Ep #255: Living Your One Big Bold Life

In this episode, I’m sharing how to begin right where you are, even if you don’t have it all figured out. It’s about taking the next step, rewriting your story, and understanding how your thoughts shape your beliefs—and ultimately your actions (or lack of them). Let’s talk about creating your best life, one bold move at a time.

Over the past five years, this podcast has been such a special space where I’ve shared my personal experiences with weight loss and the emotional ups and downs of the diet roller coaster. It’s been my mission to help women transform their lives, embrace their bodies, and live their best lives—and it’s been one of the greatest gifts of my life. In this episode, I reflect on the incredible successes I’ve seen from the women in the Transform Boss program and share some big news about what’s coming in 2025. With a new podcast and fresh opportunities through BFLYCoaching, I’m expanding my focus to help women achieve more than weight loss, including mindset shifts, better relationships, goal setting, and overall well-being. Thank you for being part of this journey with me. I’m so grateful for each of you and can’t wait to reconnect on January 31st. Together, we’ll continue to grow, learn, and create the lives we’ve always dreamed of. 

It’s time to stop waiting and start living boldly! In this episode, we’re diving into what it means to embrace your one big, beautiful, bold life—unapologetically. No more waiting for “someday.” Today is the day to step into your best self and live with purpose, passion, and courage. Whether it’s taking that first scary step, owning your story, or simply giving yourself permission to dream bigger, this episode will leave you inspired to seize the moment and make it count.

Let’s talk about managing holiday overwhelm and making this season truly special without all the pressure. You don’t need a perfect holiday to have a wonderful one. Set realistic expectations, simplify where you can, and remember to take care of yourself through it all. Focus on what really matters—time with family, making memories, and finding joy in the simple moments. Let’s make this holiday season a little more meaningful and a lot less stressful.

People-pleasing might feel like keeping the peace, but it can quietly drain our energy, time, and self-worth. This episode dives into the roots of people-pleasing, why we crave approval, and the hidden toll it takes on our well-being. Discover practical steps to set healthy boundaries, nurture self-respect, and reclaim your energy for what truly matters. Tune in and learn how to break free from the cycle of people-pleasing and step into a more empowered and authentic life.

Comparison has a sneaky way of robbing us of joy, making us feel like we’re always falling short. It’s easy to get caught up in what others are doing, but that mindset keeps us stuck and unfulfilled. By shifting our focus to our own progress and celebrating our personal milestones, we can reclaim our happiness. Life becomes richer when we stop measuring ourselves against others and embrace our unique journey.

  In this episode, I dive into the often-overlooked aspect of weight loss: dealing with disappointment. We'll explore the emotional challenges that can arise when progress feels slow or when goals aren't met as planned. You'll learn practical strategies for managing these feelings, reframing setbacks, and staying motivated on your journey. Whether you’re facing a plateau, feeling frustrated, or simply need a fresh perspective, this episode will equip you with tools to handle disappointment and continue moving forward with grace and resilience.

The real change happens in our mindset and emotional life.  If you want off the diet roller coaster part of the work is shifting your weight identity. This identity is strong and can lead you to sabotage your results.  Get more information and show notes here: https://bflycoaching.com/250 Follow me on Instagram: @shannanchristiansen

Relationships are foundational to our lives.  They matter and can also cause a lot of stress. You may have been taught that if the other person changes then the relationship will get better. In this episode Coach Jenn and I discuss how to have better relationships and it is not what you think.    Get more information and show notes here: https://bflycoaching.com/249 Follow me on Instagram: @shannanchristiansen
