The Ultimate Journey of Self-Care

I recently had a chance to sit down with a very inspiring and special guest.  Michelle Kuei is a confidence and leadership mindset Coach who found her way through life after surviving a horrible childhood accident.Our conversation covers her trauma and how she persevered, made it through pharmacy school, and starting a business to completing a rugged hike in Peru.She is a living, breathing example that no matter what happens to you, you can achieve all your dreams and goals when you approach taking care of yourself in a way that empowers you.GUEST LINKS:Michelle’s site:  http://elevatelifecoaching.org/SHOW WEBSITE & SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS:www.cufitness.comBecome a supporter of the Ultimate Journey of Self Care: https://cufitness.com/the-ultimate-journey-of-self-care-podcast-2/Let us know what you think!  alison@cufitness.comFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/alison.h.katschkowsky?ref=bookmarksJoin my Facebook Community:  LIving your Ultimate Life through Fitness and Self Carehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/743439322342659/Check out our retreats!  www.cufitnessretreats.comInstagram:  @fitstylegalTwitter:  @ahkats

This episode is a special treat!  Jan Hoath is a Mindful Joy Mentor-she focuses on helping big vision leaders find Mindful joy in their lives.In today’s busy, fast paced world, we stay focused on what needs to happen, rather than ‘what is possible for us’.  Jan teaches a method called ‘The Happiness Prism’ in which she emphasizes the importance of her 3 important pieces--Play, Peace and Progress.When we allow ourselves to be joyful in life, not only do we make better choices, we are happier for it.  Sometimes that means looking for the ‘fruit loop moment’ for what we desire most. Tune in to this episode and walk away with some helpful tips to put YOUR purpose in motion. Finding the JOY In our lives is key for long term happiness.GUEST LINKS:Jan’s FaceBook Page: https://www.facebook.com/janhoathJan’s Facebook Community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/LeadWithPlaySHOW WEBSITE & SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS:www.cufitness.comBecome a supporter of the Ultimate Journey of Self Care!

This episode is a little challenge in how we frame our thoughts and choices around HOW we do us--from our fitness, to our self care, to all the things that we try to tell ourselves are hard, difficult, challenging, not easy and more.Maybe you start out on a new habit with the best of intentions, only to be thrown off track by life.  Like we teach, it’s never a question of IF, but WHEN things happen--what then?Here’s a challenge for you.  What if what was challenging you was easy? What would you think? What would you do?Listen in and get a little training in how to flip the negative stories we tell ourselves into thoughts that help us stick with the positive changes we desire for us.Join our signature FREE Online challenge--THE FIT LIFE MASTER CLASS:  https://cufitnessretreats.com/fit-life-masterclass-january-2021/Become a supporter of the Ultimate Journey of Self Care: https://cufitness.com/the-ultimate-journey-of-self-care-podcast-2/www.cufitness.comLet us know what you think!  alison@cufitness.comFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/alison.h.katschkowsky?ref=bookmarksJoin my Facebook Community:  LIving your Ultimate Life through Fitness and Self Care: https://www.facebook.com/groups/743439322342659/Check out our retreats!  www.cufitnessretreats.com

This time of year, making ‘resolutions’ for the new year is nearly common practice. There is something about January being the ‘perfect time’ as if a magic wand is waved and it is decided.In order to achieve what you desire--listen in today’s show and I share 5 tips on going a little deeper in strengthening your mindset--so your resolutions become long lasting--and not just another ‘new year’s wish’.  Developing an unshakeable mindset is the key to achieving all you desire--not the hustle in the daily action steps.Books mentioned:Loving What Is by Byron KatieFeeling is the Secret by Neville GoddardJoin me for my Fit Life Master Class: https://cufitnessretreats.com/fit-life-masterclass-january-2021/Become a supporter of the Ultimate Journey of Self Care!https://cufitness.com/the-ultimate-journey-of-self-care-podcast-2/SHOW WEBSITE & SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS:www.cufitness.comJoin my signature online 6 step Fit Life system Program:https://cufitness.thinkific.com/courses/functional-fitness-live-for-you-july-2020Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alison.h.katschkowsky?ref=bookmarksJoin my Facebook Community:  LIving your Ultimate Life through Fitness and Self Carehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/743439322342659/Check out our retreats!  www.cufitnessretreats.comInstagram:  @fitstylegalTwitter:  @ahkats

The New Year always grants us opportunities for what is possible for us. If you look around the world, there is so much to take in--and much of it can simply remind you of all that is wrong.  The things that don’t serve us.But on the flip side, a big piece of your self care journey should include what makes you wonder, ask questions, be curious and overall--just be in awe of what is POSSIBLE.And on this very special FIRST EPISODE of 2021, my guest--author and speaker Allen Klein (who has been a guest of mine before)--and I have a conversation about the ‘Easy Ways to Put Wonder in your LIfe’.   Allen has a brand new book out--’The Awe Factor--How a little bit of Wonder can make a big difference in your Life’.Look, 2020 didn’t go as we had thought--but in all of it, and what came out of it provided us many opportunities to simply stop and pay attention.You don’t want to miss this one. It’s the PERFECT way to start your 2021.GUEST LINKS:Allen’s website:  https://www.allenklein.comSHOW WEBSITE & SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: www.cufitness.comJoin my new BODY MOXIE program! https://cufitnessretreats.com/body-moxie/Become a Supporter of the Ultimate Journey of SElf Care:https://cufitness.com/the-ultimate-journey-of-self-care-podcast-2/Join my signature online 6 step Fit Life system Program:https://cufitness.thinkific.com/courses/functional-fitness-live-for-you-july-2020Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alison.h.katschkowsky?ref=bookmarksJoin my Facebook Community:  LIving your Ultimate Life through Fitness and Self Carehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/743439322342659/Check out our retreats!  www.cufitnessretreats.comInstagram:  @fitstylegalTwitter:  @ahkats

As we head into 2021, what did you learn this year?Maybe this year has really challenged you and your thought of what self care IS for you, or you have really doubled down on it.And so many people put emphasis on ‘consumer’ self care as their MAIN way of recharging. Maybe this is you.But to be frank--real self care is often what we DON’T DO for ourselves. As in, what we don’t do NOW, but we KNOW we ‘need to’. And it starts with looking inward to what is inside of us--and asking questions. Sometimes questions that we don’t want to answer, or we think would require too much of us to address.This year has been about many lessons and observations for me--maybe for you too. And so I thought it appropriate in this episode to highlight THREE THINGS that have come to mean EVERYTHING about self care to me, especially this year. Maybe as you consider how you want your 2021 to go, some of what I’ll share here can get you thinking too.Join BODY MOXIE and get support and accountability on your 2021 fitness and self care plans: https://cufitnessretreats.com/body-moxie/Become a supporter of the Ultimate Journey of Self Care!  https://cufitness.com/the-ultimate-journey-of-self-care-podcast-2/SHOW WEBSITE & SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS:www.cufitness.comFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/alison.h.katschkowsky?ref=bookmarksJoin my Facebook Community:  LIving your Ultimate Life through Fitness and Self Carehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/743439322342659/Check out our retreats!  www.cufitnessretreats.comInstagram:  @fitstylegalTwitter:  @ahkats See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Like we frequently talk about on this show--HOW you do you can look any way you desire. It can be easy to let slide--especially this time of year--but allowing yourself to just LET GO is an amazing way to regain control.The single biggest game changer when you feel like things are out of control is to remind yourself that is just a thought--and you do in fact have control.Listen in to my chat with fellow coach Tracy Beernan (also a podcast host of the Vision Driven Mom Podcast) as we have a candid conversation about simple ways to work YOU in, so you feel like you’re in control. Tracy shares some excellent tips.GUEST LINKS:Tracy’s website:  www.onefootup.comInstagram:  @visiondrivenmomFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100010397055802Tracy’s podcast on Apple: The Vision Driven Mom PodcastSHOW WEBSITE & SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Become a supporter of the Ultimate Journey of Self Care!https://cufitness.com/the-ultimate-journey-of-self-care-podcast-2/www.cufitness.comJoin my signature online 6 step Fit Life system Program:https://cufitness.thinkific.com/courses/functional-fitness-live-for-you-july-2020Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/alison.h.katschkowsky?ref=bookmarksJoin my Facebook Community:  LIving your Ultimate Life through Fitness and Self Carehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/743439322342659/Check out our retreats!  www.cufitnessretreats.comInstagram:  @fitstylegalTwitter:  @ahkats See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This episode is a closer look at our belief systems around Fitness. Belief systems are often engrained in us from an early age--and they influence to a large degree HOW we make choices and what action steps we take. That’s different from actual HABITS. The key is not only identifying what you believe regarding what you desire in a health/fitness and self care program, but allowing yourself to become CURIOUS about what it means.We doubt our goals when we don’t see results--and that further gives credence to our beliefs. Change your beliefs and you can change HOW you accomplish your fitness goals AND enjoy doing it in the process.Listen in to this episode and hear how I distinguish between creating habits and beliefs, and my 5 tips for feeding your fitness beliefs to give them life.
