Grace & Grit Podcast

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). Have a listen and share with a woman who you feel could benefit from listening.

The month the theme on the Grace & Grit Podcast is Women’s Health Through the Ages. Last week I dished out some advice about how to raise our girls with Grace and Grit and, in this week’s episode, I share a few thoughts about how women in their 20’s & 30’s can build a life without sacrificing their health to do so. Even if you are well past your 30’s, this podcast is a great reminder to all women about the toll that too much stress can take on the human body and how we can help one another to navigate life more gracefully. Have a listen. Share your thoughts. Better yet… share this with a woman you love.

How do we raise girls to honor the needs of their body, mind, and soul? How do we raise girls to develop deep self-respect and self-love? How do we raise girls to build resilience against “diet culture”? We lead from the front, of course. Regardless of whether or not we have daughters. What would a girl learn from you about self-care, self-respect or even self-love if she observed you for a day? That is a powerful thing to consider if you are someone who recognizes that women are more than a body and deserve more than what the diet culture has offered them. In this episode of the Grace and Grit Podcast, I explore the challenges girls are facing in today’s culture and how we can show them, by example, what it means to direct yourself with Grace & Grit.

You can’t hate your way health, but oh how women try! You also can’t just “love yourself” when you have been practicing hating yourself for years or decades. I have long preached on the podcast that self-respect is the gateway to self-love, and a much easier place for a woman to start improving her relationship with herself. That being said… self-love IS a worthy pursuit, and not just “self-love” but unconditional self-love. Most women I have worked with over the years only grant themselves love if it is earned (if they grant themselves love at all), and in this episode, I do a deep dive into why developing unconditional love is paramount for deep health.

There is a more graceful & sustainable way to improving your health than what is being presented to you in the mainstream diet and fitness industry. Rather than looking outside of yourself for the answers, I believe that it is more about looking inside. Yeah…I know…not what you wanted to hear. Because… inner work… Isn’t a quick fix. It isn’t sexy. It isn’t something that can be captured in a photo on Instagram. Deep health, in my humble opinion, is only possible to the extent that you are willing to go in and get to know yourself – and the capacity you have to lead yourself. So this week we are revisiting the power of self-leadership and why it is the linchpin to improving your health story.

Consistently honoring the needs of your mind, body and soul is no small thing. It will require you to learn new skills, set boundaries, risk failure, and lean into discomfort often and much. And you will need a strong dose of courage to do those things. Cultivating a state of deep health requires that you practice being courageous and in this episode I dish out suggestions for how to do just that. Have a listen. Share your thoughts.

in·teg·ri·ty /inˈteɡrədē/ noun 1. the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles 2. the state of being whole and undivided Women come to work with me NOT because of the extra weight they are carrying or the lack of energy they are experiencing (although they often convince themselves that IS why they are seeking out my help). The real reason women come to work with me is that they want to get themselves out of what I call integrity pain. What’s integrity pain? The emotional and physical pain that is a direct result of your actions being misaligned with what it is you say you want for your life. Getting out of integrity pain requires deep honesty with yourself and a willingness to see yourself as a complete and whole person, not just a body. And that is a very tall order for many women who have spent years, decades and even a lifetime being indoctrinated by the diet industry. Curious to hear more?
