If you've ever wondered why sticking to a healthy routine can feel so tough and why you keep sliding back into old habits, I'm excited to share something truly fascinating…The brain science behind weight loss and habit change.Turns out there's a little “bouncer” in your brain that decides what information deserves your focus and what gets filtered out. 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!

Linda Joy, spent years building her career as a Mindset Elevation Coach, publisher, and creatrix of five media brands. 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.

I was disconnected from my body, from the truth of who I am, from my worth. I used to be so hard on myself, and the more I loved myself from the inside out and defined my own vision for success in every area of my life, my life completely shifted.” - Linda JoyHighlights01:43 Finding Time For Ourselves12:56 Healing Relationship with Food14:28 Honoring Self18:49 Breaking Negative PatternsCalling all busy women in midlife, menopause or beyond, dealing with a changing body, hormonal shifts, and slowing metabolism…Menopause Metabolism Makeover 4-week, live group coaching program is open for enrollment!Get all the details Menopause Metabolism Makeover Grab the FREE Rev Up Your Metabolism GuideCheck out Sarah's Website sarahhaaswellness.comAbout LindaLinda Joy is a Spiritual entrepreneur, cultivator of sacred community, supporter of women's dreams, Mindset Elevation Coach. She is the publisher of Aspire Magazine, which inspires, empowers, and supports women in creating an intentional life (and businesses) aligned with the truth of who they are so they can experience the joy, fulfillment and abundance that is their divine right. For over two decades, she has held private circles, workshops, and transformational women's events.

And I'll show you how to cultivate a respectful, loving relationship with your body, and how that can lead to releasing physical and emotional weight.You'll learn:How to respect your body even if you feel like you don't love it right nowHow your past experiences shape how you view yourselfHow to feel worthy and confident right now, instead of thinking you'll have to change firstHow to shift to a positive self-image"Your body is there supporting you day in and day out, and it deserves gratitude for that. ​​Start showing up for your body and notice how different you feel when you start treating it with respect and kindness."  -Sarah HaasHighlights07:44 How to honor and respect your body15:01 Cultivate feelings of worthiness19:52 Appreciate your body through self-care and gratitude26:19 Create new positive self-mantrasImportant Links:Free Rev Up Your Metabolism eBookWalking for Weight Release 6-Week Beginner Walking ProgramWebsite: sarahhaaswellness.comFacebook: Sarah Haas WellnessInstagram: @sarahhaaswellnessYoutube: Sarah Haas WellnessThanks so much for listening to my podcast!

Do you have an inner critic inside your head that's constantly putting you down?A voice that goes around and around in your head all day saying negative things - especially about your body and your ability to stick to healthy habits?Did you know the private conversations you have with yourself can either be motivating and help you move forward with positive action, or major obstacles to reaching your goals.That's because thoughts create emotions, emotions create actions, actions create your outer reality. And that's why negative thinking can quickly turn into self-fulfilling prophecies.If you're constantly beating yourself up, you're not going to feel motivated, you're not going to have the confidence that you can do it and, many times, when we feel bad, we turn to food to help us feel better. Which ends up perpetuating the cycle.In this episode, I share four steps that can help you quiet the inner critic, break the vicious cycle, and start feeling positive and motivated.Important Links:Free Rev Up Your Metabolism eBookWalking for Weight Release 6-Week Beginner Walking ProgramWebsite: sarahhaaswellness.comFacebook: Sarah Haas WellnessInstagram: @sarahhaaswellnessYoutube: Sarah Haas WellnessThanks so much for listening to my podcast!

Grief can be a tough emotion to process, but it's something all of us will experience at some point in our lives. Grief often follows a major life shift, like the loss of a loved one, job change, relationship change, or health challenge - experiences especially common in midlife.It can be tempting to suppress these uncomfortable emotions, stuff them down and sweep them under the rug. But allowing your emotions to flow, and the lessons that follow are an opportunity for profound personal growth and resilience.To help us understand and learn how to deal with these complex emotions, I invited Amy Lindner Lesser, grief recovery specialist and certified life transition coach, to join me on this episode.Amy's journey into grief counseling started with her own profound experiences, beginning with the loss of her husband, while running a bed and breakfast, and caring for her family, She discovered the necessity of self-care and the importance of addressing suppressed emotions to cope with the inevitable "life quakes" - big, life-changing events. Through her experiences, she shares powerful practical advice for emotional healing, channeling love and emotions into positive actions, and finding the silver linings in even the most devastating circumstances. “Feel all your feelings. Grief is normal, it's natural. And it's necessary that we feel grief when we lose someone or something that's important to us.” -Amy Lindner-LesserHighlights15:57 Importance of feeling all emotions19:55 Grieving life transitions24:07 How adversity promotes personal growth and resilience27:29 Power of action-based responses to griefAmy Lindner-Lesser is a Grief Recovery Method™️ Specialist, Certified Life Transitions Coach, and MSW, who supports women through the emotions of loss and grief that arise with major life transitions.

One huge reason there's such a leadership gap between men and women in senior positions is that women leave the workforce at a higher rate than men at different stages of their careers.Like during their childbearing years or when taking a leave of absence to care for an ailing family member.But did you know one in ten women leaves the workforce at the peak of their skill, wisdom, and experience, due to unsupported menopause symptoms? 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. She has made it her mission to support menopausal women to remain in the workforce through creating “Menopause-Empowered Workplaces.”She works with companies and individuals to create awareness around this issue and to implement policies for providing specific health and wellness benefits, flexible working conditions, and more environmental control, so women can continue doing the work they love and are so good at.Highlights Timings:[10:07] Why women are leaving the workforce during menopause[12:50] How menopausal symptoms impact work and family life[20:34] Why there are fewer women in leadership roles[25:51] Creating a work-life balance for women in menopauseGuest Bio:Lisa Boate, Certified Menopause Coach and Founder of Liberated Menopause Consulting and Coaching, is a passionate advocate for creating Menopause Empowered Workplaces.

Your body is always sending you signals, but so many of us have become disconnected due to stress, busyness, and thinking we have to do it all. We've conditioned ourselves to ignore the body's messages, like headaches, pain, and mood changes. We even tune out hunger and thirst in an effort to power through our never ending to-do list.But these symptoms are a signal that something isn't quite right. It's a “check engine” light from our body.My guest on this episode, Thalia Pellegrini, nutritional therapist and former BBC journalist, shares her wisdom on decoding the underlying causes of symptoms that can occur around perimenopause and menopause and how to address the root causes.Highlights Timings:[04:47] Perimenopause hormone fluctuations[10:48] What period pain could mean[20:29] The importance of supporting your liver[28:19] Menopausal changes and prioritizing self-careGuest Bio:Thalia Pelligrini is a Registered Nutritional Therapist, with degrees from Cambridge University and the Institute of Optimum Nutrition in London.

Episode Summary:When our identity is based on our EXTERNAL career, achievements, possessions, physical appearance, etc., we always feel we have to do more, be more, and achieve more to be “good enough.”And, in doing so, we disconnect with, not only our body, but our soul, our inner wisdom, and our inner truth.When we get out of our heads, and begin to discover, what my guest on this episode, Jessica Falcon, International Soul Embodiment Guide, calls the “goodness within,” we begin to connect with our innate wisdom and power and step into the life we're actually meant to lead.Jessica, a former successful criminal prosecutor, shares her story of how a flood that destroyed her home and a serious accident, prompted her to reevaluate her life's purpose and make some big changes.Join me as we discuss the importance of adopting a soulful perspective and the amazing things that can happen when we shed the layers of conditioning and societal expectations.“When we start to harness that power, that divine power, we literally shift everything from the inside out.

Episode Summary:Magnetize abundance, release money blocks, and find financial freedom! In this episode, I dive into the world of finance from a FEMININE PERSPECTIVE, with money coach and former high-power financial manager, Kayleigh Provins.For years (well….forever), we've been taught the “masculine way” was the only way to achieve wealth - being aggressive, working long hours, never showing emotions or vulnerability, and putting work above everything else. Media, movies, and tv shows reinforce the idea that the masculine model is the only path to success.

Episode Summary:I was recently interviewed for the Elevate Women's Empowerment Summit by host Linday Joy, and the conversation was so powerful, I just had to share it with you!The topic: Midlife Metabolism.As we age, our metabolism slows due to loss of muscle mass, hormonal changes, stress, a decrease in physical activity, and a host of other reasons.But there's so much you can do to get it back up and running at full speed.In this episode I share three easy steps you can start implementing right away to start burning fat and releasing the midlife weight that's been creeping up.“You start to feel better about yourself when you're consistently moving forward. When you try to take on everything at once, that's a setup for failure so you feel like you failed. But YOU didn't fail, the plan failed.” - Sarah HaasHighlights:07:55 - Revving Up Your Metabolism20:30 - Building Muscle27:43 - Small Steps31:43 - Moving ForwardImportant Links:Midlife Muscle & Metabolism 30-Day Strength Training ProgramGet It Here >>Free Light & Easy Lunch Meal Prep Guide + RecipesGet It Here >>Free Rev Up Your Metabolism eBookGet It Here >>Website: sarahhaaswellness.comFacebook: Sarah Haas WellnessInstagram: @sarahhaaswellnessYoutube: Sarah Haas WellnessThanks for Listening:Thanks so much for listening to my podcast!

Episode Summary:Have you ever noticed when you have a strong craving, it's usually NOT because you're actually hungry? Whether it's finishing a whole bag of chips or a sleeve of cookies at night while watching TV. Don't worry, you're not alone. We've all been there. Whatever emotions drive you to overeat, the end result is often the same. You feel better temporarily, then the emotions return along with guilt… Then you eat to feel better… And the cycle continues.In this episode, we'll discuss:How to distinguish between hunger and cravingsRoot causes of emotional eatingFour steps you can implement to break the cycle“Feelings aren't going to kill you. It's uncomfortable, but it's not a bad thing. We are human. We are meant to cry and to be sad. If you don't face what the emotion is, you're never going to take action to deal with what needs to be dealt with.” - Sarah HaasHighlights:03:45 - Emotional Eating06:20 - Reasons Why We Turn to Food11:38 - Hunger vs Cravings17:04 - Letting Your Emotions Flow Through YouImportant Links:Midlife Muscle & Metabolism 30-Day Strength Training ProgramGet It Here >>Free Light & Easy Lunch Meal Prep Guide + RecipesGet It Here >>Free Rev Up Your Metabolism eBookGet It Here >>Website: sarahhaaswellness.comFacebook: Sarah Haas WellnessInstagram: @sarahhaaswellnessYoutube: Sarah Haas WellnessThanks for Listening:Thanks so much for listening to my podcast!
