“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” -Viktor E. Frankl This week’s episode is the last of the four part series all about freedom - whatever that means to you. I do a deep dive on the Viktor Frankl quote – who speaks on freedom in his book, Man’s Search For Meaning after surviving a Nazi concentration camp, and how this applies to you today. For this week, I challenge you to do the 5 a...

This week I jump right into talking about our freedom to create a feeling without having to actually do, be or have the thing we think will give us the feeling. I talk about the freedom of buying bigger clothes and the freedom of not caring what size things actually are. Are you too preoccupied with superficial things that you’re missing out on the freedom of being comfortable? Starting to dissipate the energy and emotion around food, your body, the hyper-focus and the negativity will begin to b...

This week’s focus on freedom has to do with giving yourself freedom and permission to feel the feelings you want to feel without waiting for a certain “time” in the future. We all think that x or y needs to be “achieved” before we can feel the feelings that we want, and it simply isn’t the case. I’m talking about things that nurture your feelings of freedom, peace, calm and space. How you can feel freedom, create it and how it exists within you and is always available to you. We spend so much en...

In this episode is delving into the topic of freedom and what freedom really means to me. I talk self-control, idealizing and fantasizing about freedom, what my earliest goals as a human were, and how freedom can both cripple you and set you free. I get into the power struggle that lies in a mere moment of fear vs. freedom. Can someone make you feel a certain way? Do you let it happen? Are you giving your power away with each interaction or can you claim back your freedom? I discuss how the key ...

This episode is a call to you FitMama to dive into your frustration, anger or resentment towards others (okay, maybe towards yourself) and peel back the layers to see where you may in fact not be honoring others at all because you’re not honoring you. We so often think we are “doing everything for everyone,” or it “always goes this way,” but we don’t see the role we play in the whole event. I teach you the new LBD in this episode: This new LBD will have you strutting your stuff, living a life yo...

This week I go into discussing details of your default setting. Most of us are set to a negative as an adaptation in life to keep us feeling safe. Want something new? Set a new default mode. You can reprogram what you are seeing each day by choosing different things to notice and focus on. I talk Self-Medication to Self-Meditation and self-compassion that is needed to break through the blocks to feeling your best. Join us in the FitMama Facebook Group as we are doing a 14 day #JournalingChalleng...

FitMama, this week, I talk about your thoughts, words, behaviours, desires and what you really deserve…and why you crave the opposite of what you say you want. Tune in for this clarifying message to yourself about what you really do deserve, at then end of a long day. After doing everything for everyone else. How do you treat yourself? Treat – is it a food/drink/bath/night out and does it feel GOOD? I have some funny stories in this one, like explaining “Pussy” to my 6 and 8 year old daughters, ...

This week on the FitMama Podcast, I am introducing you to one of my all time favourite people, the Pain Freedom Expert herself, Janna Arsenault. Janna has been a literal godsend to me and there was a time I didn’t think I would ever get over my back pain caused by an injury from a weak core that I wasn’t taking care of or protecting properly in a time of need (postpartum). What was even deeper than the physical pain, was the emotional pain that bubbled to the surface during this dark time in my ...

What does emotional fitness look like? Do you think you are emotionally fit? I do an investigation into what this means for me, and how this is connected to our daily experience. Whether we go to the gym or not, or fuel our bodies well more depends on our emotions and mindset and how we approach each moment we enter into. Often we are in our heads about what things should and shouldn’t look like and we think and act in the past or future, giving little mind to the present. Are you stressed, havi...

FitMama, we have all been there before when we know something needs to get done, but we find everything else BUT that to do. Now, I want to clarify, I live by the statement that time you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted time, so enjoy it!! But identify where it is enjoyment for enjoyments sake or where is it procrastination and avoidance? I share some food for thought that will get you digging deeper into what really matters to you so you can stop procrastinating and get what you want to get done DON...

She has brought the latest autism science and research into her most important role to help not only her own daughter diagnosed with severe autism, but also to parents across the world who need the information she shares.

In today’s episode I talk about what happens when you restrict yourself from your natural desires. Often a heightened desire follows a period of restriction and can have negative lasting effects. “Get in the Grey” is the Love FitMama Way. If it suits you and your personality to restrict without rebound, (it’s a small percentage of “upholders” according to Gretchen Rubin) and it works then YAY! However, most of our lifestyle habits don’t work that way and giving up sugar or carbs or whatever FORE...

On every level what’s happening around you is happening within you. This is the Work IN to your workout, so if you are not working out, what is going on within? I talk about the feedback look of Feeling and Thinking over and over…and where it gets you. Feel clutter in every corner? Maybe your mind or body feel cluttered, weighed down, tired and overwhelmed.

This week I challenge you to look at your goals and decide what about them is contributing to you NOT following through. Sometimes we set goals that aren’t meaningful and DON’T motivate us at all. One of the hardest things for people is to repeat a goal they already achieved following the same method as a time in the past. “Last time is NOT this time.” I share how to carry out meaningful goals by following my 3 level structure: For a MINIMUM of 9-12 weeks. Find a meaningful goal and create: Rout...

FitMama, this episode is a loving nudge in the direction of honoring you and creating daily habits that bring you peace, grounding and strength. Consistency in our desirable habits can be suspect when we have a million things on our plate and others to tend to day and night – which feels like the norm as a FitMama. The anchoring habits I talk about in this episode will shed some light on simplifying your goal setting and increasing your level of “goal getting.” What habits set you on your desire...

This episode is some loving, right to the point talk about how the things we think about and talk about most can be debilitating to our progress or happiness. We tend to tell stories (tales of woe) over and over or claim, “I am so busy!” and then hope focusing on that makes it somehow magically go away. We have a choice to consider a new narrative in our heads. I share how tapping into the heart and it’s elevated emotions can get us out of the cloudy head talk and into feeling good RIGHT NOW. Ho...
