You're facing a difficult task in your life (from personal to professional to sport)... Do you realize the way you perceive that task - as either a challenge or a threat - has an impact not only on the outcome but also on your overall health?

If you're looking for ways to overcome a big task awaiting you or help your clients, friends or peers do the same, you will not want to miss this discussion.Info re earning your health & wellness coaching certification, annual Rocky Mountain Coaching Retreat & Symposium & more via https://www.catalystcoachinginstitute.com/ Best-in-class coaching for Employers, EAPs & wellness providers https://catalystcoaching360.com/ Tap into the home of the (freely available) Not Done Yet! articles on unlocking life's 2nd half here.

The concept of effective messaging appears straight-forward. A message is delivered, the recipient processes the message and then makes a decision. However, the reality is very different, as we learn in this intriguing interview with Dr. Tanya Berry from the University of Alberta. Our emotional response plays a role and our current level of stress can shift the way in which we process those messages, shifting from a reflective to a more automatic response.

Resilience seems to be THE word in articles, at conferences, schools and even sporting events. While it's popular, does anyone really understand what it means, why it impacts our lives and how to improve it in our lives and the lives of those around us? Dr Chris Bryan joins us on this week's episode. Dr Bryan focused his PhD research on psychological resilience in work and sport settings. But he doesn't just know the academic side of the topic. He was an elite level swimmer for a decade, missing the Olympics in a photo finish after contracting shingles!If you'd like to understand the practical aspects of resilience and the application to a wide range of settings and situations, this is an episode you won't want to miss!Info re earning your health & wellness coaching certification, annual Rocky Mountain Coaching Retreat & Symposium & more via https://www.catalystcoachinginstitute.com/ Best-in-class coaching for Employers, EAPs & wellness providers https://catalystcoaching360.com/ Tap into the home of the (freely available) Not Done Yet! articles on unlocking life's 2nd half here.

Mental health has - fortunately - become a top-of-mind issue in today's world. In the process, the roles of coaches and counselors often becomes blurred. It doesn't have to be that way, as both professions can play a critical role in positively impacting mental health across the spectrum. In this popular throwback episode, licensed counselor and nationally board certified health and wellness coach Suzanna Cooper takes a deeper dive into practice standards, the importance of following standards of practice, and the way in which coaches and counselors can work together for the betterment of the individual - and society as a whole.

Is age an excuse? Or a variable to be addressed? In this episode, we chat with Brad Barton, who at the age of 53, ran a 4:19 mile to set the world record. Keep in mind that 4:19 is an impressive mile time for a high school runner - and he did it in his 50's! While he does share some of his running tips and tactics, this discussion is not about running - it's about life - and how we can all make the most of it.If you've been using age (or anything else) as an excuse, here's you're opportunity to garner the motivation, courage and tools to draw a line in the sand and move forward toward your goals!Info re earning your health & wellness coaching certification, annual Rocky Mountain Coaching Retreat & Symposium & more via https://www.catalystcoachinginstitute.com/ Best-in-class coaching for Employers, EAPs & wellness providers https://catalystcoaching360.com/ Tap into the home of the (freely available) Not Done Yet! articles on unlocking life's 2nd half here.

There have been plenty of headlines over the years about the supposed dangers of endurance sports. Starting back in 1984 when Jim Fixx, the author of The Complete Book of Running died of a heart attack in his mid-50's, the suspicions about the supposed dangers of endurance sports have made for great headlines. What doesn't generally hit the news is the full story (e.g., that Fixx was a life-long smoker and his father died of a 2nd heart attack in his early 40's). But the fears are legitimate. Many of us have friends who are incredible athletes who have experienced heart issues, the dramatic headlines continue, and physicians, without exact answers to the question "what should I do," often defer to the (understandably) conservative answer of "stop."Fortunately, the research community is beginning to take a deeper dive into this issue. They are looking at whether these heart issues are anomalies or cause and effect. On this week's episode, we were extremely fortunate to have two of the researchers who recently completed a study looking at the heart risk in long-time, serious endurance athletes. Their findings may surprise you - and they're likely to add a critical piece to this puzzle around the athlete's heart risk Info re earning your health & wellness coaching certification, annual Rocky Mountain Coaching Retreat & Symposium & more via https://www.catalystcoachinginstitute.com/ Best-in-class coaching for Employers, EAPs & wellness providers https://catalystcoaching360.com/ Tap into the home of the (freely available) Not Done Yet! articles on unlocking life's 2nd half here.

Is there such a thing as "immune boosting" supplements? Should you eat the core of an apple? Does "bullet-proof" coffee really make you bullet proof? Are probiotics important? Is an all-beef diet a good idea? What is a "go to the park" prescription from a doctor? Is there any downside to caffeine? (hint - only in 2 circumstances).  These are just a few of the questions best-selling author and physician Dr. James Hamblin addresses in this week's episode!Info re earning your health & wellness coaching certification, annual Rocky Mountain Coaching Retreat & Symposium & more via https://www.catalystcoachinginstitute.com/ Best-in-class coaching for Employers, EAPs & wellness providers https://catalystcoaching360.com/ Tap into the home of the (freely available) Not Done Yet! articles on unlocking life's 2nd half here.
