Karen Broda is a fitness lifestyle coach with her company Strong & Smart. She helps the overachieving, professional woman get fit and strong so she can give it 110% every day. On today's episode we'll talk about... Why we lose motivation and get discouraged Why we need to quit looking at exercise like a 'diet' or chore but rather something we truly enjoy and want to include in our life Why we need to set achievable goals and steps for ourselves rather than try and go from step A to Z. Why 'getting fit’ is journey not a destination, enjoy the process because you will never ‘arrive’ *Like the podcast?  Don't forget to subscribe and leave us a 5 star review!

Self care is one of those things that we put on the back burner when things get hectic and we're busy.  My favorite quote from Sarah Perez during this interview was, "Self care is loving yourself."  On this episode, I chat with Sarah Perez  about What self care is and what it's NOT. How to make time for daily self care Why we need to set boundaries and make self care a priority Self care is NOT dieting and counting calories, but nutrition is part of the equation About Sarah Sarah Perez is a Wellness Consultant for high-achieving, busy moms who have put their health and self-care on the back burner. She helps relieve these women with lifestyle changes that work for their personal situation, and keeps them accountable to reach personal health goals. From a young age, Sarah has always loved food. Making tasty food healthier was a hobby. She had to give up dairy, due to stomach issues at a young age, and modification was something that came naturally to her. When she realized how many foods she was giving up later in live, she had to think it was more than just food. Mom of 2 two small children, wife, full-time engineer and building a business on the side, Sarah was ignoring the fact that she was running herself to the ground. When she finally went to the doctors for herself, she was diagnosed with multiple autoimmune markers. Now that she is on the path to recovery, she is on a mission to uplift as many moms as she can to stop the burnout  so they can live the example for their children.

I love this topic about “rebelling against diet culture.”  Diet culture is everywhere, especially when we ring in the New Year.  Every other commercial on TV is telling about the latest and greatest New Year's diet, our social media feed is filled with before and after pictures and people promising a "quick fix."  It's easy to get caught up in diet culture and hard to break free from.   On this week's episode, I'm chatting with fellow anti-diet health coach, Jenny Eden Berk about how to rebel against diet culture. On this week's episode we'll chat about: *Why diets aren't the way to improving your health and wellness. *Why we should rebel against diet culture *Why diets are harmful *About Jenny's book, The Body Image Blueprint.

Today I'm chatting with Molly Courtney all about the Stages of Change. Changing our habits can be difficult-- just ask anyone who has made a New Year's Resolution and is still working on that change. Lasting behavior changes take time, energy, awareness, focus and commitment. To affect positive change, it is important to understand that change is dynamic and and it happens in stages and we rarely get it right the first time. Molly is a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, Personal Trainer, and Laughter Yoga Leader. She is passionate about helping people find fun, and enjoyment on their health journey. After graduating from Oregon State with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science, she began working in fitness and quickly discovered that exercise programs and meal plans weren’t enough to help people achieve lasting change. Molly realized there were two essential ingredients missing; body respect and fun. She found her coaching genius when she welcomed mindfulness, imagination, and curiosity into her approach. She is honored to be welcomed into vulnerable areas of her client’s lives to help them find lasting health habits using a her LOVE Method. Do you feel chained to the dieting roller-coaster?

On this episode, I had a such an awesome conversation with Mary Tate about how she helps both children and adults who suffer from ADHD, OCD, and ODD by helping them change their nutrition. I think so many times doctors push medications when there’s a natural way. Mary lives in Parker, CO with her husband and three children. Her passion for the special needs community began when her son was diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder in 1999 and then ADHD in 3rd grade. In order to serve her son, she became a Certified Health Coach and now specializes in walking alongside families of children with special needs in her business Tree of Life Health Coaching. She loves to serve in a local respite care program to allow parents to unplug, take a break and reconnect. It’s such a blessing to be able to serve these families.

The thought of quitting dieting is really scary for a lot of us. After all, many of us have been doing some sort of diet to lose weight, or keep our weight in check for most of our lives. It makes sense then, that we can find a number of reasons why we believe we can’t, or shouldn’t, be quitting dieting, so we can stay safe and comfortable inside our diet bubbles. But a lot of these reasons we come up with are actually myths. And believing these myths to be facts might be harming rather than helping. They could be holding you back from food freedom and body peace. I believe the first step we need to stake in order to experience food freedom and peace is to break up with dieting. So, let’s bust some of those myths, so you can let go of some of those roadblocks holding you back.   Do you feel chained to the dieting roller-coaster?
