Well, hello there, welcome back.

Today's topic is one that I feel like I touch on in a lot of episodes, but today I'm putting it all together

in one way for you to hopefully shift the way that you're thinking.

Obviously I talk a lot about nutrition and workouts and mental health but

mindset is a really really big one as well. The topic today was

actually bred out of some experiences I had this last week. So at the beginning of

the week I was on Ashley Horner's podcast and I kind of shared my thoughts on food and fitness and a couple other things that we have experienced and it kind of got me thinking and then later in the week we had the youth group, like the girls, the youth group from my church come over and I taught them about nutrition.

And something I was explaining to them was this cycle of nutrition and exercise and self-esteem and body image and how they all affect each other and I was telling them,

Most of the time with my clients with adult women I am still trying to get them to shift the way they are viewing these things because that is actually where we see changes naturally and we stop forcing those changes because the changes actually feel good and it's not out of negativity.

So as I had a conversation with them, I was like, oh my gosh, I need to put this into a podcast.

And so that is why I am. I need to put this into a podcast.

And so that is why I am here today talking about this. So I'm super excited.

I really want you to think during this as I talk about,

I'm going to break down some thoughts about nutrition. I'm going to break down some thoughts about nutrition

I'm going to break down some thoughts about exercise and body image and self-esteem

and I really want you to think about what you are thinking about these things and then how you can adjust that.

I think that is going to be the most important key for you.

And I can honestly say that I am just like anyone else I am still adjusting the way I think
