Do you feel that mix of excitement and panic as summer rolls in?
Sure, we're all looking forward to a well-deserved break, but...
There's a nagging question keeping us up at night—
“How on earth am I going to keep everything running with the kids at home and no set routine?!”
Well, what if I told you that the freedom of summer and the inevitable change in routine could actually pave the way for something new, something even better?
See, the summer isn’t just a time-out; it's the perfect chance to shake things up.
It's your shot at becoming more adaptable and ready for anything—whether it's a holiday, a random day off, or any moment life decides it's time for us to dodge a wrench.
Now, I can almost hear you saying:
"That sounds great and all, but I'm seriously worried this is going to derail everything."
And the fear of everything spiraling out of control? It’s totally valid. Really, it is.
But that doesn’t mean it has to become your reality.
Heading into summer doesn’t mean you have to ditch everything and hope for the best.
The trick?
Identify those critical actions that set the stage for success and find ways to work them into your more fluid summer schedule.
Sounds easier said than done, I know.
That's why we're going to give you practical, actionable advice that will help keep you on track, no matter what the calendar throws at you.
So how do you turn this summer challenge into a golden opportunity? And how do you keep up your momentum when every day starts to feel like a never-ending Saturday?
Well, tune in, and let's find out how to turn flexibility into your superpower.

Do you want to get by, or do you want to get stronger?
What do I mean?
Okay, let's say you're determined to eat intentionally all day—from breakfast to bedtime. And you're totally on track until...
Ding!
You get a text from a friend:
"Wanna grab dinner tonight?"
Ugh! I mean, who doesn't want to hang out with friends? But you know the drill: appetizers, desserts, drinks. You can practically feel your day going off the rails.
So much for sticking to your plan, huh?
That last-minute invite—that's what we call a trigger. It's something that pops up that "triggers" an action, and it's usually an action we'd prefer not to do.
And we want to dodge triggers, don't we? 'Cause why slay the dragon when we can avoid it?
But what if that's not always the best strategy...
What if triggers aren't always the enemy?
And what if they're actually an opportunity to test the skills you've been working on?
Imagine being able to go out to dinner with friends while still being in 100% control.
Imagine proving to yourself that this change you’re working on—it’s actually sticking.
Wouldn't that feel amazing?
See—
When you start rolling with your triggers instead of avoiding them, you unlock a new level of self-control.
Because, let's be real, sooner or later, you've got to face them head-on. And ignoring them? It's like pretending a ticking time bomb isn't ticking.
And when you confront the triggers you'd rather avoid, you’re not just getting by—you’re getting stronger!
So let's learn to turn the tables on triggers and make them work for you.
Tune in, and let's make it happen.

Found yourself in the same spot again, haven't you?
There you are, glued to the couch, endlessly scrolling, as your gym clothes collect dust in the bedroom...
You finally snap out of it, check the time, and "Whoa!"—there goes an hour you’ll never get back.
And now? It's way too late to start anything productive.
That's when the inner critic chimes in:
"You swore you'd hit the gym today, and here you are. Seriously, what’s the point?"
You know the voice I'm talking about.
We've all got that inner critic who’s not only a pro at pointing out every slip-up but also loves to rub salt in the wound.
And you know what's even worse?
It constantly tries to convince us we're just not cut out for this and maybe it’s time to stop trying.
That critic isn’t very helpful, is it?
But it could be...
Like, what if the critic changed its tune?
What if, instead of repeating the tired old "I've screwed up again" mantra, it started tossing out some genuinely helpful questions?
Like this: "What got in my way this time?"
Or: "What was the first domino that set off this whole chain reaction?"
Even better, what if it challenged you with: "What exactly can I change so I don’t end up here again?"
That shift from critic to questioner would be super helpful, wouldn't it?
See—
When your inner critic STOPS being a bully and STARTS helping you learn from the situation...
Well, that's when you start to see some real change.
The goal today?
To turn those "mess-up" moments into actionable lessons learned.
So, how can you turn a slip-up into a step forward?
Stick with us because we’re about to dive into exactly how you can make every slip count.

Imagine carrying a secret so small, but so heavy, that it quietly sabotages every goal you set.
Lemme explain.
Let's say you start strong, you're logging your meals, making good choices, sticking to the plan...
But then the day winds down.
You’re on the couch, finally getting a chance to relax, and a little voice whispers, "Go ahead. You’ve earned it."
So you grab a spoon and ice cream.
“It’s just ice cream,” you tell yourself. “No big deal. No one has to know.”
So you don’t log it. You don’t tell anyone.
Then it happens again. And again.
And before you know it, those small secrets pile up.
And suddenly, the weight of carrying 'em feels heavier than any number on the scale.
Here’s the thing—
It’s not the ice cream, the skipped workout, or even the bad day that’s holding you back.
It’s the weight of everything you've been holding in.
It’s the secrets.
What you hide holds power over you.
And you know this already, don’t you? That guilt—that constant, gnawing feeling—is uncomfortable.
It's terrible.
But the good news is progress doesn’t require perfection—it requires honesty.
The moment you let go of the secret, you free yourself to move forward.
One client told me she was ready to quit—not because she didn’t care, but because she felt overwhelmed by the gap between where she was and where she wanted to be.
She didn’t feel committed. Not really. Deep down, she thought, "What’s the point of doing this if I’m not even being honest?"
She was holding back about her evening snacking. She hid it from her coach and from herself, and the guilt piled up like a stack of unopened bills.
Finally, she let it out.
She opened up.
She got honest.
It wasn’t easy. It was vulnerable and uncomfortable. But... it was freeing!
So, what’s the secret you’re holding onto?
What would it feel like to finally let it go?
Tune in and let's talk about how embracing honesty—not willpower—can be the key to unlocking it all.

Diets Derailed? Not This Holiday Season
MyBodyTutor
12/07/23 • 19 min
It's the season for joy, for family, and let's not sugarcoat it...
It's the season where our get-up-and-go might just decide it's time to take a winter nap.
Ever wonder why?
Maybe it's because you're fighting off a stubborn cold (yep, I'm sniffling and sneezing right along with you).
Or maybe you're frustrated with the whole idea that everything's gotta be perfect all the time, but it's FAR from it.
Or maybe you're just getting caught in the holiday chaos.
No matter the reason -
That feeling where you're glued to the couch, not wanting to do a thing? We've ALL been there.
So, what do YOU do when “holiday cheer” feels more like a “holiday chore”?
Are there any levers you can pull? Switches to flip?
I'll give you one right now.
If you're wishing you could just "feel" different and get something done...
Know this -
--> It’s not about thinking or feeling your way into a new way of acting; it's about acting your way into a new way of feeling and thinking.
Take action, and you WILL start feeling different.
Not convinced? Give it a try.
Go for a quick walk. Shake things up a bit.
JUST. START. MOVING.
Give it 10 minutes, then get back to me and tell me what you think. I know you'll feel different.
Looking for more?
Haley and I have something special lined up for you.
Ready to dive in?

We've talked about prepping for the holiday mayhem, but now...
Let's tackle something just as important, maybe even more so -
Getting yourself back on track AFTER all that holiday chaos.
You see, some folks get all fired up about jumping into a complete life overhaul.
They want to go nuclear because that's what you do in January, right?
But hold up -
We've been around the block a few times, and we've seen our fair share of New Year's resolutions.
And here's the inside scoop:
The folks who make lasting changes start with a simple yet powerful strategy.
--> Go small.
Small changes and small actions beat an overhaul EVERY time.
It's all about building momentum, just like a snowball rolling down a hill.
You start with a little snow, and before you know it, you've got yourself an avalanche.
So, here's your January game plan:
Kick things off with what's doable, not daunting.
Today, Haley and I are dishing out some big ideas and showing you how to make getting healthier and fitter in 2024 a whole lot easier.
So, what's on the menu?
We're talking about why you should be using what I like to call the "effort dial"—trust me, it's like having a superpower in your pocket.
And if you're itching to break free from a plateau, this is where you should start looking.
Plus, we'll give you the lowdown on how to embrace discomfort because that's where the real growth happens.
We've got a ton of tips and strategies to help you conquer the new year.
And all you've got to do is kick back, relax, and enjoy the ride right here with us.

Ever feel like you're just spinning your wheels?
You might be asking yourself -
"Why isn't this weight coming off?"
"Why am I not seeing any muscle?"
"Why is sticking to my diet so darn hard?"
Well, what you need to know is:
Solving these problems hinges on asking the right questions.
So, what should you be asking?
Well -
Let me give you a little preview of what we've got in store today.
Picture this:
Nighttime rolls around, and you’re ready for bed.
--> How do you want to feel as your head hits the pillow?
Proud? Happy? Or full of regret because you didn't stick to your plan?
Knowing how you want to feel tonight will guide you through all the tough decisions you have to make today.
This is what Stephen Covey meant when he said, "Begin with the end in mind."
Or think about this one:
--> "I'd eat differently today, if only ___."
Fill in that gap. What's your "if only"?
Answering this is a BIG deal because it lets you see the roadblocks before they even show up.
And get ready for this tough one...
--> "Why do I let myself get so hungry?"
Is it the usual "I'm too busy" excuse, or do you eat like a bird because you think that's what "dieting" is supposed to look like?
...Take time to think about that one.
Alright -
I just tossed three big ones your way, but the real eye-opener?
Well, that one's waiting for you right around the 17-minute mark.
This question is so on the money that you'll want to ask it before EVERY bite. Seriously, ask it 5, 10, 15 times a day.
Because when you do, you'll get crystal clear on WHAT is driving you to eat.
Curious? You ought to be.
So, what are you waiting for?
Jump in and get ready for some serious aha moments.

Ever wonder why certain foods just seem to have an irresistible pull?
Well, let me give you a hint:
It's NO accident.
It's all by design.
The folks behind the scenes in the food industry? They're not randomly tossing ingredients together and hoping for the best.
Oh no, they're strategic geniuses, engineering food with one goal in mind—to get you hooked!
David Kessler, former commissioner of the FDA, even wrote a whole book about it.
And here's the deal -
Those things you can't stop eating? They're like a perfect storm of sugar, salt, and fat.
By design, they leave us feeling like we're at the mercy of our cravings.
--> That's why we crave unnatural foods in unnatural ways.
So -
With these food giants churning out all this hyper-palatable, addicting food, do we even stand a chance?
Well, that's the BIG question, isn't it?
So today, Haley and I are diving deep into food addiction.
What's the plan when you're stuck in that "can't-stop-eating" loop?
Well, hold tight, because we're going to walk you through it, step by step.
And mark my words, by the time we're through, you'll be the one calling the shots, not the food.
So, tune in.

Ever notice that the best part of a holiday treat isn’t actually eating it...
The best part is the anticipation leading up to it!
It's like that cookie exchange you and your friends have been planning all week?
Somehow, those cookies end up tasting better in your imagination than they do in real life.
Funny how anticipation works, right?
So here we are in the holidays.
And it's a minefield packed with challenges as irresistible as they are delicious.
Everywhere you turn... it's temptation.
Cookies piled high at the office. Big family dinners you can’t escape. Drinks that insist on refilling themselves.
And let’s be honest, we’ve all made those promises to “be good” only to watch it all unravel.
But think about this... maybe the key isn’t swearing off treats or dodging the dessert table?
Maybe the key is leaning into the lead-up!
Think about it.
The magic of the holidays isn’t just about the cookies on your plate.
It’s the smells.
The anticipation.
The story you tell yourself about what’s coming.
Here’s a scenario for you—
You’re at a party. The dessert table is stacked, and every treat has your name on it.
But instead of diving in, you pause.
You tell yourself, “Ehh. Not yet. I'll hold off for a minute.”
So you sip your drink, chat with friends, and soak it all in.
And when you finally grab that treat, it’s not just dessert anymore.
It’s a moment.
And in that moment, you’re calm. You're in control. And you're actually enjoying it.
Feels way different than the stress of avoiding everything, doesn’t it?
Anticipation is your secret weapon.
It’s not about saying no—it’s about saying “not yet.”
And that tiny shift of what we tell ourselves turn impulsive moments into intentional moments.
So... how would your holiday season look if you made anticipation part of your plan?
Tune in and let's dig into this strategy and share how you can make this your most mindful—and satisfying—season yet.
