204: Rising To The Occasion That Is Your Life

I wish I could tell you that deep health could be attained by following a playbook that worked for someone else’s life, but that’s not how it works (the horrific failure rate of the diet industry is proof of that).

Deep health requires deep inner work so YOU can author the playbook for your own life.

I meet women every day who say they want to get off the diet hamster wheel but they also want to avoid the inner work at all costs.

Inner work isn’t optional if you want to nourish your mental and physical health in a way that is sustainable.

In this episode, I talk about what inner work is and why it is the very thing that will help you rise in the most powerful way to the occasion that is your life.

203: Why You Must Rumble in Order to Rise

I have long believed that improving health, be it mental or physical, is a practice of self-leadership. Self-leadership is a practice of righting decisions and habits that may no longer be serving you.

To move your life to higher ground, you must be willing to rumble between who you have been and ultimately who you want to be.

Rumbling is how we learn, how we grow, and ultimately how we become stronger and more confident versions of ourselves.

In this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast, I explain why rumbling is so necessary to the change process and how to rumble well.

202: Rumbling with Courtney: Your Questions Answered

This week for the podcast I decided to reach out to my community and ask them what they were rumbling with, and I got some GREAT questions that are going to be relevant to a lot of women. Listen in and feel free to drop your own questions in the comments for me to answer in a future podcast.

198: Living In Alignment With Your Food Philosophy And Why It Matters

​In the age of diet dogma and copious amounts of nutrition information available at your fingertips, I think it is more important than ever to turn inwards and ask yourself what is working for you.

What is your food philosophy and are you living in alignment with it?

Surprisingly, although many women can quickly tell you their food beliefs, they aren’t necessarily living in line with those beliefs.

Check out this episode to get clarity around your own beliefs about food and examine if those beliefs are serving you or not.

197: Commitment and Why You Need to Understand the Depth of Yours

When it comes to health in modern-day culture, we have a commitment issue. The truth is, you will never learn to be consistent if you don’t learn to commit.

We commit to marriages.
We commit to our kids.
We commit to our careers.
We commit to our retirement funds.

When it comes to our health? Not so much.

Think about how your health would improve if you could commit to improving it with the depth that you have committed to other areas of your life?

In this episode, I talk about why understanding your level of commitment is so important to improving your health and even give you questions to ask yourself to better understand the depth of your commitments to yourself.

188: The Practice of Recommitment

A lot of people say they are committed to improving their health, but their behavior says otherwise. Their behavior shows they will commit as long as it doesn’t get uncomfortable.

But commitment is uncomfortable because it implies that you will stay the course when the waters get rough (and they always get rough at some point).

Health is a practice of recommitting to yourself day after day after day.

If you struggle to do that, you will want to check out this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast.
