Join me as we explore the difference between control and trust, and learn how to enhance your journey towards self-improvement and empowerment. Let's dive in!

Today's episode is all about my awesome trip to Costa Rica where I surfed with my husband for a whole week – trust me, it was amazing! But here's the cool part: I faced some big fears during the trip. No worries, I'm sharing all the exciting details about how I conquered those fears and how they relate to the challenges many of you might be dealing with in your fitness and life journeys. I realized that the fears I tackled on my vacation are pretty similar to what my clients go through when they start counting macros or working on personal growth. Fear is like that unwanted guest that just won't leave, right? And it can hold us back from reaching our goals. So, buckle up! I'm here to spill the beans on my Costa Rican adventure, share some personal stories, and give you valuable insights that I'm sure will resonate with all of you. Get ready for a fun and inspiring ride!

In this episode, I'm helping Desiree with celebrating—turning it into something real and doable in everyday life. Here's a tip: use "acknowledging" instead of "celebrating" to make it seem easier. Just like any skill, acknowledging yourself gets better with practice. So, join in, and let's get better at self-acknowledgment together!

For our second “Best Of 2023” episode, I am bringing back a previous episode focusing on the scale experience. In that episode, I discussed five key points to bear in mind, aimed at assisting you in approaching the scale with a more measured and less emotional perspective. The goal is to empower you to handle the data, coach yourself through the process, and navigate instances when the scale reflects an increase without succumbing to a negative emotional space.

I'm back with the "Best Of" series for the month of December. Just like the previous years, I'm going to highlight some great throwback episodes that are full of golden nuggets to help you in your journey. These episodes are great, and sometimes, it takes revisiting familiar concepts multiple times for them to stick.

For today's "Best Of" episode, I'd like to revisit Episode 266, where I delve into the concept of The 4 Phases Of Macro Counting. While many associate macro counting solely with weight loss, it serves a broader purpose. This podcast episode aims to broaden your perspective on macro counting as a versatile tool applicable in various contexts, weight loss being just one aspect. I explore the four phases of macro counting, detailing the occurrences in each phase and providing guidance on determining the suitable starting point for you. Join me in this flashback episode as we explore the multifaceted world of macro counting!
