had planned at the start of this year. This happens in so many areas of our life on a much smaller scale, where things get messy. But it’s how we handle the mess that determines our success.

When things go wrong, there is always a part of us that wants to think, “Things should be different.” This thought sounds harmless, but it could be keeping you stuck without you even realizing it. So, I want to talk today about why accepting the mess that comes your way will get you moving again.

Tune in this week as I share why I have decided to accept the mess in whatever form it comes, and how believing things should be different keeps us stuck. I have seen amazing results since I started accepting the mess, and this might just be the missing piece of your weight loss puzzle.

And here are this week’s transformational questions:

1. What thoughts or beliefs do you have around something being different than how it is? 
2. How i

For me, Easter has always been a time of big family gatherings and getting together with loved ones. 2020  has changed this tradition for my family, and I found myself in a cycle of constant worry, fearful about the future and what might be different when all of this is over. I know that some of you ladies might also be experiencing this, and today, I’m showing you how this emotion of worry isn’t serving you.

I have felt extremely heavy and exhausted this week, and through doing my daily reflection work, I’ve found that I’ve been stuck in a state of worry. Worrying about my clients, my family, about how things were changing, and about how I don’t have any control over any of it. Staying stuck here isn’t helping you take the actions you need to get the results you want, but there is a way out.

Listen in today as I show you what you do have control over, and why staying in worry is keeping you stuck. We are never promised anything other than the moment we have right now, and letting...
