Feeling unmotivated and drained? Head out on a coached walk with me, where we'll chat about practical hacks to banish fatigue and bring up your energy levels.

In this walking podcast episode, discover real-life tips to give you an energy boost, including:

It’s all about the burst: Experience the power of small bursts of movement throughout your day, letting those awesome endorphins—your body's natural happiness boosters—give you a renewed lease on life. Even brief moments can leave you feeling more energized and focused.

Hydration strategies: Say bye bye to fatigue with these simple hydration hacks to keep your energy flowing all day.

Smart snacking: Stop the sugar crash and embrace power snacks that fuel your day without the energy dip.

Recharge & refocus: Take a 5-minute recharge to reset your mind and body during the day.

Ditch the vampires: Who is the Colin Robinson in your life (energy vampires)? Who lifts you up? Why should you ditch the vampires and spend more time with the enhancer?

Healthy habits at work: Break free from the chair-induced energy slump with easy “no show” desk exercises.

The coffee secret: Get a surprising energy boost from a glass of cold coffee (caffeine, my true love) after a workout or walk.

These straightforward hacks, along with more tips, will make a big difference in your daily life, health, and energy levels.

This coached walk episode is the version with background walking music. If you prefer no background music, head over to episode 33B. Look out for the bell signaling the halfway point if you want to turn around.

Feeling overwhelmed, paralyzed, and can't get anything done? We all go through periods where life feels like a struggle and even the simplest tasks seem so hard. But there are ways to cope and make things easier.

This walking podcast episode (with background music) is full of practical tips to help you survive and thrive when you're unmotivated, including:

• Understanding why you're stuck: It's not laziness or lack of willpower. It's simply overwhelm, which zaps our energy and motivation.
• Practicing self-compassion: Be kind to yourself. Shame and self-criticism only make things worse. Instead, focus on accepting your feelings and realizing that where you are is exactly where you need to be right now. 
• Start small: Don't try to do everything at once. Begin with tiny, manageable tasks. 
• Making things easy: Use paper plates, make one-pot meals, and simplify.
• Being OK with imperfection: This is a no perfection zone. House not clean? Don't care. Just focus on getting through the day.
• Tuning into your body: Listen to your body's signals. The body knows.
• A physical thing: Sometimes, low energy and low motivation can be caused by a medical condition. 
• It’s good enough: Why right now, the best you can do is enough.

Additional Resources:

• Mel Robbins’ podcast, episode 100, with KC Davis: 10 Genius Hacks to Keep Your Home Organized (When Getting Out of Bed Is Hard)

This walking podcast episode has background walking music to keep you moving and grooving. If you prefer no music, check out episode 25B. There’s a bell at the halfway point so you can turn around. 

Slip on your sneakers and let's get fit.

The dream: Being healthy, strong, and happy in your own skin. 

Do you think that's possible? 
Do you think we will ever be happy with our bodies? 
Are we fit enough?
Curvy enough?
Young enough?

This episode dedicated to the power of self-love and confidence. In today's coached walk, we’ll chat about societal expectations surrounding body image, and how you can shift the focus to appreciating what your body can do rather than what it isn’t. 

Tweaking your thoughts to include gratitude is a huge step toward self love. 

Put on your walking shoes and head out with me (or, you can join me for an inside walk, too).  This is a coached walk and we'll chat about your feelings, discovering love for your body, and how finding something that lights you up inside might be the key you've been looking for -  while going for a walk and getting some stress relief.

Seeing things with a different set of eyes is not always easy, but you may walk away (pun intended) with a fresh perspective. 

I also share something fairly shocking I was told by a past boyfriend. What?? It was ugh. 

This walking podcast has background walking music to keep you moving to the beat. For a version with voice only, listen to episode 7B.
