Grace & Grit Podcast

Discomfort along the path to improving your life isn’t a probability, it is an inevitability. Every single day you get to decide if you want to stay in the discomfort of the way things are, or lean into the discomfort of improving your situation. Either way, you will have to face discomfort on some level. The good news is that when you lean into the discomfort that promotes growth in your life, there is tremendous strength on the other side of that. This episode of the Grace & Grit podcast introduces tips and strategies for befriending discomfort, so you can do the work that will move your life to higher ground.

I just adore this conversation that I had with Ali Shapiro about the process of healing, redefining health, and making a truce with food. Ali is a very bright light helping to lead women out of diet dogma and back to themselves. In this episode, Ali and I discuss: Option C, which is giving yourself permission to get to know yourself and how you relate to the world around you. Self-criticism vs Self-awareness The cost of relying on the outside world to heal you. What it means to have agency with your body … and so much more!

Unhappy and unfulfilling relationships take a toll on our physical and psychological health. My guest on this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, Sunny Joy McMillan, strongly believes unsticking these relationships (through improvement or dissolution) is vital to our mental, emotional, spiritual AND physical well-being. And living in alignment with our truth has very positive effects on the body. Sunny shares her journey of what she calls “audacious self-care”, which for her looked like ending her high conflict marriage and walking away from her Instagram perfect life, so she could rediscover herself and step into the life she feels she was truly meant to live. In this episode, Sunny and I also discuss: the necessity of doing your own inner work to create healthy relationships the cost of trying to fit into other people’s idea of who we should be the power of beliefs and thoughts how compassion is linked to motivation how to befriend resistance the wisdom of the body and why we should listen to it Click here to LISTEN NOW! >>Are you loving the Grace & Grit Podcast? Help us keep the mic on!

In this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast, I introduce this month’s theme, Relationship and why I think up-leveling our relationships is the linchpin to deep health. This is a topic I have wanted to dive into for a really long time and…well… the time has come! Now, most people when they hear the word relationship, they think of our relationship with others. And while that is certainly 1 form… there are so many others. Relationship with self. Relationship with food. Relationship with exercise. Relationship with discipline. Relationship with success. Relationship with failure. Relationship with time. Relationship is really how we experience life and if we want to improve any aspect of our life, we have to improve our relationships.

If you are like most of the women I work with, you probably feel like summer can be a really hard time to stay on track with the behaviors that bring you closer to your health goals, like eating nourishing foods and staying away from the foods that deplete you.

In this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, I talk about the one thing to ADD to your diet that can go a really long way in helping you to make better choices, stay satiated and keep you feeling great through the summer months: veggies!

I met today’s guest on the Grace & Grit podcast, Diann Wingert, at a conference I was invited to speak at called Forty Thrive.
