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

​In the age of diet dogma and copious amounts of nutrition information available at your fingertips, I think it is more important than ever to turn inwards and ask yourself what is working for you. What is your food philosophy and are you living in alignment with it? Surprisingly, although many women can quickly tell you their food beliefs, they aren’t necessarily living in line with those beliefs. Check out this episode to get clarity around your own beliefs about food and examine if those beliefs are serving you or not.

When it comes to health in modern-day culture, we have a commitment issue. The truth is, you will never learn to be consistent if you don’t learn to commit. We commit to marriages. We commit to our kids. We commit to our careers. We commit to our retirement funds. When it comes to our health? Not so much. Think about how your health would improve if you could commit to improving it with the depth that you have committed to other areas of your life? In this episode, I talk about why understanding your level of commitment is so important to improving your health and even give you questions to ask yourself to better understand the depth of your commitments to yourself.

We are all continually striving to improve our health. And the longer I work with women, the more I realize the last thing most of us need is more information about diet and exercise. You know what you need to do. You even want to do it. Most days. What you truly need is to learn how to apply the knowledge you already have – with consistency. In this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast, I talk about what consistency really means to us and the four practices that will help you to master it. Let’s end the madness of extreme diets and exercise programming and learn how to build a sustainable healthy-lifestyle practice.

As someone who has worked in the women’s wellness space for more than 20 years now, I have come to see improving health as an exercise in self-leadership. Because to improve your health, be it mental, physical or spiritual, you must willing to better understand yourself and have trust in yourself and your abilities. Self-confidence, I believe, is an invaluable part of self-leadership, because it is the trust we have in ourselves to follow through with the things that we say are important to us. In this episode of the Grace and Grit Podcast, I share insights from my own experience of helping women elevate their self-confidence and from my recent read of The Confidence Code: The Science & Art of Self-Assurance – What Women Should Know by Katty Kay and Claire Shipman.

Sleep deprivation + stress + sugar + alcohol + close proximity to loved ones + travel + enclosed + winter = the perfect recipe for a compromised immune system. And there is not time of year where all of these ingredients are more potent than the holidays.

Are you leading the dance with food or is food leading you? We are in the thick of the holiday season where opportunities to eat and drink are around every corner. And, if you don’t stay mindful of why you are consuming these things, you can roll into the new year with a lot of undesirable consequences. In this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast, I present listeners with powerful questions to ask themselves to ensure they maintain a healthy relationship with food.

There is often a disconnect between what we believe the holidays are about and how we actually go about living them. We say we believe the holidays are all about love, peace, gratitude, and connection, but we don’t make time for those things. Or, we are only partially present. Instead, we live the holidays stressed, fatigued, overwhelmed, resentful, and frustrated. Worse yet, we use the rational that we are doing it for others. But here’s a hard truth… if mama ain’t happy, no one is happy! If you truly want to enjoy the holiday season this year and roll into the New Year feeling energized and ready, check out this episode of the Grace and Grit Podcast.

Moving your life to higher ground in any area is going to require that you lean into some periods of intense pushing, but if you want to enjoy the process and maintain your health along the way, you will also need to learn how to honor a big push with a pause:) Health, I have found, is really an exercise in knowing when to push and when to pause. If you are a woman who is chronically running her life in a state of hyperdrive, check out this episode of the Grace and Grit podcast.

A lot of people say they are committed to improving their health, but their behavior says otherwise. Their behavior shows they will commit as long as it doesn’t get uncomfortable. But commitment is uncomfortable because it implies that you will stay the course when the waters get rough (and they always get rough at some point). Health is a practice of recommitting to yourself day after day after day. If you struggle to do that, you will want to check out this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast.

Our culture loves to emphasize the downside of stress. While I agree that extended periods of unmanaged stress can be dangerous to both our physical and mental health, it is important to remember that stress has an upside. Google defines stress as: a state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or very demanding circumstances. So, moving your life to higher ground is going to require that you lean into a bit of stress. Muscles grow when we put them under stress, and…well…so do our lives. How you think about stress has everything to do with whether it will fortify you or deplete you. And, in this episode, I do a deep dive into how you can take more responsibility for the psychological stress you experience along your journey.

Goals can be awesome mile markers along the path to change, but goals are not enough to create and sustain change. If you want to create change in your life that is long-lasting, you have to be willing to change your beliefs about what is possible for your life, your habits and ultimately, your identity. In this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, I challenge listeners on how they think of goal setting and how to use goals in a way that helps foster meaningful and sustainable results, not just temporary ones.

I meet women every day who are afraid to make the wrong decision and so, they choose to live life in a space of indecision. The thing about indecision, though, is that it is an exhausting place to live. It is like treading water… you end up expending a ton of energy but you move NOWHERE. In this episode of the Grace and Grit Podcast, I talk about why decision making is so hard for many women, why it is so important to make decisions and how to make decisions more easily so you can stop treading water and start living life more fully.

All month long on the Grace and Grit podcast the theme has been “Women’s Health Through the Ages”.  And in the past 3 episodes, I have dished out my best advice for women who want to honor their health at various different ages and stages. In this final episode of this series, I have invited my incredible friend, Amanda Thebe, to the show to have a real conversation about the challenges women face in the menopausal years and how to move through those years with a bit more ease and grace. Amanda is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the topic of menopause and she is doing incredible work in the world to help women demystify perimenopause and menopause. Have a listen and share with a woman who you know that might benefit from hearing the message.

I call the years between 40 and 60 the renovation years. Why? Because of shifting hormones combined with balancing more responsibilities than ever, we are really presented with an opportunity at this age and stage of life to take stock of our total stress load and make some hard choices in how to better manage that. In this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast, I share the advice that I believe women in our age bracket need to hear (far beyond cookie-cutter diet and exercise recommendations).

The month the theme on the Grace & Grit Podcast is Women’s Health Through the Ages. Last week I dished out some advice about how to raise our girls with Grace and Grit and, in this week’s episode, I share a few thoughts about how women in their 20’s & 30’s can build a life without sacrificing their health to do so. Even if you are well past your 30’s, this podcast is a great reminder to all women about the toll that too much stress can take on the human body and how we can help one another to navigate life more gracefully. Have a listen. Share your thoughts. Better yet… share this with a woman you love.

How do we raise girls to honor the needs of their body, mind, and soul? How do we raise girls to develop deep self-respect and self-love? How do we raise girls to build resilience against “diet culture”? We lead from the front, of course. Regardless of whether or not we have daughters. What would a girl learn from you about self-care, self-respect or even self-love if she observed you for a day? That is a powerful thing to consider if you are someone who recognizes that women are more than a body and deserve more than what the diet culture has offered them. In this episode of the Grace and Grit Podcast, I explore the challenges girls are facing in today’s culture and how we can show them, by example, what it means to direct yourself with Grace & Grit.

You can’t hate your way health, but oh how women try! You also can’t just “love yourself” when you have been practicing hating yourself for years or decades. I have long preached on the podcast that self-respect is the gateway to self-love, and a much easier place for a woman to start improving her relationship with herself. That being said… self-love IS a worthy pursuit, and not just “self-love” but unconditional self-love. Most women I have worked with over the years only grant themselves love if it is earned (if they grant themselves love at all), and in this episode, I do a deep dive into why developing unconditional love is paramount for deep health.

There is a more graceful & sustainable way to improving your health than what is being presented to you in the mainstream diet and fitness industry. Rather than looking outside of yourself for the answers, I believe that it is more about looking inside. Yeah…I know…not what you wanted to hear. Because… inner work… Isn’t a quick fix. It isn’t sexy. It isn’t something that can be captured in a photo on Instagram. Deep health, in my humble opinion, is only possible to the extent that you are willing to go in and get to know yourself – and the capacity you have to lead yourself. So this week we are revisiting the power of self-leadership and why it is the linchpin to improving your health story.
