    Feeling Good in Your Body with Sarah Haas

    “Health is a lifelong process. But when you start thinking, okay, if I loved my body, if I truly loved my body, how would I treat it?” –Sarah Haas A lot of times women raise their hand for weight loss, because it's how we've been conditioned to react to the health world, but what if we actually focused on health? So many of us have negative self-image. We’re used to zeroing on our perceived flaws, but what if we focused on how amazing our bodies are? What if we focused on the little shifts we can make that make us feel amazing? I’m diving into that  with Sarah Haas, integrative nutrition health coach, weight loss & diabetes expert, certified personal trainer, and speaker, who is taking a stand for women’s health. We talk about:  Taking stock of what you want the second half of your life to be likeCultivating the feeling of enoughness and love How we project ideas about weight and body image onto our kids … even if we don’t talk about itChanging out of a punish, restrict, deprive mindset to focus on what you need, protein, vitamins, rest, movement, down time … Making a 1% improvement a week adds up to 52% change in health over a yearFocusing on taking care of our bodies in perimenopause/menopause and pushing back on the idea that it’s all downhill from here ABOUT SARAH LINKS https://sarahhaaswellness.com/https://www.instagram.com/sarahhaaswellness/Boss Body podcast DOABLE CHANGES At the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Action is how change happens. Often we feel like our actions have to be huge to match the bigness of our desires, but we have seen over and over and over again that the little things add up. Instead of going all in, in ways that are not sustainable, you can stack up a series of Doable Changes that build to that big change that you crave. This is the 1% change we talked about. Choose one Doable Change that really resonates with you this week and really make it part of your life.  Here are Three Doable Changes from this conversation: CULTIVATE A FEELING OF ENOUGHNESS. Instead of trying to change yourself, start by loving yourself and feeling like you are enough. Start each day by repeating I am enough or another loving saying.Throughout the day ask yourself: I loved my body, if I truly loved my body, how would I treat it?MAKE A LIST OF WHAT YOU NEED. Too often when we think about health, we think of the things we can’t have or focus on things we have to push to do. Make a list of all the things you need to take care of your body. Here’s a start: protein, vegetables, movement, rest … keep going.FOCUS ON 1% IMPROVEMENT. Pick one thing from your list of what you need and focus on weaving it into your week. Remember, you aren’t aiming for perfection, just a 1% change. Maybe you add one more veggie to a meal or make sure you start your day with water or set a timer to take your supplements.

    Drive Your Own Health with Jillian Greaves

    “Being able to really prioritize yourself and your health is going to give you the ability to show up as your best self.” –Jillian Greaves Your body is waving the white flag — fatigue, digestive issues, thinning hair, anxiety … Are you paying attention? You wouldn’t be the only one too busy taking care of kids and parents and a business to tend to your own health. But it’s time to shift our priorities. Functional Dietitian and Women's health specialist Jillian Greaves explains small, slow sustainable changes can have ripple effects — and why it’s essential for entrepreneurs to prioritize health. We start with food. That doesn’t have to mean elimination diets or restrictive plans. Nutrition doesn’t have to be complicated, which is important when you feel like you can’t do one more thing. And the good news is, you’ll start to notice some differences in energy and mood — and maybe other symptoms — pretty quickly. We talk about:  Make slow, deliberate but sustainable changes based on the why, not simply on suppressing symptomsStarting with food, especially eating for blood sugar regulation, including breakfast ideasEliminating decision fatigue around eating without losing joyThe effects of chronic stress in our own lives and in the world around usCreating pockets for restoration of your nervous systemChanges in perimenopause being one more way your body is talking that you should listen to ABOUT JILLIAN Jillian Greaves is a Functional Dietitian and Women's health specialist, the owner of the private practice Jillian Greaves Functional Nutrition & Wellness, and the creator of the PCOS Root Reversal Program.

It’s easy to ignore what it is trying to say because you think you don’t have time to deal with it, but what if you started paying attention. Notice your energy throughout the day. Notice your mood or anxiety. Notice changes in your skin, hair, weight. Not to judge, just for information.START WITH BREAKFAST. Start your day with a breakfast that includes some protein (and ideally some veggies). Eating to maintain balanced blood sugar starts in the morning and can affect your mood and energy.

    The Surprising Role of Your Pelvic Floor with Tanya Goodrich

    “Caring about your pelvic floor has big impacts later on.” –Tanya Goodrich What if we got it all wrong with kegels? A lot of us don’t know a whole lot about what our pelvic floor even is, but we’ve been told to do kegels. Tanya Goodrich, PT and women’s pelvic health specialist, clears up what the pelvic floor is, why it’s so important, and why kegels might not be what you need. (Oh, and they call them blueberries now.) The pelvic floor is the group of muscles that sling between your pubic bone and your tailbone, like a hammock. And what a lot of people don’t realize is that your pelvic floor is part of your core. A lot of the things that we’ve been told we just have to accept — like leaking a little after having kids — is common, but not normal. You don’t have to just take it. We talk about:  How to retrain your bladder if you have to pee all the time — and how frequently you should be goingConsidering hormone therapy and getting a healthcare team that is up to date on current menopause studies How stress affects the pelvic floor and why somebody might need to loosen their pelvic floorWhy so much change happens in the pelvic floor during perimenopause/menopauseThe connection between constipation and the pelvic floor and 4 steps to get you pooping: hot beverage in the morning (bonus for coffee), big circle massage starting at your right hip bone, a heat pack, and walking; and relaxing instead of pushingHow to warm up for good sex ABOUT TANYA Tanya Goodrich, PT, DPT, a distinguished figure in women’s pelvic health, brings over 15 years of experience to her practice and advocacy efforts. With a background in dance from the California Institute of the Arts and a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of California, San Francisco, she possesses a unique blend of expertise. As the founder of Healthy Pelvis Physical Therapy, Tanya specializes in addressing a wide range of pelvic health issues, including those related to pregnancy, postpartum care, menopause, pelvic pain, bladder and bowel dysfunction, and sexual health. She extends her influence beyond clinical practice, serving as a recognized speaker on these topics and providing guidance to organizations like Evernow, focused on menopause care, and Blossom Birth and Family, a nonprofit supporting women and families in the Bay Area. Tanya is also a member of the medical board for Hot Pause Health, a fast-growing community dedicated to empowering women through their peri/menopause journeys. In this role, she contributes her expertise to advancing education and support for women navigating this transformative stage of life. Through her comprehensive approach and dedication to education and innovation, Tanya Goodrich continues to make significant contributions to improving women’s pelvic health and well-being. Tanya was recently featured in Maria Shriver’s Sunday Paper as an “Architect of Change” for women’s health.

Change comes from action.  Sometimes action gets a bad rap. You can be kind to yourself. You can practice being AND doing, but for change to happen you have to take steps. The way we take care of ourselves is making the steps doable and focusing on one thing at a time. We take time to integrate the change and then move on to the next one.

    Behind the Scenes of My Latest Health Goals

    What if I could get over all the little things that keep holding me back and really be the healthiest version of myself by my 50th birthday? –Mia I’m pretty health focused. In fact Plan Simple started when I was 33 with three young kids and a business .. and I wasn’t the healthiest version of myself. There was a day I couldn’t try to power through on coffee any more. I started with yoga. I changed my food — went raw vegan (without even knowing what kale was). I kept it simple and self-loving and I stuck with it. My wellness journey unfolded from there. But then in January I found sickness just pummelling our family. And I realized that I’m doing what I’ve been doing for 15 years. My 50-year-old body is different than my 33-year-old body. I’ve been coasting. It’s time to stop relying on an old version of me to make decisions for now and future me. What would it look like to be the healthiest version of me when I turn 50? Sometimes we stick with what we are doing because it’s easier than going all in on something new. But this isn’t a whim or a “should” goal. I truly want to feel amazing — and have energy to show up my best for my clients and my family. Three things happened:  I’ve gained about 45 lbs, which I attributed to perimenopause. I found my feet hurt so much I almost couldn’t walk when I first got up in the morning. I went to the doctor for an ear problem, and they told me I needed surgery. I knew my body was not in good shape for surgery. What if I could heal my ear another way? Or what if I could make myself ready for surgery? And at the same time, my kids are growing and I'm loving seeing their interests — and I want to be healthy and mobile to be able to visit them wherever they are in the world. It’s time for change. I believe that all of us have our next doable step. That means you can start wherever you are — and that wherever you are there is a next step. I’ve been coasting when it comes to health for a while now, and I can’t anymore. Here are of the things I’m doing: Focus on Food — that means meal planning and doing my friend Tess’s program, it means rethinking sugar and proteinRethink Exercise — I got out of my usual routine and it’s been hard getting back for physical and emotional reasons. I’m trying new things and pushing — with loving intent — what I think I can do. Add More Rest and Mediation— I can work my body, but I also need rest. I’m trying more healing mediations and scheduling more time for them. Remember Hydration and Supplements. Sometimes we just need to come back to what we know we need. This doesn’t just happen. We need to decide. We need to schedule. We need boundaries. And we need support (I’m putting my team together). I’m working on all of it this month, and I hope you’ll try it too — whatever you need for your healthiest self. What would happen if you felt really good right now?

    Wealth Creation with Kaitlyn Carlson

    “I define wealth as the luxury of choice.” –Kaitlyn Carlson Do you like the sound of financial freedom or work optional?

You can keep adjusting too.START INVESTING. Don’t think that you have to hit your number right away. Start now with what you can do. Work toward reaching that monthly goal (and know that if you exceed it, you will make up for some of the lower months).

    The Energy of Money with Christine Walsh

    “The more money that is in the hands of women who are conscious and doing amazing, the more money gets put back out into our families, our communities and the global collective.” –Christine Walsh We need to get better with money. Money triggers us in a way that nothing else does. I’m talking with Christine Walsh, a financial transformation expert, about why — and what we can do about it. We dig into why what you’ve learned about money management probably isn’t right for you as a woman and an entrepreneur. We talk about how improved stewardship around money allows us to change things in the world. What I really love about Christine’s approach is that it is both practical and energetic. We talk about:  Shifting how you think about money from something that gets you things to something that brings change Getting clear on your values and where your spending is and is not alignedWhy you don’t probably don’t have to give up StarbucksStarting with no judgement to improve your relationship with moneyTending to your money like you’d tend a plant you want to growRecovering power by facing our money story ABOUT CHRISTINE Christine Walsh, master certified coach, fractional CFO, speaker, and author is revolutionizing the way women access financial independence  in their businesses and their lives.

Action is where change happens. Even though we want big change, it’s really little things done over and over that make the difference. So pick a doable thing. Put it in your calendar. Weave it through your days for a week and then move on to the next one. It will have a snowball effect. Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation: REVIEW YOUR SPENDING THROUGH YOUR VALUES. Get really clear on your values for your business and yourself (they may be the same or have overlap). Then look at where you are spending money and what you are spending it on. For each thing you spend on, assess whether it is in alignment or not with your values.CHECK ON YOUR MONEY EVERY DAY. If you want your money to grow, you have to tend to it. Start by checking on it daily. Do it with compassion and no judgement. Get used to keeping money in sight instead of hidden.CHANGE YOUR MONEY STORY. If you frequently say, “I’m not good with money” or another stale story, it’s time to shift your money story. Start by looking at your beliefs about money — what it’s for, how we get it, who has or deserves it, how you judge it — and your fears...
