What you focus on grows. So this mechanism actually has a huge impact on whether or not you stay focused on and stuck in negative patterns or course correct to succeed in making positive change.This subconscious system is running the show behind the scenes and impacting everything from your career, to your relationships, and even whether or not you're able to release weight and keep it off.I'll explain exactly how this internal system works and teach you the strategies to harness it, retrain your brain, get unstuck, and finally reach your goals and maintain healthy habits.Episode Highlights:05:01 The Brain's Algorithm09:31 Getting Unstuck From Negative Cycles15:17 Manifesting What You Want19:55 Rewiring Your BrainImportant Links

    This week, our format is a little different. We're flipping the script as I move from interviewer to interviewee. I had such a powerful conversation recently on the Transforming 45 podcast, with host Lisa Boate, where we discussed how to transform your body image….I just had to share it with you.Growing up, many of us internalized messages about how our bodies should look, creating a skewed perception that often leads to self-criticism. ​​In this interview I got very vulnerable and opened up about my own journey through having a distorted, negative body image, and how living through breast cancer completely changed the way I viewed and treated my bodyWe also talked about the complex issue of weight, how to overcome societal pressures to look a certain way, and how to cultivate self-care, self-love, and body appreciation.Key takeawaysMindset Matters: Transformation begins with subtle mindset shifts. When you start viewing your body through a lens of appreciation rather than perfection, you begin to recognize its innate resilience and power.Self-care as a Foundation: Simple self-care practices can significantly impact how you perceive and feel about your body.Finding Your Sweet Spot: What is your perfect “goal weight”? There is no magic number. It's finding YOUR “sweet spot” where you're comfortable in your body, nourishing it with healthy food, and enjoying what you eat and how you feel. Highlights12:06 Body and Self-Image16:54 Resilience Through Physical Transformation23:55 Body Love Through Self-Care27:24 Understanding Practical Self-Love38:39 Coping with Trauma and FoodImportant LinksGrab your FREE Rev Up Your Metabolism Guide: Powerful Strategies for Women in Midlife, Menopause & Beyond to Fire Up Their Metabolism, Release Weight, and Reclaim Their HealthWebsite: SarahHaasWellness.comFacebook: Sarah Haas WellnessInstagram: SarahHaasWellnessYoutube: Sarah Haas Wellness Lisa Boate is a Certified Menopause Coach, Founder of Liberated Menopause Consulting and Coaching, and host of the Transforming 45 podcast.Connect with Lisa:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/leaninfindyourwayhome/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lboate/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisa-boate-menopause-consultant-and-coach-22b390261/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lisaboateYouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@Transforming45 Free Guide: Advocate for Your Menopause Needs with Medical Practitioners:https://www.canva.com/design/DAF-p0qRcLM/asJQ-vWdxgUYlJhxaZVwRg/view?utm_content=DAF-p0qRcLM&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=viewer Thanks for Listening:Thanks so much for listening to the Boss Body podcast!

From high school dropout and welfare mom to successful entrepreneur, Linda's path was full of hustle, striving, and proving herself through external achievements. She also spent decades nurturing her emotional and spiritual growth, which is evident in the work she does. But it took a mini stroke at 40 and years of health challenges before she realized she was neglecting her PHYSICAL health.She made a conscious decision to prioritize nourishing her body—just as much as her career and spiritual well-being.She sought help from me as her Health & Nutrition Coach and she says that's when everything began to shift.She released weight that had been hanging on for years–by eating MORE, not less–her energy also improved, she was more productive, and her health challenges improved dramatically. “If I wasn't nourishing me, I wouldn't have any light to share with anyone else,” Linda says, reflecting on the way her relationship with her body changed when she gave it the care it needed.Key takeaways:Nourishment as Sacred Ritual: Linda shared her transformative shift in viewing nourishment not just as feeding the body, but as a sacred experience.Embrace Support and Seek Help: Linda opened up about her longtime struggle of trying to tackle life's challenges alone.

And it's costing companies billions.A study in Canada showed an annual impact of $3.5 billion on the economy from women in their menopausal years leaving the workforce and taking with them all the education, training, and experience companies have invested in them over the years. In the US, the cost is even higher.During this phase of life, women are dealing with unique physical and emotional challenges - like fatigue, memory loss, irritability, hot flashes, headaches, and anxiety - that are completely unrecognized and unsupported in the corporate world.My guest on this episode is Lisa Boate, founder of Liberated Menopause Consulting.
