Because I am of the belief that there is something deeper down." (17:43) "Becoming conscious, becoming self-observational, watching ourselves throughout the day to identify then the areas where change would behoove us. For some of us, that is in our lifestyle, for me, I know it was." (23:49) "Without consciousness, change, doing things differently, does not become possible."

Kim wants you to feel good in your body, become okay with making mistakes and embrace your autonomy to do what you want when you want with your body. An amazing, impactful and necessary space, Kim is here today to address weight stigma, intuitive eating and movement and help you honor your body's needs instead of trying to fit into our society's obsession with wellness culture. We live in a society where thinner is better, and Kim is determined to bust those myths and stop the false truths that you are being fed about your body.

(13:43) "If I were just any old gym, and I didn't know what I knew about how destructive yo-yo dieting and compulsive exercising is to the body, it would be really great to just sort of blast everywhere I went. But with Autonomy what I think is really hard and really important is that every time I am marketing Autonomy I am having to clearly explain our values." (24:10) "There is still another way to be living that is infinitely more compassionate. How much more does your world open up and expand when you give yourself permission to eat and more and exist in a way that actually is really intuitive to the body?"

Today on Harder To Kill Radio I am sharing a major announcement and letting you in on a personal issue that I hope will help those of you who are also struggling with burnout. While it has become more and more common in our society for us to feel exhausted and burnt out, it is not normal, and this universal concept needs to be addressed. Struggling With Burnout If you feel as though you are struggling with a lack of creativity, motivation or mental health, burnout could be the culprit. By setting boundaries, focusing on self-care and being open with what you are dealing with, we can destigmatize and de-normalize burnout for the masses. A lot of us are struggling with burnout while pretending we have it all together. If you are wrestling with burning out because you are trying to do all of the things, this is the episode you need to listen too. How do you protect yourself from getting burnt out? Share your self-care strategies with us in the comments on the episode page. On Today's Episode The importance of setting boundaries when it comes to your mental health (11:50) Why entrepreneurs need to stop pretending they have it all together (14:30) Signs that you need to take your foot off the gas for a little bit (17:50) The necessity of self-care when it comes to treating burnout (18:45) Ways that you can practice challenging yourself to say no (20:30) Quotes "Although it is common, it is not normal to feel this way." (1:48) "Entrepreneurs, we need to stop fucking pretending that we have it all figured out and that we are not struggling with this stuff." (14:39) "These things are not revolutionary, but when we practice them we already set ourselves up for a lot of what goes into self-care. Because when we don't feel good in our body, it is really hard to make a change in these other areas. (23:35) "It's okay to not be okay, it is important to ask for help, we cannot do this alone."

Rachel Dash-Dougherty, better known as The Grounded Therapist, works with clients who struggle with disordered eating, perfectionism, and control when it comes to our food and our bodies. Today Rachel is here to address some of the myths and stigmas around mental health, help you understand where you are on the spectrum of how you relate to food and provide tips and guidelines to help you get a better foothold on life and your mental health. Gaining Awareness And Peace Whether you are working with a professional or trying to do this on your own, understanding how you interact with food and movement is the key to gaining awareness and peace. Instead of buying into diet culture, Rachel is here to help you work on your thoughts first, set boundaries and get a grip on your irrational thoughts. Seeking help and changing the way you relate to food, diet, and movement is a brave thing, and with help of counselors like Rachel, you can tackle disordered eating, assert boundaries and look at your language around food to let go of perfectionism and control. Instead of beating yourself up, Rachel wants to help you be kind to yourself and shake those hilarious irrational thoughts out of your head for good.

Take a minute to ask yourself, would you still be doing what you are doing right now even if it meant you do not get the handsome payoff, arrival or 'I've made it' moment that you've been hoping for? The key to finding happiness and contentment in your life right now is to be grateful for right now, even when things get difficult. Stop Putting False Promise On A Pedestal The promise of false arrival is something that everyone struggles with, and if you find yourself in the mindset of 'I will be happy when I achieve this thing', you need to take a look at your goals to figure out how to hold your process in tension with the outcome. Everything that we want to achieve has a cost, be it energetically, monetarily or relationally, and it is only by keeping the cost of those goals in mind that you can become okay with holding things in tension. By finding and expressing gratitude for what you have in the present, noticing and changing your language around what you are doing and stepping back and navigating your hopeful outcomes, you can stop putting the false promise of arrival on a pedestal. Who do you think would benefit from the questions asked in this episode? Tag them in the comments and share your story with us in the comments on the episode page! On Today's Episode Understanding the problem with setting goals and the cost of achieving them (14:00) Ways to achieve a healthy tension between the process and the outcome (15:30) How to stay grateful for what is going on in the present moment (18:30) What to do when you realize your process is not working for you (24:40) The importance of changing your language around what you are doing (26:20) Quotes "I think sometimes there is this idea that we will find that thing, that feeling, that state when we get that thing. And often this causes problems for a bunch of reasons." (13:32) "We can hold these things in tension so that it is not 'either this or either that', but how can we see the nuance." (16:11) "Here is the one thing I know: change is inevitable. Meaning, we might achieve the thing, we might arrive, we might have finally made it, how long is that going to last? I don't know. It might last forever, it likely may not." (18:55) "Can we hold the process in tension with the outcome? I think so, if we are doing it in a healthy way. And only we get to assess that, is it worth what it's costing us? And that's really really important." (25:44) "Ultimately, find things to feel content, grateful, happy, joyful about now, even when it is hard, even when things may not be going your way, there is always a lesson in there too."

Do you have clothes that you keep in the back of your closet, hoping one day you will be able to fit into them again? Wearing clothes that fit your here and now body, not the one you used to have or hope to have, is not only important for your own self-care but it can impact how you intuitively eat and your own self-worth. Are You Ready To Be Kinder To Yourself? It is really important to wear clothes that fit your here and now and that feels good for you despite the number that you see on the scale. Your body changes with you when you go through different phases throughout your life, and picking clothes that fit your body here and now is key to a positive relationship with food and yourself. When you force yourself to wear clothes that are too small you can restrict your breathing, increase your stress and anxiety levels and make yourself feel guilty for where you are now. Motivating yourself negatively is not sustainable and it is not kind to yourself, and it is time to get rid of those clothes so that you can start making long term progress. Are you ready to be kinder to yourself and get rid of those clothes that do not fit you anymore? Share how you have overcome your closet anxiety in the comments on the episode page.

(9:11) "I see so many people holding onto clothes and trying to fit into clothes that don't fit them or keeping the clothes around as 'motivation'." (13:37) "To feel everyday that we are forcing ourselves to put on clothes that don't fit because we spent a lot of money on them or we should have lost the weight by now or we shouldn't be this size and it will motivate us to change, my argument here is that that is not doing us any favors." (15:15) "This is not kindness, and we do not need to be mean to ourselves in order to get ourselves to make a change." (17:54) "You deserve to feel comfortable in your here and now body and the clothes that you are going to wear such that it is not causing you physical discomfort or mental discomfort."

Despite what you may have been told, intelligence does not come from how much you know or how many books you have read. True emotional intelligence is something that comes from a willingness to learn and the desire to look within ourselves, which is something Josh Trent is incredibly passionate about. The Power Of 6 Deep Breaths The host of Wellness Force Radio and dear friend, Josh has undergone a transformation since we last had him on the show and is diving into the courage it takes to rebrand and the incredible healing power of breathwork on this episode. Josh has realized that you can't force wellness and has become an advocate for the energetic and spiritual components of intelligence to find true happiness and inner healing. Breathwork is free and can take as little as 30 seconds to alter your mindset and help you find an answer to feeling better. Whether you attach to the spirituality side of things or just get the benefits of stress reduction, Josh believes that breathwork is the key to providing a safe space for your nervous system to begin to heal. Instead of living someone else's dream, Josh is here to inspire you to look within yourself through the three concepts of breathwork to live a sustainable life and find the answers and peace you have been searching for. Being honest with yourself and the people that you care about is what Josh is all about, and he is here to give you a glimmer of hope as you wade through the muck. How does breathwork play into your ability to handle stress and develop your own emotional intelligence? Share your strategies with us in the comments on the episode page. In This Episode The power of taking six deep breaths to cope with uncertainty (22:20) The difference between the emotional contagion and collective consciousness (30:15) How to get your body out of panic state and into a calm state through breathwork (39:05) Embracing your ability to break the karmic chain and give unconditional love (45:03) Progressive and tactical things you can do to use breath to relieve stress (47:10) Quotes "Technology isn't going to save us, it is not going to save the world. We can use it mindfully, we can help each other by using technology, but it became this gut-check moment where I was like, God I cannot speak about something that doesn't feel true anymore." (13:34) "If we are approaching a new threshold in career growth or a relationship and there is uncertainty there, it's our ability to go through the uncertainty without doing the coping strategy that we know somewhere deep down in our heart isn't good for us." (22:01) "When we go to altered states, things come up that we are not aware of. I had always been aware of the safety piece of my life, but that was a turning point." (35:49) "Really what it is is training your nervous system to be safe and to manage stress better through you cycling your own breathing." (38:27) "Whatever we believe, we get to check in on how it makes us feel. And if this is all just a big video game, then let's just believe things that make us feel good."
