Creating Belief

Raise your hand if you’ve ever said, “I’ve tried everything & nothing works…”

Now, I’m going to ask you a question...

HAVE YOU TRIED BELIEVING IN YOURSELF?!

People ask me how I‘ve gotten results over the years.

I could tell you that it was JUST nutrition & exercise.

I could tell you it was discipline. Or willpower (which is BS by the way, but we will save that for another day).

But what really drove my results? BELIEF

I had to drop the old beliefs that did not serve me.

In the past, I wasn’t able to commit or change because of the BS story I was telling myself about my eating habits, my weight, my body…

So I had to BELIEVE that I could do ALL the things to become the healthiest version of me.

Belief that…
I was worth it.
I was someone who listened to her body.
I could be someone who was healthier.
I could be the person who had a better relationship with food.
I could be someone who exercised regularly.
I was a mom with more energy for herself & her kids.
I deserved to be someone who felt good in her skin.


And I had to work freaking hard to BELIEVE I was THAT version, before she even existed, in order to become her.

And those are the thoughts I still choose to practice on the daily.

What do you believe about yourself right now? But what do you REALLY WANT to believe? What you believe is what you create, so decide what you want to believe. And practice the shit out of it.
Every freaking day.

And if you need a coach to help you find that belief & version of you - it’s me. Hi, I’m the coach, it’s me. :) Click here to set up a consult.

Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself!

Who sang that? Just me? Cool…

I thought I would give a little update on me as a coach & what working with me is all about!

I’m an Empowerment Coach who helps women kick 'shitty self-talk' to the curb and say BUH-BYE to society's standards.

I enable my clients to make choices that light themselves up and achieve the body they want on their own terms.


What that means is, we get you where you want to be but without being a total asshole to yourself AND we make sure you have some fun along the way!

No more:
-Waking up, looking in the mirror & giving power to all of the shitty self talk swirling in your brain, around your body.
-Thinking your body needs to be a certain size or shape because of what you see on social media.
-Yo-yo dieting or restricting then going hog wild on some ice cream because you “couldn’t eat it” for 21 days (been there, done that). And then proceeding to think you are a broken or a failure.
-Hanging onto rules you learned from past diets that no longer serve you.
(i.e. color coded containers, point systems, ya know what I mean..)
-Hiding behind other people in pictures.
-Being scared to be seen in a swimsuit in public.
-Comparing your body to others.
-Needing to overwork at the gym to “make up for what you ate.”
-Telling yourself that “there’s no hope - so why bother.”
-Constantly thinking about food (at least not in a way that makes you anxious).
-Needing to “start over.”

Say hello to a world where you:
-Live more freely without fear of weight gain.
-Do shit for YOU without the guilt.
-Worry less about what others think of you / your body.
-Have better relationships (yes, with yourself AND others).
-Decide what feels good to you & roll with it! (TRUST yourself!)
-Have more confidence. Ya know, stand a little taller. Turn heads when you walk in a room. AND rock ANY swimsuit.
-Believe in your ability to reach your goals & get shit done!
-Embrace YOUR ideal body.
-Feel lighter & happier!


We get super clear on your WHY & from there we decide what it is that YOU want. And then you create the results YOU want based on YOUR terms.

Example 1:
You want to work with a nutritionist (not me, I’m not the nutrionist) to clean up your eating habits but maybe you have a lot of thoughts about how it won’t work, you’ve failed before, etc - that’s where I come in as your coach & we clean that shit up! (Shit = Thoughts)

Example 2:
You actually like where you’re at right now but sometimes you get super judgemental of yourself, compare yourself to others, don’t feel confident when you walk into a room so you want to lower the volume on the shitty self talk & raise the volume on thoughts that leave you feeling confident & empowered. I got you.

Example 3:
You know you need to change, but aren’t sure where to start OR you’ve tried it all but keep ending up back in the same place. We can work together to tackle BS that is holding you back them back from reacing your goals without the pressure to be perfect.

These are just THREE examples - but there are so MANY other reasons we could and should work together. If you are unsure if we’re a fit - click here to set up a free consult.

PS - I hang out mostly over on IG, you can find me there for more.

The Journey

5 years ago.

re: yesterdays reel, yes my journey led me here.

Click HERE for Reel before reading on...

The personal growth I focused on as a BB coach shifted my mindset.

If I held onto my limiting beliefs - a girl who wasn’t meant to be healthy or worked out - it would’ve been another workout program + diet.

How I see this play out for other women (& previously, myself):

  • Results don’t happen quick enough so they give up.

  • They’re hard on themselves or disconnected & they aren’t in tune with what actually feels good to them.

  • They forget that every BODY is different.

  • They beat themselves up if they “mess up.”

  • They make themselves miserable restricting & binge when the diet ends.

  • They gain weight back & can’t figure out why.

This could be 2 fold - not everyone lives their life restricting. Once you go off a diet, you gain it back. AND/OR you still have the identity of a women who struggles with her weight.

If you don’t do the work on the inside, it can lead to a cycle of beating yourself up & self sabotage - your brain will then do its job to look for proof based on your beliefs about yourself.

Mindset is everything.

What the shift did for me & can do for you:

  • You’ll know restricting all of the time isn’t sustainable so you may not always be an “after” picture. And that’s ok.

  • You won’t give up on yourself once you accept yourself. You can still have goals.

  • You’ll find ways to achieve said goal that feel realistic & fit for you.

  • You won’t make it mean anything about you if your body changes size or shape.

  • You’ll stop trying to change your body out of self disgust & you’ll stop being so damn hard on yourself.

  • You’ll shift to acceptance & want to treat yourself in a way that feels more like love which can translate into eating in a way that feels better for your body & moving in a way that you enjoy which can lead you to your natural weight.

  • You’ll create the lifestyle & body you want.

  • You’ll enjoy the journey SO MUCH more.

Social Media VS Reality

Same girl, different angle.

Posed:

  • Definition.

  • Visible thigh gap.

  • Leaner looking legs.

  • No armpit bulge.

Not posed:

  • Relaxed squishy belly.

  • No thigh gap.

  • Thicker thighs.

  • Bra bulge.


Both are fine but one isn’t the reality of how we look in a relaxed everyday state.

Most of the time what you’re seeing on social media is THE best pic. Maybe even posed, filtered AND digitally altered.

The problem is that seeing “perfect” pictures all of the time on your feed can actually have a lot of power over your own body satisfication, IF you let it.

Between social constructs & social media images it’s easy to get caught up in how you WISH you looked or think you SHOULD look.

But the reality is, your body changes daily. It can take on different shapes depending on how you’re sitting, standing or even based on what you eat.

No one is perfect. It’s normal for us to have dimples & rolls. You’ll have shitty lighting sometimes & angles that you prefer. All of that is ok!

I’m not saying post the pics you don’t love, I’m saying you don’t have to beat yourself up over them. And you certainly don’t need to modify your pictures.

You’re still you - just in a different position. That doesn’t make you any less beautiful or worthy.

So here’s my reminder to the women in my life:

Your body is beautiful if you have a body. That’s it. Congrats. You’re beautiful. You win.
