In this episode, I break down the process of setting & enforcing boundaries in your life into 5 simple steps. Boundaries are something we all need, and if we don't have them, we'll end up incredibly unhappy & unfulfilled.Setting boundaries isn't enough though. They're no good if you don't communicate them AND enforce them. A boundary that isn't enforced is basically just a wish, and that's not going to cut it.*********One more thing I think you'll love...Our *TOTALLY FREE* DREAM LIFE FACEBOOK COMMUNITY!If you LOVE this podcast & want to connect with me, along with other like-minded people who are taking action to [start living their dream life] too, this will be your jam!We do live Q&A's, weekly freebies, giveaways & I share a lot of practical tips & strategies to help you realize your potential and live a dream life in alignment with your authentic self!Click here to join: https://www.facebook.com/groups/dreamlifesupportgroupOr search "Optimize Your Dream Life Support Group" on Facebook and request to join; we'll let you in right away!Also if we're not connected on Instagram yet, I'd love for you to come say hi!My personal account → @thejoshpierce

In this episode, I break down how I hit my daily movement goal consistently, without having to think about it. If you don't have a daily movement goal, I totally recommend you do, as staying active is one of the greatest predictors of long-term health. Whether you count your steps, close out your rings, use a Fitbit, or something else, hitting your movement goal daily doesn't need to come down to tracking the numbers closely each night before bed. Instead, follow my "4 Simple Steps to Hitting Your Movement Goal" framework, to know exactly what it takes to hit your goals.Where to find me:Instagram: @thejoshpierce(Free) FB Tribe: https://facebook.com/groups/fittobefierceIf you enjoyed this episode, please consider leaving a rating & review on iTunes to support The Fit To Be Fierce Podcast!

Have you been trying to lose weight since forever?!In this amazing live chat with Coach Robyn, we dived into WHY dieting all year round is a big no-no, and how you should be planning your weight loss phases instead.My clients see SO MUCH MORE SUCCESS when they learn they should be breaking up their weight loss phases.Long story short, your body will eventually catch on to what you're doing and will get SUUUUPER EFFICIENT. You don't want that.Efficient means that it gets by burning less calories (think like tightening up the budget). Burning less calories means you get to eat less food without weight gain AND it's harder to lose weight.You want to be a calorie-burning machine, always and forever!Robyn and I nerd out on the WHY and HOW behind this stuff so you can do it on your own EFFICIENTLY and EFFECTIVELY......because let's face it—nobody likes to try losing weight, only to see the scale not budge.Oh, and the FREEDOM and PEACE you get to enjoy when you're not dieting all year long is incredible.Where to find Coach Robyn:Instagram: @robyn_yql_nutritionWhere to find me:Instagram: @thejoshpierce(Free) FB Tribe: https://facebook.com/groups/fittobefierceIf you enjoyed this episode, please consider leaving a rating & review on iTunes to support The Fit To Be Fierce Podcast!
