In this episode, we explore why, despite our best efforts, thought work sometimes falls short. You might be doing everything right—focusing on affirmations and mindset shifts—but still feel stuck. Today, we’re diving into something I’ve experienced personally, and I see a lot of my clients struggling with too: why thought work sometimes doesn’t seem to work. You’re doing all the mindset work, trying to be in control of your thoughts, but it’s just not getting you the results you want. Sound familiar? It took me a while to figure this out, but I found the answer: Thought work is powerful, but there’s something even more powerful that can override it: our nervous system.

In this episode, I dive into something that’s been on my mind ever since I heard President Nelson say, “This is the secret to a life of joy.” As someone who’s all about joy, that caught my attention. He said the secret is to come unto Christ and offer our whole soul to Him, which got me thinking—what does it mean to offer our soul? I realized that our soul is made up of both our body and spirit, so I started asking myself how I’m caring for these two parts of me. I’ll walk you through how I broke this down: what a healthy body looks and feels like, and what a healthy spirit means to me. I also share a beautiful moment I witnessed during my daughter’s labor— If you’ve ever wondered how to truly live a life filled with joy, this episode will give you some practical insights and a fresh perspective.

This week, we’re diving into the theme of overwhelm—a common feeling that can hit when we’re faced with seemingly insurmountable tasks. Overwhelm can be likened to super glue—it keeps us stuck in place and prevents us from moving forward. It feels strangely comforting because it’s familiar, even if it’s not productive. We often indulge in this emotion because it feels safer than stepping into the unknown and taking action. So, how do we break free from overwhelm? Tune in to this episode to find out.

Today I'm talking about a common thing that all of us do where we have expectations of people, sometimes called "a manual”. We want them to think, feel, and act a certain way. The problem- people aren’t very good at being who we think they should be. Holding onto our "manuals", expecting our kids and others to be who we want them to be, just causes us a lot of unnecessary misery. Believing someone should be different than they are, feels like love. It feels like we’re just trying to be a good mom (wife, daughter, friend, etc.) by looking out for them, but what we aren’t seeing is the misery we’re inflicting on ourselves in the process of trying to control and change them. Join me on the podcast this week as I highlight how we hold onto our joy-sucking manuals, and why letting them go is the key to becoming A Joyful You - happier, healthier, confident, as well as improving all the relationships in your life.

Today we're diving into your thoughts about your summer body. Are you unhappy with your body image? If so, you’re not alone. Body image isn’t something we just came up with ourselves. It’s something that's been conditioned by society. We've been told in many ways that our bodies are unacceptable as they are, that we should be ashamed of them, and that they need fixing especially during the summer. We've been conditioned that there is a one size fits all mold that we're supposed to morph our bodies into and that the way our body looks is more important than everything else. In today's episode, I'm talking about body image and some different ways to think about your body. If you don’t currently have a life coach, I would be so honored to be yours.

I have been a coach for 6 years now and I’ve helped 100’s of women and a few men, and the number one thing my clients want help working on is weight loss. So many have tried diet after diet and they’re left frustrated. They started out hopeful, but eventually they grew to hate it because it’s hard and miserable. When it comes to losing weight so many people focus only know to focus on the food piece, trying to change what and how much they eat. But what I’ve come to realize is that changing what you eat is actually the last piece of the puzzle. There is so much more that needs to be addressed first. Once you address these things, then the food part becomes so much easier! And there’s not the constant battle going on. So instead of just jumping all in and trying to do a complete 180 degree overhaul of your life trying to do and eat all the things perfectly all at once to lose weight, I promote working on weight loss by degrees. And more specifically, just one degree, one tiny percent, at a time. On this episode I'm sharing my framework for weight loss. WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER: FEATURED ON THE SHOW: Summer Coaching Sale!
