What keeps you awake at night?
What problem do I solve?
The answer to both boils down to what inspires me most about this role: the privilege of a front-row seat, as someone becomes more of the person they want to become.
Generally, that is not what you ask for though. You ask to be healthy. You ask to feel better, more confident in your body. You ask for a more organized plan. One that works... You ask because you want hope. You want support. You want a life where you are naturally healthy. Where you no longer have to diet. And you want your children to be healthy. To not inherit your struggle. For all these reasons you are here... willing to try. Again.
Here's the catch... When you envision "more" for your life, your dream is not to be skinny, broke and bored. And when we uncover your triggers they are bigger than pizza, chips and sweets. You are not the problem here.

It's just that weight loss, in any form, is about the size you want
to become, not the person. And so it misses the mark.
We fix that. Your weight. Your body as a whole. Your life. Your finances. They are ALL your health. They ALL intersect with your dreams and your habits. They each affect the other.
How would a healthier body and finances ease your life? And so we get intentional about it ALL.
It must be rocket science, as I've never seen it done. But think about it. Food and money are two sides of one coin. Short-term gratification versus long-term goals. Consumption to fill a hole that never gets full. Access at every drive-up window and credit card offer. Powerful marketing galore. Both necessities we cannot avoid. Both, when aligned with an intentional life direction, offer the capacity to - not solely - but profoundly benefit our lives.
Fortunately, they get addressed the same way too. How convenient is that? We look at where you are now and where you want to be. We anticipate obvious triggers, explore
what energizes you and discuss how to surround yourself with inspiration, long term.
Once these foundational "bookends" are in place we go to work. With a food plan. With a money plan. With a what-else-will-bring-me-satisfaction-in-life plan. We align your priorities and habits, with the person you want to become. And along the way we celebrate wins, strategize new situations, learn from detours - and show gratitude for the ride.
I have never experienced a completely shame-free zone from any other weight loss coach, dietitian, physician, personal trainer or natural health practitioner... this matters more than anything else. Even though I'm also in love with the whole approach and products. Hope S. |
