Happy New Year!
Now what kind of health coach would I be if I didn't have an episode on New Year resolutions? It is practically part of the Health Coaches Creed to address this topic each year.
My guest for this episode is Dr. Michelle May, the founder of Am I Hungry and author of “Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat.” (Shameless plus - Pro listeners will know that this is the curriculum that I use for my Happy Healthy You Mindful Eating group, which is starting a new class in January.)
In this episode, I ask Michelle about the revealing truth about the Biggest Loser - and you can read the research here: https://www.health.harvard.edu/diet-and-weight-loss/lessons-from-the-biggest-loser
In early January, Michelle is offering a complimentary 90-minute masterclass called The Anti-Resolution Plan: How to Eat with Ease. You’ll learn the 3 stages of transformation to break free from toxic diet culture so you can eat what you love without guilt.
Michelle is known for her been-there teaching style, so you don’t want to miss this event! It will be well worth your time!

In this episode, we’re talking about a mindful twist on new year resolutions, and some upcoming opportunities Dr. May has up her sleeve. Are you ready to solve everything? Let’s get into it!

This is a back-by-demand re-posted episode from last year - still great, just like Thanksgiving leftovers!
It’s Thanksgiving week! And that means we’re officially in a time of year that I like to call Eating Season.
And here at Heather Solves Everything, all of my coaching calls this week have been about intuitive eating, and how to get through the holidays without losing control around food.
So I decided to put together a special episode just about that, and to offer up five things to think about as you approach the Thanksgiving table.
The point of these five tips is to help you turn down the urgency and turn up the trust during the holidays. I want you to enjoy the scents and flavors of the season with your arms and hearts open wide, not feeling like you can only enjoy them within a controlled setting, or that there are some foods that you can’t have, or that you have to do some kind of penance for eating them. I hope that your Thanksgiving is full of blessings, including a feeling of partnership with yourself so you can relax, exhale, connect with your body, and make your first bite the best one.
Intuitive eating is something that takes some time to learn and master, so don’t expect yourself to flip a switch and undo a lifetime of learned food rituals and self talk. And, if you’d like to learn more about intuitive eating, I’ll be offering a class that begins in January. It’s called Am I Hungry, and all of the tips today came from the class. I’ll be sharing more information about it on my website, HeatherSolvesEverything.com.

In this episode, we’re solving the minefield that is talking to your kids about healthy eating, as well as modeling mindfulness in a weight-neutral environment focused on health, not body size.
My guest is Dr. Sheila Carroll, and we talk about the balancing act of encouraging healthy foods while not restricting others, fostering autonomy and confidence in our kids, and helping them stay out of diet culture. I hope you love it!

Hey, it’s Heather! My guest for this episode is Becca Ferguson, a Licensed Professional Counselor and also a really fun person to talk to. We get into the topic of mindful eating with an eating disorder in this episode. If you’ve been in those shoes, you know how it is to realize that eating food is a simple process, but still be trapped in thoughts and fears that prevent you from doing it. Why can’t we just “get over” our eating disorder and eat like a normal person? What even IS normal? Answers to that and more are coming up.

Every week I introduce you to smart people with good ideas who can help you solve the everyday problems of life. This week that smart person is Candy Motzek. Candy is a corporate ladder survivor, marking herself safe from a career in engineering where she was really smart and successful, but not fulfilled. So she changed it. She’s now an ICF-certified Professional Coach and her specialty is helping us to gain confidence, get unstuck and out of our own way, and enjoy more meaningful work and lives.
In this episode we’re going to talk about how we can learn from ourselves, cultivate greater confidence to do the big bold things, and quiet that voice of self doubt.

Glen Alex is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the Author of Living In Total Health, which won the Indie Book Award in 2021. She has a mission to help people be more joyful, connected, confident and complete. She is also the guiding spirit behind The Glen Alex Show, GlenAlex.com, Healthy Boundaries for Overwhelmed Women online course, and other services in fulfillment of her transformative mission.
Glen’s health journey began with boundaries. As a child, she was so engaged by the nuance of interaction—when people smiled, cringed, and when pain crossed their faces. She remembers vowing to not be the one to cause another person pain, unnecessarily. She saw boundaries respected and boundaries violated, and it stuck. From that, Glen developed a unique and no nonsense perspective to help others lead their healthiest and most joyful life.
In this episode, we discuss the four types of boundaries, five truths of boundaries, and how you can enjoy the holidays with just the right amount of whelm.

Do you ever feel like you are surrounded by clutter? Do you feel like you can’t get started on a project until your work space is “perfect”? Or are you like me, using decluttering and tidying up as a way to procrastinate?
My guest this week is speaking to you.
Author Connie Ellefson is an engineer and professional organizer working in the Denver metro area. Since 2008, she has helped others discover greater creativity and increase energy that was tied up in unnecessary clutter. Whether physical, emotional, or possessional, clutter takes up space in our psyches and calendars that could be put to much more productive, creative, and fun use.
In this episode she shows how decluttering can be accomplished not only physically, but spiritually and mentally. She’s pulling advice directly from her book, Clear the Space and Feel the Rush, available on Amazon.

Each week I try to bring you a show that sheds light on some of the universal issues that many of us overachievers face in life. Things like maximizing our potential, challenging our own status quo, figuring out how to balance work, life, and play. I believe that you are the expert on yourself, but we are always in a place of learning from each other.
With that in mind, I have invited Kevin Kepple to the show today. He’s a Gallup-certified strengths coach, and I have questions about that. Kevin works with leaders, teaching them how to unlock their leadership code by leveraging their unique genius. Wouldn’t that be nice? Guess what, it's in there waiting for you.
I’m also excited because Kevin and I share some common hobbies, including hiking, endurance sports, and being one of those super motivated and positive people in the world who want to help others feel alive and happy.

The fifth habit of Stephen Covey's “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”, is to seek first to understand, then to be understood. It’s a great reminder for interacting with others, but do you listen to understand yourself? In this week’s episode, Alix is sharing how seeking to understand her self-talk and thoughts before responding to them led her to take a different, unexpected course in her journey to greater life balance. Can you relate?

I’m sure you’ve heard before, real change begins on the inside, and when it comes to transforming your entire life, it’s those internal shifts in perspective that can make space for a new way of living, thinking, and being.
My guest today has become an expert in doing just that. Ann Hince has developed the ability to sense inside her body in ways that help her transform both her emotional and physical self. And when I first heard that, I was thinking the same thing you might be now. How can the way you perceive yourself change your physical self?
She’s learned how to release physical tension stored in her connective tissue, using solely the focus of her mind, and she has x-rays to show the physical changes resulting from this inner work - including changing the alignment of her eye sockets, the straightening of her neck, the centering of her lower jaw, and the growth of her tooth roots. She has also grown 3/4 an inch at the age of 55.
Ann wants us all to know that we have this incredible power within us, it just takes going further with practices that you may already be doing.

My guest today is Leslie Davis, and if you’re a go-getting over-achieving accomplishment junkie like me, you’re going to LOVE HER. She told me that about 20 years ago I came up with a mantra that I did not want to be 80 years old, sitting on my front porch saying, “I wish I would have.”
Since turning 50, she has taken up scuba diving, gone riding in a hot air balloon, traveled to Zimbabwe multiple times by herself, gone on about 10 mission trips, lost almost 100 lbs, taken up weight lifting, written 8 books, quit a job that was killing her and learned more about life than she did in college. She just turned 65 and she ain’t slowing down yet.
Today we’re going to talk about how she discovered how to change her mindset, take real control of her life and release the things and people she did not have control of.
And, I have three takeaways from her parenting advice that we can use on ourselves!

This week is a bit of a how it started/how it’s going episode with our friend Alix. If you don’t know, Alix is spending 2022 working on better balance in her life, and sharing her experience on the podcast so we can all learn and grow in our own lives.
In our last conversation, Alix was focused on prioritizing self care during the wild west days of summer as a mom of young kids, when every week is different and life can feel like more of a roller coaster than usual.
Today, we will check in to find out how it’s going, what she learned, and how she is shifting gears for fall. Can you relate?

We all have things that we dwell on, cringing to ourselves when we think back to stupid, embarassing, or regretful choices we’ve made. In fact, the feeling of regret has been identified as an emotion we feel as early as the age of two year old.
Especially for those of us who identify as perfectionists, we can really beat ourselves up for not choosing what we realize later would have been a wiser option. I probably should have majored in something different, should have gone to law school, should have started contributing to my retirement a lot earlier. We all have those woulda coulda shoulda moments.
In this episode, I am exploring how thanking ourselves for the dumb things we’ve done can be part of our path out of regret and into new energy.
Oh, and I mention a guided meditation that was a game changer for me. Here it is!
