Last week we announced an upcoming workshop that we are SO excited to offer and to have a live experience with you! This week, however, we are announcing the postponement of this workshop until the fall. We have both been feeling a pull to be engaging in all the things that come with season changes and summer time with our families as well as a desire to engage in some internal work of learning and creating before sharing everything we want to share with you. So, we are intentionally choosing to match the pace of our lives with the nature of this particular season, and we hope you also are offering yourself the same space for whatever your circumstances or season may be. We might publish something small again next week, or we might not-- just be sure to be subscribed if you're not already so that when new episodes drop, you’ll know. We have some incredible plans coming up for the fall and hope you will join us then!--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michelle48/message

Each episode provides three actionable take-aways: one to nourish your mind, one to connect to your body, and one to live in your purpose. Nurture these areas to access inner wisdom, discover strength, own life experiences, and fail with enthusiasm. For the woman juggling it all, this is where you find confidence to-go, so you can have confidence to-be.

Ep 2: Before and After: Thought Makeover

If we want to feel better, we have to become better at feeling. Yep. (Listen to the full episode to get what I mean-- including a real life example from my life this past weekend, involving my husband!) Feeling better involves two entirely different skill sets:  1. alleviating misery by knowing how to handle all the negative emotion we experience and 2. generating or creating all the pieces of well-being in our lives. Both skill sets are required for truly feeling better in our lives. They help us to know ourselves, control ourselves, and gain mastery of ourselves, and it all helps us to like ourselves. If we are paying attention, the Holy Ghost will be our teacher, and our emotions are the curriculum.   ---   Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michelle48/message

Ep 3: Emotional Eating

I discovered an un-anticipated challenge for some of my clients: One of the activities we do is to make a list of things they appreciate about themselves; I anticipated that it would be a bit challenging (because we don't usually use our minds this way), however what I didn't anticipate, is for some of them it felt selfish and boastful. It was a conflict with their values of being humble and selfless. Here's the problem:  If we think that pridefulness and humility are complete opposites, then we may mistakenly think that humility involves belittling ourselves and being overly aware of our weaknesses and short-comings (...because at least we'll know we aren't being prideful, right?). I believe that the kind of humility taught in the scriptures involves acknowledging God's creation in us. It's understanding that we are good and and strong and of value, because He created us. This kind of humility is strong, because in it, we are glorifying Him. We didn't create ourselves; AND as children of God, we all have strengths and abilities and bits of divinity. Understanding this is important for several reasons; here's three: 1. It blesses us with kindness and compassion for ourselves  2. It's necessary for progression 3. It glorifies our creator! Listen to hear more about how I think "humble-strength" relates to being as a child (it's pretty good)!   ---   Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michelle48/message

Multiple requests for more on gut-health, and you got it!Jonell Francis was the first person I thought of to share with you her vast knowledge and resources in the scope of gut-health. Twenty years ago, Jonell healed from chronic pain, inflammation, and auto-immune disease. Since then, she has helped thousands of others become pain free and healthy again.Jonell shares her personal story of health problems that triggered her journey to find answers; at one point her prayers changed from "please make this go away and heal me" to "show me the way." This lead her to becoming a gut "queen" with an amazing protocol that is helping people all around the world. (Go to https://myfeelgoodfoods.com/?wpam_id=81 for more info.)We talk about why gut health is important, how gut problems may manifest, and the epidemic of disease on the rise that can largely be solved (or at least largely reduced) by giving our guts what they need.Jonell also explains how chemical responses to emotions (like fight-or-flight) in our bodies affect the Ph of our bowel lining; these chemical changes can destroy friendly bacteria."Buffing up our mind-sets and learning how to better manage our emotions is VERY important to gut health.""It behooves us all to learn how to walk more peaceably with each other, how to forgive more quickly, and how to regularly de-junk negative emotions that might have been caught there inside our being."Learn more about Jonell's Re-boot protocol here:https://myfeelgoodfoods.com/?wpam_id=81Book a FREE session with Michelle here:https://mycoachmichelle.as.me/--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michelle48/message

Ep 23: Confidence

Ep 4: You and Your Brain

Self-sabotage:1.) we are often unaware of it &amp;2.) it always has to do with our MINDS (which is GREAT, because WE have the power to shift it)Six ways it shows up:1. "Auto-pilot" trumps "manual pilot." Our minds resist change because it takes effort, and our minds want to be efficient.2. Change can feel scary, uncomfortable, or threatening to our identities. 3. We may feel conflicted with believing that we are enough, and telling ourselves we "should" be different. This feels contrary to self-acceptance.4. Unhealthy habits serve a well-intended purpose; they are a functional strategy with a positive intention (and the best solution we have found so far).5. Other people and things are more important than we are, and therefore our well-being doesn't take priority.6. We think "I've been good &amp; deserve" a little extra.Smart water bottle I LOVEhttps://hidratespark.comDiscount Code at checkout: MICHELLES10Brook Castillo's Minimum Baselinehttps://thelifecoachschool.com/209--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michelle48/message

Ep 14 Self-Sabotage: 6 Ways it Shows Up, What To Do About it

Our thoughts and beliefs about ourselves has a HUGE impact on the choices we make, the habits we create for ourselves, and how we function in the world.It's easy to think that our value can go up and down, and that some people are more valuable than others. This is a lie, and believing it can cause us to treat ourselves as less-than.When we understand and believe in our value, we will live in a way that supports that belief. This is how we become our best selves, and learn to live and operate as such.------------------------------My water bottle obsession:www.HidrateSpark.com(Free shipping and returns, 30-day trial)*use Promo Code: MICHELLES10 at checkout for 10% off, good through 7/27/18--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michelle48/message

Ep 5: The Big Lie

Do you feel like outside forces are bossing your life?This episode can help you claim all the power to live the life you really want to!For purposes of this discussion, the experience of our lives will be reduced to thoughts, feelings, &amp; actions.THREE crucial pieces to understand:1. First is awareness of how WE are creating our current experience. Unless we understand our role in creating what we are experiencing, we won't see any options for shifting it. 2. Next, is choosing WHO we believe we are, at the level of our identities. If we believe we are inherently flawed, then we will operate in flawed ways. If we believe that we are inherently good, we become capable of operating that way.WHO we believe we ARE, is HOW we will operate.3. The final piece is to practice BEING what we want to BECOME. It takes time to truly internalize, shift, and become masterful at BEING the person we want to be. It takes daily practice.https://hidratespark.com/DISCOUNT CODE: MICHELLES10--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michelle48/message

Ep 15 The Boss of Your Life: 3 Parts to Live How You Want To

In this episode, we discuss how DOing the "right" things is very different from BEing someone who wants to. We discuss how this applies to our spiritual well-being as well as to our physical health.Doing things and checking boxes is NOT the same as BEING someone who naturally chooses to.The feelings driving what we are DOing MATTER.We may be doing all the "right" things, but if it's driven from frustration or resentment, we will have a very different experience than if we are doing them from love and hope and desire. Ultimately, our feelings behind all our actions is what generates our results.For example, it's easier to say a prayer, than it is to BE someone who is engaged in prayer.It's easier to skip sugar for a day, than to BE someone who doesn't even want it.Our goal is to BE rather than to DO.As we BE someone who chooses supportive actions from a place of desire and hope and love, THAT is when the actions become part of who we are, and we receive the real benefits of DOing.We are all a work in progress, and I believe we are all doing our best (even if our best is terrible)."Do the best you can until you know better; when you know better, do better." -Maya Angelou--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michelle48/message

Ep 19: Doing vs. Being

Do you sometimes wonder if you should be happier than you are? Does it seem like everyone else is having a better life experience than you are?The truth is, we ALL struggle.Even if you are beautiful and have a billion dollars... all humans struggle.For me (and probably for you too), it's daily.Thinking that we "should" be happier, will NEVER help us to FEEL happier.In fact, believing that feels TERRIBLE, like something is wrong. It's like we have been robbed of our ability to feel happy or that our happiness is outside of our control. Not good, and not true.Three things to understand, that I find really helpful when I'm curled in a ball crying from negative emotion: 1. Negative emotion doesn't mean anything about me is wrong or flawed. It's simply a physiological response in my body from thoughts (often triggered by something unconscious).2. Negative emotion is part of the plan and part of the process of life. Growing and stretching doesn't feel good, but it's part of the deal if we are going to progress. We are designed to handle it.3. As soon as I'm done physically processing the emotion, I can redirect my mind to thoughts that are useful. This is one way I practice kindness toward myself (by allowing negative emotion when needed, not beating myself up over it or making it mean anything painful, and then choosing what I really want to think and feel).To get help with your struggles, book a free session with me!https://mycoachmichelle.as.me/--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michelle48/message

Ep 27: How to Make the Right Decision

This is a good one! It' s one of my favorite topics; this episode discusses the role of agency in creating our life experiences. Guys, it's all about AGENCY!  We are agents to ACT (which means we can direct what's going on in our minds), rather than to be acted upon (living by defaults of an unmanaged mind --which I believe is the "natural man").  Questions to ask yourself each morning:  (These direct our minds, and create more of the life experiences we want--from Tony Robbins, via Ed Mylett's podcast episode "Unlocking Your Success Code")   What am I HAPPY about in my life right now? What about that makes me happy? How does it make me feel? What am I EXCITED about in my life right now? What about that makes me excited? How does it make me feel? What am PROUD of in my life right now? What about it makes me proud? How does it make me feel? What am I am GRATEFUL for in my life right now? What about that make me grateful? How does that make me feel? What am I ENJOYING most in my life right now? What about that do I enjoy? How does it make me feel? What am I COMMITTED to in my life right now? What about that makes me committed? How does it make me feel? Who do I LOVE? Who loves me? What about that makes me loving? How does that make me feel?   Questions to ask each evening:  What have I given today? In what ways have I been a giver? What did I learn today? How had today added to the quality of my life? How can I use today as an investment in my future?

We might think that frustration or body-hate will motivate us to make changes for the better, but this isn't true at all.Living with body-hate actually causes us to take LESS care for our bodies, not more.If we value our bodies, and truly get to place of love and gratitude for them, THAT is when we truly treat our bodies with care, and take actions that support it.Learning to tune in to body signals and honor them is the best way to build your relationship with your body, gain energy and live in a way that supports the life you want.---------------------------Get yourself (and a friend) a smart water bottle! -I LOVE mine.www.hidratespark.comUse promo code at checkout: MICHELLES10 Good for 10% off, through 7/27/18 (FREE shipping &amp; returns)--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michelle48/message

Ep 6: Relationship With Our Bodies

Most of us have thoughts like "I didn't get enough done today," or "I didn't get enough sleep" or "I'm not a good enough____" (fill in the blank). Believing that we never have enough of something (or that WE aren't enough) is totally draining, AND it's OPTIONAL. Choosing to believe that we are enough, we have enough, and that we are doing enough is such a relief, and it actually drives energy, creativity, love, peace, and acceptance.  In this episode, I share a couple of personal stories that illustrate how this has come up for me, and how changing my thoughts to believe in enough has made all the difference.
