How do you deal with stress?
We all have our 'outs'....food, wine, social media, shopping...
But when that 'out' becomes bigger, it an overshadow our lives.
I see alot of women 'check out' with food, a common distractor.
We use it as a 'reward' after a long day. Or as a fill in when we are bored. Or worse yet, we use food to feel good, because after all, the sensory rewards are instantaneous.
I used to be one of those girls, in my 20's, for sure. Until I redefined my goals and what I wanted for my body, and my life.
It didn't happen overnight. I had a lot of slip ups. A LOT! But eventually, the 'good habits' side won out, simply through me going back in and trying again, asserting myself again.
See, there is no failure, only 'failing forward'. Because that is how you learn.
"A new habit takes 21 days to instill in your brain'. Hogwash. I've seen women circle the drain for YEARS. So what's going on?
A belief system that is lying deep inside, which we often cover with 'that's just the way I am.' Or "I have no willpower'. Or "It works for awhile, and then it all falls away."
It's not your fault. You don't know what you don't know. You're not an expert in metabolism, or cognitive restructuring, or in a massive life reset, right?
It takes time, leadership and commitment, and the proper strategy, is all. Anyone can do it. You can too. You just need to stop trying harder and try differently.
Find a long term program with tons of support and a great community, run by a woman who has walked the walk and is where you want to be, because she most certainly knows the way.
So stop beating yourself up. If you knew how to fix it by now, you would have, right? No one wants to live with a start over evry few months. No woman wants to continue to circle the drain year after year, hoping the next diet, the next kick-ass workout program or the next food app will solve it for her.
It won't. Because the answer isn't 'out there'.
It's inside.
And that's the good news!
Life is stressful. And that likely won't ver change, either. But with the perfect eating plan and exercise program, you can maneuver around the stressful times easily, and they won't knock you down or steal your motivation ever again. That's called re-wiring our brains, ladies!
Food, Movement, Mindset baby! That's what it's all about!

I originally went to Karen because of a food and weight issue. Karen did not give me a diet plan, rather, she went straight into Empowerment Coaching, knowing that the food addiction and excess weight were not the problem. They were merely symptoms of deeper
stuff. Karen knew this right away.
I had been to several therapists, and while helpful, I still felt stuck like something wasn’t quite right. But I couldn’t put my finger on it. Karen just took me to that next level, where it’s like “OK, this is it. I got it!” I was intellectualizing my ‘stories’, and Karen
helped me see them from a fresh perspective, which was key for me. I realized I was trying to brush my stories and challenges aside for years, thinking “I should be able to get over this”, but I never really did. Within a few sessions with Karen, I started having breakthroughs. I feel like I have been let out of prison! I feel light! And now, I have a healthy relationship with food, and I don’t use it to calm me down or soothe my pain
anymore!
Karen is very easy to talk to, and her own life story and challenges allows her to really be able to relate to me and my life. Karen has been an immense help to me! Thank you Karen!”

So if you feel stuck in your food prison and your body prison, if you are looking for real sustainable change that will have you living from the highest you possible, book a call with me.
Because like Lynn and hundreds of other women I have helped transform over my 30+ years, you most likely need to make that ‘shift’ too, to move you out of those old stories us women live by, and allow you to build and live in a body you love and trust,
with meal planning that is easy, and age gracefully and beautifully, in all your splendor, the way you were meant to live. And it's not something you can do on your own (it's kinda my specialty, and separates me from all the other trainers and 'life coaches' out there).
It’s time to shine, not just for yourself, but for your family, too!
They will love the new you, and be thankful that you put yourself first this time!
Let's stop the struggle and get you to where you have been striving for all these years! Let's make you shine! Can you imagine, what it would look like and feel like to truly shine...in a beautiful, lean body, living within a
beautiful life?
It's not hard, really. It's invigorating and freeing!
And then everything flows from there...beautifully and easily.
You'll see! I Promise!
Book that call!
Today and every day is YOUR day to shine!
It's your time.....
XO.
