You’re working out, eating healthy, and doing all the right things… So why does progress feel so slow? There’s one major factor that could be holding you back— and many people completely overlook it. It increases cravings, sabotages workouts, slows recovery, and makes it harder to stay motivated. That factor? SLEEP. If you’ve struggled with weight loss, felt like your workouts aren't as effective, or wondered why you’re constantly craving junk food, poor sleep might be to blame. Sleep deprivation impacts metabolism, muscle recovery, inflammation, immunity, motivation, and even how your body stores fat. In this episode, I break down: How lack of sleep throws off your hunger hormones, making weight loss harder. The connection between sleep, muscle recovery, and workout performance. Why poor sleep makes workouts feel harder and less effective. How to make faster progress toward your fitness goals—without working harder. If you want to feel stronger, boost workout recovery, and make progress without spinning your wheels, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn how sleep could be the missing piece in your health and fitness success.

Do you ever catch yourself thinking things like, “I’m not good enough,” or “I’ll never get this right”? That voice in your head—the Inner Critic—can be harsh, relentless, and draining. But here’s the good news: You can quiet it and rewrite the script. In this episode, we’re diving into the world of negative self-talk—why it exists, how it’s tied to fear and past experiences, and most importantly, how to overcome it. We’ll explore the science behind your brain’s default to self-criticism (hello, neuroplasticity!) and share practical, actionable steps to help you replace those critical thoughts with more supportive ones. Whether your inner critic keeps you stuck through avoidance or pushes you toward perfectionism, this episode will equip you with tools to break free. From understanding how past trauma shapes your thought patterns to practicing self-compassion in a way that feels authentic and achievable, I'll guide you through a journey of quieting the negativity and reclaiming your confidence. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why negative self-talk exists and how it tries to protect you. How past trauma amplifies the Inner Critic. The role of neuroplasticity in reshaping your thought patterns. The difference between avoidance and overcompensation—and why both stem from fear. 5 actionable steps to quiet your Inner Critic and build self-compassion and confidence.

10. Feasting on What Matters: How to Slow Down and Savor the Season Without the Stress 11:01

14 weeks geleden11:01

11:01

As we head into the holiday season—a time filled with gatherings, traditions, and (let’s be honest) a lot of food—there’s one word that always seems to come up: feast . For many of us, feasting brings to mind tables piled high with turkey, stuffing, and desserts. But what if we thought of feasting in a bigger, more meaningful way? What if it wasn’t just about what’s on the table, but also about how we show up for the season ? In this episode, I explore the concept of feasting as described by Martha Beck in her book The Joy Diet. Beck’s approach to feasting is about savoring life with presence and gratitude, whether it involves food or not. It’s about noticing the small joys, slowing down, and appreciating the moment in front of you—something we could all use a little more of during the holiday season! We’ll also take a look at some common ways we complicate the holidays, adding unnecessary stress to what should be a joyful time. From overcommitting to events and overthinking gifts to clinging too tightly to traditions, I’ll share practical tips to simplify the season and focus on what really matters. And yes, we’ll talk about how to prepare for those real holiday moments —like a dry turkey, broken ornaments, or a family member's latest political rant—and how they might just become the memories you laugh about later. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: What “feasting” really means (hint: it’s not about overeating). Simple ways to turn ordinary moments into meaningful celebrations. How to recognize when holiday activities, traditions, or expectations are draining you—and what to do about it. Why embracing imperfection can lead to a more joyful season. Tips to slow down and savor the holidays without sacrificing your health, energy, or sanity. Resources Mentioned: The Joy Diet by Martha Beck Key Takeaways: Feasting isn’t just about food—it’s about presence, joy, and gratitude. Simplifying your holidays can create more space for connection and meaning. Let go of perfectionism, embrace the imperfections, and enjoy the season for what it is. Action Steps: Identify one holiday activity or tradition you love, and fully savor it this year. Let go of one obligation or expectation that drains your energy. Find a “feast” outside of food—whether it’s enjoying a sunset, cozying up with a book, or savoring a quiet moment by the fire.
