Grace & Grit Podcast: Helping Women Everywhere Live Happier, Healthier And More Fit Lives

When it comes to fat loss, your hormonal health matters… a lot! Your hormones are the government of your body, so when they are out of alignment, messages aren’t communicated correctly, things get a little (or VERY) confused and a lot of metabolic dysfunction ensues: Your gut health gets disrupted. Your mental health takes a hit. Your organ’s ability to function at full capacity declines. Your muscle health suffers. … just to name a few things. And all of this chaos, in turn, contributes to even more hormonal dysfunction and round and round it goes making fat loss feel impossible. So the question is:How do you heal and fortify your hormonal landscape?

Weight loss is not a conversation I am interested in for so many reasons (many of which I addressed in episode 217). Healthy fat loss, however, IS a topic that I am interested in having with the right women at the right time. In this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, I bring some clarity to what can be a very confusing topic. More specifically, I discuss: Why I don’t believe fat loss is the right conversation to be having with all women who want to “lose weight” Why where you carry your weight matters Why focusing on healing and building muscle is smarter than focusing on losing fat The three-part process for changing body composition that protects a woman’s mental health as she works to improve her physical health … and so much more. Have a listen. I hope it helps or, at the very least, you learn a little something:) You can listen here: https://graceandgrit.com/podcast-219/ Mentioned in this episode: #five2thrive Free Five Part Video Series https://graceandgrit.com/five2thrive **** Are you loving t

Most women I work with have spent a lifetime trying to prove or earn their worth, but worthiness is not something you need to hustle for. Worthiness is baked into your humanity. That being said, worth does need to be acknowledged… BY YOU because if you don’t think you are worthy of time and attention, you won’t show up to do the things you are being called to do. This month on the Grace & Grit podcast I am talking about what it means to take Unrelenting Ownership of your health, and ultimately, your life. In this episode, I talk about why it is so important to answer the call to own your worth. I hope you love it and, even more importantly, I hope it helps.

I have long wanted to have an expert come on the Grace and Grit podcast to talk about sex because having worked with hundreds of clients over the years, I know there is a lot of shame, resentment, and frustration about what happens, or doesn’t happen, in the bedroom. Since our theme this month is pleasure, I thought this would be the perfect time to broach this topic. My guest, Janna-Denton Howes, is a Sex Coach who specializes in helping married women want and enjoy sex more with their husbands. We cover a ton of ground in this episode, including: How to prioritize pleasure (like sex) in your life and how it benefits your health How to design a safe and enjoyable sexual experience How to ask for what you need How to reconnect to your body’s “pleasure potential” How to set boundaries inside and outside of the bedroom … and so much more.

The human brain is hard-wired to seek pleasure. The problem is we are living at a time where concentrated pleasures are being sold to at every turn and our over-consumption of them is actually hurting our well-being. In this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast, I talk about natural vs false pleasure and why the type you pursue will have a huge impact on the future of your health.

​Emotion can be incredibly helpful or horribly destructive depending on what we do to process them or if we process them at all. I deeply wish that emotional management was a course taught in primary school. There is so much needless suffering in the world because people either do not allow themselves to feel difficult emotion or they don’t take responsibility where they can for the emotion they do feel. In this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast, I talk about why learning how to FEEL all emotion is so important to your health and how to retrain yourself to feel emotion rather than deny, resist or numb it.

Admitting where we could do better is not necessarily fun, but oh-so-important to our personal health and even to the health of the world at large. The past few weeks have shown me where I could serve women (all women) better AND reminded me of the art of listening.

I wish I could tell you that deep health could be attained by following a playbook that worked for someone else’s life, but that’s not how it works (the horrific failure rate of the diet industry is proof of that). Deep health requires deep inner work so YOU can author the playbook for your own life. I meet women every day who say they want to get off the diet hamster wheel but they also want to avoid the inner work at all costs. Inner work isn’t optional if you want to nourish your mental and physical health in a way that is sustainable. In this episode, I talk about what inner work is and why it is the very thing that will help you rise in the most powerful way to the occasion that is your life:) You can listen here: https://graceandgrit.com/podcast-204/ And, be sure to register for the FREE Masterclass for Women here: https://graceandgrit.com/ditchthediet   ****   Are you loving the Grace and Grit Podcast?  Help us keep the mic on!

I have long believed that improving health, be it mental or physical, is a practice of self-leadership. Self-leadership is a practice of righting decisions and habits that may no longer be serving you. To move your life to higher ground, you must be willing to rumble between who you have been and ultimately who you want to be. Rumbling is how we learn, how we grow, and ultimately how we become stronger and more confident versions of ourselves. In this episode of the Grace and Grit Podcast, I explain why rumbling is so necessary to the change process and how to rumble well.

This week for the podcast I decided to reach out to my community and ask them what they were rumbling with, and I got some GREAT questions that are going to be relevant to a lot of women. In this episode, I answer 4 questions: I was doing so well with not eating sugar, why am I struggling again? How do I get traction with a routine again when life has been so disrupted? I am noticing that I am driven to take action out of guilt (a lot), and I know it isn’t serving me. How do I remedy this? Why can’t I seem to take action that counts? Is it a lack of commitment?

Yes, life is a little (or a lot) disorienting right now and we are being challenged in new ways. It is all too easy to focus on everything that is wrong with our current reality and why it shouldn’t be happening. The sooner you stop fighting reality (because let’s be honest you will never win that argument) the easier you will be able to navigate your way through it. No, we cannot control what is happening out in the world (pandemic) but we can control how we live this day despite what is going on in the world. Meaning… You can control how you show up today. You can control how you spend your time. You can control how you feel You can control what you choose to focus on. And in this episode, I teach you one of the most powerful practices I know to help you do just that.
