“Because the female body is so, so sensitive to stress, especially in perimenopause and menopause, we need to support it the right way, not only during the fast, but before the fast. And that means supporting your body with the correct amount of protein, the correct amount of nutrients. And then during the fast, I actually encourage small snacks throughout the day because there's research out there that shows that as long as we keep our calories less than 500 and we're still getting all the benefits of the intermittent fasting, but we're keeping our blood sugar stable because as you know,...

“Just like anything in life, if we want something, we get to decide. I think it's all perspective and this is where I tie in the mindset component of the work with my clients is it's all around empowered decisions. So when we think I couldn't do that because I'd have to give up X, Y and Z, we take our power away, right? Instead of being like, well, what's possible, could it be possible, what would it look like? Has anybody else ever done this with kids balance, this lifestyle with kids because I did it in college and it's the same with my stepdad. It was really just I didn't see what was...

“I really like to focus on balancing blood sugar and that in itself can help fix waking up in the night. It can help fix the brain fog with the belly fat and it is a big transition and I like to work with just like women eating three meals a day and really like making those that breakfast, that lunch and that dinner, like, very substantial, but having a little bit of fasting time and fasting overnight as well. However, I know that change isn't the easiest to do and I think that is one of the hardest things, there's no magic pill that we can take to make things easy. And as we start to see...

“It’s been a slow progression and I just have to keep reminding myself, I have so much shit that's been buried within because I didn't deal with that for 35 years. I have to slowly unpeel the layers back and not feeling shame or guilt around putting myself in this position because sometimes people can think, well, God, I just put myself into position. It's funny when we start to listen to the conversations we have with ourselves and how cruel we can be with ourselves. And it's just in just being gentle with ourselves and noticing the thought and letting it go and being okay.” In this...

"Most of the time when people are in my sphere, you know, they're basically having trouble with weight loss.

“The worst thing we can do and people do this is to be antagonistic and fight and complain and argumentative with them about it, which people do, and then take that home and rant about it at Facebook groups and the spouse and then lash out their kids. Because here's what I'm going to say, is that you're the one losing. At the end of the day, it's not them, and you're only going to feel worse because guess what really got you sick in the first place probably is all the psychological stress you've had in your life and then you're just reinforcing it. So like it's always going to be about...

“I really believe that we will always follow through with who we believe that we are and we'll never be able to do something that is inconsistent with our identity. So, if you don't believe you're the kind of person who would X, Y, Z, your brain's not even going to question if you can or not, because that's not who I am. So, whenever I'm working with someone, for example, I'm always making sure that whatever the changes I help create, whether it's from anxiety to confidence or whatever, the happiness, like whenever I help them get that result, we make sure that that becomes a part of their...

“At the end of the year, I always sit and I think, what am I most grateful for? And you know, what's crazy is I was most grateful for the worst moments. because I could see how I processed myself through them. And I could see such huge growth like, I could just see and it made me proud of how you had navigated them. And so, yeah, I really just think it's every single thought that I have. Is just let's uncover what this is, because when I can, then I can propel forward.

“You have the ability to build your business in a way that is going to support your needs and we're just creatives, right? And so we love to learn, we love to create and so you have to have that support staff and such that that will allow that to happen. Which is such a beautiful thing to work for ourselves because we can build it out however it is that we want to fit in our life versus trying to fit a like a round peg into or square whatever, into a round hole or whatever that whole scene is. Because I know that when I was working for somebody else, that's how I felt every day was like, I...
info_outline“Now when it comes to a problem, we're going to talk about a couple of problems here. But we as women, we tend to think that if we exercise more and eat less, that this is going to be the answer to our problem, which is hanging on to weight, so on and so forth. But really all this does is it creates more hunger, low energy cravings, weight gain, and then you just keep repeating the cycle over and over. It's literally like a method for suffering. So if you're doing this, this is not going to work. If it does work for you and if it has worked for you, it will work for a very short amount of time and then you have to cycle out of it. You cannot stay in this type of a phase for long periods of time.”
