312: Boundaryless: The cost of refusing to set limits.
Many people struggle to implement boundaries with themselves and with others. And one of the reasons they struggle is because of what they are making boundaries mean. Boundaries will make people think I don’t care.Boundaries rob me of my freedom.I shouldn’t have to set boundaries.… just to name a few. The truth is, boundaries are what actually afford us deep relationships and freedom in our life. In this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast...
311: Restore Health At Any Age w/ Joan and Michelle MacDonald
It is never too late to improve your health & well-being, and Joan MacDonald (who might better know as @trainwithjoan) is an awesome example of that. In this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, I have the awesome privilege of sitting down with both Joan and her daughter Michelle to talk about the journey to improved health and the things that are so often overlooked along the path to making meaningful change. Things like…...
310: Expanding Your Capacity to Feel Wonderful Things
To go after the things you really want for your life, you have to open yourself up to experiencing big emotions without reacting to them. I have done a lot of podcast episodes about the value of leaning into the emotions that don’t feel so good (like discomfort and disappointment), but in this episode, I want to talk about expanding your capacity to experience the feel-good ones – like power, joy, and confidence. This is...
309: My New Year’s Wish for You
Every year I do a podcast about lessons I’ve learned in the past year or hopes I have for the Grace & Grit community in the year ahead and this year I want to share something that took me years to learn, but that has made all the difference to my health and happiness AND the health and happiness of the women I coach. Have a listen. Share it with another woman who could benefit...
308: Restoring Your Personal Power in 2023
Power is the root of a lot of the topics I dive into on the Grace & Grit podcast and in my paid programs. I have called it a lot of things – integrity, self-leadership, personal responsibility – but at the end of the day, we are really talking about power. What it really takes to step into your power to live an authentic and fully expressed life. In this episode of the Grace & Grit...
307: Important Behavior Change Math
The reason that so many people struggle with making meaningful behavior change is because they don’t respect the math. In this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast, I explain some important behavior change math that can radically improve your rate of success. Check it out and share with someone who might benefit from hearing the message.
306: Fatigue vs Burnout
I have been thinking a lot lately about fatigue vs burnout. They are both very real challenges this time of year for a lot of people. However, they are NOT the same thing and they require different levels of self-care. If you are physically tired, sleep and rest ARE the solutions. If you are mentally burnout or feeling emotionally “flat” and/or uninspired – it could be that sleep and rest are “part” of the solution...
305: It’s NOT Self-Sabotage
You may have the best of intentions to travel through the holiday season with intention, grace, and ease this year AND you may also find yourself sliding down the slippery slope of negotiating your way out of your good intentions if you aren’t careful. A lot of people call this self-sabotage. Moreover, the personal development space uses this label a lot. Which, personally, I think is a mistake and hugely problematic because it implies that...
304: A Woman of Grace & Grit: Claire Schulz Bergman
What a beautiful thing is to witness a woman reclaiming and owning her power and I witness A LOT of that in the work that I do with my clients. Today, I want to share a bit of that magic with you. In this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast, I sit down with an amazing woman and current client of mine, Claire Schulz Bergman, to talk about a few things she has learned...
303: Mindset matters and… it isn’t everything.
I am a HUGE fan of mindset work and I deeply believe that it plays a significant role in what you do and what you don’t do. That being said, there are things other than our thoughts that can influence how we feel emotionally. Hello, hormones! In this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast, I talk about how our biochemistry can influence our mindset AND how our mindset can mess with our chemistry.
302: Reasons That MOVE You Into Action
Vague thinking creates vague action. If you want to show up for yourself in a powerful way, getting clear on compelling reasons for doing so is an absolute MUST. And there are a lot of ways to do that. Some of which I share in this episode:)
301: The Habit of Negotiating
I have worked with a lot of women over the years who had the very best intentions to show up for themselves, but when it came time for the actual showing up part? Well… They didn’t. Breaking promises you make to yourself can become a habit. The good news? Habits can be changed. If you are currently in the habit of negotiating your way out of the work you have called yourself to do, this...
Ready to find your midlife magic?
Say it with me “my body is NOT the problem!”
Ahhh…doesn’t it feel great to release the chains you’ve lived with for so long?
It’s true that the wellness and diet industry wants you to believe that your body is broken—that it needs to be fixed, resculpted, and forced into looking a certain way.
The Power Years Coaching is all about ditching that narrative and nourishing your body consistently. This is what provides the jumping off point for a life of self-leadership, trust in your wonderful body, and peace knowing you’re making the most of your second act.
