    Episode #45 A look at sobriety with Christina Nuttall, Fitness and Habit Changing Coach.

    On this episode of the Finding your Strength Podcast, I’m joined by a returning guest, Christina Nuttall, who is a fitness and habit changing coach. During our previous interview we spoke a bit about the mommy wine club, but today we’re getting deeper into sobriety and everything that comes along with this life-changing decision.  There’s this double standard of shame for drinking, but also shame for not drinking, and we talk about navigating life in your early days of sobriety. Christina also discusses her dreadful Saturday morning hangovers, when she started seeing the red flags of her wine habit, when she got really serious about quitting for good and the things she did to make this sometimes difficult transition easier. She also shares the truth about relapsing and getting ‘back on the wagon’ and why you need to go easy on yourself and accept that failure is sometimes part of the journey. If you are thinking of kicking the habit or looking for inspiration and helpful tips on your road to sobriety, this episode is not to be missed!  Key Points from This Episode: • The double standard of judgment that exists around drinking and being sober.  • Socially acceptable drinking and why changing your lifestyle is uncomfortable for others.  • Saturday morning hangovers, crying spells and depression.  • The sober movement and quitting alcohol without hitting a “rock bottom” or getting a DUI.  • Deciding to get fit at 39 and realizing that her wine habit was a problem on the weekends.  • The difficulty of giving up booze and accepting that backsliding might be part of the process.  • When the temptation for relapse is most pronounced and never quitting trying to quit.  • Looking at the different types of trauma that can give way to alcohol abuse.  • What about your spouse? Sobriety is a personal journey that only you can pursue.  • How sobriety enhances your true self and gives you greater confidence in who you are.  • Sober Saturdays and the incredible productivity that goes along with not drinking alcohol.  • Why sobriety does not impede on your life and how you learn to redefine what fun is.  • Dealing with barbecues, boozy afternoons and bars, and why leaving earlier is OK!  • Critically thinking about why you drink and whether alcohol has become a coping mechanism.  • And much more!    Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode: Christina Nuttall —https://christinanuttall.com/ Christina Nuttall on Twitter — https://twitter.com/christina_n_fit?lang=en Download Christina’s The Ultimate Guide: What to do Instead of Drinking Tonight — https://christinanuttall.lpages.co/50-things-to-do-tonight-instead-of-drinking/ Nichole Guerrette — http://nicholeguerrette.com Nichole Guerrette Email — nichole@nicholeguerrette.com Nichole Guerrette on Twitter — https://twitter.com/nergfitness

    Episode #44 Balancing a Full-Time Career, Fitness and Mom-Life, with Alli Elmunzer.

    Welcome to this week’s Finding Your Strength Podcast! My special guest today is Alli Elmunzer who is an entrepreneur, lawyer, photographer, wife and mom. She gives us a perspective on balancing all the responsibilities involved in being a working mom and the very real busyness that has often got you tired AF! The word ‘busy’ has gotten a bad rep due to it being overused and frankly, abused, but there is just no other way to describe what we women go through in order to keep all the plates of our home and work life spinning. So when we say ‘busy’ we mean overwhelmed! Alli talks about her multifaceted career, how she organically started coaching people on business strategies and how her law degree is opening up more opportunities in the work she’s doing now. She shares about her health and fitness routine, her two pregnancies and when she realized that she may be suffering from postpartum anxiety. We also talk about the negative role that a scale can play in your everyday life, whom intermittent fasting may be beneficial for and how to deal with kids who are picky eaters. Be sure to join us for all this goodness!  Key Points From This Episode: • How Alli transitioned from being a lawyer to being a successful wedding photographer.  • Getting into brand photography and how she segued into business strategy and consulting. • How her legal background allows her to help clients with copyright, contracts and trademarks.  • Her soon-to-be rolled out virtual law firm and how it will serve online entrepreneurs.  • Realizing that she can do law her way in a space that is right for her.  • Not allowing other people’s projected fears to prevent you from going after your dreams.  • Playing soccer and more about Alli’s fitness and exercise preferences.  • Postpartum depression and the immense pressure on women to lose the baby weight.  • Remembering what the purpose of a scale is and when to get rid of it.  • What’s the deal with intermittent fasting? And why it’s not ideal for women. • Which is more important: diet or exercise?  • Processed foods, kids who are picky eaters and tips for getting them to eat veggies.  • Why you have to always pay attention to your intuition.  • And much more!    Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode: Alli Elmunzer — https://www.thestockgallery.com/ Alli Elmunzer on Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/allielmunzer/?hl=en Nichole Guerrette — http://nicholeguerrette.com Nichole Guerrette Email — nichole@nicholeguerrette.com Nichole Guerrette on Twitter — https://twitter.com/nergfitness F45 — https://f45training.com/
