Episode 266: The Intro & Outro of Your Day
It is downright impossible to create new possibilities for your life if you are living in reaction mode. After all, your reactions are a byproduct of what you have been practicing. So, if you want to generate new outcomes, you have to practice new things, which means getting very intentional about how you live your days. In this week’s episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast, I discuss one of the most important foundational elements of doing just that.

Episode 263: Emotional Freedom Technique w/ Sarah Louise Lilley
How we rumble with challenging emotions is a big deal. Why? Because emotions drive your behavior. So, I could not be more thrilled that Sarah Louise Lilley, who has been a long-time member of my Rumble & Rise Community, agreed to join me for a conversation about the power of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).

Episode 262: Thriving Through the Holi-DAZE

Episode 261: Dear Body, Thank You.
You know what’s amazing about gratitude? It is one of the few resources we are gifted an endless supply of. There is no limit to the amount of gratitude you get to experience and/or express. And yet… How easy it is to not feel or express it at all. In this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast, I remind us all of the health-promoting benefits of gratitude AND take you through a very simple exercise for extending gratitude for one of the things women so often seem to be at war with… the human body:) You can listen here: https://graceandgrit.com/podcast-261/ **** Looking for more support?

Episode 260: Healing the Nervous System & Why It Matters w/ Irene Lyon
It would be lovely and oh-so-simple if health was simply a byproduct of nutrition and exercise, but it’s not. Not by a long shot. It is a byproduct of learning how to better manage the things IN your life that act as stressors on your life. And… A dysregulated nervous system can be a massive stressor to the human body as my guest, Irene Lyon, so beautifully explains. I have been a longtime fan of Irene Lyon’s work around trauma and nervous system health because I have seen it improve the lives of not only clients, but I have experienced the power of nurturing the nervous system in my own life first hand. If you are a human being, you have a nervous system and it is worth checking out this episode to find out how to start caring for it the way you do other systems in your body:) You can listen here: https://graceandgrit.com/podcast-260/ Mentioned in this podcast: 21-day Nervous System Reset - https://ea188.isrefer.com/go/21days/CT/ **** Looking for more support?

Episode 259: Relationships & Your Health
Relationships are messy, unpredictable and wildly imperfect. And perhaps no time of year exposes that truth quite like the holidays. In this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, I remind listeners about what they can control within relationships this season (and every season) and what they can’t, with the hopes that it will help them travel through the holidays with less stress and a whole lot more peace and joy.

Episode 258: 5 Simple Measures to Boost Your Chemical Well-Being
When it comes to improving health, there is something that proves to be immensely helpful time and time again. AND, sadly, it is often overlooked. It is not a superfood, supplement or shake. It is not a radical diet. It is not an extreme exercise program. It is… are you ready?? Practicing basic life-promoting habits, consistently. So, what are the basic lifestyle habits that make such a big difference to your health? Well, that is precisely what we cover in this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast.

Episode 257: Healthy Self-Discipline
I have worked with clients who struggle to apply any degree of discipline when it comes to their own self-care and I have worked with clients who have applied discipline to the point of self-destruction. Neither promotes health. If you want to improve your health, you need a dash of self-discipline but how much you need really depends on what else is happening in your life. In this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, I will help you identify when you might need to dial up the self-discipline in your process and when you might need to dial it down.
