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…

Listen Now!

It doesn’t matter why you think you can’t.

You absolutely CAN.

This is not just health coaching—it’s a personalized road map to the prime of your life.

It’s coaching that will make today feel like the best days of your life are ahead of you, no matter where you’re at right now.

Let's get to work.

I don't subscribe to the idea that health is the a

I don't subscribe to the idea that health is the absence of dis-ease, but rather how we show up in the face of it.

Life is FULL of dis-ease.

Sometimes it comes in the form of relationship challenges, financial hardship, the loss of loved ones etc. And sometimes...

It looks like a diagnosis you never could have seen coming.

My client, dear friend, and guest on this week's episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, Claire Schulz Bergman, shares her experience of being diagnosed with ALS at 52 years young and what health looks like WITHIN that diagnosis.

In this interview, Claire shares:

✨The road that lead to her ALS diagnosis,

✨How her personal development work prior to the diagnosis is helping her now,

✨How she is coping with uncertainty,

✨Why she decided hard how she wants to be in the face of this diagnosis,

… and so much more.

If you or someone you love has been handed an unexpected hardship as of late, listen to this episode! You can't walk away uninspired.

In 5 days' time, you could...

😬Still be overwhelmed,

😞Still be beating yourself up for not making progress,

😩Still be telling yourself, "I'll make time when..."

🤦‍♀️Still be...well... spinning your wheels.

OR

If you decide to join me in The Consistency Code Crash Course...

In 5 days' time, you could be...

✨Clear on the next steps you want to take to move your health to higher ground,

✨Organized around precisely how you will make that happen,

✨Confident that you will actually keep the promises you make to yourself this time,

✨Relieved that you finally have a sensible and sustainable path to your own self-care.

The Consistency Code Crash Course is the work I ask all of my private clients and community members to familiarize themselves with to get the MOST out of our time together.

If you have ever considered working with me...

This is the best place to start AND the best time to start (as you will be in the company of other women who are also committed to ditching the overwhelm of behavior change).

You can read all the deets and register via the link in my bio.

We are living at a time when there is no shortage

We are living at a time when there is no shortage of information at our disposal for how to uplevel our health and well-being..

(I just read in Dear Digital, We Need to Talk that a study in 2011 showed that the modern human was consuming 5X the amount of information per day as in 1986. What do you think those numbers are now, in 2023? Not good! The human brain has not evolved to process that amount of information.)

Truth be told, I have NEVER met a woman who didn’t know at least a few things she could be doing to elevate her health and her life.

The problem she is facing isn’t lacking of knowing. It is lack of doing (especially with any degree of consistency).

Just because you know something doesn’t mean you are applying it:)

I bet you know your body would benefit from drinking more water?

You’ve probably heard about the benefits of exercise?

I bet you’ve read an article or 50 about the value of things like getting enough sleep, eating whole foods, and the power of developing a growth mindset?

Your biggest obstacle to restoring personal power isn’t a lack of information.

Your biggest barrier is convincing yourself you lack enough information to get started.

If you could use a little (or a lot of) help with that “taking more action” part on what you already know in a way that you can actually sustain….

Get yourself registered for The 5-day Consistecy Code Crash Course. We start Monday!

Seriously, why isn't there a diagnosis for "integrity pain"? Because it seems that an awful lot of medical problems are a byproduct of just that.

I have been talking about integrity pain for years. Why?

Because it is a very real and insidious problem.

I work with women every single day who are in integrity pain.

They want to feel confident but they assault themselves with hate speech day in and day out.

They want to feel strong and vibrant in their body but they constantly seek evidence for why that just isn’t possible (and make lifestyle choices to match).

They want to pursue something that has been on their heart for years but they continue to play small due to fear of failure.

Here's the harsh truth...

Living in a constant state of integrity pain is a slow death.

It eats away at you you cell to soul and then... no surprise... you just might get eventually get a "real" diagnosis.

I have been helping women get out of integrity pain for years and next week I am teaching a 5-day Crash Course that teaches midlife women how to do just that so they can stop spinning their wheels and make real progress along the path to change.

There is still time to join us!

Let's talk solutions...
(clearly, these are only a few of MANY)

👉The Habit of Self-Neglect

✨Solution: Start reserving a bit of time in your schedule for YOU. Initially, this will be small amounts of time, because if you aren't used to doing it - it is going to feel uncomfortable.

You start showing up for yourself in small ways and notice the ripple effects it has on how you show up everywhere else.

👉The Habit of Poor Planning

✨Solution: Putting forethought into HOW you can create forward momentum WITHOUT overwhelming your brain and even considering ways you make the process joy-filled.

👉The Habit of Bullying Yourself

✨Solution: STOP giving the mean girl the microphone:) Start extending yourself the same respect and compassion you would show someone else who was in the arena doing hard things.

👉The Habit of Escaping Your Life

✨Solution: Start becoming aware of not just what you do, but WHY you do the things you are doing.

Do you really need another black sweater, or are you buying it to make yourself feel better because you had a hard day at work? How else might you self-soothe? What do you really need?

👉The Habit of Distraction

✨Solution: Protect your resources. Pad your environment from things that rob you of your attention. Remind yourself what is MOST important for you to dedicate your resources to each and every day.

Need more help getting unstuck? The 5-day Consistency Code Crash Course starts Monday💕
