“You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with.” —Jim Rohn The truth is, if you involve yourself in a relationship that doesn’t serve you, you’re not serving the other person either because you’re not allowing yourself to be the best version of yourself, which is ultimately a disservice to the people around you. In this episode, we go through some research that showcases how our success is so closely linked to the people around us. We talk about how our habits, behaviours, judgement, inspiration, and thoughts are all influenced by our closest friends and family.  "Building Your Life Raft" is a section in my upcoming book Hustle But Health: The 5 Pillars of Sustainable Wellness & Weight Loss For Busy Women which comes out January 31st.  Download the first 50 pages for free here

We may wear it on a shirt, but we know "just do it" isn't the greatest piece of advice out there. Especially for a busy woman. We've got enough on our plates to have someone tell us, "just go get it done."  In this episode, after Michelle and I catch up for a few, we get into the strategies we use with our clients to help them get into the "Get Shit Done" mindset. Plan for problems ahead (holidays, work travel, vacation)  Have a schedule and stick to it. Keep the goal the goal, and accept that you’re not going to be able to do everything.  Know that you don’t have to be awesome all the time Embrace the grind.  Know yourself, and where your blocks and distractions are likely to be.  Have a support system. Have something to look forward to doing every day. Realize: YOU are in control, and YOU set the tone of YOUR own day.  Recognize that there’s no one size fits all approach nor a “perfect time”.  Create “no distractions” time and space for yourself, even if only little chunks. Keep going, and focus on the bigger picture. Let's get into each one!

I started BODZii in 2016. As it's developed as an online business in the world of social media, I've been navigating through all of the different beliefs and thought camps when it comes to how to live the healthiest life.  As you probably know, the biggest struggle as a woman on her health and weight loss journey is a) getting the correct information and b) acting on that information. I've spent the last 6 years filtering through all the information out there and have my own belief on what the healthiest lifestyle looks like.  Today I want to share that with you. 

Let's talk about the uncomfortable conversation of health and weight loss.  Have you ever felt the *ICK* about having that awkward conversation with a friend or family member about how you're trying to make better choices in your diet? Or starting to work out? Maybe you have a friend that's been offering you takeout, and you don't want to say "no" because you're a people pleaser. Maybe you feel guilty about shaming someone else. You don't want to be seen as someone who is "dieting" cause... ew... dieting. With the war between diet and wellness culture (juice cleanses, Healthism, food restriction) and self-love culture (Health at every size, body-positivity), it's very challenging trying to figure out where you "live" Michelle and I dive deep into how we approach this conversation, how we, as coaches, are constantly learning, and tips on how you can navigate this conversation yourself with your friends and family. Or who knows, maybe this is just a great internal conversation to have with yourself as you try and figure yourself out along your road to the BEST you! This is a great episode to listen to on a walk, so get those earbuds in.

There's so much unsaid about that "holy shit what's going on with me" stage of life that when women do get there, they're left feeling lost, overwhelmed, and frustrated by their pants not fitting the same way and their sleep completely out of whack.  And that's just naming two of the hundreds of symptoms associated with peri-menopause/menopause.  Now if you're reading this and nodding your head, know that it's totally normal for you to feel hopeless. But also know that there's a way you can take back control of your seemingly RUNNING WILD body and hormones so that you can lose unwanted body fat, and feel stronger and more energized than ever.  In this episode, we have BODZii in-house dietitian Debora Sloan on to talk about exactly that - gaining back control. As always, we don't like to beat around the bush or overcomplicate things. And Deb is so good at doing exactly that. No bullshi*t, straight truth! We'll talk about - strength training - common feelings/symptoms of aging - being realistic about our goals and progress  and so much more. As always, put your earbuds in and play this while getting your steps in.
