Colorado Bound: Finding the Strength Within With Courtney Bussard

"How we think we're going to feel in the future when we're taking that next step is rarely how we actually feel once we get there." - Andrea HansonJoin me as I talk about a favorite piece of advice that was given to me at a time when I was ready to give up and walk away in the middle of a challenge. Drawing from my experience in a 150 mile bike race, I reveal the simple yet transformative lesson I learned that helped me get up the next day and finish what would be one of my proudest achievements soon after my multiple sclerosis diagnosis. And I share how it can work for others in their lives as well - you don't have to be on an epic bike ride to take advantage! This approach has become my guiding light, helping me conquer doubts, break barriers, and find success in even the most daunting situations. Discussed in this episode:The empowering impact of focusing on the present moment and how it can lead to triumphs.How to let go of anxiety about the future and approach each step with clarity.How to make clear and accurate decisions when worries get in the way.For more on today's guest and transcripts of this episode, visit: Live Your Life, Not Your Diagnosis PodcastConnect with Andrea:Join the waitlist for the 8 Week Challenge to Quiet Your Inner Critic: https://andreahansoncoaching.com/waitlistGrab the FREE Resource from Andrea: "The No BS Guide to a Positive Mindset"  https://andreahansoncoaching.com/nobsguide/Do you have questions or topics you would like covered in the podcast?

Why You Shouldn’t Make a New Year Resolution

What’s your energy type? Do you know? On this episode I’m talking all about energy – not the kind that gives you pep, but the type of energy you use and if it’s working for you. We all have energy that we give off. I’m sure you’ve noticed when a person […]

What’s Your Energy Type? (And Is It Working?)

The health mindset is all about creating the health you want by redesigning your mind. Your mindset is the key to losing weight, living a happy life, and coming out ahead when faced with a diagnosis. Our mindset is everything. When we don’t have a health mindset, we find ourselves on autopilot, realizing we just ate something we swore we wouldn’t. We decide that there’s something more important than getting in that workout. Not having a health mindset means we don’t change, don’t lose weight, don’t get healthy. We need to purposefully create that health mindset to heal our bodies in a way that lasts long into our golden years. But we can do even better than even that. We can up our game much more with a little practice and the right tools. Today I’m talking about three quick ways to have a killer manifesting mindset so you can achieve the health and weight loss you truly want. In this episode, you will learn- -3 tools you can use to immediately start changing your mindset and your body. -Why weight loss tools are a lot like a closet full of clothes. -Why we get stuck attracting weight loss in the future - and how to switch to having weight loss now. At the end of the episode, I'll tell you exactly how to pick the one tool that will benefit you the most for your unique set of circumstances. They're all great tips, but there's one that you need right now.

3 Ways to a Killer Manifesting Mindset

Are you committed to your weight loss if you take cheat days? This episode, we talk about how to know if you're truly 100% committed to your weight loss or if you're sliding a bit. Your first reaction may be like mine was - "of course I'm 100% committed." Duh. But I had a big wake up call that caused me to change my answer. My new outlook on committing helps me dial in my health and catapults my results. It's not bad to be 90% or 80% committed to your health - we have busy lives and less energy to focus than we like. Being 90% worked for me for a while, but I found it unsustainable. At the end of this podcast you may have a different answer, too- one that can help you double down on your weight loss without doubling down the effort. In this episode, you will learn- -A new way to define commitment that can lead to crazy results. -Why I think all cake is necessary (and why I don't think eating it is a "cheat"). -How to diagnose your level of commitment and see if it truly works for you. At the end of the episode, I'll show you exactly how to see what your commitment level is - even if you think you're at 100%. I'll share some powerful questions to ask yourself about what you think commitment is, and also why that definition may harm to your health.

Are Cheat Days Okay?

My bet is this question runs though your head a few (million) times a week. "Am I doing enough to lose weight?" We all ask ourselves if we're eating the right things, fasting enough, working out enough, doing cardio enough. Whatever it is that you're doing to lose weight, you can wonder if it's enough. Especially when the scale doesn't move. This question, "Am I doing enough?" and the answer, "I don't know," are motivational killers. They put you into a state of confusion about what your body really needs, and then you fear that what you're doing will never be enough to lose weight - not by summer at least. There's a way to both stop giving yourself a hard time about what's working and to know if you're doing enough - or what to tweak. In this episode, you will learn- -How to tap into the definitive answer to "Am I doing enough," and know if you need to change your plan. -The three steps you must master if you want to connect with your body and know what it really needs. -The biggest reason that we get confused about what's necessary to lose weight and heal our body. At the end of the episode, I give you a super simple practice to train your brain out of confusion and into decision mode.  You'll bypass the biggest reason we get so confused about doing enough so you can jumpstart your weight loss again.

Am I Doing Enough to Lose Weight?

Let's talk about rebelling. Whether you come by it naturally (like me) or are someone who's just now learning to speak out for themselves, adding a little rebellion can give you that edge on weight loss and health for life. I'll share what rebelling for your health means (and doesn't mean) and how to get the most out of it. You'll learn everything from what white coat syndrome is and how it can devastate your health to how to have the most empowered, freeing feeling ever (and how chocolate lava cake fits into all of it). In this episode, you will learn-  -Why putting yourself first is essential in order to be there for who and what you most care about. -The four things that must be in place before you can effectively speak out for yourself. -The one, easy thing you can do to be able to consistently do what's best for your health. -The trap you may be in that prohibits you from knowing what helps you lose weight. At the end of the episode, I give you one simple question to ask yourself to start your own rebellion for your health. This isn't sit-down-at-your-desk homework, it's something you can answer without anyone else knowing. This question allows you to start your secret rebellion immediately.

Join the Rebellion for Your Health

Have you ever wondered if something is wrong with you because you don't get the results that everyone else seems to get? Have you ever caught yourself asking "what's wrong with me? Why can't I just do this?" You're not alone - not by a long shot. There's no shame in asking yourself these questions. We all go there when we're frustrated that results aren't happening as quickly as we want. The problem is, these questions aren't very helpful for your long-term (or even short term) health. There are some common traps that we all fall into on our quest for better health that lead us to ask these very un-awesome questions. The good news is there's an easy way out of this common sabotage when you know where to look. In this episode, you will learn- -A common sabotage that we all fall for and how to fix it. -Why so many of us allow this motivation blocker without realizing it. -The #1 practice that will shine a light on what's blocking your momentum. -The one phrase that kept me from losing weight and why you may be believing it, too. At the end of the episode, I give you one easy practice that will let you know if something is really making you feel driven to get results- or is actually turning your inspired action into bullying yourself into action instead.

Avoid This Hidden Hazard to Your Weight Loss

I'm celebrating this first podcast milestone by talking about something I practice every day for my health, but haven't taught yet on this podcast - the Law of Attraction. This is a weight loss tool every bit as big as eating the right foods, working out, getting quality sleep and decreasing stress. If you've practiced it before in your life, you know how fast it works. But you may also know that the fun and games of attracting good parking spots can get tricky when you try apply them to get better health. Our health is the most personal topic of attraction there is. And we can get tripped up when we try to apply these principles to something so important as our weight loss and wellbeing. But you can - you must- and there is a way. I'll talk about how on this week's podcast. In this episode, you will learn- -How the Law of Attraction is tailor made to work with our brains. -The two core systems all humans have that tap into the practice of manifesting. -Two easy manifesting tools I use almost every day in my health and the direct results I see. At the end of the episode, I'll give you a fun and simple tool to try out the Law of Attraction yourself. If you're like me, you may be a bit skeptical about trying this out at first. I give you an easy way to test it and feel the results yourself. (And if you're already in the manifesting game, bravo! Here's a fun way to up the ante.)

Can the Law of Attraction Help You Lose Weight?

This is the first in a three-part series of podcasts where I talk about the first three chapters in my new book, Stop Carrying the Weight of Your MS. In this week's episode, I talk about the behind the scenes of Chapter 1 and then read the entire chapter. Learn why this book isn't only for people with MS. The character in this chapter is modeled after me and my struggle with weight loss when I was first diagnosed, but it goes so much farther than that. Why being in the age of information and having so many "guru's" at our fingertips is counter productive. And the real way to create a lifestyle change, not simply a diet for the season. If you have questions you want me to answer, don't be shy! This was so much fun I will definitely do more Q&amp;A podcasts. Send questions to hello@andreahansoncoaching.com In this episode, you will learn- -Why creating a plan you love for getting healthy seems impossible- and how to change that. -The truth of why having someone tell us what to do doesn't work long term and why it's good news. -The real reason you're feeling disconnected from finding the solution to your health (it's not what you think).
