You know that amazing feeling when everything just seems to flow in your life? Opportunities keep presenting themselves, you consistently are in the right place at the right time, you're connecting with people, and things just feel easy. 

And then you know when you're feeling completely out of alignment? You feel stuck, nothing seems to be going right, everything is a slog, it feels like you can't catch a break, and you feel like you're constantly behind the eight ball. 

What if I told you there is a scientifically back...

Last week, I posted a pretty serious video calling out the men who were doing the virtual version of cat-calling on my TikTok channel (see the video above).

Now if you follow me on social media, you know this video was a far cry from my usual bubbly, happy-go-lucky content. But I knew in my heart it was necessary.

And that knowing was validated when one week later I had almost 40,000 views and over 500 comments from women sharing their stories of abusive men, fear, and bullies.

Thanking me for standing up, thanking me ...

If I asked you, "What's the number one thing sabotaging people's health goals?" what would you say? Eating too much sugar? Not working out? Binging on the weekends?

Want to know my answer? It's our minds. It's the stories we repeat in our heads daily. It's how hard we are on ourselves. It's our shame.

It's the excuses we give ourselves that keep us in our comfort zone, away from the action, away from the possibility of failure. 

It's the beliefs we hold about who we are and what we're capable of. It's our thought patte...

If you've been following the Life Unleashed Podcast for any length of time, you know we NERD OUT on personal development.

But what if you just aren't the self-help reading, journal writing, self therapizing type? Does that mean you can't create meaningful transformation in your life?

Absolutely not. And to prove it to you, I brought on a special guest this week, my friend Doug Fore. He is not a nutrition expert, he is not a personal trainer, he is not a coach of any kind, a book author or a public speaker. In fact, in hi...

We all know habits are the keys to our success in any endeavor we have.

Our ability to achieve our dreams virtually never comes down to one big thing we did. It's what we do, how we think, and how we respond to challenges every single day, without even thinking, that truly determines our fate. 

So here is my 6-to-Stick Method (as seen in my Life Unleashed Program) for creating healthy habits that will stand the test of time, motivation, and busy-ness. 

1. Make it easy.

Whenever you choose the habit that you want t...

1. Consistently gather information until you can't ignore the facts.

2. Figure out YOUR why. Remember, an object at rest stays at rest. And an object in motion stays in motion. You need your goals to be acted on by an outside force; that's what your why is. But it has to be strong enough and powerful enough to get you moving. 

3. Quit 'playing' with the idea. Draw a line in the sand and make the DECISION to change. And do whatever you have to to make that commitment real. Tell it to all your friends, post it on social m...

Summary

• The reason so many people fail to meet their resolutions isn't because they don't have the skills, or the willpower, or the motivation. It's that they approach each year the same way and expect a different result. They set the same goals with the only true plan being that they're just going to be different in the new year. Because... new year. 
• If you don't take a moment of pause to reflect on the things that worked, the things that didn't work, what needs to change, and what needs to be magnified, you're missing a hug

Last year at this time I was attempting to launch Fit for Life Academy, an online program I spent 6 months planning for and building out. The launch bombed and I never touched it again.

• Lesson: Stop thinking that just because something doesn't work the first time, it means it's wrong or wasn't meant to be. Persistence, persistence, persistence is key.

I hired my first business coach who helped me get my fitness business largely online (yey), but at the cost of me feeling aligned with my brand. I never wanted to prom...

• In a finite game, you're playing for the purpose of winning, the rules are well defined, and players are squarely defined as winner or loser. 
  
  • The problems with playing the finite game in life are knowing what to do once you've 'won', committing to an all-or-nothing mentality, and defining yourself as 'winner' or 'loser.'
  • 3 ways you might be playing the finite game:
    • Following a diet with an end date... remember, if your diet has an end date so do your results.
    • In fights with your significant other, your aim is ...

  • According to a study I came across in the NY Times, when a close friend becomes obese, you are 171% more likely to become obese yourself. 
  • The people around you influence what you view as acceptable, they influence your habits, and because of mirror neurons, we tend to mimic their beliefs and behaviors.
