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

While the holiday season can usher in joy, celebration, and fun, it can also bring with it a hefty dose of stress. Family, social events, travel, and gift-giving can feel like a LOT on top of an already overflowing schedule. In this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, I give listeners a few ideas about how to travel through the holidays with your mental and physical health intact, so you can start the year ahead feeling strong, grounded, and ready for whatever comes:) You can listen here: https://graceandgrit.com/podcast-262/ **** Looking for more support?  Join me in the Rumble & Rise arena at https://graceandgrit.com/readytorumble **** Are you loving the Grace and Grit Podcast?  Help us keep the mic on!

You know what’s amazing about gratitude? It is one of the few resources we are gifted an endless supply of. There is no limit to the amount of gratitude you get to experience and/or express. And yet… How easy it is to not feel or express it at all. In this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast, I remind us all of the health-promoting benefits of gratitude AND take you through a very simple exercise for extending gratitude for one of the things women so often seem to be at war with… the human body:) You can listen here: https://graceandgrit.com/podcast-261/ **** Looking for more support?  Join me in the Rumble & Rise arena at https://graceandgrit.com/readytorumble **** Are you loving the Grace and Grit Podcast?  Help us keep the mic on!

It would be lovely and oh-so-simple if health was simply a byproduct of nutrition and exercise, but it’s not. Not by a long shot. It is a byproduct of learning how to better manage the things IN your life that act as stressors on your life. And… A dysregulated nervous system can be a massive stressor to the human body as my guest, Irene Lyon, so beautifully explains. I have been a longtime fan of Irene Lyon’s work around trauma and nervous system health because I have seen it improve the lives of not only clients, but I have experienced the power of nurturing the nervous system in my own life first hand. If you are a human being, you have a nervous system and it is worth checking out this episode to find out how to start caring for it the way you do other systems in your body:) You can listen here: https://graceandgrit.com/podcast-260/ Mentioned in this podcast: 21-day Nervous System Reset - https://ea188.isrefer.com/go/21days/CT/ **** Looking for more support?  Join me in the Rumble & Rise arena at https

Relationships are messy, unpredictable and wildly imperfect. And perhaps no time of year exposes that truth quite like the holidays. In this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, I remind listeners about what they can control within relationships this season (and every season) and what they can’t, with the hopes that it will help them travel through the holidays with less stress and a whole lot more peace and joy.

When it comes to improving health, there is something that proves to be immensely helpful time and time again.  AND, sadly, it is often overlooked. It is not a superfood, supplement or shake. It is not a radical diet. It is not an extreme exercise program. It is… are you ready?? Practicing basic life-promoting habits, consistently. So, what are the basic lifestyle habits that make such a big difference to your health? Well, that is precisely what we cover in this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast.

I have worked with clients who struggle to apply any degree of discipline when it comes to their own self-care and I have worked with clients who have applied discipline to the point of self-destruction. Neither promotes health. If you want to improve your health, you need a dash of self-discipline but how much you need really depends on what else is happening in your life. In this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, I will help you identify when you might need to dial up the self-discipline in your process and when you might need to dial it down.

Last week I ran an online event for 250 women called The Consistency Code Crash Course and in that class, I asked women to identify their time leaks (a time leak is something that costs time but isn’t really contributing to your value system). The most popular answer? Social media. So, I decided it was high time that I tackle this issue on the podcast. If you are spending more time on social media than you would like to be, have a listen.

There is a lot of opportunity in present-day culture to make the process of improving your health oh-so-complicated. But who needs complicated? The women I coach certainly don’t.

Take a deep breath and rest assured that in this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, I am going to remind you how simple the road back to health can really be.

In nearly every conversation I have had with someone considering hiring me, there are a few sentences I almost always hear.

Trying to improve your physical health without addressing your mental and emotional health is like doing an expensive renovation on a foundation that is imploding. It might work for a while but eventually, the fact that you skipped over the most important work is going to come to light. In fact, if you want sustainable results, I would argue that nurturing your emotional health isn’t optional, it is absolutely necessary. So, in this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast, I talk about the importance of emotional health and how to take responsibility for yours so you can make change stick:) You can listen here: https://graceandgrit.com/podcast-246/ **** Looking for more support?  Join me in the Rumble & Rise arena at https://graceandgrit.com/readytorumble **** Are you loving the Grace and Grit Podcast?  Help us keep the mic on!

Your brain is amazing. It is constantly processing information, making decisions, organizing, caching out and so much more. It does A LOT for you each day AND… Because it’s efficient, the human brain is always looking for shortcuts to conserve energy and make its job easier. That’s what habits are. So, if you want to change your habits, you have to make it EASY for your brain to execute new behaviors. And that is where the concept of “decision-free living” comes in. In this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, I talk about the incredible power of this practice and how to implement it into your life to skyrocket your success:) You can listen here: https://graceandgrit.com/podcast-245/ **** Looking for more support?  Join me in the Rumble & Rise arena at https://graceandgrit.com/readytorumble **** Are you loving the Grace and Grit Podcast?  Help us keep the mic on!
