Leveling Up: Creating Everything From Nothing with Natalie Jill
Ever feel like life throws you curveballs just when you think you've got it all figured out?In this episode of Midlife Conversations, I sit down with Maria Kang, a total fitness icon, who's sharing her journey through something she never expected—a stage four cancer diagnosis. Maria's story is a powerful one. She's spent her life dedicated to health and fitness, but all of that was flipped upside down. We dive into how she handled it, the struggles she's faced before (including her battle with an eating disorder), and how her mom's health issues pushed her to a new level of self-awareness. Maria also opens up about her spiritual awakening—letting go of emotional trauma, finding self-love, and even using meditation and plant medicine to heal. We're talking about everything from leaning into adversity, connecting with your inner child, and leaning on your community for healing. It's real, raw, and something you've got to hear. Are you ready to turn life's biggest challenges into your biggest transformations?

I made a few posts on Twitter this week about women like Scarlett Johansson being mid, and wondering what the heck happened to former pro-wrestler and reality TV star, Nikki Bella. To be fair, Scarlett wasn't REALLY looking that bad, but Nikki definitely let herself go. In the comments women and beta males alike were making excuses saying things like, "but they had children!" You know who never made excuses for her body after having kids? Maria Kang, more widely remembered as "No Excuse Mom" who was shamed for actually CARING what her body looked like after having three children! We are putting an end to the insanity today! We are putting our feet down and we are telling everyone that THERE IS NO EXCUSE TO LET YOURSELF GO! // BOOK // Get my Amazon #1 Best Selling Book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CNH88C47 Autographed copies: https://comeonmanpod.gumroad.com/l/books // COURSES // No Cold Approach in The Cow Pasture (Online Dating Course): http://dates.comeonmanpod.com Practical Law of Attraction course: http://loa.comeonmanpod.com // COACHING AND OTHER RESOURCES // Beer Club: http://beer.comeonmanpod.com Coaching: http://coaching.comeonmanpod.com FREE PDF with 20 Dating App Openers!

Maria Kang is a wife, mother, author, speaker, business owner, nonprofit founder, fitness philanthropist, and social entrepreneur. She is widely known as “Fit Mom” whose No Excuse campaign to get people active, has reached millions of people around the world. She presently lives in Sacramento, California, posting online for Extra Popular in 2005 and has had a blog since then. She had a campaign around 2013 that went viral which developed her nonprofit project, “No Excuse Mom”. It was originally called “Fitness Without Borders'' in 2007.

Learn More About: How Maria started the “No Excuse Mom” movement Tips to Moms on how to show up in their truest self How “No Excuse Mom” works “You have to stop defining what a good mom looks like, what a good mom does. I think that generally as humans, we just need to just try our very best because there's no instruction guide on what it means to live the best life or be the best mother.” - Maria Kang Connect with Maria: Instagram: @mariakangfitness Facebook: Maria Kang Website: http://www.mariakang.com/ Join Harmonious Hormones Program HERE: https://www.nazgrimley.com/harmonious-hormones Connect with me: Instagram: @nazgrimley Website: www.nazgrimley.com Linktree: linktr.ee/cincofn Book FREE date with Naz call here: https://calendly.com/fitwithnaz/self-love-date-with-naz Download your free Cycle Syncing Guide here: https://wondrous-hustler-7902.ck.page/cc547ed3e7
Whether you're done setting your goals or not for 2022, working on your mindset to actually get those goals done is the first thing you need to do. Here's something special for you—especially for moms who thought they no longer own their lives! Social media influencer, author, entrepreneur, and founder of No Excuse Mom community, Maria Kang, shares how she has been building a positive, go-getter, no-excuse attitude towards her goals and everything that life throws at her. Hope this one boosts you with some inspiration and motivations--setting you up to thrive and conquer your 2022 goals (and beyond)! Catch her in this episode of the Thrive State podcast and of course, on social media via @mariakangfitness and noexcusemom.com 5:44 Life is not against you. It's always teaching you something. I've learned so much and become so much stronger because of every single challenge I've had. 9:35 You can't control what anyone else does, but if you could be that light in that role model, they will naturally gravitate towards you or learn from you eventually in the future. The only thing you can control is what comes out of your brain and your mouth and your hands. It's all about the results that come out of you. DO YOU. 11:05 I believe strongly in the story that you're telling yourself. We wake up every day with a story in our head and we really need to address, are we the victim? Are we the victor? Are we the hero? If you keep believing in that excuse, that's going to keep you exactly where you are. Recognize and become aware of the story that you tell yourself. 12:54 Biologically, feelings of anxiety, stress, worry, or hate actually raise inflammation, lower your immunity, and put you prone to get chronic diseases. Changing your story can really change your health. 14:00 Influencer Burnout: You need to have a variety in your program. And you also need to figure out your why, which goes back to what's your excuse. I've had steady content because I really don't think about what other people want for me. I'm here not only because I want to serve you, but I want to serve myself too. 17:06 Advice for mothers (and not): You have to be very forgiving of yourself because you're not always going to feel good at the times when you're going to feel great. Take the breaks when you can. Have people around you that are going to motivate you. You are who you hang out with—No Excuse community. Continue striving, not just as a mother, but also in other areas. 19:26 Kickstarting the dreaming process: It always starts with a desire, with a thought, and realizing that I don't want to be here. You have to feel that discomfort in order to grow. Daydream and write it down. Write that first step to manifestation. 22:43 Maria's Best Medicine: Breathwork. Grounding myself and my spirit through my breath, work, and meditation.
