    Learn to stop and have one bite at a time

    One of the greatest challenges to making progress with our goals is the idea that we can have it all. This episode explores the importance of being able to focus on one thing at a time and not spreading yourself thin to the point of becoming ineffective. I share about my personal experiences with trying to do too many things at the same time and the drawbacks it caused me. As a final note, this is my last episode, atleast for a while as I have come to the realisation that the need to focus is where I am at in life and a few things have to take a back seat, even those that are dear to my heart like this podcast. Atleast for now.

    One size does NOT fit all

    Today we explore the idea that despite the message that has been put out there, one size really does not fit all. This is something that can instil shame as people strive to fit into a predefined mould only to be disappointed when it does not work.

    Dealing with awkward moments like "Have you lost weight?".

    In this episode I explore the thoughts and feelings that can often come up when people say things to you that do not line up with what is truth to you. Particular focus is on moments when people comment on your 'weight loss' at a time when you know you have gained weight.  Do you go along with what they are saying to please them or do you speak up. Sometimes people can impose their own values and beliefs and you have to make a decision about how you are going to handle that.

    No More New Year's Resolutions-Just take action

    Have you ever felt stuck when it comes to your goals and found yourself not able to make any progress. Well in today's episode we look at the role that waiting to make resolutions of some sort can actually hinder progress to our goals. There are many reasons we can come up with for why we are not able to do what we want. Instead of trying to psych yourself up as a way of motivating yourself to do things, how about you resolve to take action instead. Forget the resolutions, just do something, anything. Movement is just that, movement.

    A pear can NEVER be an orange

    I am a strong believer that differences should be celebrated and not looked down upon. Many people spend a lot of their time comparing themselves to others and trying to be someone else. This episode is about exploring the idea that you are unique and that's a wonderful thing. When you stop comparing and start valuing your unique self then you truly begin a path to authentic living.
