Brain Boss - Losing Weight Is An Inside Job

Sign up to hear the rest of Season 2Welcome to Season 2!After doing season one, I realized there were some big topics I wanted to go into deeper detail and perfectionism was one of those topics.How you know this season is for you:• You have a tough inner critic & are ridiculously hard on yourself• You can't remember the last time you had a glorious failure – the kind where you give something your all but fail in an epic blaze of glory• You don't dream big anymore• You self-sabotage• You never ask for help (you'd rather die trying)• You often feel resentful of others for asking so much• You're “all-or-nothing” (and maybe proud of it)Join me with an open, curious mind in dissecting these themes and make space for perspective shifts.“The difference between school and life? In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson.” Tom BodettShow Notes:Sign up to hear the rest of Season 2About Making Space: The ProgramReikiBook with me"The Pursuit of Perfect" By Tal Ben-Shahar"Mindset: The New Psychology of Success" By Carol DweckThis podcast is recorded in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on Treaty 6 Territory the traditional land of the Cree people and the homeland of the Metis Nation.

Listen to the podcast here: https://www.jenpillipow.com/making-space-private-podcastMaking Space was born out of the idea that our authenticity is "protected" under layers of social conditioning, traumas, and fears.The goal in my work is to help elevate and empower through increasing self-knowledge, self-trust, self-awareness, self-compassion, basically all the "selves".Because ... ugh I'm sorry to repeat the overused obvious, but you are the one that will heal you. AND - the "how" and "when" are out of your control. I know this feels like terrible news.It's scary to surrender. To not control.But here's the thing: healing is not linear, it takes its own path and time.I don't believe anyone is "blocked", broken, or needs "fixing".But we like to believe that because it appeals to the victim in us that feels out of control.By making space between the conditioning, trauma, fears, and our authentic selves, we can create a healed response (vs. knee jerk reactions that don't serve) and live in alignment.Where it's easier to surrender to the process AND feel empowered.From here we can really start to build an authentic, aligned life - safely.What Making Space is all about:clearing out old beliefs, old patterns, old thoughtsmaking space for more energy, vitality, connection, and empowermentAs with all my work (and well, most everything), please listen with consideration of context, nuance, and discernment.Craving more authenticity?

My friends!! It's time to offer farewell to the Podcast Brain Boss. If you've been with me over the last 3 seasons - thank you - but you also know the impetus for the Podcast was to share mindset tools on weight loss. Wow, have we evolved since then!!I've learned so much from my own journey and from my clients. And what we all have in common is this desire to live a more aligned, authentic life. But it's not as easy as 1-2-3 even though it's so much harder to survive when you're trying to be someone else. This is the basis for the new podcast coming in the next couple of weeks - more on that in the episode! “The difference between school and life? In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson.” Tom BodettShow Notes5-Week Emotional Eating WorkshopScholarship Application "You shouldn't have to spend your life savings or go into debt to heal, period.

It's the final episode of the season!Thank you for sticking with me this season on self-awareness.It's so simple, but not easy. It's simple and powerful. It's brave and courageous to practice.If you've been doing the work (took the quiz, and really practiced), you have more self-awareness now than you did 8 weeks ago.You also have started to create ripple effects around you. Without knowing it, you're inspiring others to challenge old beliefs and patterns and try something new.Well done!~If you feel called to take this work deeper into the subconscious, I still have a couple of 1:1 spots available in March.

Today I get to talk about my favorite RTT tool: RFPI (role, function, purpose, intention)!You know when you say "I want to do it, but a PART OF ME WON'T LET ME"?We all these "parts" of us.And you know what?We created them, so we can play with them, update them, re-purpose them, or even archive them.In this podcast episode I talk about it from a conscious point of view - but if you want to take it deeper and explore in the subconscious mind AND update it - check out my online workshop HERE (podcast listeners use coupon code Authentic50 for 50% off).You can download this week's worksheet HERE.Shownotes:Check out Jen Pielak and The Playfully Brave HERESelf-awareness Quiz:Perfectionism WorkshopAuthenticity WorkshopsWebsite See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

But what you can remember is that you created all the parts of you – you have the control. So you can always decide to update anything you created. This gives you the opportunity and space to do so. More importantly, it reminds you that there’s no part of you that needs to be called bad. All your parts were created by you and are trying to serve a positive purpose – but left to the subconscious it may be misguided. You’re not broken, and you don’t need to be fixed. But as human beings, we always have the opportunity to update for what will work with us today.~Residents of or near Saskatoon, keep your eyes open for an in-person workshop coming soon...~I'd love to hear from you - what's your Self-Awareness Style (free QUIZ HERE) Email me at info@jenpillipow.com and let me know YOUR style and if you'd be interested in a live online workshop!~Interested in 1:1 work?

As you're practicing your self-awareness style you might first realize how un-aware you are. And then you might notice it gets harder and you feel "tested". This is good news!"Tests" are designed to come up before big shifts. It's a sign you're doing it right, going in the right direction.Here’s what I invite you to do: ask yourself these 3 questions: 1.

In this episode I refer to knowing your own personal self awareness strength – if you’re jumping in at episode 4, you can discover your own self awareness strength by completing my short, free quiz on my website – but I highly encourage you to start from episode 1 as each episode builds on the last, is in a specific order.In this show I share tips on when to practice your self-awareness style, how to slow down, and how to start looking at this habit we all have - to escape the present moment.

"If you don't have any shadows you're not in the light." ~ Lady GagaToday on the podcast I start with a grounding, so if you typically listen to this episode while driving or walking, I recommend you find a cozy seat and settle in for this 20 minutes. Today is one of my favorite topics: the shadow side.We each have a self-awareness style. A way we connect to ourselves when we’re stressed and taxed. And we're either doing it in a deliberate, thoughtful way that helps us; or, we are getting sucked into the vortex of automatic, subconscious behavior that leads us to toxic habits and negative outcomes. I call this the shadow side of our self awareness style and that's what today's episode is all about.“Study me as much as you like, you will not know me, for I differ in a hundred ways from what you see me be. Put yourself behind my eyes and see me as I see myself, for I have chosen to dwell in a place you cannot see.” ~ Rumi https://www.jenpillipow.com/Self-awareness Quiz: https://www.jenpillipow.com/quiz/Perfectionism Workshop: https://jen-s-school-ee17.thinkific.com/courses/perfectionismAuthenticity Workshops: https://www.jenpillipow.com/work-with-me-11/Acknowledging the land and water that sustains us: I live on traditional lands, refereed to as Treaty 6 Territory, encompassing the traditional territories of numerous First Nations, including the Cree and Metis Homeland.

Today we walk through what I've called the "4 Styles of Self-Awareness". My theory is that we've all got a self-awareness style or strength – a way that we connect to ourselves when we’re stressed and taxed (or happy!). We're either using it in a deliberate, intentional way that connects us to the present moment, or it's like a subconscious program running our lives and preventing us from creating the goals we want.If you haven't taken the Self-Awareness Style Quiz yet, you can here: https://www.jenpillipow.com/quiz/Homework to take this work deeper with journaling questions:What does safety feel like to you?How does it feel to you?And how do you recognize it when you have it?Next steps:Join the Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/selfawarenessstyleSubscribe to the podcastFree Quiz: https://www.jenpillipow.com/quiz/https://www.jenpillipow.com/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this introductory episode, I share why I believe self awareness is the ultimate foundational tool for self-care, authenticity, happiness and achieving your goals. We're all connected and everything we do is connected.The painter Antoni Tapies on the connectedness of things:"Take a look at the simplest of objects. Let's take, for example, an old chair. It seems like nothing.But think of the universe comprised within it: the sweaty hands cutting the wood that used to be a robust tree, full of energy, in the middle of a luxuriant forest by some high mountains. The loving work that built it, the joyful anticipation of the one who bought it, the tired bodies it has helped, the pains and the joys it must have endured, whether in fancy halls or in a humble dining room in your neighborhood.Everything, everything shares life and has its importance! Even the most worn down of chair carries inside the initial force of the sap climbing from the earth, out there in the forest, and will still be useful the day when, broken into kindling, it burns in some fireplace.” See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

I want to understand myself better and understand why I created a need for protection.It's not like I had a traumatic childhood - far from it! But I love this definition of trauma from Psychology Today:trauma is....

“We can never know the depth of our light until we are shown our darkness” Today on the show I talk about how the 2 different thoughts: "accepting yourself as is"; & "wanting to lose weight to look better", are actually the same thing and both require us to own our "shadow". "You must go into the dark in order to bring forth your light” - Debbie Ford. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

If you are pursuing a big goal and having trouble sticking to the journey you need to look at your tests, lessons, and who you want to become.Where are you currently being tested right now? How are you responding to these tests? What lessons are you learning?Are you peeling the layers to your authentic self? What tests do you see coming your way?As long as you have an end-goal, those tests will keep coming...when are you ready to step up and make the unfamiliar familiar, and the familiar unfamiliar?

Today I'm excited to talk about limiting beliefs from both the conscious and subconscious point of view. Because it's so important to me that you practice identifying your limiting beliefs, I created a free worksheet for you HERE. Identifying limiting beliefs is incredibly empowering and this is a great tool to equip you to finding yours. When we identify and eliminate beliefs holding us back we start to remove the layers covering our authentic selves, we stop sabotaging, people pleasing, living out of alignment to our true needs. We get to step into our true selves.I hope your journaling helps you identify your limiting beliefs and rewires your mind for better alignment with your authenticity! If you need more help you can schedule a free call with me on my website HERE.RTT is great for reprogramming your subconscious mind for confidence, releasing fears, self-sabotage, releasing anxiety, guilt, shame and other physical or emotional symptoms.I believe eliminating limiting beliefs are the gateway to living your authentic, higher version of your self and reaching all your goals, so you can live in alignment with what makes you happy. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

I’ve realized what the mother of all self-sabotage is.The more I see over-eating as a symptom and not the root of the issue – the more I realize food isn’t the saboteur. Sabotaging doesn't even really come from our thoughts or emotions – although they play a powerful role and can unlock the answers....You know what it is? The true sabotager?It’s suppressing your authentic self.When we don’t allow our authenticity, our self-expression to shine through – we become deeply unhappy. Then a couple of things happen. We look for external quick fixes – eating, drinking, shopping, etc.In this episode I explore this concept and what it means to align yourself with your inner compass (authentic self) to allow your right-size body to come to you. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In today's show I explore authenticity, patience, and gratitude.If you're a high performer, you'll want to understand the subtle shifts in these values so they resonate and help you on your journey.I talk abut the differences between:-patience and presence; -gratitude and appreciation; and,-surface authenticity and deep authenticity “There’s a vitality, a life force that’s translated through you into action and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly to keep the channel open” -Martha GrahamShow Notes:Kate Northrup interview with Jordan Shapirohttps://katenorthrup.com/podcast/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Many clients come to me wanting to stop overeating, bingeing, stop eating when they aren't hungry.I tell them those are just symptoms of an underlying root belief.And very often the root belief has NOTHING to do with food.It can sound confusing!In this bonus episode I break down common categories of subconscious belief structures that create the crazy symptoms we experience as adults. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Do you over-correct?Do you overeat, overdrink, and then promise to "eat only vegetables tomorrow" or "run 10 km tomorrow" to "make up for it"?Over-correcting leads to sabotage because as humans, living in that intensity of all-or-nothing completely sets us up to fail. Then when we don't meet our crazy high expectations, we feel bad about ourselves, and the cycle gets worse.“Most people need consistency more than intensity. Consistency = progress” James Clear.In this podcast episode I ask you to look for where you can be more consistent and less intense. If working out 5 days a week hasn't worked - try to be consistent with 3 days a week.If being on a strict diet makes you binge - try no rules, try listening to your body.

“I must learn to love the fool in me – the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs, and cries.It alone protects me against that utterly self-controlled, masterful tyrant whom I also harbour and who would rob me of my human aliveness, humility, and dignity but for my fool."By Theodore Rubin.In this episode I talk about the soft skills of weight loss with a focus on self-compassion. Why it's scary to be kind to ourselves + our bodies, and how to break the habit of being the masterful tyrant. Cracking the whip may get you to your goal, but it won't be sustainable. Self-compassion and presence will get you where you want to go, enjoy the journey, and build a sustainable life.I reference the work of Kristin Neff, and you can find her here:website https://self-compassion.org/The Stop Self-Sabotaging 3 Month Program includes RTT + Private Coaching - tackling both the subconscious and conscious mind for 100% consciousness.

“You can’t meet the desire of your soul with the logic of your mind & expect to get the result you want”-Elizabeth DiAltoYou can't expect an externally created diet to meet the desires of your soul when your soul craves growth.“You can’t have a happy ending to an unhappy journey”-Abraham-HicksI say this often – I don’t think diets are bad or wrong – I just think they’re incomplete – there’s just more to the journey.And that can be really fun to realize. You don’t need someone to tell you the answers (or give you the diet). You need to listen to yourself, know yourself, and trust yourself. Remembering overeating and weight are just symptoms – underneath it is really an opportunity for whatever individualistic growth your spirit, your soul desires.Join me LIVE in my facebook group ​​Friday, September 20 @ 3pm PDT ​when I answer all your questions about this episode.Stop Self-Sabotaging (clear the root) is a 3-month RTT & 1:1 Coaching program to peel the layers to your authentic self + completely shift your relationship with food.

"You’re not stuck. You’re just committed to a certain pattern of behaviour because they helped you in the past. Now those behaviours have become more harmful than helpful.

Well sometimes that freaks your brain out and throws you into sabotage-mode.Strategic Distraction is a conscious tool you can use to overcome it, stop sabotaging, and put your brain at ease by giving it a sense of control.I also talk about the FREE online series "Finding Joy" starting August 26th - you can register HERE.I reference Amy Cuddy's TED Talk: Your Body Language Shapes who you are"You can book your FREE initial RTT consult HERE.Have a great rest of summer and I'll talk to you September 12!

In this week's episode I share a short guided tool I learned from Tara Sophia Mohr https://www.taramohr.com/ to help you process any emotion. I highly recommend you do this 1-3 x a day to get good practice with it. When we get skilled at processing our emotions 2 things happen:you build trust and inner confidenceyou stop fearing feeling negative emotion and start going after your dreams .... because the worst thing that can ever happen is you feel a feeling. And if you can feel any feeling....you become unstoppableI can trace all my current and past struggles to not processing emotion. Now I check in multiple times a day and it's saving me a lot of inner drama!This tool will help you do this on a daily basis - it just takes a couple of minutes...and it's worth it.In terms of weight loss, think of it like this: if you practice daily feeling your emotions - then when you get the urge to binge / overeat due to an emotion - you would have built the new muscle memory that food isn't the answer - that you need to process the emotion by looking inwards.I like a sports analogy - it's like going to the driving range or batting cage to just hit the ball. You practice when there's no pressure to perform. You practice to get better and to train your mind.When you practice feeling your emotions in just a regular mundane day - when there's pressure to perform (ie: not binge when you're feeling really overwhelmed and stressed), your brain will revert back to what it's been practicing. Either you've been practicing feeling emotion, or you've been practicing eating. What do you want to practice and get good at? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
