  • Ignore the Scale! It’s a Liar! Do This Instead.

    I can’t tell you how many times during the course of a client’s time in working with me that I have to stop to remind them of the big picture of the work their putting in.

    I mean think of yourself for a moment… Does the scale trip you up?

    Do you ever feel like things are going SO well, you’re looking great, your head is in the game, your clothes are fitting differently, and you’re seeing that progress in the mirror. The body literally changing before your eyes.

    Then, one day you decide it’s time to see what you weigh… I mean SURELY, you should be down several pounds by now.

    You step on that scale, and then BAM!

    You haven’t lost a damn thing! Or maybe you only lost like 1 pound (or less). Or even worse…. You may have even GAINED WEIGHT!

    And then you’re sitting there like, “OMFG! How in the hell did THIS happen!?”. I mean you’re working so SOO hard, and doing everything right, and still… Nothing is changing.

    Well let me take a moment to shine a light of reality on this situation for you.

  • Carrying Your Cross To Victory | Coaching Message of the Month

    In this motivational video, I’ll share an important concept that resonates deeply with our fitness endeavors – carrying our cross. Delving into spirituality with this one, I want to use the powerful analogy of how we see Jesus Christ as carrying His own cross before achieving victory, we too must face and embrace our struggles in order to triumph.

    What would your cross look like?

    Your cross is any barrier or obstacle that holds you back, whether it’s stress, hectic schedules, or old habits. We want to be able to identify these challenges and give ourselves grace when needed. In this video, we’ll discover the power of perseverance, discipline, and faith in overcoming obstacles and achieving lasting transformation.

  • Releasing Yourself From The Cult Of The Body | Soul On Fire Podcast Ep 3

    In this coaching podcast, I want you to free your headspace from self-sabotage as we move through your fitness journey.

    The cult of the body places your appearance, and your physicality above all else – removed from the person that you are. It doesn’t care or consider your mental, emotional, or spiritual development as a whole human person.

    And when it comes to your fitness, it is what forces us to be obsessed with the scale, our flaws, hyper self-consciousness of our bodies, and how we look.

    As you can imagine, NONE of this is very fruitful when it comes to reaching our goals and feeling satisfied once we get there. Or even accepting who we are as we work to change.

    Well, today’s podcast is going to help you to start to move past this.
