Episode 229: The real work of deep health.
Is it just me or does it feel like "weight loss" is the loudest conversation in the women's health arena? It drives me nuts! Why? For a few reasons: A woman's weight doesn't really tell you a damn thing about the state of her health. Health is so much more than how much weight a woman carries on her body. Even if excess weight on a woman's body is causing health challenges, the answer is not as simple as weight loss. In this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, I share two topics that really define the work that I do in the world as a health coach: deep work and deep health. If you are ready to explore women's health beyond the "weight loss" conversation, do not miss this episode.

Episode 227: The Stress Habit
A lot of women I consult with, who are frustrated with their state of health, often say to me that they don't feel all that stressed. Which if you really think about it, isn't all that surprising considering we have normalized living in a constant state of stress. In this episode we explore what it means to be in a healthy relationship with stress.

Episode 226: 3 Steps to Infuse Your Life With More Life
I don't know about you but, I don't just want to live my life, I want to rock my life. And to do that I need to stay honest with myself about when I am in need of recovery, restoration and revitalization. But aren't those the same things? You might be wondering:) No. The wellness industry tends to focus on recovery, which is oh-so-important, but it also isn't enough to live your best life (with a strong dose of enthusiasm). Tune into this episode if you are someone who wants to shape your life into the most vibrant experience.

Episode 225: To Grit or to Quit
Psychologist Angela Duckworth defines Grit as "perseverance and passion for long-term goals". I am a big fan of the quality, which is why it is a part of my business name. That being said, letting go of things that no longer serve you, is ALSO a very necessary part of self-development that we don't talk enough about. In this episode, I share some of my thoughts about knowing when to apply grit to your journey and knowing when to quit certain things along your journey. I hope it helps you practice more grace AND grit.

Episode 224: The Secret to Sustaining Behavior Change
If you want to reclaim your health and happiness in 2021, you must learn how to coach yourself to show up in all the ways that will allow you to do just that. If you don't… You will always have to rely on someone else to "tell you what to do". You will get distracted. You will suffer unnecessarily when challenges and obstacles arise. In this episode, I share with you how I coached myself through the holidays and the New Year as I recovered from Covid and dealt with some very big stressors in my life.

Episode 220: Fat Loss Basics, Part 2: The Foundation Matters
When it comes to fat loss, your hormonal health matters… a lot! Your hormones are the government of your body, so when they are out of alignment, messages aren't communicated correctly, things get a little (or VERY) confused and a lot of metabolic dysfunction ensues: Your gut health gets disrupted. Your mental health takes a hit. Your organ's ability to function at full capacity declines. Your muscle health suffers. … just to name a few things. And all of this chaos, in turn, contributes to even more hormonal dysfunction and round and round it goes making fat loss feel impossible. So the question is:How do you heal and fortify your hormonal landscape?
