If you're ready to visit or revisit this conversation and make a fresh start with how much money you spend on food and what exactly you're spending it on, tune in to learn my 3-step process to align your desired level of health with your budget so that you can have the best of both worlds.

If you were to search online for “What's so special about raw food?” you would find a number of different lists of reasons as to why raw food is good for you. These lists most likely will include the usual suspects such as: Better hair, skin and nails Better digestion More energy Weight loss Increased mental clarity More nutrients Anti-inflammatory Better health overall And while it's true, all of these things are part and parcel of eating more raw foods, that's not what I want to talk to you about today. While all of these benefits are, for sure, wonderful, let's be honest… when we take the time and effort to change our diet, what are we really looking for? Well, if you have health issues, then in the immediate term, it's going to be to correct those issues and get well again. However, if you're already healthy with nothing obviously wrong, then what would make you want to do things differently? I would say, “wanting to go next level.” And that's what we're talking about in this week's episode. Also mentioned: https://gorawwithkaren.com

Vision boards: whether you've never heard of them before or have created many of them and have them plastered all over your walls, I feel pretty sure that the ideas for next-level vision boards that I share with you in this podcast will be new and exciting to you! Normally, vision boards are about pasting a bunch of “this is what I want in my future” images all together on one page - and while that is great and definitely has its place, sometimes we are ready to mix it up and/or go deeper. In this podcast I share (literally) 5 cool vision board ideas that will transform your life, AND that will be a lot of fun to create along the way. As the holidays are fast approaching, I recommend that you set at least one day aside somewhere between 26th and 31st December and invest your time and energy into creating a vision for 2023 that you can fall truly, madly and deeply in love with to set yourself up for your best year yet.

The 7 reasons I cover are: Lack of clarity Mindset All-in commitment Identity Strategy with supporting habits Environment - internal & external Giving up at any point Tune in to get all the need-to-know on these.

In this special episode I share details of a process I developed over the years that has the power to put a rocket under your dreams (and yourself!) in a way that no other process does. It involves working with a space or room in your home, a goal or dream, and using some practical and metaphysical steps to transform any environment from one that might be keeping you stuck to one that is akin to a potent vortex that speeds your journey and the manifesting of your goal/dream, up. Sounds crazy, I know. But trust me, it works. Tune into this episode if you want to learn the how and to hear my story of how one intuitive moment while working the process led to thousands of pounds of unexpected income within a week. Resources mentioned during this podcast: Make Space for Magic program karenknowler.com/dreams - for opportunities, an inspiring video, a free workshop and a list of the various dreams and goals I have brought to life.  

If you're like most people, you have a whole bunch of goals, dreams and desires floating around your head and yet only some of them written down. As such it becomes genuinely difficult to track them and remember them – let alone make them all come true! To make matters even more complicated, that list comprises big goals, small goals, teen-tiny goals and the whopping life-changing goals that will take way more time, money and energy than all of the rest. How to corral this craziness? Create Your Queue of Dreams! Listen to this podcast and you will learn: What is a Queue of Dreams? The many great reasons to have one The special way you can use a Queue of Dreams to completely change your life The kinds of dreams that people include in their Queue of Dreams And the piece de resistance: How to get a free spot on the upcoming “Create Your Queue of Dreams” live interactive workshop happening on Saturday 12th November 2022.

When was the last time you took a day - or more - to take stock of your life? And I mean... your WHOLE life! If you're like everyone else I surveyed, your answer is 'never!' Well, maybe it's time to change all of that. After all, if you keep doing what you're doing, you'll keep getting what you're getting... And if that's music to your ears then a Life Review is probably not so necessary. However, if you know there's room for improvement and you want to go deep then this podcast will tell you how.

Do you eat too much? How would you know? Do you know how much food is right for YOUR body? And is eating too much costing you everything you say you want? In this podcast I talk about the elephant in the room - portion size - and how to eat less without feeling deprived or lacking in any way. This podcast is short, sweet and to the point, but will give you lots to think about, along with practical steps to take to ensure that eating less becomes something you're excited by rather than wanting to run the other way. It could just be the missing link.

Some people party, some people travel, some people reflect… In this week's episode I share how I decided how to spend my 50th birthday and the very strange events of the day before. You'll need to listen to the episode to find out more and to learn my philosophy on what to think and do when you have ‘a seriously bad day'. I forgot to mention on the podcast, but if you're ready to step into the Live Larger part of your journey, or want to go even further, then check out https://karenknowler.com/11days for something VERY special, unique and that's only for those who are ready.

So often people decide that quitting on something – e.g. a diet or a career path – “must be some kind of self-sabotage” and yet this is often NOT true. There is a flipside to self-sabotage that hardly anyone talks about: Maybe it's not about feeling undeserving or unworthy but, in fact, as simple as that something not actually being the right thing for you… Tune in to learn how to tell the difference and how to know what you DO want instead when you have no clue. Enjoy this episode? Connect with me and share your thoughts over at: https://karenknowler.com/episode-16-is-it-really-self-sabotage-or-something-much-more-exciting/

How's your relationship with alcohol? If you're currently consuming alcohol but aren't sure whether in fact you want to, or you're considering changing your drinking habits, this one is for you. To be clear, in this episode, I do not tell you what to do or think or feel about alcohol, instead I give you the tools to come to your own conclusions based on your own first-hand experience and also how the four different aspects of you - body, heart, mind and soul - all view your consumption of it. Out the other side of the process I share with you (allow about 40 minutes to complete it fully) you will be crystal clear on what you want to do around alcohol and you'll have more clarity around alcohol and how it affects you - for better or worse - than you ever thought possible. I invite you to suspend judgment, the urge to predict or sway any outcome and just go through the process step-by-step as I give it to you. And absolutely feel free to share this with a friend, colleague or family member who you think might want to come to their own conclusions. I look forward to hearing how you got on with it in the comments below! PS: Want to quit alcohol for a week and feel fresh, shiny and new? Join me for CLEANSE! starting on Monday 3rd October 2022.

I juice cleanse every January, April, July and October, and I absolutely love it! In this episode I share my own personal reasons for doing so, why other people choose to cleanse and why this next cleanse will be my most potent and important of 2022. As you may or may not know, I run the CLEANSE! program every quarter to guide, support and help people to juice cleanse for a 3-7 day period. And this is no ordinary cleanse! I share more on the podcast as to what makes this different, and how ultimately it's a cleanse of body, mind, heart and soul.

This episode comes in direct response to a listener request for input into her own situation of wanting to make a big move but feeling torn between pursuing her dream and listening to the not so positive thoughts and opinions of others. In this session I give my own thoughts and advice on how to move beyond this confusion, into clarity, commitment and action... and so much more!

In this episode we mix things up a bit with all things junk food and specifically facts and figures. For example, did you know that one can of coca-cola has 10 teaspoons of sugar in it? Or how about the mystery (and very grim) something you'll find in 48% of fast-food restaurant soda fountains… any ideas what that may be? And… (and this is not a joke) how many cows does it take to make a hamburger? (The true answer is far from amusing…) How many years will French fries and hamburgers stay looking the same as the day you purchased them? All this and more is discussed in today's episode where I pull back the curtain, not only on the craziness that is junk food but also on the wider conversation of why do we even still have fast food joints and what are they really costing us? Let me know how this episode lands for you by sharing with me in the comments over at https://karenknowler.com/episode-11-some-eye-opening-facts-about-junk-food-you-probably-dont-know/ Mentioned during this episode: Cut the Crap! program

If you find yourself wondering why you still haven't changed your diet and/or life, and you're starting to think that there's more to it than just being ‘busy' - this episode is for you! Sometimes we have to take a closer look at why we're not making the changes we say that we want to make. Yes, ‘busy' can be real, and sometimes being busy is the only reason, but often it's so much more than that. In this episode I share a short but illuminating coaching exercise that will take just a few minutes to complete but will help you to get to the bottom of the REAL reason why you've been avoiding making those changes. Out the other side of that I give you opportunity to claim to be all-in or all-out and how to know which one is right for you. Limbo is an awful place to be and absolutely unnecessary! Dive into this short and sweet episode that will help you to clarify what's really going on, once and for all. Mentioned during this episode: "Cut the Crap!" program

Have you ever found yourself on the receiving end of concern, negativity, unhelpful, or even rude comments about your way of eating? Whether they're coming from your nearest and dearest or even a complete stranger, I know, any type of negative comment or so-called joke, can sting. Today's episode is for you if you're currently struggling with pushback around your diet and you want to know how to handle it. It's not just a case of knowing what to do or say, but also about understanding why this happens in the first place and what is really going on inside someone who can't seem to let your diet be your business. I learned a surprising lesson about this many years ago and in this episode I share how you cannot (and should not) assume that you know why someone is saying what they're saying because often there's actually something quite different to what you might think going on underneath the surface. Currently going through this or need any additional help? Post your situation in the comments section below.

Today we are talking about Living Larger. What does it mean, and more importantly, what does it mean to you? In this episode I discuss the important of having a vision - first for your diet, body and health, and then, off the back of that, your life. In short, you need to know what you want Living Larger to translate to for you. I also discuss the role and importance of energy. Without it, we cannot build, move forward, create. And yet, we can spend our energy quicker than we accumulate it. This typically happens when we don't have a clear path for ourselves. And so, via this podcast and also here on the page, you are warmly invited - and if you'll let me - enthusiastically escorted, to https://karenknowler.com/podcast where you can download your very own copy of the Eat Cleaner, Live Larger Roadmap and also gain automatic access to the accompanying workshop which will handhold you through the planning of your own ECLL journey. At the end of this podcast I announced that “Cut the Crap!” is now enrolling. Check it out at https://karenknowler.com/cutthecrap, and if you move quickly, you could bag the Early Bird pricing and even some Fast Action Bonuses. This program will help you to move from POOR to GOOD (or better) on the ECLL Roadmap in all 5 areas of Diet, and set you up to create an amazing level of health and happiness off the back of all of the changes you can make with the support of this program. There's some other cool features that I won't share here, but let's just say this program is EXTRA SPECIAL. And did I say, the words "my next book"? Yes, I believe I just did. So, what does Living Larger mean to you? I'd love you to share it with me in the comments below/ over at https://karenknowler.com/episode-8-lets-talk-about-living-larger/

It's another longer episode this week - just shy of an hour. This is for those of you who want a deep dive into many things, but especially into why people tend to “fail” quickly when trying to change their diet. By learning what the 3 most important questions are and applying what you learn, you will set yourself up for real, long-lasting success that actually gets you to where you want to be. Some of the things I talk about in this episode: Interest versus Readiness versus Commitment How to know how ready you actually are to change your diet How to get your readiness score up The importance of clarifying and specifying your desired result and how to do that The 9 different areas you should look at in order to fully appraise the benefits of changing your diet Why most people are NOT successful with dietary change The importance of having a plan Why just knowing what to eat is only PART of your plan Where to start in your planning journey At the end of this podcast I announced the birth of one of the most amazing programs I've ever created - “Cut the Crap!” Details will be going live on Monday 8th August 2022 at https://karenknowler.com/cutthecrap. This is going to be a super BIG DEAL and the program that so many of you have been waiting for. Be sure to check that page when it goes live on 8/8/22. This week's podcast is literally PACKED with golden nuggets. I'd love to know what your favourite 3 takeaways were. Please share them with me and others via the podcast episode page on my website at https://karenknowler.com/episode-7-the-3-most-important-questions-to-ask-when-preparing-to-change-your-diet/

I have an extra juicy episode for you this week! It's twice as long as usual, but oh so worth it because there's so many gems in this one - my hope is that you will learn a LOT. Eating when tired… Ever done it?! Of course you have… we've all done it. However… What if your “extra curricular consumption” is creating issues for you? What if it's the difference between whether you lose weight or gain it? What if it's leading to broken or poor sleep? What if it's making you feel sick and bloated most nights of the week? What if it's stopping you from utilising some of the most potent hours of your day to change your life? And what if it's getting in the way of intimacy in your relationships? Yes, there's a huge price that we pay when we eat when we're tired, and so… In this special episode I cover: The many different reasons why we eat when we're tired How to get excited about going to bed early - rather than eating - even if you've resisted early nights in the past. (My special hack on this is a winner!) Why we eat for emotional reasons and the price we pay when it becomes normal (I talk about “the window of consumption” versus “the window of opportunity”) What to eat if you still want to eat when you're tired At 43:15 I share a special coaching activity: How to Create Your Night-Time Eating Upgrade List. Follow my instructions and your evening eating habits will be transformed for the better and in a way you'll still love and enjoy. Please come over to karenknowler.com/podcast to share your aha's, thoughts and - if you make them - new strategies, to banish extra curricular consumption from your menu! I would love to hear from you.

When you hear the phrase, “crap food”, you probably think about junk food, right? And while that's true, junk food is (quite frankly) crap food, there are two other types of crap food – and drink – that you're probably not thinking about. In this episode, I discuss what these other two groups are, and how you can clarify for yourself exactly what foods and drinks are crap for you, as a unique individual. I also discuss how powerful it is when we clarify this list for ourselves and start living by it, thus bringing an end to the inner turbulence that creates so much stress and angst for so many people trying to clean up their diet. By the end of the podcast you'll be clear on EXACTLY what crap food means to you personally, and be all set to start that life-affirming journey of cutting it out of your life once and for all. If you want to get the most from this episode, be sure to have a pen and paper to hand (or better still, a note-taking app) and be ready to hit the pause button. I'll be giving you some prompts to stop and write your three lists so that out the other side you have one complete list all in one place. * If you take action on this episode, I promise it will be both eye-opening and a game changer! Let me know how you get on with this, or ask any questions, over at https://karenknowler.com/podcast  

In this episode, I share why I refuse to use the term “bad food day” and what I recommends you call any less-than-great eating days, instead. The truth is, these kinds of days actually come with many blessings – if we choose to receive them. Tune in to this episode to learn how to turn what you might normally call a Bad Food Day into one of the most helpful days of your dietary journey.

If you don't know YOUR Eater Type yet, it's time you found out! In this podcast I share the backstory to how I first discovered the 10 Eater Types, why they have become her single greatest tool for helping to provide personalised guidance for each of of my clients, and I also discuss the helpful and less helpful aspects of each Type and why this is must-know information if you are serious about success. Take the 2-minute Eater Type quiz here.

Knowing why you want to change your body, diet or life is imperative. Contrary to popular belief, it's not enough to simply think or say, ‘I just want to feel better,' or, ‘I want to get into my skinny jeans again' – this will only get you so far and for so long. If you are serious about long-term success, what you really need to know is your deepest why, your most personal and meaningful reason/s for wanting what you want around your diet, body and health. This episode includes a short-and-powerful exercise to get to the heart of your deeper why, and works in conjunction with a complementary worksheet. Download the worksheet here.

In this very first episode, "My Story", I take it back to the very beginning and talk about my own journey and relationship with food and the life-changing events that changed my eating habits, both consciously and unconsciously, along the way. You'll hear me talk about my time in a butcher's shop, why it took me so long to go vegetarian, and my chocolate chip cookie addiction, among many other things. I also dive deeper into the more personal events of my life and how they impacted my eating and why I gained weight and struggled to lose it for many years. If you don't know me yet, or think you know me and won't hear anything new - you'll be surprised!
