When I was still at my 9-to-5 corporate job, struggling, wanting to leave, knowing I needed to start a business, there was one key person who helped me make my dreams of being an entrepreneur come true. That was Kim Argetsinger. Today, I am so excited to have her on the podcast! Kim was my very first coach who helped me build the foundation and confidence that I needed to thrive and succeed as an entrepreneur. Here's the craziest thing, Kim is now alcohol-free. In this episode, we have a full-circle, serendipitous conversation on our journeys to being alcohol-free, Kim's nuanced relationship with alcohol, its impact on her professional and personal life, and how this shift has led her to deeper self-awareness and success.

Strength to Strength welcomed Dan Ziegler on an off-Saturday to discuss the politics of Jesus' nation.According to recent research from Barna Group, more practicing Christians believe the government is responsible to create meaningful change, rather than the church.Dan's essay, “A Question of Power,” provides an outline of Jesus' relation to the world as a model for His followers.With Election Day in the United States only ten days away, this talk is not only timely but important for those who wish to follow the King Jesus while residing in a world with the church enamored by political power.An interactive question-and-answer period follows.Recommended, also by Dan Ziegler:Essay: Following Jesus into the Bible – How Anabaptists Understand Scripture, Part 1Essay: Jesus means what He says and He is talking to us! – How Anabaptists Understand Scripture, Part 2YouTube video: Why Do They Live That Way, Part 1YouTube video: Why Do They Live That Way, Part 2

Jackie Fletcher and Louise Reynolds were both morbidly obese at one point but both follow a ketogenic lifestyle now and both have reversed that situation although they followed very different paths to get there. Louise is a university professor from Australia although currently she is resident in Bangkok. After trying everything to beat it she finally made the decision to have weight loss surgery. Determined to use the surgery as a tool, she went through ongoing therapy to help her refrain from the emotional eating she felt had got her there and over the next 3 years she had lost about 90 lbs and was keeping it off but it was hard work. Then she had a massive motorbike accident which left her with many injuries and incredible chronic pain. Her mother was that one who suggested to her that she try the ketogenic diet to help with the pain. She found that one of the side effects was to lose another 40 lbs and, not only that, but she found it was now so easy to stay on track and keep the weight off. Jackie had also tried everything and besides the weight gain she was a suffering from debilitating migraines (12 or so a month), ulcers and a score of other issues. She had given up on life and was convinced that any sort of diet does not work until she heard about the book called 'Why We Get Fat' by Gary Taubes and the light bulb went on. Like most of us she had to find her way with this lifestyle but she started seeing results right away and that inspired her to learn more to do it better. They are both thriving now and together they produce the Fabulously Keto Podcast where they strive to help others turn their lives around Jackie manages the Fabulously Keto Website where she provides online coaching as well.

How you should create and adhere to goals. Maybe you're scared of judgement or not actually ready for the change. Listen to this weeks episode to dive into why you're goals may be setting your up for failure. Workout & Nutrition Ebooks Subscription Programs Weekly Newsletter

I want to tell you about a book I read. It was so fabulous, I think I might just have to read it again. Better Than Before: Mastering the habits of our everyday lives by Gretchen Rubin This book didn't say "Just do this and your set." It didn't even say, "Here's one way and see if it works for you." And it didn't just say, "Everyone's different, do your best, here are some principles." It said, "Here's how we're different. Here are examples of what that looks like is real life. What sounds like you? Here are a few ideas for folks that see themselves in this camp and some for this camp, etc." Not only does it acknowledge we're all different, but it promises hope that by understanding and embracing more of ourselves, we'll be more successful in our goals. Are you an Upholder, an Obliger, a Questioner, or a Rebel? Are you an Abstainer or a Moderator? Are you an Early Bird or a Night Owl? These are some of the categories Gretchen Rubin identifies and explains in the book. I've decided I'm an Obliger with Upholder tendencies and I both abstain from some things in my life in order to stay healthy, but then stay moderate in other areas with no problems. I'm definitely more of an Early Bird. Let's say you were a Questioning Moderate Nightowl, and you were advised to get up early before the rest of the house woke up, and exercised (or wrote in your novel) every day. You, never mind how hard you tried or what attitude you strapped on, you wouldn't find success with that habit for very long. It's just not you. And instead of hating yourself for not getting it right again, or failing again, or wondering why you can't get your shit together.. Instead, embrace the core things about you. USE them. I have a client that is a firm Obliger. She finds it very difficult to self-motivate and only gets tasks done if she's externally motivated and held accountable for the very things she really wants to do. Instead of succumbing to the irritation and frustration of never getting things done, she embraced that obliging tendency to do work for others and now has a team of people that work for her. She has a personal trainer. She has a business coach. She has a counselor. She has hiking buddies. She has a housekeeper. If you are a Questioner, you'll say, "But WHY is it that I need to do this before anyone else gets up? What difference does it make WHEN I do this? As long as I do this. When else makes sense to do this? And how much time a day do I REALLY need to put in to see real results? If you are a Questioner, you're a researcher. Embrace that. Figure out, through questioning, what and when is right for you. And, if you're a night owl, no amount of discipline or willpower or going to bed early is going to shift that nature enough to help you sustainably and consistently get up at 5:30 a.m. And if you tend to be more moderate in your behaviors, why would an all or nothing, do it every day, don't break the chain habit ever work for you? Embrace the moderation, if that is in you. Be proud that you can take a day or two off of habitual behavior and not have it disintegrate. You're someone that doesn't have to do a behavior every day to make it stick. Another thing I appreciated from this book was when she said that our "identity" shifted based on what we were presented with. For instance, I can be moderate in drinking alcohol. I can have a glass or two of wine and not want anymore. I self-"identify" as someone who can be moderate with my alcohol consumption. BUT, I have to abstain from sugar. I can't have it in the house, or I'll eat a whole chocolate bar in one sitting. Those big jugs of chocolate-covered salted caramels from Costco? Shit. I'm lost. And they're all gone in a weekend. I can't stop myself. It's disgusting. I feel disgusting as I'm doing it and I can't stop. So, I'm Moderate in some things, but I know I have to Abstain from others to build good habits. What habits are you wanting to change or add to your life or business? How can you use your personality and strengths to become more successful?

Have you heard about the difference between moderators and abstainers? This is important information to know about yourself when it comes to following any nutrition program. Put simply, moderators find that occasional indulgence strengthens their commitment to stay on track. Meanwhile, abstainers have trouble stopping eating something once they’ve started–so they do better staying away completely. There’s no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ way–it’s just a matter of knowing which strategy works better for you. In this episode of the podcast, Adee and Michael explain exactly how to determine which category you fit into. They also offer practical tips for how to use this information to follow through with your nutrition goals. They also discuss what to do if you live with someone in the opposite category of yours.

On my recent girls trip to Sedona, a hot topic came up about being a moderator vs an abstainer. This conversation was inspired by two of the women I was with sharing their experiences feeling overwhelmed when trying to moderate alcohol and food in their life. One woman shared her story of giving up alcohol two years ago because it had become so exhausting to manage her relationship with it. She found herself constantly negotiating with herself about when she would drink, how much she would drink and her struggle to maintain boundaries that felt good to her. She ultimately gave alcohol up all together – which felt terrifying at the time. She equated it to a breaking up with a boyfriend. Two years later she can see how much freedom she has regained in choosing to be an abstainer when it comes to alcohol. Another friend shared her struggle with consistently making food choices that support her goals. She talked about the struggles she has when she allows herself to indulge in treats but then finds it taking days, weeks, sometimes months to get back into food routines that support her health goals. Like the friend who struggled with alcohol, this woman finds her relationship with food to be consuming to the point of often being exhausting and overwhelming. Perhaps abstaining from indulgences would be more liberating?? There is a lot of societal messaging around moderation. But for some people, moderation is actually much harder work that abstaining from something all together. Often the “treats” we try to enjoy in moderation make us feel worse instead of better – even though we think the indulgence will feel fantastic in the moment. If the aftermath is fraught with regret, remorse, and frustration, then moderation is not really an effective habit, is it? In this episode, I dive more deeply into this conversation and into some of Gretchen Rubin’s teachings on the topic of moderating vs abstaining. It’s pretty fascinating. I think you’ll find it interesting and helpful if you ever struggle with maintaining habits that best support your goals. Please share this with other Shameless Moms in your life who might find value in this conversation.

Sugar is DEATH to a lot of people. It is, without a doubt, the most questioned & vilified food. It’s also the most celebrated and the one people struggle with the most, on an emotional and physical level. This stuff runs deep. I was tormented by sugar for YEARS. I’d abstain & then I’d binge, over and over again, ashamed & miserable. I’ve pulled myself out of that hole and have never looked back. I’m sharing this episode to let you know that there IS a way out of this cycle, one that’s sustainable & fun, a way that YOU choose, where you stand solid and empowered with your choices. No food has to have control over you. The episode covers: - Why “getting sugar out of the house” isn’t a sustainable answer - How to begin to heal your physical & emotional relationship to sugar - Is sugar really a “drug”? - Looking at sugar from a human perspective - How to stop judging your sugar consumption - Abstainer vs. moderator - How to become empowered & autonomous around your food choices - Bingeing & sugar aka my own personal stories - Stopping the up & down cycle with sugar - A proposal for a different, sustainable approach with sugar - Control vs. trust - Tips for saying NO & creating boundaries around food Mentions: Ashley’s blog posts about sugar: How to feel good in the holiday season http://ashleypardo.com/2016/11/21/how-to-feel-good-during-the-holidays/ Real talking sugar http://ashleypardo.com/2014/06/26/real-talking-sugar/ Intuitive eating & sugar http://ashleypardo.com/2017/06/16/intuitive-eating-sugar/ Wired to eat by Robb Wolf https://www.amazon.com/Wired-Eat-Cravings-Appetite-Determine/dp/0451498569/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1513040061&sr=1-1&keywords=wired+to+eat Gretchen Rubin’s blog https://gretchenrubin.com/ Abstainer vs. moderator https://gretchenrubin.com/2012/10/back-by-popular-demand-are-you-an-abstainer-or-a-moderator/ The four tendencies https://www.amazon.com/Four-Tendencies-Indispensable-Personality-Profiles/dp/1524760919/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1513038142&sr=8-1&keywords=gretchen+rubin Better than before https://www.amazon.com/Better-Than-Before-Habits-Procrastinate/dp/0385348630/ref=pd_bxgy_14_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=TQ4BVH8FTEP3M9JM9515 www.ashleypardo.com Follow Ashley on Instagram @ashleykpardo

Two weeks ago we talked about some of the life’s transitions we have experienced, how we navigated them, and what we learned. After that conversation, we realized that there were two things that made every transition easier. Community and self-awareness. Today Kimberly, Elise, and Kimberly talk self-awareness, what it means, and some simple ways we can discover a little bit more about ourselves.
