Grab your sneakers, take a few deep breaths, and join me for an adventure in Southern California. 

What is the role between the environment and your health? It's all connected, and I want to take you for a deep dive into your earth body and how to care for it. Get a little sneak peak into basic environmental urban planning concepts AND how this all ties into our own healthy lives. 

Experience the Southern California 2019 super bloom through your ears, and why this is relevant to us and our health. Nature is awesome and it can heal us, and by connecting we can be inspired to move our bodies and take care of ourselves. 

This spring time  focused episode will give you ideas on how to connect with the energy of the spring and how the healthy pillar of flowers can bring your health and well-being.

The message I keep getting over and over from the universe lately to relax and chill out more. To stop worrying about what my next step is going to be. This does not come natural to me! I am a planner and I am a doer. Sure, I like to relax... But lately usually only during the allotted portion of my calendar or schedule! So I am cultivating more the spirit of unwinding and doing nothing.

I light of that, I also don't want you to try something crazy yet again, because it's new year's, because your friends are doing it... I don't want you to fall off the wagon yet again and beat yourself over that because what those programs are doing is either lying to you (Oh this powder will make you lose weight and give you energy and help you sleep through the night...NOT).


OR they are giving you something totally unrealistic to strive for as a goal... I'm sorry... LIVE IN KETOSIS???? THAT'S CRAZY TALK!!! You can eat carbs, my friend! You just can't binge on them.


I want you to make the REAL change that will keep you on track FOREVER!!! YES, FOREVER!!! Forever is the only diet that will work, and the good news is that it has to be fun, and relatively easy, and delicious, or it just won't work.

So, join me, have fun, move your body, explore the actual emotional triggers that are sabotaging your efforts, understand what is making these changes difficult, and learn to LIVE IN FLOW so you can keep succeeding!!! ?

Your body really does know all the answer. Learn to listen to it, so you can stop ignoring what ails you, and fix it instead.

With winter comes a time to turn inward and hibernate. So how does that go with reaching healthy goals, which we usually associate with doing MORE? Listen to find out!

I love to talk about your inner goddess (or gods). And when I talk about the inner gods/goddesses, I am actually talking about... wait for it... hormones!!! I bet you didn't see that one coming, did you?

Yes, to me, the gods/goddesses can help us see, in a real way, how we are out of balance, and how we can use the same skills of that out of balance goddess to prevent the problems, just as she causes the problems when she is out of balance. 

In this episode, I tell the story of Persephone, and how she can help us find peace and balance that can ultimately lead to weight loss in our lives by accepting our reality and living up to our best self within it!

​Enjoy! This is a fun one :)

I explore the life changes and societal pressures that result in putting ourselves last and making ourselves feel like crap, and I share how our wisdom can help us shift that, how we can rediscover the wisdom of our youth to merge the best of both worlds and create a healthy lifestyle that will bring us closer to our health goals, weight loss, and the work life balance that we need. I share a BIG IDEA that has been percolating in my mind for many years, and how you can apply that to make your life better!

Looking into the seasons and how we can prepare for weight loss as fall approaches. I explore how the seasons and how our local environments can help use take care of ourselves and how we can put this to work to create the healthy lifestyle we crave, without adding anything to your to do list, but instead putting yourself in tune with the cycles that surround us.

You are a leader. You are ambitious, and you are busy. The truth is, it's rewarding. It feels good to be successful!

However, when we begin to forget the other parts of who we are, your career can become unhealthy. What happens when you keep falling off the wagon when it comes to your health? When you make changes for a while, but just can't seem to sustain them?

It is hard to admit that the thing we prize most about our life - our successful career and the accolades that come with it - may be the exact thing that is disrupting our achievement and success in our health.

I know, as a fellow member of the Very Ambitious Person Society, that it can be really hard to think that I can't control or succeed at something that I am putting my mind toward. Really hard!

I want to let you know first and foremost - if you are not succeeding in health - it has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH WILLPOWER!

There are a whole bunch of reasons why it has nothing to do with willpower... the primary reason is because willpower is finite and we use it up during the day so it will never work. Other reasons include circadian rhythms that make us lose our inhibitions when the sun goes down, which is why we always end up overeating at night (among other things we do without inhibition), and also because of hormones.

Hormones get their own paragraph. I'd give them their own article, but my business coach tells me they are too boring! Our hormones are in charge. It doesn't matter what we think or tell ourselves, in the end we do what our hormones tell us to do -- not what our brains are saying. Things that cause our hormones to hijack our actions: stress, emotional triggers (like a fight or a rough day), stress, age, stress, monthly changes, stress, sugar, stress, poor diet, stress, caffeine, and... did I mention stress?

If you are ready to take charge of your health a different way, then I have the answer. It all starts with aligning our actions with our values. If you really truly desire to reach and maintain your body's ideal natural weight, then it is time to prioritize it. This is the part where you pull that thread and see where it leads you. The actions you need to take are not the same as the ones I need to take or any of my other clients need to take.

Finding the middle ground seems elusive in the beginning, because we aren't used to taking it. Lots of my clients tell me they really don't know what the middle ground would be. That applies with clients who are looking to give up the dieting mindset (of deprivation as the only way to lose weight) as well as create sustainable exercise patterns (not going hard for 6 weeks... then quitting). No matter what your middle ground is, if you are used to going "all in" it can be hard to figure out how to do something else... something that may feel like "not enough" but in reality is exactly the answer that will allow you to succeed! We have to carve new neural pathways to do this. The steps are simple, though not always easy.

I always approach things by focusing on practical steps you can take right now - using smart scheduling (and, OK, a teeny tiny bit of willpower - just in the beginning!) I couple this logistical side, or "pre-planning" as I call it, with the emotional/spiritual/hormonal/stress detangling.

So as we figure out what your emotional/spiritual/hormonal/stress triggers are and eliminate them from the source, you sustain yourself with the pre-planning, and eventually these meet in the middle... Yes! That is the middle ground that we are looking for!

And it is from this middle ground that you really can achieve your ambitions in both career and health, without sacrificing one for the other, but truly having it all!
