"It's not a fucking diet!" Sorry about using the "D" word so boldly. I know that word carries a lot of power and creates negative feelings for most of you. And rightly so! If you're anything like me and 100% of my clients, you've tried a diet or diets and FAILED every single time. Why, because that's precisely what diets are set-up for you to do, FAIL. The concept of the "diet" is flawed from the get-go. Here are the stages of the diet: *Bold declaration of new eating pattern with a set start and end date, inset Keto, Paleo, Low-Carb, No-Carb, Dr. ________, Book I read, Internet guy/gal I follow that is super fit, etc... *Clean out fridge and pantry of all the junk. *Go to store spend a boatload of money on a bunch of green stuff you'll never eat. *I Forget, elaborate Facebook/IG post about your new diet that is going to be the one that changes it all for you. Insert #thisismyyear *10 days later, the green stuff is gross and starting to smell up the fridge, so you throw it away and go to the store to repurcha

You Didn’t Come This Far Only To Come This Far!  I know this is super cliche, but I also know far too many of us are stopping at the first sign of struggle.  Pausing, assessing, adjusting is perfectly fine and even necessary from time to time.  It’s time to get off the ‘Mary Go Round of Regret.’ Get a coach, mentor, or Circle of Success that motivates you to keep moving forward even in the face of adversity.  You deserve your dreams, but you’re going have to work for them!

The Cost of Broken Promises   The cost of breaking promises to ourselves is unquantifiable.  You eventually get to a place where you no longer believe the words that come out of your mouth.  You eventually get to a place where you don't even trust yourself anymore.  And that is a dangerous place to be in life.  Broken promises lead to:  *Lack of self-worth *No self-belief *Low or non-existent self-esteem  *Zero trust in yourself  If you're in this place, it's not too late to make a shift.  It's not too late to rebuild your self-esteem.  All you have to do is follow the steps we chat about in this podcast episode.  Thanks for listening to the Thrive Forever Fit Show!

The EIGHT Person Cleanse  Removing these eight people from your life NOW is essential to your health and happiness.  **Disclaimer: this will include some of your family and friends - sorry**    8 People That Gotta Go: 1. Those who spread negativity. Here’s the bottom line and something I remind myself all the time. If someone is spreading negativity about others, eventually they will spread it about me. Negative people are only loyal to negativity. Eventually, you will find yourself in their crosshairs.  2. Those you criticize you. Get rid of these jokers immediately. Only surround yourself with people that support and lift you higher.   3. Those who waste your time. TIME is your most valuable resource, and the one thing you can make more of in your life. Time vampires must be let go NOW.  4. Those who are jealous. Jealously is a poison that will kill any relationship. The most dangerous person you can be around is someone that views your success as their failure. &nb

You Can Have Perfect Sight And No Vision - It Happened To Me Last week was challenging for me.  I've been seeking clarity on a couple of projects and business ideas, with little luck.  So like clockwork, the Universe stepped in and began to try to show me the way. I only say "try" because I can be a little, and sometimes she has to work overtime to get her message through my thick skull.  Her first three attempts were subtle and clear, but as I mentioned above, my thick skull sometimes prevents the delivery.  And because she knows I'm a visual learner, she did what only the Universe can do. She planted the message right in front of my face.  As you listen to the podcast, you hear about the following:  1. "Comparison Is the Thief of Joy" ~ Theodore Roosevelt 2. "Unhappiness Is Always Accompanied by Comparison." ~ Ed Mylett 3. How a young man with no sight gave me clarity on my vision - Thanks Jake @jakeolson61 I hope you gave some clarity and vision for yourself after liste

"Girl Eat A Cheeseburger"  In this episode, we talk about:  1. Passive Aggressive Compliments 2. Why People Get Uncomfortable When You Change 3. How to Handle Negative Comments 4. And More... I opted for the title of "Girl Eat A Cheeseburger" because it's an actual statement that was made to one of my clients who is on her weight loss journey.  And it happens all the time.  This topic - Passive Aggressive Compliments - from family, friends, and co-workers gets brought up by 75% of my clientele.  And TRUTH be told it actually has nothing to do with my client and everything to do with the insecurity of the person say it.  I HOPE you're not one of these people, but if you are, this is your opportunity to change.  This is your opportunity to understand how what you're doing is hurtful and detrimental to your relationship.  Let me know what you think.  Thanks for listening to the Thrive Forever Fit Show!

You've Been Lied To Again! Whoever said showing up is half the battle is full of shit.  The team that shows up but doesn’t perform still gets beat.  If you truly deserve all the things you’re daydreaming about you better stop wandering through life haphazardly.  You better get serious about your success and your efforts.  "You Can't Expect Extraordinary Results From Average Effort" Start living passionately and purposefully.  You deserve the best, but you’re gonna have to give your best to get it.  This will all lead me to discuss STANDARDS and how they dictate your success in life.  Your standards are your benchmarks for performance in all areas of your life. High standards equal high rates of return. Low standards equal a minimal existence and the acceptance of the average.  Today we will discuss and by discuss I mean I'm going to rant about WHY you should never lower your standards if you seak an amazing life.  Truth: Most people lower their standards
