Episode 196: How to bridge the gap between knowing and doing.

We are all continually striving to improve our health. And the longer I work with women, the more I realize the last thing most of us need is more information about diet and exercise. You know what you need to do. You even want to do it. Most days. What you truly need is to learn how to apply the knowledge you already have – with consistency. In this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast, I talk about what consistency really means to us and the four practices that will help you to master it. Let’s end the madness of extreme diets and exercise programming and learn how to build a sustainable healthy-lifestyle practice.

Episode 195: Unraveling the Code to Confidence

As someone who has worked in the women’s wellness space for more than 20 years now, I have come to see improving health as an exercise in self-leadership. Because to improve your health, be it mental, physical or spiritual, you must willing to better understand yourself and have trust in yourself and your abilities. Self-confidence, I believe, is an invaluable part of self-leadership, because it is the trust we have in ourselves to follow through with the things that we say are important to us. In this episode of the Grace and Grit Podcast, I share insights from my own experience of helping women elevate their self-confidence and from my recent read of The Confidence Code: The Science & Art of Self-Assurance – What Women Should Know by Katty Kay and Claire Shipman. I hope you find it helpful:) You can listen here: https://graceandgrit.com/podcast-195/ And, sign up for your FREE Masterclass here: https://graceandgrit.com/makeitstick   ****   Are you loving the Grace and Grit Podcast?  Help us keep the mic on!

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.

Episode 190: Trimming the Holiday Fat

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.

Episode 189: Knowing When to Push and When to Pause

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.

Episode 188: The Practice of Recommitment

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.

Episode 187: Changing Your Mindset About Stress

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.
