We’re the only ones that can create our health. The problem is that we don’t know that we know that.

I remember always looking to others to tell me what to eat and how to exercise, what to do when, and how.

What I realised was all the weight loss plans, no matter how good they were, were really just that, a plan. An off the shelf solution, a one size fits all that at the end of the day really didn’t fit into my life: who I was, what I wanted to do, how I wanted to do it.

It was like being given a hiking map that tells me what path to follow through the forest and up to the top of the mountain. It tells me the path to take, but not the obstacles I’d have to overcome along the way to be able to reach my destination.

And that was really the problem that had to be solved, was how to overcome the plethora of obstacles associated with weight loss.

So I developed a process, a system, which resolves the obstacle of overcoming the obstacles.

10 years later, that...

Did you know that having a great-fitting bra actually helps you lose weight?

Watch today's interview with Janine Hunter to find out how and how Janine is actually transforming the minds of women and changes live through the work that she does.

Sam Altman said: "Hard work compounds like interest, and the earlier you do it, the more time you have for the benefits to pay off."

Why do we put off losing weight? Why do we avoid facing the truth about our weight and that it’s time to take care of ourselves and live our life free from the hours a day that thinking about our weight and body takes up?

Because we all think that losing weight is hard work.

If that quote from Sam Altman read: “Taking consistent and persistent action compounds like interest, and the earlier you do it, the more time you have for the benefits to pay off” you’d get a different vision in your mind wouldn’t you?

That’s really the secret to losing weight and indeed achieving any goal in life, consistency and persistency in deciding what you need to do to get you where you want to go and then making a plan to do it, scheduling it in to your mind and then taking the action and implementing.

How To Overcome Weight Loss...

Talking with Pete Schonbeck is so easy; it’s like chatting with an old friend. He’s funny, relaxed with an easy sense of humour and view of life and business that’s simply infectious.

The interesting thing about Pete is he doesn't see obstacles. What he does see is opportunities to stretch and grow and that provides him with the perspective that everything is just a bit of an adventure. Whether it’s moving to other countries to work for larger than life fashion labels or transitioning from his long career in fashion and following the family footsteps. into his own business where he helps others to overcome their business obstacles.

Pete likes to cross pollinate perspectives and long standing solid business practices across a diverse range of business owners. Everyone from fashion students who are fresh out of uni and are facing the obstacles of not knowing what they don't know about business, through to established CEOs who want to overcome their business...

There are just so many things around you that can help you get into the state of happiness fast.

At any moment of any day, especially when life feels hard, pause and take a moment to remember something that makes you happy (keep it simple: puppies, birds, flowers, kids laughing, snuggling in your comfy bed perhaps).

Or simply look outside and see the real things that are there just waiting for you to enjoy them: the blue sky, a baby laughing, kids playing, the trees, the flowers, even the weeds that grow and flourish in the sidewalk can be beautiful if you think about how they grow to full bloom even in such harsh environments.

Think happy and you will look for happy things. Did you know that what you look for you normally find?

Feelings of happiness in your mind and body are the real secret to great health as they;
Change the way you think
Which changes the way you feel
Which changes the way you perceive what is happening around you
Which changes the way you react

A Fool Proof Way To Achieve Easy Change Over 365 Days.

When we think about making changes, we often procrastinate because we think of change as 'challenging', 'daunting', 'uncomfortable' or we just plain dread it.

We think we have to give up something to gain something and we're not always keen on giving up things we've grown attached to, even if they're things that no longer serve us in helpful, healthy or happy ways.

So imagine if you could simply allow yourself to out grow it?

Out growing stuff is easy right?

You've been doing it your whole life.

You've outgrown:
Santa
The tooth fairy
Sucking your thumb
Being scared of the dark
Toys you've loved
Friends from childhood
Friends from school
People you used to work with
Neighbours you no longer live next too
Groups you're no longer involved with
Schedules you've lived by
Having someone look after you
Playground scuffles
Being upset with your friend for having their lunch with someone else
The fashion you wore in the 80's
The hairstyle you had when...

We had amazing conversation about decluttering, and contrary to popular belief, it’s not just a one-time thing. We also did a deep dive into our relationship to the things we own and why we keep the things we have.

Lauren says: “We weren’t born organised, these are skills we have to learn, and regardless of how you grew up, your organisational skills are an individual thing”

One of the biggest obstacles that Lauren had to overcome was letting the relationship she had with her mother go. Gathering up the courage and wisdom to sever the maternal cord and relationship with her mum and embracing the fact that it was the best thing she could have done for herself, her health, her family, her happiness, and her life.
She gives 3 tips for anyone else who feels they need to release someone from their life voluntarily.

Among her many clients, Lauren works with people who have neuro diversities such as Tourette’s, ADHD, and autism. Lauren helps all her clients to...

I remember when I first read that quote many many years ago, it shocked me as I hadn’t really thought about it in that way.

I struggled with my weight for a quarter of a century and I was ashamed and bewildered that I kept regaining the weight time and time again.

I didn’t understand back then that what I really needed wasn't another weight loss program what I needed was help to overcome the weight loss obstacles I had so I could lose the weight and keep it off.

Finally, in 2011, I developed a program to overcome those obstacles so I could change the habits and behaviours I wanted to change so I could lose weight my way and lose it for life.

I recently heard of a weight-loss plan that combines daily injections of a hormone that’s released during pregnancy and is extracted from the urine of pregnant women.

Along with the daily injections you can only eat 500 calories a day.

The cost of the hormone is nearly $1500 for a 5 week supply and the weight loss really comes from the highly restricted caloric intake and apparently the hormone doesn’t assist with the weight loss or reducing appetite.

Among some of unpleasant short term potential side effects of the hormone are stomach pain and swelling, severe pelvic pain and shortness of breath. While some of the long term side effects include fatigue, depression, and possible blood clots along with….weight gain!

Although I never did this particular diet, I did do some crazy diets over the quarter of a century that I yo yo dieted, I always seemed to be trying to manipulate my body using some weight loss strategy that would trick it into giving up the fat and...

In this week’s podcast, I had the great pleasure to talk to Ingrid Galloway who shares with me 2 of her biggest obstacles in life that she’s had to overcome: leaving Indonesia to move to Australia and 10 years later finally leaving an abusive relationship after 3 failed attempts.

The interesting thing about Ingrid is she sees all of life's events as opportunities for growth and can shares great wisdom, along with 3 helpful tips for anyone who is trying to leave a domestic violent relationship.

Ingrid has been a relationship coach for 13 years now and works with couples before and after marriage as well as couples coaching for people who are in their first relationships and about to move in together. But what I really love about Ingrid’s work is that she works with broken-hearted singles.

Grab yourself a cuppa and enjoy today's episode.
