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. Their schedules are jam-packed, their to-do lists are 10 miles long, and overwhelm has become a way of life. 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.

“I don’t have time.” “It’s not a good time.” “It will be a better time when______.” Sound familiar?

In nearly every conversation I have had with someone considering hiring me, there are a few sentences I almost always hear. One of those being, “Courtney, I just feel stuck.” I have built a knack for helping women get unstuck along their health journey and in today’s episode, I am going to introduce the “getting unstuck” formula that I teach every client I work with. If you find this episode helpful, please share it with a woman who you think could benefit. You can listen here: https://graceandg...

Over the course of my career, I have taught my clients a lot of skills sets to help them with behavior change, but the skill I address in this week’s episode is really the only one they will ever need to up-level their health or any arena of their life.

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 importanc...

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 ...

Transforming your life isn’t simply a matter of taking action, it is about taking the RIGHT actions. And not just any action, but action that moves you in a direction. Not all actions are equally as effective in helping to move the needle of progress.

When to quit a particular action. … and so much more. You can ...

I help my clients rumble more gracefully with the parts of their life that feel misaligned so they can stop eating and drinking and Netflix-ing in an attempt to avoid them. And while I wish every client I work with would share their story publicly, I understand that not all of them want to. Much to my delight, however, Patti Ziegler did. I have had the privilege of working with Patti 1:1 for 6 months and in this interview, she shares a bit of what she’s learned, how she’s changed, and why she i...

Summer has arrived here in North America and with it comes travel, barbeques, camping trips, and opportunity to disrupt our everyday routines. And saying YES to these things can be so incredibly beneficial to your health.

When we talk about physical health we often hear references made to the cardiovascular system, the muscular system, the nervous system, and the digestive system, but what about the lymphatic system? Are we hearing enough about that? My guest today, Lisa Gainsley, would say “no” we are not, which is why she recently authored “The Book of Lymph: Self-Care Practices to Enhance Immunity, Health, and Beauty”.

There are a lot of things that contribute to the “health” of a human. And, yet, we are often sold measures for improving our health that isolate parts of our humanness. If you want to lose weight, focus on physical health. If you have depression or anxiety, focus on mental health. If you are struggling in your relationships, focus on that. But can you achieve a deep state of health by separating the dimensions of health in this way? I would argue no. Treating 1 dimension of health in isolation i...

You are a dynamic thing, constantly evolving and forever changing. Which means the state of your health is dynamic too. Wellness culture treats health as a binary thing. You either have it or you don’t. But there is a wide space in between worth considering.

Health does not grow in negligent, hostile or toxic places, which the mind can certainly become without proper attention and direction. If you aren’t exerting consistent daily effort to keep your mindset in a place that promotes grace, resilience, and perseverance any goals you achieve will be very short-lived. Managing the mind is single-handedly the most powerful thing a woman could do to improve her health AND it is the most lacking element in most health and wellness programs. In this episod...

Several years ago I created a FREE five day program called #five2thrive that women are still downloading and reaping value from today. That video series introduces the 5 key elements that I think are paramount to improving health: sleep, hydration, nutrition, movement, and mindset. But there is one other element, I wish I had added to that list. Community. Ladies, we are communal creatures. We aren’t meant to do hard things alone. So, this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast is to remind you abo...

Is it just me or does it feel like “weight loss” is the loudest conversation in the women’s health arena? It drives me nuts! Why? For a few reasons: A woman’s weight doesn’t really tell you a damn thing about the state of her health. Health is so much more than how much weight a woman carries on her body. Even if excess weight on a woman’s body is causing health challenges, the answer is not as simple as weight loss. In this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, I share two topics that really def...
