Getting out of debt changed my life. I wasn't always good with my money. I didn't make much and I spent more than I took home. Getting out of debt didn't happen quickly and it wouldn't have happened at all if I continued to make excuses and prioritize pleasure over happiness. Last week on Instagram, I asked you guys to vote on which topic you'd rather hear about today: fasting or getting out of debt. Those were the two topics about which I got the most questions and "debt" won by a landslide! Thanks so much to everyone who voted and submitted questions! In today's episode, I'm going to share my personal journey of getting out of debt and answer YOUR questions on all topics money! https://primalpotential.com/521 Resources: Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey DaveRamsey.com Episode 019: What Getting Out of Debt Taught Me About Weight Loss Episode 116: Healthy Eating On A Budget Check out Thrive Market and save big on eating well!

Recently, one of my summer clients shared a bit of her transformation with me - she's lost weight, improved her mood, eliminated her cravings and overcome a sugar addiction. I asked if she'd be willing to share some of the steps she took and she's sharing her journey with us today on the podcast! We talk about how to create change without willpower and keep success simple - really, really simple. One of the ideas we discuss on the show that I think you're really going to connection with is: You don't know how bad you feel until you start making yourself feel better. You don't know how much better you can feel until you stop making yourself feel so bad. https://primalpotential.com/520/ Looking to register for the Fall 12 Weeks to Transformation?

"To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail." ~ Charlie Munger For most of my life, my only approach to fat loss was more restriction and more deprivation. I was so caught up in the misery of the problem that I wasn't being strategic in my approach. I returned to a strategy, over and over again, that didn't work for me. In today's episode we're going to talk about the common strategies people repeat that don't work as well as alternatives that do work. The goal of today's episode is to help you recognize where you have great intentions but terrible results so you can adjust your approach to one that is both sustainable and effective. https://primalpotential.com/518/ While you're here...

Your body fat is not inert. It is actually an active, endocrine organ that produces and secretes hormones and inflammatory cytokines. This is one of many reasons that an "eat less, exercise more" approach to fat loss is often ineffective and insufficient. In today's episode we're talking about an approach to health and fat loss that will not only make you feel better, but will improve your health and your body's ability to release and burn stored fat! https://primalpotential.com/517/ Resources: Register for the Fall 2018 12 Weeks to Transformation!

September is a natural time to check in with yourself and course-correct as needed. Summer is over, the kids are back to school, and the new year is right around the corner. Just this past weekend I sat down with my journal to check-in with myself and my goals. In today's episode I'm sharing the questions I asked myself as well as a webinar from my winter 12 Weeks To Transformation veterans group. In that webinar, we did a quick check of the basics, a quick check of attitude and perspective, and then dove into breaking down one of the major barriers to change: your story about your past and your problems. I'm sharing this because I know it will be a great tool for you as we go into the last season of this year and also because registration for the fall 12 Weeks to Transformation is now open!

If you need some motivation and encouragement, you'll want to listen to today's episode! I was recently talking to an OBGYN client who wanted to know my thoughts and ideas on how she could motivate her patients to take action on the nutrition information she gives them. You might be suprised to hear that I told her that she can't. Yup, I told her that she can't motivate them with information. See, information isn't transformation. Instead, I shared with her how I try to motivate and inspire my clients (without using information to do it). https://primalpotential.com/514/ Looking for the hemp heart crusted spicy chicken fingers recipe?

As I shared in episode 509, I recently completed my CrossFit Level 1 Training. It really got me thinking about how I can make sure I'm not simply going through the motions of exercise, but that I'm really doing the right things for my body and my goals. Too many people 'check the box' by going to the gym, but they aren't increasing their fitness or moving towards their goal of fat loss. I texted my good friend and former trainer Nathan and asked if he'd help me establish a general framework for my own workouts, within the CrossFit format I love so much. See, in a CrossFit gym, owners/trainers can choose to write their own programming. Some programming is fantastic. Some leaves much to be desired. My fitness isn't in the hands of my gym owner, my fitness is in my hands. After Nathan and I began chatting about this over the phone, I said, "Hey! I think my podcast listeners would love to listen in on this conversation! Are you okay recording this with me?" He agreed, and that's what we're doing in today's episode. Terms that come up include: Metcon: metabolic conditioning AMRAP: as many reps as possible The general structure Nathan recommends for me, based on my goals and my current level of training includes: 1 rest day per week 3 compound movement strength days, focusing on relatively heavy weights, multiple sets of 2-6 reps 4 metcons per week, most in the 6-12 minute range 1-2 single modality workouts, also high intensity (running, rowing, biking, swimming) https://primalpotential.com/513/ Resources: Episode 074: CrossFit & Weight Loss Episode 509: How To Increase Your Fitness Episode 215: 6 Ways To Get More Out Of Your Workout Episode 035: Fitness For Fat Loss Episode 160: Fat To Fit - Fitness Want some great workout clothes?

I have a client who is struggling. She really wants to create change, she wants to end the struggle, but she's not consistently doing the work. In today's episode, I want to get really practical and talk about my coaching philosophy for these kinds of situations. How do you break out of a pattern? How can you end the struggle? There IS a way out and we're talking about those strategies today. I'll share how I coach my client as well as how I continue to overcome my own struggles. One of the strategies I talk about in my episode is keeping my home a place that sets me up for success. I don't keep treats and snacks in my house, but here are some of the things I do keep.
