Episode 237: The Value of Approaching Health As a Generalist
There are a lot of things that contribute to the "health" of a human. And, yet, we are often sold measures for improving our health that isolate parts of our humanness. If you want to lose weight, focus on physical health. If you have depression or anxiety, focus on mental health. If you are struggling in your relationships, focus on that. But can you achieve a deep state of health by separating the dimensions of health in this way? I would argue no. Treating 1 dimension of health in isolation is like strengthening 1 body part to try and improve the conditioning of the entire body. When aspiring to improve your health, I am a huge proponent of approaching the work as a generalist rather than as a specialist. Curious to hear more. Check out this episode.

Episode 236: The Dynamic Nature of Health
You are a dynamic thing, constantly evolving and forever changing. Which means the state of your health is dynamic too. Wellness culture treats health as a binary thing. You either have it or you don't. But there is a wide space in between worth considering. In this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast, I explore what health looks like in the face of dis-ease, illness, and injury.

Episode 234: 6 Thoughts Preventing You From Making Progress
Health does not grow in negligent, hostile or toxic places, which the mind can certainly become without proper attention and direction. If you aren't exerting consistent daily effort to keep your mindset in a place that promotes grace, resilience, and perseverance any goals you achieve will be very short-lived. Managing the mind is single-handedly the most powerful thing a woman could do to improve her health AND it is the most lacking element in most health and wellness programs. In this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, I share with you six of the most common thoughts that prevent women from reaching the level of health she truly craves.

Episode 232: The Path to Confidence
My clients and students all say they have different reasons for working with me: they want to get stronger, they want to shed fat, they want to be able to keep up with their kids or grandkids etc. But really… They all want the same thing, more confidence. Confidence that they will keep the promises they make to themselves. Confidence to move through the world in a way that feels honest and true to them. Confidence to take on the things that have been on their heart for years Confidence to trust their own knowing and make decisions for themselves. Confidence is the REAL byproduct of the skills and strategies I teach women and, in this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, I am going to teach you the pathway for developing more of it too. Have a listen! And please share it with a woman who could benefit from the message. You can listen here: https://graceandgrit.com/podcast-232 **** Looking for more support?

Episode 231: Community Matters
Several years ago I created a FREE five day program called #five2thrive that women are still downloading and reaping value from today. That video series introduces the 5 key elements that I think are paramount to improving health: sleep, hydration, nutrition, movement, and mindset. But there is one other element, I wish I had added to that list. Community. Ladies, we are communal creatures. We aren't meant to do hard things alone. So, this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast is to remind you about the incredible power of community and connection along the path to change.

I have been teaching women how to show up for themselves with more consistency and ease for the bulk of my career.

Learning to be consistent does not mean your process will be linear or your efforts will be perfect. What is consistency and more importantly how do you develop it?
