People pleasers tend to do anything possible to avoid conflict, even if it means turning into an entirely different person. Your worth depends on how others see you. People pleasers need validation from others to feel good about themselves. They can go to extremes to earn words of praise from others. The thing is, people-pleasing holds us back. We can stay trapped in a job that doesn't suit us, also, as we work to stick with what others (and society) think is best but, have you ever felt there was something more for yourself? Molly Asplin did. After 7 years of working in corporate finance with a background in Accounting, Molly found herself waking up every morning thinking “there has to be something more”. While she appreciated her coworkers and her company, she wanted to directly impact the lives of others. She felt complacent and surface-level happy, like life was on autopilot and she was going through the motions. She felt bored, yet overwhelmed, with busy days but mundane outcomes. Looking for a solution, she started working on herself — her nutrition, fitness, and daily personal development. She found that these daily habits created productivity, energy, and opened her eyes to a future career. She surrounded herself with others who were growing, and in doing so, she sensed a large need to mentor other over-achieving females who wanted the same things she did — to feel healthier, happier, and live life with more meaning and purpose. Today she leads a team of over 1,200 coaches, helping other women find more fulfillment in life. She is a firm believer in helping women create options for their families - financial flexibility, location flexibility, and time flexibility - so that they wake up every morning feeling peace, excitement, and purpose. Molly shows us there IS MORE - now you just have to get after it.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), stress has been classified as the health epidemic of the 21st century. What does this mean for Americans? The general level of worry and unhappiness in the modern world is creating a national epidemic of stress. I've seen the impact of chronic stress, firsthand, and so have many of you. But then there is today's guest, Natalie Newhart, a woman looking to be her best in all that she does - who saw the dark side that stress can bring. For Natalie, stress caused her to balloon and gain an unhealthy amount of weight, no matter how much she exercised, wreaked havoc on her body, and deteriorated her mental and emotional health. If you're an overachiever, you're going to want to tune into this one. ABOUT NATALIE NEWHART Natalie is a Self-Mastery Coach who uses a unique blend of science & psychology to teach women how to train, align and rewire their thought and emotional patterns that are driving the actions and behaviors preventing them from their body goals. When women are aware of the hidden forces that are driving them to eat the food, skip workouts, over-push themselves, or be stressed out AND we have a strategy to eliminate those forces,  then the body and life they want not only becomes possible- it becomes effortless. Her methods use a combination of exercise science, psychology, and neurology. When working one-on-one with me, I tailor your diet and exercise to your age, hormones, and menstrual cycle (if present). She addresses the ROOT problems that keep women from being lean as they age. And I teach women how to rewire their thoughts and emotional patterns around food, exercise, and rest so that it’s not a coincidence that they have self-control with food, a love for exercise, and a vibrant body.  Connect on her website: https://natalienewhart.health/ Connect via IG: https://www.instagram.com/natalie.newhart/ CONNECT WITH ME IG: @projectamy or @lifeonmyterms_podcast Email: [email protected]

If you have entered into your 40s you may feel a little different. I know I have. I am constantly feeling like my body is falling apart - that I am not myself. That was how the founder of Joi Women's Wellness, Katy Whalen felt. Her long journey through infertility, miscarriages, IVF, and finally giving birth to her little boy left her feeling fatigued, hormonal, overweight, and struggling with brain fog. She searched for a holistic solution that would help her to feel like “herself” again, and that’s when she learned about hormone optimization and peptide therapies. The only problem? They were so hard to come by! After both she and her husband began to experience amazing results with both peptides and hormones, she knew they had to share them with women everywhere. Joi is a place where women can find answers, manage their health holistically, and truly start to feel like themselves again (looking better too is just an added bonus!). Because you know what? Women deserve to feel their best from the inside out. In this episode, learn how to take control of your health - and be an advocate for yourself.

I don't know about you but I've been stuck in the comparison trap lately. In the spirit of working through tactics to avoid it, I thought I'd share them with all of you. Comparison wastes a lot of our precious time and energy. Comparison can make us bitter and jealous, ultimately damaging great relationships and halting our progress. It's important for all of us to admit that, because we are human, we will often fall into the trap of comparison. Learning to tame the comparison tendency is crucial for long-term success and happiness. In this episode, I bring to life what the comparison trap is, how we can end up in it, and how to avoid it.

Did you know: 9.8 million working mothers in the U.S. are suffering from burnout? Just by being a working mother, women are 28% more likely to experience burnout than fathers, according to the analysis. That means in the U.S., there are 2.35 million additional cases of burnout due to the unequal demands of home and work that are placed on working mothers. And cases of burnout are higher among Black, Asian, and Latino mothers compared to their White counterparts.  This episode is dedicated to working moms, helping to provide some tips and resources so that you can break free and come up for air. ABOUT ALEX STARK My name is Alex.  I am a coach and a mom. I’m also a real person.  I like wine, vacations, and spending time with my family.  I once lived on a ship for a year in Panama (the country), while managing a remote, high-end marlin fishing lodge in the Pacific Ocean. My practice is dedicated to helping high-achieving women, especially Moms in Executive Leadership & business owners succeed at work while staying present, being connected at home, and leading fulfilled, balanced lives.  I understand how the path to a successful career can make it seem impossible to lead a balanced life. After all, the world will not only ask more of you than you can possibly give but demand that you never stop giving of yourself. But let me tell you a secret-- Not only is balance possible, but it’s quite a bit of fun. What’s more, by finding balance and satisfaction in your personal life, you can perform better in your career. Oh, by the way - I am also a licensed mental health psychotherapist with a practice active in 3 states.  Before going into business for myself, I had over 10 years of experience in executive-level Leadership in a large nonprofit focused on education and mental health.  I am a mom to two young daughters and am all too familiar with the fact that if left unchecked, career pressure and burnout can take over your life.  In fact, that’s how this Executive Burnout Coaching program came to be.

I thought that by now, in 2023, we wouldn't see so many diets. Seriously. Now there are lifestyle diets to consider as well as diets to lose weight and get to that "ideal" body image you're after. THE THING IS: While it is important to maintain healthy eating behaviors, dieting isn't the best way to achieve them. Dieting typically leads to disappointment because they can't work long-term. You are left wondering "what's next" and likely lose the progress you've made. And then you repeat the cycle again and again. But what if you could break free from the diet mentality? What if showing up for yourself meant NOT being on a diet? Good news - Toni Marinucci, the owner of Diet Tips with Toni, is here to challenge our perspectives and encourage a much healthier relationship with our food. ABOUT TONI Toni Marinucci, MS, RD, is a Registered Dietitian and business owner of Diet Tips With Toni who ironically teaches people now NOT to diet. She is also a Podcast Host, social media influencer, TEDx speaker , and #1bestselling author of the book, Once Upon a Diet where she discusses the parallels between dieting, dating, and romantic relationships, and how we treat them the same. Her team of RD’s provides online nutrition coaching to help women break free from the all-or-nothing mindset and encourage them to embrace balance instead. Her mission is to end restrictive diet culture by providing simple tips to healthy living while incorporating foods you love!  CONNECT WITH ME IG @lifeonmyterms_podcast or @projectamy Email [email protected] PS: Jump on the website NOW and take the quiz: What Disney Princess Do I Eat Like (Apparently, I eat like Snow White).

Life can be hard. I know. In every, single day, there will be both junk and joy. And sometimes, there are going to be TOUGH challenges and struggles. But what if we were in control of the meaning of our lives? What if we had the power to choose whether something is good or bad? Spoiler alert: we DO have that power. In this episode, I am going to chat about what reframing is, what it looks like in practice, and how much power we truly have to choose negativity or joy. After listening, you're going to learn how to turn adversity into opportunity, weakness into strength, and failure into success. FROM THE EPISODE: Reframing Questions: What’s the positive here? How can I benefit from this? What can I learn? How will this make me a better person? Looking back at this situation 20 years from now, does it matter at all? What can I take away from it? Powerful quote from Viktor Frankl: “The one thing you can’t take away from me is the way I choose to respond to what you do to me. The last of one’s freedoms is to choose one’s attitude in any given circumstance.” INTERESTED IN 1:1 OR GROUP COACHING? You can access all the details on my website here.
