| 3 Reasons Why It’s Not Your Fault That the Diet Didn’t Work | 17 Dec 2022 | 00:13:37 | |
You are not broken. Diets go against the grain of how our brains are wired. The diet mentality keeps us stuck in self sabotaging thinking. In addition, we make it harder for ourselves by thinking "I'll be happy when I lose weight" versus "I choose to be happy WHILE I lose weight. Instead, think of weight loss like nurturing a garden rather than running a race towards a finish line.

| No Cure For Being Human | 05 Jun 2024 | 00:22:51 | |
Have you ever had a moment that makes you appreciate how good things are?
I like to pay attention to synchronicities in life and I recently had a few that came in with the message that was telling me to pause and appreciate.
It made me wonder about why our fear of pain—whether it’s losing someone we love or the fear of failure—often holds us back. And yet how do we look that fear in the face and have the courage to embrace the imperfection of being human and risk the vulnerability that comes along with it?
Today we’re talking about fear, mortality, and what it means to live a full life. Oh yeah, we’re going there.

| People Pleasing | 29 May 2024 | 00:33:23 | |
Have you ever felt like your mental radar is constantly tuned into what would make other people happy rather than what you actually want? Like hypothetically, maybe Mom wants you and the family to come over for dinner this weekend. It would just break her heart if she wasn’t able to see you. But your spouse really doesn’t want to go and the kids can’t be bothered. They want to know what grandma is cooking because they only like certain things. And if you do go, you know that you need to eat more than you want of whatever she’s cooking because otherwise she’ll get her feelings hurt. That’s just one of the many ways you can find yourself constantly bending over backward to please others. And yet, where are you in the process? What about what YOU want? You can’t even remember the last time you asked yourself “What do I want?” Does it feel like you're stuck in a cycle of prioritizing everyone else's needs above your own? And how does people-pleasing impact your weight loss efforts? In this episode, we'll dive into the depths of people-pleasing and its sneaky impact on your weight loss journey. We'll cover the root causes, how it adds an extra layer of complexity to weight loss, and most importantly, how you can learn to let YOU be one of the people that you please in your life too. So, are you ready to untangle the complicated knot of people-pleasing and loosen it up a little to make weight loss easier on yourself? Aw yeah! Let’s dive in.

| I'm afraid to feel my feelings | 22 May 2024 | 00:37:41 | |
Have you ever been told “You’re too sensitive”? Have you ever felt like your emotions were just a little too much and too overwhelming to handle? Like you’re afraid to let your feelings be okay because deep down, you assume you're the problem? I mean, how embarrassing is it to cry in front of your boss, right? Pull yourself together, girl! (Oh wait, is that just me?) So what we end up doing is, instead of looking those big, powerful feelings in the eye, it’s so much easier to stuff them away with food or drink and focus on the idea that you’ve got to keep it all together, because otherwise you’ll be a puddle of gooey, messy emotions on the floor. What if you’re NOT the problem? What if you CAN handle those big, powerful emotions? What if there were tiny steps you could take to allow your feelings and start embracing them, instead of running away? Today, we’re talking about feeling your feels. I’m opening up about some emotional stuff I’ve been through and my journey from ignoring my feelings and landing in the doctor’s office, to baby stepping my way towards the freedom that lies on the other side of the fear of feeling what you feel. We’ll talk about tangible ways to dip your toe into the water of feeling your feelings, and how to stop thinking that you’re the problem. Ready to face what you fear with baby steps towards personal peace?? Aw yeah! Let’s go!

| Are you making decisions from a place or love or fear? | 08 May 2024 | 00:30:14 | |
Have you ever felt like you're stuck in a dieting hamster wheel, constantly chasing THE THING that will actually work, but you always end up feeling defeated?
Why do we do that? Why don’t we trust ourselves to know how to eat?
Imagine this: you're staring at the menu, torn between the salad and the burger. Is it because you genuinely want the salad, or are you fearing the guilt that comes with the burger?

You know, that fear that all your hard work is just a temporary blip on the radar? It's like your mind is playing a cruel trick on you, keeping you from fully embracing the positive changes you're making. Why is it so hard to let ourselves feel good about our accomplishments? This can show up in work or relationships too. Why is it that feeling good about your achievements—whether it's weight loss or any other area of life—can sometimes be scarier than staying stuck? Is it because we're afraid of jinxing things? Or is there something deeper at play? Today, we're diving into the hidden reasons why feeling good can feel dangerous, and how to recognize when you’re hitting your own upper limits. We'll cover the root causes of this fear, the signs to watch out for, and practical strategies to help you break free from its grip.

| Secrets Keep You Sick - Interview with Yvette Salva | 10 Apr 2024 | 00:53:05 | |
Have you ever found yourself thinking ahead to when no one will be home and you can eat whatever you want - or how much of whatever you want - in secret without anyone to see? Maybe you wait till everyone is in bed, or you “do good” while you’re at work when others can see. But when you get home and you’re by yourself, it’s a different story. That can bring on so much shame. The same can be true of drinking. One of my most shameful things from the past has been drinking more when I’m alone than when I’m with other people. The self loathing that can breed in the cover of darkness is intense. So today we are peeling back the layers of shame and secrecy with a special guest, my friend and fellow life coach, Yvette Salva. We explore her story of inner turmoil of leading a life as a fitness professional on display in the front of the room, while hiding painful secrets of anorexia, bulimia, alcoholism and addiction. In this episode, we'll cover the raw reality of hitting rock bottom, feeling addicted, and struggling to break free from the shame spiral. Yvette and I cover specific steps to go from feeling addicted to food and destructive behaviors to creating intentional systems that set you up for success. And at the root of it all is learning to love yourself on the inside first. One quick heads up: There is some adult language in this episode. I always tell you that the world needs more YOU. That you are meant to shine your light exactly as you are. And Yvette is New Jersey strong and brings it with some sassy language. So if you’ve got little ears in the car, maybe hit pause and come back to this episode a little later. And when you do, you’re in for some real talk and truth bombs. Are you ready to peel back the layers and break free from the shackles of shame?
Aw yeah! Buckle up, buttercup!

Like no matter how much you hustle and strive, that bucket of worthiness never seems to fill up? It's like running on a treadmill, right? No matter how fast you go, you never quite reach your destination. In this episode, we're peeling back the layers of the "not enough" syndrome that plagues so many of us. From societal pressures to our own inner critics, we'll explore the root cause of why we base our worth on external measures, leaving us perpetually unsatisfied. What if I told you that your worth isn't something you need to constantly hustle for? What if I said it's already there, nestled within you like a hidden gem waiting to be discovered? It's time to break free from the cycle of striving and embrace the truth that you are already whole. So, are you ready to stop chasing enough and rewrite your narrative? Aw, yeah!

| The Good, the Bad, and the Judgy: Exploring Our Inner Judgments | 13 Mar 2024 | 00:29:14 | |
Have you ever found yourself in a public place and a random stranger walks by and out of nowhere a super judgy thought pops in your brain. “Why would she wear that? Didn’t she look in the mirror this morning? At least I don’t weigh that much.” And then you think “What is wrong with me? Who thinks like that about other people?” Or maybe you find yourself in a situation where you're just dying for someone close to you to make a different choice? Maybe it's your friend, your partner, or even your parents. You think “If he’d just lose a little weight…. If she just noticed all I do….. Why do they always have to SAY those things?” You just KNOW that if they made that one little change, - do something different, say something different, act different, BE different - everything would be better. Or at least YOUR life would be better. We're talking about those moments when I’m biting your tongue, trying to keep from blurting out, "Why can't they just see what I see?!" We've all been there. And it's totally normal! That feeling can come from a place of wanting the best for others, but it comes off feeling victimy and angry. The tricky part is that sometimes, it can leave us feeling a little guilty and empty, like they’re not measuring up or not being who we want them to be. And then we end up judging ourselves for judging them. Ugh! So, what do we do? Do we just bite our tongue and keep those feelings buried inside? Or is there another way? A way that allows us to be true to ourselves and our feelings, while also honoring and respecting those we love so much? In today's episode, we're going to dive deep into this thorny topic of judging ourselves and those closest to us. We'll explore why it happens, how it feels, and most importantly, how to move through it with grace and love. Are you ready to peel back the layers of judgment and uncover the truth beneath?

| Celebrating 100 Episodes with Special Guest Corinne Crabtree | 28 Aug 2024 | 00:57:08 | |
Have you ever had an idea for something that totally scared you and you were absolutely certain that the idea is way above your pay grade. But then there’s a little voice that says…what if I try? And of course immediately your rational voice comes back online and says “What are you thinking? That’ll never work. No one will listen to you.” And yet that little voice has a quiet tenacity and persistence. And you begin to think…what if I try?
Today is a celebration of that voice inside your head. The quiet one that whispers - not the loud one that’s shouting at you most of the time. That voice that is the narrator of your dreams. That voice that speaks from your authenticity. That voice that is the representation of your Divine uniqueness that is meant to be expressed and the reason why you’re here in this lifetime. It is that voice that whispers “You are meant to shine”.
We are celebrating that voice today because this is the 100th episode of the Confident Body Podcast and this podcast would never have been a thing if I hadn’t listened to the little whisper that said “what if I try?” because let me tell you, the loud voice of insecurity and doubt and imposter syndrome was loud and proud when I first thought of starting a podcast. And yet here we are.
And to celebrate this milestone with me today is a very special guest. Someone who has had a huge impact on me. She’s helped me a lot in my own journey in weight loss and learning to love myself. And I’ve also learned so much from her, just by watching, listening, and observing.

| The Hidden Roadblock That's Holding You Back | 14 Feb 2024 | 00:24:50 | |
Have you ever felt like, “I know I should work out, but I don’t have time.” or “I want to take time to meal plan but I get so busy and I run out of energy. Between the kids, my job, not to mention being a wife, I find it hard to carve out time for myself.”
Listen, it is hard to find time these days. Life is BUSY. It’s even harder to make ourselves a priority in our own lives. I mean that feels kinda selfish. And there are so many other people that need a piece of our time and energy first.
I’m not denying that.
At the same time, putting yourself last or even just somewhere near the bottom of your priority list is having devastating consequences for you.
Whether it’s in your health and how you want to feel in your body, or your relationships with other people, or even more with your relationship with yourself - which of course is at the root of it all.

Have you ever felt like losing weight is like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded? The struggle is real, right? It's not just the simple formula that diets try to tell us it is. It's an emotional rollercoaster filled with frustration, self-doubt, and - let’s be honest - the occasional forbidden love affair with a pint of ice cream. But what if it didn’t have to be that way? Instead of a tortuous grind, what if it could be thought provoking game? Picture this: You, with a magnifying glass, examining your weight loss journey like a fascinating puzzle rather than a daunting problem.

And if there’s nothing else that you get from this episode, there are 4 words that map out the repeatable process you can use to turn your weight loss experience around from painful to puzzling. From shaming and blaming to wondering and learning. So, are you ready to ditch the shame, put on your science goggles, and approach weight loss like a puzzle instead of a pain the petunias?

| A New Approach to Weight Loss Resolutions | 17 Jan 2024 | 00:31:11 | |
Have you ever set a goal to lose weight around the new year and thought “alright, this year I will lose 25 lbs. I’m gonna make it happen.” Then life happens instead. And the next year you’re thinking “Ok THIS is the year. I’m gonna commit. I’m gonna get a bowflex. I’m gonna workout 6 days a week.” And by Jan 17th you’re hanging laundry on that bowflex. And you think “Ugh, this happens every time! What the hell is wrong with me?”
The answer is: We change at the speed of safety. [Wait, what did she say?] We change at the speed of safety. Which means that if we change too many things at once and your brain does not feel safe, change will not take place. You’ve got to implement change in the RIGHT way.
So how about this year we do it differently? What if you could work smarter, not harder this time?
Today we’re talking about goal setting in a way that sets you up for success, is strategically designed to help you maintain momentum, helps you feel good about your progress along the way, and actually genuinely helps you make progress towards that outcome you’re looking for.
Ready to get real about resolutions this year? Aw, yeah! Let’s get to it!

| The Year In Review - Looking for Progress | 27 Dec 2023 | 00:28:17 | |
Every year, around late December-early January, I do an exercise called the year in review / the year ahead. Today I’m going to focus more on the year in review and next week we’ll talk about the year ahead. I like the year in review part of the exercise because it’s a great way to reflect back on the year that was. It helps me bring to mind the positive memories and savor them. Sometimes it helps me process through some difficult things that may have happened in the year and learn from them. Give myself some compassion. And often I realize that I accomplished more than I realized. Looking back and reflecting on progress is not something we do a whole lot in weight loss. We are always looking ahead - to that over the rainbow magic land of Oz where I’ve lost my weight and my life is now amazing. And when we do that, we’re putting all of our happiness in the hands of the scale and forgetting that there’s so much more to life, to happiness, to weight loss, than just the scale. I mean tell me the truth. Have you ever found yourself staring at that stubborn number on the scale, feeling like it holds the key to your entire well-being? You're desperately looking for progress but only finding frustration? Only measuring your progress by the scale is all-or-nothing thinking. It’s like going from 1 to 1000 without acknowledging the 999 milestones in between. The key to weight loss success (and by the way the key to actually ENJOYING your weight loss success) is to count those victories that come in all shapes and sizes - not just on the scale. Because that is the secret sauce to keeping your momentum going.
Ready to reflect back on the year that was and find all the little gems hidden along the way? That’s right! Strap in cuz we’re going mining for gold here people! Let’s go!

| It Doesn’t Matter | 20 Dec 2023 | 00:23:36 | |
Twas the week before Christmas and your thoughts are all a-chatter, So many diet thoughts are stirring, especially the one that says “Ya know what? It doesn’t even matter.”
Have you ever told yourself that? Have you ever just been fed up with all your efforts to lose weight that you get to a point where you mentally throw your hands up in the air and say “Ugh! Why do I even bother? No matter how hard I try, it doesn’t even matter.”
That thought can be especially prevalent this time of year when the holidays are in full swing. Life is busy, things are stressful, you’re making the holiday cookies, planning the traditional foods, and don’t even get me started about all the emotions. If there ever was a time for emotional eating, I don’t know about you but MY brain is like “This seems like the perfect time of year for emotional eating!” Oy! It can feel like enough that it’s tempting to just tell yourself “It doesn’t matter.”
Today we’re talking about that one little sentence - “It doesn’t matter” - and how it can seem like a relief in the moment but it actually erodes the core of your superpower by diminishing your efficacy - your sense of control.
Today we’re talking about how to take that sentence and turn it around to help you go from feeling like the victim and feeling helpless to being the hero in your own story.
So let me ask you….Are you ready to pivot from a powerless perspective to a positive and proactive point of view? Are you feeling geared up to go from a gloomy to glorious and game-changing attitude? Are you ready to go from victim to victor in your own life???
(I confess, I asked chat.gpt to help me with those sentences. What? Work smarter, not harder, right?) Anyway, let’s get after it! Here we go!
