VOTE 11/03/2020

VOTE It’s Election Day 2020, and nothing is more important today than voting so your voice will be heard! I used to be a half-ass educated voter, but the 2016 election changed all of that for me. After that, I could no longer be one of the silent privileged with my head stuck in the sand. /episode/index/show/find-your-feisty/id/16606802

My Body Image Breakthrough, Part 3 When you are confident in who you are and what you want, you’ll show up differently, and I was 36 years old before I felt that kind of whole, with nothing I needed to fix or change about myself. /episode/index/show/find-your-feisty/id/16575356

I'm Still Standing 07/07/2020

I'm Still Standing This year started out rough for me, and it got worse with all that’s happening for everyone. But as the song says, “I’m still standing, better than I ever did.” I know so many other people are struggling, too, so I’m acknowledging that it’s not always rosy, easy, or pretty, and I see you.

My Body Image Breakthrough, Part 2 04/02/2020

My Body Image Breakthrough, Part 2 In the previous episode, I shared how my body image nightmare began, what I made it all mean, and how I kept myself small as protection from disappointment, criticism, and life. This week, you’ll hear where I started looking for confidence – I didn’t have much of it inside myself, so I began by looking outside myself. /episode/index/show/find-your-feisty/id/13805870

My Body Image Breakthrough, Part 1 03/17/2020

Vulnerability Hangover 03/04/2020

Vulnerability Hangover If you’ve been hiding because you’re afraid of being judged or ridiculed, then let me tell you: When this podcast was shared widely on social media by a big-name brand, I felt joy and happiness ... and complete terror. /episode/index/show/find-your-feisty/id/13402151

Free Jeans Freakout 02/18/2020

Free Jeans Freakout Getting a free pair of jeans might be good news for most people, but for me? Yeah, I freaked out! My mind started running around like a 2-year-old with a machete – untamed, unchecked, and dangerous – but I got it back on track (and disarmed!) by asking a few thoughtful questions. And then… 😊 /episode/index/show/find-your-feisty/id/13188515

What Feels Like Love 02/04/2020

What Feels Like Love When I was introduced to the concept of “What feels like love?”, it blew me away. For a very long time, what felt like love to me was food. Food stopped being nourishment and became comfort and love. For me, food was survival … it was numbing the pain and hiding. Now what feels like love are forgiveness, compassion, patience, and kindness – all directed toward myself. Listen to this episode for more on that plus another powerful question to help you get unstuck. /episode/index/show/find-your-feisty/id/13006562

Screw Jillian Michaels 01/22/2020

Screw Jillian Michaels I'm super fired up about Jillian Michael's shaming of Lizzo, and I'm super supportive of women who are ready to ignore that kind of b.s. from the diet industry and start doing things their own way. There's more to losing weight than "Eat less, move more" when shame is at the heart of the matter -- and I would know; I've been there. So listen in for some shameless ideas on how to approach your life (and, yes, your weight) in 2020. /episode/index/show/find-your-feisty/id/12836912

A New Year's Manifesto 01/01/2020

Invest in Yourself 12/24/2019

Invest in Yourself When you invest in yourself – whether you’re investing time, attention, energy, or all three – the payback is immeasurable. My $45 investment in a 4-hour class led to a 4-figure investment in a months-long training that changed my life, my work, and my relationships forever. /episode/index/show/find-your-feisty/id/12518489

The Power of Gratitude 11/12/2019

The Power of Gratitude Many years ago, someone gave me a Gratitude Journal. At first, I didn’t fully understand what it was for or what to do, but I went on and gave it a try. Little did I know that my life was about to implode and that this gratitude practice would help me more than I could have ever imagined. Listen in for how gratitude helped me through that difficult time, the good things it can do for your body, and how it stops anxiety in its tracks. /episode/index/show/find-your-feisty/id/11997344

Hustling for My Worthiness 10/29/2019

Hustling for My Worthiness When I had a corporate job, there were days that I worked from 7 a.m. to midnight for months. I accumulated time off, but my boss discouraged using it – a vicious cycle, and I was the fastest hamster on that Wheel of Insanity. Now I know better and have my own business, yet I can still be worn down by beliefs that cause me to doubt myself and feel less than I am. Listen in for the simple solution that brought good sense and good feelings to my hot ass mess of a week! /episode/index/show/find-your-feisty/id/11814257

Not My Finest Moment 10/15/2019

Not My Finest Moment This wasn’t my finest moment, but I want to share it with you because it’s a good reminder that we never have any idea of what is going on within other people. Unless they tell us, we simply don’t know. So, be kind. /episode/index/show/find-your-feisty/id/11616599

The Art of Letting Go 10/01/2019

The Art of Letting Go Let’s talk about letting stuff go! I used to be an emotional hoarder – I held on to grudges and clung to feelings and relationships that were clearly dead. I wasted so much time! I’ve learned that letting go of pain, forgiving myself and others, and being willing to move forward have been the best paths for me. /episode/index/show/find-your-feisty/id/11471036

Anniversary, Connection & a Funeral 09/17/2019

Anniversary, Connection & a Funeral How do you want to be remembered? For making the most money? Paying all your bills on time? Making partner faster than anyone else? Driving the nicest car? Or for something different…? Apparently my generous, kind and quiet neighbor aimed for that “something different.” I showed up for his funeral, so he wouldn’t be alone, and, well … he wasn’t. And what was said about him during the service was so wonderful, I pulled out my phone in church to jot it down and keep for later. Listen in for more. /episode/index/show/find-your-feisty/id/11292728

Back to School 09/03/2019

Back to School Today is the first day of school in my neck of the woods, and I’ve been thinking about what I might tell my nieces and nephews as they go back to school. Here is the list I made for my loved ones, from Ask Questions and Be Bold to NO Cheating and Stop Competing. There are some valuable reminders for parents, too, plus 8 small words that can make a big difference. /episode/index/show/find-your-feisty/id/11065850

Accountability, Apologies & Forgiveness 08/20/2019

Accountability, Apologies & Forgiveness Today I want to talk about accountability, apologizing, and forgiveness – or, as I like to call it, my Moving Forward Magic – because as humans, we have to navigate these three things on a regular basis to get through life. If we fail at any one of them, the house of cards comes crumbling down! /episode/index/show/find-your-feisty/id/10925595

Be Too Much 08/06/2019

Be Too Much For my whole life, I’ve been told that I am too much: too loud, too big, too smart, too bossy, too mouthy, too blonde, too freckly. It hurt so badly that I started wanting to be smaller – physically and figuratively. But I’m just not a small person. /episode/index/show/find-your-feisty/id/10790090

Change the Inside and the Outside Will Follow 07/23/2019

Change the Inside and the Outside Will Follow In the 7+ years that I’ve been a life coach, I’ve found one thing to be absolutely true – if you change the inside, the outside will follow. Part of my new thinking came from quotations I’ve heard or seen which gave me hope and kept me going. /episode/index/show/find-your-feisty/id/10620935

Don't Judge Me 07/10/2019

Don't Judge Me If judging were a full-time job, we would alllllll be billionaires. But being judgmental doesn’t pay; it costs you, instead. Judging creates drama and damages our connections to friends, family, and coworkers ... but being supportive of other people’s decisions (even when we don’t agree with them) gives everyone a chance to feel great! /episode/index/show/find-your-feisty/id/10446989

Feel the Suck 06/25/2019

Feel the Suck Some days are hard, some days are amazing, and some days just plain suck. And when we don’t allow ourselves to feel the suck – or allow other people who are having a sucky time to feel theirs – well, that just piles on more suck. /episode/index/show/find-your-feisty/id/10279193

Everything I Do Is Courage 06/12/2019

Everything I Do Is Courage When I look back, I see that everything good that’s ever come to me has been a result of being courageous, and with that courage was its sidekick, vulnerability. I wasn’t raised to be comfortable with vulnerability – quite the opposite! – but with learning and practice, now I embrace it. /episode/index/show/find-your-feisty/id/10128047

Manage the Panic 05/27/2019

Manage the Panic Do you find yourself reacting with panic to things that haven't happened – and may never happen? Have you noticed that you instantly jump to the worst conclusions before you have all the facts? Listen in to hear about my letter from the IRS that felt like the end of the world (and wasn't), why I think we freak out first and ask questions later, and how to manage your mind so you can meet life's little surprises with the feelings you WANT to feel – such as peacefulness, happiness, and joy. /episode/index/show/find-your-feisty/id/9941861
