186: Rethinking Goal Setting
Goals can be awesome mile markers along the path to change, but goals are not enough to create and sustain change. If you want to create change in your life that is long-lasting, you have to be willing to change your beliefs about what is possible for your life, your habits and ultimately, your identity.
In this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, I challenge listeners on how they think of goal setting and how to use goals in a way that helps foster meaningful and sustainable results, not just temporary ones.

149: How to Develop the Habit of Showing Up For Yourself
In this final episode of the theme “Ready, Set, Grow” on the Grace & Grit Podcast, I talk about a few of the biggest obstacles standing in the way of women showing up for themselves to “do the work” required to improve their health story. I also provide some suggestions for how to conquer each one.
These are the specific obstacles I address:
#1 Not believing that it is possible to improve health.
#2 Chasing results rather than looking for ways to fall in love with the work.
#3 Making a habit out of negotiating and rationalizing.
#4 Quitting because results are showing up “fast enough”.
If you have ever found yourself challenged by any one or ALL of the above obstacles…have a listen to this episode.

131: Building a Practice vs. Chasing Results
Everywhere you turn there seems to be a new product, formula, program, pill or system being sold to you promising RESULTS. Sadly, people buy into these promises in droves to improve their health, but these measures can often further damage their health by causing them to develop a phobia of food, disordered eating patterns, hormonal challenges…and so much more.
Chasing results is not the same as improving health.
In fact, I have worked with many clients over the years who were so focused on creating certain results with their physiology, that they hugely sacrificed their physiological and psychological health to do so.
There is a big difference between chasing results and building a practice of better self-care (which results are typically the bi-product of…by the way).
You can spend your time, money and energy chasing what I call the “Hail Mary Approaches” to results (which you will struggle to sustain) OR you can invest in learning how to build a practice of better self-care so you can remove yourself once and for all from diet dogma and extreme measures.
