In this inspiring and enlightening episode, meet Keatha - your new best friend in the War on Weight. Having experienced first-hand the hurdles of body issues and the strain of food obsessions, Keatha is here to share her victorious battle against weight as she drops more than 50 pounds through simple healthy habits and a complete mindset makeover. This podcast is not just about losing weight, but truly embracing yourself, your body, and taking charge with Jesus by your side.

This episode addresses the often feared summer season, where clothes seem to show more skin and body insecurities tend to rise. The conversation revolves around shattering harmful beauty standards perpetuated by AI, urging instead for a kinder, realistic self-perception. Opt for clothing that makes you feel good, accept what you cannot change about your body, and truly find the beauty of being comfortable and authentic YOU.

In a deeper look into body image, this episode tackles the negative thoughts that sometimes plague weight loss struggles and emphasizes the powerful role of love in combatting them. The dialogue scrutinizes personal motives behind weight loss, and encourages seeing your body as a vessel of ability and not just a figure of vanity. Sharing her own experiences, Keatha presents a fresh perspective on weight loss strategies, complete with practical interventions and debunking of weight loss myths.

Wrapped up with the introduction of the eight-week group weight loss course operated on a donation basis, this episode is more than just a podcast - it's an opportunity to embark on a weight loss journey that focuses on sustainable practices, health-first approach, and love. Keatha's dedication to aiding all in their war on weight, regardless of their financial situation, is truly commendable. Listeners are also given the chance to be part of the 'Healthy Habits 101' Facebook group, allowing shared inspiration and continuous learning in their journey.

This episode leaves a lasting impact, exuding a tangible sense of anticipation, determination, and optimism for listeners ready to take on their weight loss goals. Revel in a topic that's both insightful and down-to-earth, packed with actionable strategies. It is indeed an invaluable resource for those who seek sustainable and loving ways to achieve their weight loss goals.

ONE RAW EPISODE...... Here's one of those episodes I recorded months ago and decided to tuck away.  I was in the middle of alot of turmoil and what I call a tail spin of sorts.  What I've realized is that I was just digging deeper and I'm doing it.  I'm not giving up on working through it all to ensure I never turn to food, people or anything other than God when my emotions and the world gets the best of me.  I hope this give you courage to attempt the body time line that Rachael Gilbert lies out in her book, IMAGE RESTORED  .

I read the chapter then rambled a bit and I refuse to re-record. Because these days my focus is PROGRESS over PERFECTION!   

I maybe finding my voice again but clearly my mind and voice havent lined up.   So here's the skinny....  The point of this whole episode is Health and Wellness is a journey and sometimes ALL OUT WAR!   

We are WINNING that war when we learn what is best and healthiest for ourselves. 

 We are WINNING that war when love for ourselves comes first!

 I thank you and I love you all for your continued support and listening to my podcast as I am in the trenches with my own battles.

BTW.... Here's the link to grab a breathework course.  I HIGHLY recommend Jon Paul Crimi!   I also recommend ELISA FUCCI, her classes are amazing and she's been a guest on the show.  

There are a few different options, including a SUNDAY online class to try it out!   And when the time is right.... I'll be offering my own classes- Certification  and transformation in progress!

So there are two things about my message that can get you in a little bit of an ackward place.  First, I tell you all live your life outloud.  Then I also say….. Dig Deep and find out your WHY!   Why do you do what you do?, Why do you want to change? What do you value most?  Figure out your own core values and stick to them.

So here’s the thing… I’m struggling with something right now that’s caused me to want to not live outloud, it’s caused me to want to run and hide from the world and truth be told has caused me to find my way to the bottom of many fast food drive thru bags.  So when you think… I haven’t heard much from Keatha lately, It’s true I’m somewhat on sabbatical.

I took my own advice and dug deeper to figure out WHY I was responding to certain situations the way that I was and why I was feeling so lost.   What I found was that there was unresolved trauma from my past that triggered me in ways that maybe other l people wouldn’t respond to in the same way.

But more importantly, I found myself living incongruently to my own core values. one thing I have learned in my personal journey is that any time you are going against your own core values, chaos emerges.   This is exactly what was happening, there were just things that go so deeply against my core values that my spirit and soul just reacted so badly.   But understanding the WHY behind it allowed me to love myself and give myself some grace.   The famous words of Jane Pilgner that have brought me so clarity is a statement she taught me in a class many years ago and if you are a client of mine and you’ve experienced an overeat, I often referred you back to this statement…. Well of course LOVE you feel _ insert emotion______________ because of __situation______. 

A lot of times that  first feeling in the  blank causes us to eat.   Sad, lonely, disappointed, neglected, left off, alone, miserable, out of control… the list goes on and on.    Just google emotion wheel and you'll get a ton of free ones, even YouTube videos on how to create your own. 

Of course, you are thinking, well just stay away from those situations.   That's exactly what I did, For YEARS I avoided this type of situation.  Unfortunately, recently I’ve been faced with the situation repeatedly.  I found myself feeling traumatized and almost wounded and felt like I couldn’t control my own environment to protect myself from this reoccurring feeling.   

One counselor described it as feeling like your being hit over and over or someone being shot over and over but in placed that weren’t life threatening.   It was true.  The more I experienced it, the weaker I felt, the sadder I became, the more lost I was on the inside.  I was fighting like HELL to work through it, but it was getting the best of me.    It was during one of my podcast interviews when it hit me that I needed to figure out WHY I felt wounded and traumatized.      

Once you have your mind in this place, it’s so easy to feel defeated and listen to the lies of the world and the enemy.  It starts to compound and compound until I felt completely lost again.  It's been several years since I felt this was and  GOD WAS NOT HAVING IT.    Since I’ve started my little sabbatical , God has shown up in ways to loving point out my own self sabotaging so to speak but also shown me all the good that I do bring to the world.  

Sisters this battle with our bodies and minds is ongoing an battle… It’s an all out  WAR! 

 Sisters, If you can relate to any of this, I cannot stress enough the importance of working through your stuff.  If you want to get to the bottom of your weight issues, your disordered eating, your relationship issues.  You need to journal, you need to get some help from a professional.    I’ve given you some excellent resources and access to some incredible life coaches that specialize in different areas, use them.

I can coach your through weight loss, I can coach you through transition and maintenance but when deep seeded issues rear their ugly heads… you need more and it’s my job to recognize that in you and even in myself!

I’m taking my own advice and I’m going dig even deeper for the remainder of Lent.  I want to show up in the world as the absolute best version of myself.  That means, I need to spend a lot more time with God, journaling and resting.   So as you hear some of the topics shift and episodes a little father apart… know that I’m here getting myself better and better to serve God and you as the best version of myself.

So sister, never let anyone determine your core values, dig deep, live outloud without any reservation!   

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US BRINGS GOOD INTO THE WORLD, even when we bring our ugly along.  It’s only through the work do we all get better together! 

So if you're ready to have a coach that has been where you have been and still contending for my own health every day, schedule an appointment with me and let's get you started.  I'm taking new April clients now!

When you read the intro to this book, you'll see why I knew I needed Rachael Gilbert to come on to the show and share all about her new book IMAGE RESTORED.  

Sisters, this is such a treat!!

Here's how the book promo reads...... "Are you tired of being at war with your body—and with your thoughts about your body? Rachael Gilbert struggled with shame when she didn’t measure up to her dream body image. Then, as a fitness instructor and licensed counselor specializing in disordered eating, she realized how many of us bury the same painful insecurities. But keeping up appearances is exhausting. We need restoration from the inside out."

Can I get an AMEN?

Seriously, this book is so good and sincerely profound!  I could go on and on, but let's stop reading here and jump into the episode.  Then grab your copy of the book on AMAZON.

It's NEVER too late to "fill in your own blank" and on today's episode there are several amazing women going to reiterate that to you.   Sister, you can do anything you want to do.  You can lose weight, get strong, start a business, improve your relationships, change your hair color, becoming organized, chose happiness and joy...

Today's episode is all about THE menopause and perimenopause!   I'm joined by one of my co-authors from Becoming An Unstoppable Woman in Health and Wellness for a light hearted fun conversation about menopause and the book. 

My friend Kim Rendon is a a 30 year registered dietician and is on mission to help women thrive through perimenopause and beyond.  So much so that she titled her chapter, Become An Ageless Goddess.

In Kim's chapter, she describes the symptoms to look for as we enter these dreaded phases as women, but more importantly she lays out some very simple healthy habits to ensure you are feeling your best at any age.    Yep, it's still all about those healthy habits that help you lose weight.  They also help control those menopause and perimenopause symptoms.  I think you'll hear a lot of similarities in our approach to overall health.

You can find Kim hanging out on Facebook and learn all about her services on her website: http://livethrivewellness.com/

P.S. If mentioned weight loss...  "In a clinical study, the group on the Optimal Weight 5 & 1 Plan® lost 10x more weight than the self-directed group. Average weight loss on the Optimal Weight 5 & 1 Plan is 12 pounds"

Today, The Divorce Confidante- Joy Bartholomew  joins me for a sister to sister conversation about overall health and how we can show up as our best self.  

Joy  is  a certified divorce coach, podcaster, yoga teacher and single mom to her both kids and dogs!  Joy actually retired after being a police officer for 30 years.  I have to laugh and think if she’s not helping some women stay out of jail too during their divorces.   (Just kidding…well maybe.)

After experiencing her own divorce and the drama that ensued, she wanted to be a resource for women navigating their way thru the murky waters of divorce, co-parenting and single mom life.  I love that she’s taken a very difficult life experience and turned it into a way to help other women!  

Does that sound familiar?   I’m sure you’re already figuring out that we hit it off like old friends!  

In her coaching practice her hope is to give women safe passage through divorce, avoiding the unnecessary pitfalls, so they can reclaim and rebuild their life after divorce.  So once again, I’m bringing you a guest that has walked the walk before talking the talk. 

So, sisters as we go into the episode, go into it with an open mind. This episode is NOT just for women going through a divorce. The topics Joy and I discuss today are things as women we need to focus on no matter what our marital state is and you never know how getting your mind, body and spirit healthy will change relationships!  However, if you are in need of this type of help, I hope you will reach out to Joy.  

What if instead of waiting until a major life event like divorce (like Joy's) or a major health crisis (like mine)  we actually started to find ourselves, reclaim her and unleashed the very best version of ourselves.  Now is the time to lose everything that is weighing you down.  Now is your time Sister!

There is one thing I hear from others ALOT is that they never regret making positive changes, but only regret not starting sooner.    I hope this episode encourages you to find your best self NOW. 

It's never too late to lose weight, feel great and show up as your best self!

This episode is packed full of skills, tips and tools to improve communication in relationships.  So instead of eating your emotions, my special guest Railey Molinario gives us her methods of actually expressing our emotions, resolving conflict and improving our relationships.   This will be life changing for some of you. 

Imagine if...... We actually could communicate our feelings instead of burying them and then eating our way through fights or conflicts.  This in and of itself could completely move the scale for you.  We need to get to the place of fueling our bodies NOT feeding our emotions.  If we drop the emotional eating and honor our bodies energy needs, we won't overeat and the scale will reflect it.  Guess what... you will lose weight! 

Railey is best known for her signature program, the Power Couple PhD, which teaches couples her scientifically backed formula for creating happy and healthy relationships.  Railey is providing the world with the tools and techniques, so many of us have been missing for far too long.  I'm honored to have her on the show sharing how to use her "Power Couple Technique" and quite frankly... I just love her and her work!

You can grab the full download and get the masterclass here:

Relationships without fighting Masterclass

I think we kind of failed on the voice over for the movie but you can watch it here!

Sister, I hope you took that time to sit and write your thoughts about this episode.... Seriously stop and journal.

It's time to stop existing and start LIVING!

YOU DESERVE THIS! 

Thank you so much Railey!
