She is passionate about helping young girls and women overcome an unhealthy relationship with food after spending years of her own life stuck in the mental prison that is disordered eating. Her education in the field began in her undergraduate years at Vanderbilt University, where she studied eating psychology and nutrition. During that time, she was also certified in the National Eating Disorder Awareness foundation's Body Project certification program to support women's relationships with their bodies.Her interests progressed into physique and performance evidence-based training and nutrition while maintaining a positive relationship with food and one's body (certifications through NASM). Her coaching centers on getting women out of the rut of under-fueling and over-training, out of the yo-yo cycle, and out of the mystery of how to fuel one's body (blocking out all the noise out there!) while building a positive outlook towards nutrition.Sophie also supports her clients who are interested in gut and hormone health. Her interest in this field started from her own experience with IBS, acne, and painful/irregular periods that she wanted to support holistically. Her approach to hormonal support and gut health focuses heavily on evidence-based lifestyle and nutrition approaches rather than excessive supplementation and overly restrictive methods. Some conditions Sophie works with include: IBS, IBD, bloating/indigestion, dysmenorrhea, PCOS, PMS, low thyroid, and chronic stress/fatigue. Please note, Sophie is not a medical professional and provides holistic support for these conditions within her scope of practice; please consult a medical professional for these conditions first.Outside of coaching, Sophie is an animal-lover and enjoys spending her free time riding her horse and hiking with her pup. She has traveled and lived abroad extensively and loves getting to enjoy cuisines from all over the world. She loves spending time getting stronger in the gym, giving it her all at trivia nights, and exploring her home base in Nashville.  See links below to follow Sophie and learn more about working with her:https://biolayne.com/coach/sophie-gervais/IG @asophiesticatedlife___Disclaimer: The content of this podcast is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

In this episode of "Transform Your Mind to Transform Your Life," Coach Myrna delves into the theme of "Motivation for Growth: How to Stay Inspired Every Day." Coach Myrna explores the critical role of mindset tools to master the mind and reveals how one's pre-set goals might unconsciously impact daily motivation. The episode hinges on the central idea that whether consciously or unconsciously, individuals derive some benefit from their current state, and thus, understanding and reconfiguring one's mindset is key to creating lasting change.Coach Myrna emphasizes the power of positive thought and mindset development, drawing on the scripture Philippians 4:8 to underscore that focusing on whatever is true, noble, and lovely can transform your life. She discusses the importance of filtering thoughts through a positive lens, replacing negative thoughts with empowering affirmations, and continually guarding the mind's gate against negativity. This episode is a mini guide on how to direct one's thoughts with intent and purpose to manifest desired outcomes in life.Notable Quotes:"Your mindset is your operating system. If it is sluggish, then you just want to lay around not motivated to do anything.""Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, think about such things.""Your brain cannot focus on a negative and a positive thought at the same time.""Set your mind, save your peace. Getting your mind right is not a one-time event. It is a daily practice."To advertise on our podcast, visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/TransformyourMindor email kriti@youngandprofiting.com See this video on The Transform Your Mind YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@MyhelpsUs/videosTo see a transcripts of this audio as well as links to all the advertisers on the show page https://myhelps.us/Follow Transform Your Mind on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/myrnamyoung/Follow Transform Your mind on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063738390977Please leave a rating and review on iTunes https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/transform-your-mind/id1144973094 https://podcast.feedspot.com/personal_development_podcasts/

Being present in a group of people can feel uncomfortable, and it can be intimidating–scary, even–to open up and be vulnerable with others. But as humans, we need meaningful connection. It is truly one of the most powerful tools we have for growth.In this episode, I'm joined by my friend and colleague, tapping coach Melanie Fay. Together, we are hosting The Deep Reset Retreat this October, and today we're inviting you into a conversation about the power of being present and having meaningful connection with others–two things that make an in-person women's retreat such an incredible opportunity for change.We have all felt the effects of isolation over the last several years. While virtual tools expanded our world in many ways, the pandemic also caused us to lose touch with the benefits of in-person connection and the fabric of a community. Many of us continue to feel the impact of this disconnection today.Increasing connection in your daily life is important, but there is nothing quite like stepping into a dedicated space for growth and belonging. When you step away from your familiar roles and responsibilities, you create space to reset and refresh. You experience the safety that allows you to be fully present and find clarity.At The Deep Reset Retreat, a group of women will gather with intention—with the desire to heal, grow, and expand. In such a genuine space, you can feel the energy of support and connection. You can feel the permission to simply be yourself. And from that place, what you most need for your next chapter naturally comes forward. I can't wait for you to hear all about it in this episode.What you'll learn:How isolation brings opportunities to see where we're unfulfilled and make a changeThe power of newness and how a fresh space allows you to see yourself differentlyWhy a sense of belonging is essential for the empowerment that comes from being fully yourselfHow meaningful connection provides the safety and permission we need for growthHow your capacity for being present expands when you travel to a space dedicated to slowing downYou can read the full show notes here.About Melanie FayMelanie is a gifted EFT (Tapping) practitioner and healer who specializes in helping women release emotional wounds from the past to step boldly into their present.

In this episode of Durand on Demand, Dave unpacks the most powerful force in the world: decision. Every part of life flows from the choices we make — but it's not just the primary decisions (to take a job, get married, or start something) that matter. It's the secondary decisions and recommitments that determine whether we thrive or fail.Recorded live, Dave illustrates this through the story of King David — a leader who chose comfort over adventure and fell into folly — and shows how the same dynamic plays out in our own lives. The path forward, he explains, lies in the virtues: prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance.This talk also explores the universal desires of every human being — goodness, beauty, truth, and unity — and why denying truth or lowering standards leads to distortion and decline. At its core, this is a call to live a life of adventure, virtue, and reality.✅ What You'll Learn:Why decision is the most powerful force in your lifeThe difference between primary and secondary decisionsWhy comfort leads to folly and adventure fosters growthHow prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance shape optimizationThe universal human desires: goodness, beauty, truth, and unityWhy rejecting objective truth destroys clarity and characterThis episode is both a wake-up call and a roadmap: choose adventure, embrace virtue, and ground yourself in truth.

Welcome to Episode 63 of the Freedom Factory Podcast! In this episode, host Brandon Cunningham shares one of the most powerful frameworks for building a thriving network marketing business: the 5 & 5 Rule.After nearly 16 years in the profession—front row, front seat—Brandon has seen what works and what doesn't. And while goals are great, it's standards that shape your future. This episode is a masterclass in setting the right standards to create leverage, duplication, and long-term growth.Brandon breaks down the two non-negotiables every leader must adopt:Keep 5 active, commissionable frontline partners at all timesGet those 5 to every major destination eventWhy? Because events build belief, and belief drives behavior. When your partners attend events, they come home with renewed energy, clarity, and commitment—and that translates into hours of productivity you didn't have to personally invest. It's the ultimate leverage.Whether you're just starting out or leading a large organization, this episode will help you reset your standards, reignite your team, and build a business that grows with or without you.

You built it to grow, to scale your business, and to position yourself as the only one who can solve your dream client's problem.We'll cover:The 3 biggest mistakes keeping you stuck in the Bestie ZoneWhy being too relatable in your messaging actually blocks brand growthHow to shift from friendly to activating with clarity and confidenceTangible strategies to position your brand as irresistible (without losing your warmth or personality)If you've been wondering why people engage with your content but don't buy, this episode is your wake-up call.Because here's the truth: branding is more than a pretty vibe—it's about messaging that moves people. And when you nail your positioning, you won't just have fans… you'll have paying clients who can't wait to work with you.Ready to stop being “everyone's bestie” and start being the brand they buy from? → Tune in now and let's get you out of the Bestie Zone for good.Feeling the pull to have more of me in your world?

Have you ever dreamed about taking a three-week vacation without your business falling apart?Or maybe just getting a full weekend without checking Slack, Asana, or inboxes that feel like they multiply overnight?Friend, if that feels impossible... I want you to know: it's not. You just need better systems.In this solo episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of what actually allows businesses to scale beyond 7-figures: not magic, not hustle... but systems that work without you.I've worked with business owners making $5M, $8M, and beyond—and you'd be shocked at how many of them are still stuck working in the weeds. And guess what? Most of them have one big thing in common: no solid systems.Here's the truth: you have to earn the right to climb out of the work. And you earn it by building systems that empower your team to succeed without you micromanaging every detail.In this episode, I answer real Instagram questions from fellow entrepreneurs (like Alex and Rachel) who are overwhelmed, overworked, and asking: “How do I get OUT of the day-to-day and INTO scaling?”Together we break down:The myth that systems are something you “do later”Why creating SOPs isn't optional if you want to scaleHow we use tools like Notion and Asana to make our systems airtightMy personal 4-step delegation framework I learned from Teresa LoweAnd YES—I even walk you through an actual SOP from my teamThis isn't just a pep talk.
