How do you define wellness? Listen in today for how we do, and if you enjoy this episode we want you to join us for How to Live Well on July 11th - 13th. Key points: Wellness begins with spiritual wellness, and the Goodness of God trickles down to emotional wellness and physical wellness. We often approach this backwards, or don't connect these at all. God has provided us with traditional pharmacies (medications that we often think of that I am so thankful for) but He has also given us an internal pharmacy through the chemicals that are created in our bodies, and He has given us a natural pharmacy in the form of the foods that we eat. We can harness the power of these to create a life of peace and harmony-- so that we can reach out a hand to help others and focus on our God-given purpose. The world offers up a different version of wellness- it's is empty and focuses on achieving the pinnacle of human potential. It is a road to nowhere and another form of trying to work our way to worthiness. You can create a life of wellness now- as you are- and allow that to naturally create results towards your goals. God first, creates wellness and wholeness, and then results. Not the other way around.

If you are on a health journey-- or any goal-oriented journey for that matter-- you will likely discover some weaknesses along the way. Often, the key to reaching our goals is overcoming these weaknesses. This seems obvious enough, however, many of us tend to avoid these and we spend lots of time and energy "working" on our goals without ever really changing the thing that will move the needle for us. In a recent Monday Mindset session we discussed this topic and decided to share some thoughts about it with you all here on the podcast. If you enjoy this session, you would LOVE what we are putting together for our July event: How to Live Well.

I wanted to take some time today to paint a picture of what freedom looks like. We talk about it in coaching all the time. This amazing thing happens when you cling to truth and learn how to eliminate the drama from your own mind.

I'm fresh off of an exciting day of client breakthroughs and pumped up to share with you about creating powerful thoughts.

In our last episode we explored what a coach is-- and today we are talking about what the coach ISN'T, so that you fully know what to expect.

The concept of coaching (life coaching, health coaching) can be somewhat vague if you haven't experienced it before. Many people think that a coach is there to hold your hand, to tell you what to do, to hold you accountable-- but a coaching relationship is SO much more than that. Imagine a place where you can be totally honest, open, vulnerable without judgement. Listen in to learn what makes a coaching relationship so special.

Today I'm sharing one of my favorite insights from the book Get Out of Your Head by Jennie Allen. It's called Mind-Mapping and I've used it on multiple occasions to tackle feelings of overwhelm.
