A few days ago I was on a call with a new client who was facing a predicament almost everyone faces when trying to make changes to their nutrition and fitness habits.

She delayed scheduling her second call with me because she was embarrassed that even though we laid out a plan for her, she hadn’t followed through with it.

I explained how unbelievably normal this was. So many think if a coach just tells them what to do they’ll be able to go out and immediately crush it. But the truth is no one ever comes to me just needing a plan to follow...

I don’t know about you but when it comes to making changes in my life, I tend to focus a lot on the doing part of the equation. 

Do you ever feel out of control around certain foods?

 When I say “mindful eating” or “listen to your body” what’s your instinctual response?

I know for a lot of people their knee jerk reaction is, “My body wants cheetos and ice cream at every meal, so I don’t think you want me listening to my body.”

This is incredibly common and it points to an unfortunate theme: we do not trust our bodies. And we do not trust ourselves.

And where does that leave us but to rely on a diet telling us exactly what we are and are not allowed to eat?

But here’s the irony: dieting is not only one of the stronges...

Do you ever want someone to just freaking tell you what to eat? What's good? What's bad? What's allowed? What's not?

I get it. That is the simplicity and clarity we need when we're new to any skill.

If we're just starting piano, we can't start with chords and using both hands at once. We have to learn note by note, pluck it out finger by finger.

But eventually, if we want to get good, we have to progress. We have to learn the more advanced skills, navigate the greater complexities, until eventually we become the ex...

Tell me if you've experienced this situation before...

You're scrolling social media, and one of your favorite health coaches comes on with a really inspiring post and you think to yourself, That's it... I'm doing it. 

You have a conversation with her, you hand her your credit card, and then you go to start the program and suddenly all that motivation you had when you saw that post disappears. 

You don't really want to follow her suggestions, you find yourself dodging her calls, you rebel against the very idea of cha...

I've said it before and I'll say it a thousand more times...

In the game of health and weight loss, your mindset will fuck you up more than a cheat day ever will. 

How you speak to yourself, how you perceive setbacks, how you think about obstacles, and what you focus on is the difference between you taking another step forward or quitting.

It's the difference between you staying consistent or swinging from one extreme to another.

It's the difference between you feeling grateful when you finally hit that finish line ...

Does this sound like you, "I know what to eat, I know how to exercise, I just can't stick with it!"

If so, you are not alone. Consistency is probably the single biggest thing women are struggling with when they come to me, and it is the single most important thing if you want results.

But when talking about consistency, almost every woman I know says, "I just can't stay motivated long enough." 

And I'm here to tell you, motivation has nothing - and I do mean nothing -  to do with it. 

Which is why today I'm sharing ...

Have you ever gone full bore into a new diet and you’re so excited about how your body is responding that you don’t think about what will come after the 30, 60, or 90 day plan?

Then that fateful day arrives and all at once you’re filled with so much pride for completing it, yet so much dread for not knowing what the fuck to do next.

This is hard even if you’ve been following a relatively balanced diet plan, but it’s amplified 10000x more when you’ve been severely restricting and you know there’s no way you can keep that...

What is kaizen??

It's a Japanese term for 'continuous improvement' and it relies on small, incremental, consistent changes that lead to potentially massive improvement and transformation.

Both research and my own experience shows, this is by far the MOST effective strategy for long term weight loss. 

How can it help with weight loss?

1. When you set small, manageable goals, you experience the dopamine rush of quick wins. Leading to greater motivation to keep going instead of the discouragement that comes from making m
