Grace & Grit Podcast

Are you leading the dance with food or is food leading you? We are in the thick of the holiday season where opportunities to eat and drink are around every corner. And, if you don't stay mindful of why you are consuming these things, you can roll into the new year with a lot of undesirable consequences. In this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast, I present listeners with powerful questions to ask themselves to ensure they maintain a healthy relationship with food.

There is often a disconnect between what we believe the holidays are about and how we actually go about living them. We say we believe the holidays are all about love, peace, gratitude, and connection, but we don't make time for those things. Or, we are only partially present. Instead, we live the holidays stressed, fatigued, overwhelmed, resentful, and frustrated. Worse yet, we use the rational that we are doing it for others. But here's a hard truth… if mama ain't happy, no one is happy! If you truly want to enjoy the holiday season this year and roll into the New Year feeling energized and ready, check out this episode of the Grace and Grit Podcast.

Moving your life to higher ground in any area is going to require that you lean into some periods of intense pushing, but if you want to enjoy the process and maintain your health along the way, you will also need to learn how to honor a big push with a pause:) Health, I have found, is really an exercise in knowing when to push and when to pause. If you are a woman who is chronically running her life in a state of hyperdrive, check out this episode of the Grace and Grit podcast.

A lot of people say they are committed to improving their health, but their behavior says otherwise. Their behavior shows they will commit as long as it doesn't get uncomfortable. But commitment is uncomfortable because it implies that you will stay the course when the waters get rough (and they always get rough at some point). Health is a practice of recommitting to yourself day after day after day. If you struggle to do that, you will want to check out this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast.

Our culture loves to emphasize the downside of stress. While I agree that extended periods of unmanaged stress can be dangerous to both our physical and mental health, it is important to remember that stress has an upside. Google defines stress as: a state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or very demanding circumstances. So, moving your life to higher ground is going to require that you lean into a bit of stress. Muscles grow when we put them under stress, and…well…so do our lives. How you think about stress has everything to do with whether it will fortify you or deplete you. And, in this episode, I do a deep dive into how you can take more responsibility for the psychological stress you experience along your journey.

Goals can be awesome mile markers along the path to change, but goals are not enough to create and sustain change. If you want to create change in your life that is long-lasting, you have to be willing to change your beliefs about what is possible for your life, your habits and ultimately, your identity. In this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, I challenge listeners on how they think of goal setting and how to use goals in a way that helps foster meaningful and sustainable results, not just temporary ones.

I meet women every day who are afraid to make the wrong decision and so, they choose to live life in a space of indecision. The thing about indecision, though, is that it is an exhausting place to live. It is like treading water… you end up expending a ton of energy but you move NOWHERE. In this episode of the Grace and Grit Podcast, I talk about why decision making is so hard for many women, why it is so important to make decisions and how to make decisions more easily so you can stop treading water and start living life more fully.

All month long on the Grace and Grit podcast the theme has been "Women's Health Through the Ages". And in the past 3 episodes, I have dished out my best advice for women who want to honor their health at various different ages and stages. In this final episode of this series, I have invited my incredible friend, Amanda Thebe, to the show to have a real conversation about the challenges women face in the menopausal years and how to move through those years with a bit more ease and grace. Amanda is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the topic of menopause and she is doing incredible work in the world to help women demystify perimenopause and menopause. Have a listen and share with a woman who you know that might benefit from hearing the message.

I call the years between 40 and 60 the renovation years. Why? Because of shifting hormones combined with balancing more responsibilities than ever, we are really presented with an opportunity at this age and stage of life to take stock of our total stress load and make some hard choices in how to better manage that. In this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast, I share the advice that I believe women in our age bracket need to hear (far beyond cookie-cutter diet and exercise recommendations).
