When are are attempting to lose weight / build health, and you are in struggle and suffering around it -  'this is hard, I might fail, I'm missing out, I want real food', you are operating from your EGO. 

When you do another google search, sign up for another diet, cross your fingers and hope this time it'll work...

You're operating from Ego. 

See, ego is not bad. Your ego is the device that we navigate the world with…it has an identity, a sense of how the world works. It is your psyche. But the challenge is that it does NOT want to change. that is how it is built (this is a survival mechanism only), hence why 95% of the people will lose the weight and then gain it all back within 6-18 months.

And this is why most people self sabotage their goals, because their beliefs, which are mostly unconscious, ar running the show? That's right, it's your unconscious stuff! Crazy, right? 

Hence the 'I know what to do but I'm just not doing it' I often hear from women who are exhausted by the constant struggle to get their bodies back. But you don't know because it's unconscious.

The unlimited part of you is your Soul, your Essence.....physicists call it Infinite field. Yes, it is a 'thing'. 

When you’re operating from your Soul Power, you make decisions for you, you are grounded and clear, your energy is high, and all of life's commitments take on an excitement of their own. You feel committed because it feels good! You are now living from your Authentic self. You are living from an Expanded state!

The Wounded Self is where we live in a Contracted state...fear, blame, excuses, procrastination, and life defines our level of health and excitement. the external world is running the show, because we feed off of it...and what defines the majority of our world these days? Fear, blame, complaining, mainstream garbage, competition, etc etc.

So how are we EVER going to build a healthy body and healthy habits when we come from this unhealthy energy?

We can't. And we can't simply 'override' it, because we are wired into this place from EGO. It's unconscious. It's dormant, but oh so powerful!

I learned about EGO when my son was diagnosed. My world fell apart. My body and health fell apart, for years. Everyone saw us as victims to his disease. 'Poor them poor you, how awful, pitiful', etc etc

I could not live from this energy. It was more destructive than my son's diagnosis. My body fell ill for many years...chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, digestion issues, mitochondrial challenges, low adrenal, bladder and thyroid function...

Then I decided to change. It was ME wanting more, to live a different life, to get out of the fear, frustration, anger and sadness that had enveloped my world. Because it was running my physical health into the ground as well, and I needed to get strong for my son (hence, why, in all my work, before I embark in a coaching / client relationship, I need to learn about YOU, your life, your challenges...because the body and spirit are connected...intimately)!

Enter, the SOUL work....

Many of you know my story, yes, and why I am so passionate about working with women in their physical bodies and transformations. Because when we love and move and feed our bodies well, we are giving back to our Essence, the very thing that we are meant to do. And this feeds our physical body.

My boy can no longer move his body. His muscles are turning to mush. But I stay strong in light of this process, because I made a decision. I made a commitment to my health, to stay strong, flexible, and caring for the very vessel that moves us through this life so I could live through the intense challenges that my family faces each and every day.

If I can do it, you can too.

My boy's vessel is changing, and with those changes, I find myself digging in more to my Soul energy, telling my Ego that it's OK to feel afraid or sad, because that is part of being human. But the difference is I no longer live there. My sad story is no longer living me. I am living a new story of promise, strength, healthy and self love.

What's this got to do with weight loss and a body transformation?

Everything. 

If you are operating from self loathing, feeling shame or guilt or anger or frustration...if you embark on another lose-the-weight-in-30-days promise and then fail down the road, it is not your body's fault.

It is not because of 'ageing' or 'my body is different'. It's not even so much because you have down played your metabolism (although this happens too, with every accumulated diet attempt), nor is it so much about ageing.

It is where you are operating from, your internal operating system.

What if you could operate from your Authentic Self versus your Wounded Self? What if you could 'see' your journey of building a healthy, lean, strong body as something cool, worthy, even exciting? And you don't lose this driving energy because it is now Who You Are?

And imagine how operating from THIS place, how it ripples out to your marriage, your sex life, your parenting, work, friendships?

It's all a choice. But it will be hard, if not impossible, to do it alone. I did, but it took me 30 years and TONS of experts and mentors and trial and error to get there.

But I got there. 

Many people pity us, in this journey called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Yes, it is hard, sad, frustrating and lonely. But it was my Gift that I leaned into, to learn to find and live a different way. And when I had to learn to build back my body and my health from the depths of disease and illness, through bouts of severe depression and anxiety, suicidal thoughts rummaging through my brain, the REAL ME rose up.

And I listened, I heard Her, I honoured her. I embraced the fear, the anger, the sadness.

I surrendered.....

And I forgave....

If you are stuck in a body or a life that you don't like, know that there IS a way to the Other Side.

I am there. Others are there. We are a small group, but we are mighty. And we are living our lives from Source energy, our Soul. Living and loving and moving and feeding our bodies well, because we chose a different way.

Please know this, if you are struggling with your body, your weight, how it looks and feels: your body is not deceiving you. It is still trying to do the best it can with the input you are providing. And this can change.

My boy's body is not deceiving him. It is simply doing the best it can given the circumstances, and every day, I am amazed at this young man and how he is committed to feeding his body every day, as best he can, with careful consideration to his physical well being, always trying to support his body with the nutrients and care it needs.

Book a call. I'm here. I've heard it all. I've lived it all. And I am flourishing while living in one of the toughest circumstances any parent can find herself in.

I live from Source. I am living from my Authentic Self. Maybe not all the time (yes I slip...it comes with the territory), but I am dedicated to my health and wellness now on all fronts, physically, nutritionally, mentally and spiritually.

It is the only way to live.
