In this week's special episode, Jennifer and I dive deep into our soon-to-be launched "Solutionary Vegan LEVEL-UP podcast." Here we explore the inspiring range of strategies used by animal protectors, environmental activists, and social justice warriors to LEVEL-UP the playing field for all Earth's inhabitants. ⁣⁣

To be truly solutionary, a solution must significantly and strategically address the underlying causes of the problem. It must do so without causing harm to people, animals, or the environment.

Solutionary vegans level up by:

↗️ questioning the "true price" of their actions by asking, "what are the impacts of my everyday choices on other humans, non-human animals, and the planet?"

↗️ diving deep for accurate information (truth)

↗️ (inclusive) building coalitions by supporting and amplifying the many important, beautiful, diverse voices for change.

↗️ Prioritizing high-impact strategies that revolutionize systems

...so that we can effectively advocate for ALL beings.

Listen, learn, and enjoy!

EP 98: The Art and Science of Journaling

Tue, 22 Feb 2022 04:00:00 -0500

They all benefited from a daily journaling practice. The truth is, Stephanie and I could fill this episode with a long list of recognizable people who have lived across centuries. These people have implemented journaling into their daily routines.

We often recommend this powerful tool to our clients. The scientific research to support journaling is extensive and compelling. It is a key strategy for personal development for a variety of reasons.

However, we hear from our clients that journaling is intimidating to them. They don't know where to begin, and staring at a blank page is so uncomfortable. Occasionally, we find that clients have let their journaling habit become stale.

In this special episode, Stephanie explores the art and science of journaling and shares tips and strategies to help you get started and keep on writing.

"Mom, it's just too big for one person. How can anyone make any changes that matter? Why try to persuade anyone to do anything when it just won't matter?"

-Eva, 11, after writing her essay on climate change

Stephanie couldn't have been prouder of her little girl when she said this!

And you know what? Stephanie and I could relate.

Having spoken with our clients and others in the vegan community, we have seen how heavy the world can be at times.

But we also know that we are much more able to make a difference than we think we do. Small, consistent steps have a lasting impact, even if we don't realize it at the time.

We often overlook our actions as not enough to make a difference. We often fall into a destructive pattern of all-or-nothing thinking that paralyzes us from further action by discounting our efforts.

Does that sound familiar?

In this special episode, Stephanie digs deep into why you should own your impact, as well as practical tips on how to do it.

Listen, take notes, and enjoy!

EP 95: Getting Off the Train to Nowhere: Dealing Effectively with Anxiety

Tue, 01 Feb 2022 04:00:00 -0500

Anxiety has been a relatively constant destination for much of Stephanie's life.

That fact is that as uncomfortable as excessive worry is, there have been periods in her life when it was actually more comfortable to be in an anxiety loop than to be out of one.

And if she were out of one, she would be worried about not being in one because that would somehow mean that she had missed something… She was late to the worry party… She was forgetting a key thing to worry about…She had missed the anxiety train.

Can you relate? Perhaps this shoe fits you, too…

In this special episode, after an update on Ella's exploration of cold exposure and the vegan dating scene, you'll discover powerful strategies to help you engage with the root cause of anxiety.

You'll be surprised how easy and practical these strategies are to implement!

EP 94: Intentional Joy

Tue, 25 Jan 2022 04:00:00 -0500

Following talk about my (Ella's) recent experience (intense!) surviving an ice bath, Stephanie dives into spectacular training on cultivating intentional joy...

We often look at ways to make our days happier by simply inverting what makes us unhappy. We spend time trying to minimize the impact of unhappiness.

Essentially, we ask ourselves, how can I prevent myself from becoming unhappy? That seems a little shortsighted when you consider how that negatively impacts us daily.

Yes, we can build resilience and coping mechanisms to deal with that impact, but that's not quite the same as being intentional about cultivating moments of joy, is it?

In this episode of The Vegan Life Coach Podcast, Stephanie and I posed powerful prompt questions to inspire you to cultivate intentional moments of joy in your life.

EP 81: VeganProteins Founders Dani Taylor and Giacomo Marchese

Tue, 26 Oct 2021 04:00:00 -0400

Besides being all-around badasses, my friends Dani Taylor and Giacomo Marchese are co-founders of VeganProteins.com, as well as PlantBuilt.com, a nonprofit organization of strength-based vegan athletes who compete together to raise awareness for veganism and money for rescued animals at farm sanctuaries.

Dani Taylor is a natural bodybuilding figure champion who grew up in a very unhealthy household and reached 210 pounds by high school. After going vegan for ethical reasons, she began to lose weight and soon found a love of weight-lifting. The combination of a plant-based diet and lifting caused her to lose 90 pounds and turn her health around, eventually going on to win multiple figure competitions. Since then she has become a certified strength and conditioning coach and has coached over a thousand other vegans on their own bodybuilding journeys.

Giacomo has been vegan for over 10 years and involved with fitness for over 20 years. He actively competes in bodybuilding and powerlifting, is a master coach and trainer, and holds a certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition from Cornell University

Together they are a powerhouse couple making waves in the vegan fitness world, all while spending time and energy raising awareness and supporting other animal rescue organizations.

You're in for a treat and will undoubtedly take away actionable steps you can take to become a healthier, stronger version of yourself on every level!

I was thrilled to sit down with my dear friend and masterful vegan chef, holistic wellness instructor, and entrepreneur Mahala Nirvano.

Mahala (formerly Sheryn) has been ethically vegan for 35 years (since she was 13 years old) after making the connection that the chicken on her plate was actually a bird. She couldn’t understand why a dead bird was called dinner.

In this magical episode, we discuss not only Mahala’s fascinating story, but also a vast array of topics related to plant-based nutrition, vegan ethics, entrepreneurship, the future of food, tantra teachings, and so much more.

We also learn about the new, vegan keto line of products (with a secret, unique ingredient) she is coming out with this fall!

When it comes to getting results (whether the goal is weight loss, getting off statins, or simply loving the person you see in the mirror), accountability can help you start eating a whole food plant-based diet, exercising consistently, meditating, and implementing other forms of self-care.

But how do you stay motivated long after your willpower runs out?

How do you break the old, unhealthy patterns you’ve been trying to replace for years?

How do you adopt a new way of life when the old way is so ingrained?

In this actionable episode, we dive into the topic of accountability and give you simple yet powerful strategies you can apply to your life starting today!

EP 71: Love, Fear, and the Power of Meditation with Monk Coleman

Tue, 17 Aug 2021 04:00:00 -0400

I had the fortune of speaking with Monk Coleman, who is an author, transformational coach, public speaker, personal trainer, and 3X Pro Natural Physique Bodybuilder.

Monk grew up fatherless and had a very poor upbringing, eventually falling into a life of substance abuse and crime.

After hitting rock bottom he turned to meditation and transformed his entire life to that of service.

Now 13 years sober and living a completely different life, he works with others to help facilitate their healing through his coaching.

His new, powerful book is Love Over Fear: A Guide to Peace and Purpose. He is working to get it into health and wellness centers, schools, halfway houses, and correctional facilities where it can make a massive impact.

In addition to discussing his new book (which is making WAVES!), we cover a lot of ground in this episode… From Matt’s journey into veganism, to life after 40, to willpower, supplements, and the future of the plant-based and vegan movements.

You’re in for a treat. Enjoy!!

Tue, 03 Aug 2021 04:00:00 -0400

If you’re frustrated from “falling off the wagon,” time after time, this episode is for you.

Whether you’ve had the goal of...

adopting a whole foods plant-based diet and/or healthy vegan lifestyle for the purpose of weight loss, long-term health, doing your part to save animals, and/or reducing your carbon footprint in this scary time of climate crisis…
Starting your own business, or finding a job that sparks joy…
Adopting a “Miracle Morning” (Hal Elrod’s phrase) that sets you up for a powerful day through practices like meditation…
Really any goal that you’ve “failed” trying to achieve...

We’ve got your back!

It’s time to see those “failures” through a new lens… A lens that EMPOWERS you instead of leaves you feeling hopeless.

In Episode 69 of The Vegan Life Coach Podcast Stephanie and I take you through the mindset shifts you can make, and strategies you can implement, starting today, to set you up for a lifetime of success, freedom, and abundance.

Remember… We must heal ourselves in order to best heal the world.

EP 68: Clean Your Plate

Tue, 27 Jul 2021 04:00:00 -0400

You’re not alone! Many of us grew up being told that we had to clean our plate, in one way or another.

>> Which one resonates with you? <<

The Guilt Trip: “Don’t waste food… Think about all the starving kids out there!”

The Bribe: “You can have dessert, but only if you clean your plate first!”

The Ultimatum: “You can’t get up from the table until you’ve cleaned your plate.”

>> If you have one we missed, share in the chat below! <<

On Episode 67 of The Vegan Life Coach Podcast, we explore the psychology behind your urge to clean your plate, and strategies to stop eating when you’re full instead of when your plate is clean!

The side effect? Eating less without feeling hungry or deprived! Side effects = losing excess body fat, increasing your energy, ENJOYING your food (instead of stressing about it), and feeling happy, confident, and free!

“I’m so frustrated! I’ve been dieting most of my life and always gain the weight back. I’m scared to try another program and risk failing YET AGAIN (and wasting even more money than I have already).”

If you’ve ever said something like this to yourself, you’re far from alone. In fact, almost every client we have ever worked with has this fear. 80% of people who diet gain all the weight back, so it’s a legitimate fear!

In Episode 66 of The Vegan Life Coach Podcast, we dive deep into the reasons why dieting sabotages your weight loss efforts, what the alternatives are, and how to prevent frustration and fear from making you give up.

You want LONG-TERM results? We’ve got answers!

With over 377,000 YouTube subscribers, Mic the Vegan is known for debunking the myths that perpetuate harmful dietary and lifestyle behaviors - all with a drop of humor that only he thinks is funny.

In case you’re curious… Mic is short for microphone and Mike/Michael, not Mick! And it’s true that his beard doesn't match his hair naturally (he asks you to please not hate).

Mic the Vegan is not a doctor, but he is currently studying Public Health at the Master's level and is a pro at digging into the most unbiased research on plant-based nutrition and feeding it to us in bite-size chunks.

We had a blast chatting about everything from his most controversial videos, to how to discern which research to trust, to building tiny homes… With a lot of laughs along the way!

EP 59: Way Beyond Weight Loss

Tue, 25 May 2021 04:00:00 -0400

You often hear us talking on the show about what an inspiration our clients are. In this episode, you get to hear it from our clients themselves!

Sure, you’ll discover how our clients lose weight (and keep it off) without even trying, but you’ll find out how our 6-Week Intuitive Food & Fitness Coaching Program goes WAY beyond weight loss.

We talk about how Jennifer, Wendy, and Susanne found a sense of FREEDOM they never dreamed possible… Freedom that has put them on the path to an extraordinary life filled with unlimited opportunities… A life filled with passion and purpose.

For Susanne, it all started with her decision to attend my masterclass. And guess what… I have put together a BRAND NEW Master Class that I’m offering for FREE to you for a short time in advance of the next launch of our Coaching Program on June 19th.

If what you discover on this free training resonates with you, like it did Susanne, you’ll have the opportunity to speak with me personally about the possibility of enrolling in the Program. We cap the number of clients we work with at only 12, and spots are filling up quickly, so don’t procrastinate. NOW is the time to check out the VEGAN MADE EASY: The 5-Step Master Plan for Losing Weight with a Plant-Based “Live-et” training HERE.

The last day to enroll in the Program is June 15th IF we still have a spot open at that point, so don’t wait. Check out this episode, and the free Master Class now… This may be the single most important opportunity you’ve EVER taken advantage of, and you will be ever grateful to yourself for taking action.

A special thank you to @Jennifer... @wendy... and @Susanne… for being courageous enough to share their stories with you all!!

The phrase, “finding your purpose” makes it sound like a treasure hunt… If you just look hard and long enough, you’ll be rewarded with the purpose (the treasure). That’s simply not how it works!

Once our 6-Week Intuitive Food & Fitness clients begin mastering the Self-Empowerment Coaching System, and begin releasing the old programming that kept them playing small, they’re ready to push fears aside and create not only a happy life, but also a meaningful life.

In this important episode (58) of The Vegan Life Coach Podcast, we dive into the topic of “purpose,” and discuss important mindset shifts that you can make today, that will allow you to begin living with both passion and purpose.

If you are exhausted from wasting your energy in ways that are unfulfilling or realize you’re trying to “fill a void” with food (struggling with disordered eating), this episode will be a game-changer!

EP 57: Money Mindset

Tue, 11 May 2021 04:00:00 -0400

EP 56: Positive Thinking My A**

Tue, 04 May 2021 04:00:00 -0400

It was one of the toughest, most emotionally exhausting weeks of my life, and I wasn’t sure I had the energy to record… Until the title, “Positive Thinking My A**” popped into my brain. And I knew Stephanie would have plenty of powerful insights on the topic of positive thinking culture she’d love to share.

We dive deep into the complexity of the term, “positive thinking,” and give strategies for not only making your own life-altering mindset shifts but also the best ways to help people you care about deal with sadness and grief.

Buckle up for this empowering episode of The Vegan Life Coach Podcast!

EP 55: Intuitive Eating Model

Tue, 27 Apr 2021 04:00:00 -0400

The “Intuitive Eating Model” has been a complete game-changer for our coaching clients. It allows you to feel confident about every food choice you make because you make those decisions CONSCIOUSLY (not based on your subconscious programming which runs on autopilot).

EP 54: Aging and Veganism

Tue, 20 Apr 2021 04:00:00 -0400

We break it down into two categories… Physical and Emotional.

We first talk about the physical effects of aging, and how you can use a healthy vegan lifestyle to slow the aging process. We then dive into the complexities involved with the emotional effects of aging, society’s role, and the tools that help people foster unconditional self-love, step into their power, and reinvent themselves at any age!

EP 53: All or Nothing

Tue, 13 Apr 2021 04:00:00 -0400

Most of our coaching clients describe themselves as “all or nothing” people, which is often revealed when we discuss their diet. The “cycle of self-sabotage” as we call it, involves taking “clean eating” to an extreme, restricting calories or cutting carbohydrates to a degree that is unsustainable until your willpower runs out and you overindulge, which turns into guilt and shame, which motivates you to restrict, and the cycle continues.

No more! We are helping you get a grip and discover how to create a way of eating and living that is SUSTAINABLE and gets you LONG-TERM results… We’re talking about a healthy and empowered vegan LIFESTYLE here!

Don’t get us wrong… going “all in” on being vegan is something different all together. Being vegan is about living in a way that does not support the suffering, death, and exploitation of any and all living beings.

Being vegan is about doing our part to make a positive impact on the world and protect our precious Planet. Being vegan is not about restricting food choices… It’s about celebrating the countless plant options, and making conscious and mindful CHOICES that serve us and other people and animals best!

We discuss it all, and offer actionable strategies to help you take your power back in this fun and informative episode.

How would you like to build a relationship with food you never need to cheat on?!

The idea of “cheat meals” and “cheat days” is one I became familiar with as a fitness professional and bodybuilding competitor. It’s a concept that goes hand-in-hand with diet culture.

Most of our clients and Vegan Life Coach Academy members come to us wanting to remove the stress around food. They want to be free from obsessive thoughts about food and their bodies. They long for eating to simply be an enjoyable and easy part of life… A way to fuel and nourish their bodies without spending tons of time and energy thinking about what, when, where, or how much they need to eat every day to achieve the results they desire.

In this episode we explore how using “cheating” as related to diet promotes disordered eating and self-sabotage. We share how our clients have been able to eliminate refined sugar from their diets permanently without feeling deprived.

We discuss how to make the powerful mindset shifts necessary to create a balanced LIFESTYLE where there are no more wagons to get on or fall off… How refreshing is that?!

(All with the SIDE EFFECT of losing excess body fat FOR GOOD.)

Since you’re listening to The Vegan Life Coach Podcast, it’s more than likely you’re actively seeking the tools you need to adopt, or at least move in the direction of a healthy vegan lifestyle. You’re probably invested in exploring the best ways to become empowered, tackle the limiting beliefs and obstacles standing in the way of becoming the best version of yourself.

In this important episode, Stephanie & I discuss the differences between coaching, therapy, and counseling. With a better understanding, you can get clarity about the direction you may want to go when seeking professional guidance.

At the Vegan Life Coach Academy, we come from the perspective that, while it may be helpful to acknowledge your past, it is not helpful to focus on it. Understanding your core beliefs about who you are, what you are capable of can help you understand dysfunctional behavior, and from there, begin the “reprogramming” process.

The holiday can be a source of joy or a source of stress and grief for different people at different points in their lives. If you’re single and don’t want to be, or you’ve recently had a tough break-up for example.

The holiday can also cause strife between partners when they have different expectations for each other in terms of how it should be celebrated.

In this special episode, guest co-host Anne Molina (founder of Hogs & Kisses Farm Sanctuary) and I discuss our mission to create healthy conversation around controversial vegan-related topics.

As Anne was doing research and networking with other animal-lovers in Facebook groups, she witnessed turmoil within many of these communities. The discussions all too often seemed to end up as unproductive arguments driven by ridicule and harsh judgment.

Anne and I decided to produce a series of roundtable discussions to address tough topics in productive ways. We’re calling it, “Beet Around the Barn,” and the first episode will be coming out on our Hogs & Kisses YouTube Channel within the next month. We’ll be covering subjects like, “What exactly is a vegan?” “Should vegans adopt cats?” “What about dating as a vegan?” and so much more.

One of the most common challenges we tackle at Vegan Life Coach Academy is how to handle the people in your life who don’t “get it” when it comes to your decision to go/be vegan.

Vegan newbies are particularly vulnerable to being criticized and made fun of by the people in their lives who may feel threatened by the person’s lifestyle changes.

In this important episode, after having some fun with our “Lovin’ on the Haters” segment, we dive deep into the tools you need to navigate the critics powerfully and with grace.

After all, the best way to be an effective influencer is to inspire. And the more you can focus on your own growth, the sooner you can inspire other people as you radiate the love, strength, compassion, and confidence everyone strives for!

EP 35: Holiday Special

Tue, 08 Dec 2020 04:00:00 -0500

In this episode we give you some valuable tips, tools, and strategies that will help you to not just survive, but truly thrive this holiday season.

I talk about how fortunate I am that most of the people I spend my holidays with are vegan at this point, especially since I will be spending the time with my immediate family and closest friends this year.

Stephanie however, has a more “blended” family, which we know is the situation most of our listeners are in.

Add on top of the stress often brought on by navigating the holidays with non-vegans, this year we are adding a pandemic to the mix… Oh boy!

Having the holiday season amist Covid19 means that many of the traditions we follow year after year won’t be feasible (at least not safely).

Stephanie and I talk about the opportunity we have this year thanks to the pandemic. We see it as a “forced pause,” giving us the space to step back and take inventory.

We give our listeners some solid strategies for taking full advantage of that opportunity, including determining what traditions you actually enjoy. This is a great year to let go of the ones that don’t serve you or your family.

I love what Stephanie says about releasing old traditions and trying something new… “Design this holiday season just like you’re designing the rest of your life!”

Listen or watch the full episode for lots of laughs in addition to the valuable discussion we have to help you reduce your stress and make this holiday season one to remember (in the best ways possible)!

Can you guess the response from Stephanie and me?

“There are no sticky topics we don’t tackle!”

If you’re a regular listener of our podcast you know that we are far from afraid to talk about taboo topics, from sex to poop and everything in between.😆

In this episode we touch on many questions people have about alcohol like…

How do I stop myself from over-drinking?
Is red wine really healthy?
Can I be healthy and still enjoy alcohol in moderation?
What are some tips to reduce weight gain if you don’t want to give up drinking all together?

We have fun with the topic, as well as weighing in on the serious side of alcohol. In fact, Stephanie’s field of expertise is addiction counseling, so she is able to weigh in professionally on the topic of addiction.

In this episode we also announce the launch of our new, 6-Week Sexy Fit Vegan Bootcamp! You can take our new quiz HERE and learn if the upcoming Bootcamp may help you get the results (short AND long-term) you’re looking for, whether that be weight loss, long-term health, feeling energized and vibrant, gaining self-confidence, or any of the other countless benefits of a Whole Foods Plant-Based Diet and active lifestyle.

EP 32: Letting Go to Grow

Tue, 17 Nov 2020 04:00:00 -0500

Stephanie wrote...

Today, take some time to think about what you have been carrying that has simply become too heavy. It is time to let go. Let go of expectations, self judgement, anxiety, and loneliness. It’s time to take a deep breath and enter into this week with the intention of letting go so that there is room for your growth and the new that your efforts and the universe are bringing to you!

There are so many different areas of our lives where there is cause to let go, so we’re breaking the subject down.

On today’s episode we focus on relationships.

Check out the thread that occurred in the comments of our VLCA #MantraMonday post (we’ve changed the names to protect our members’ privacy…

Maria: Thank you, I’m letting go of friendships that don’t serve my best self

Lilly: Ohhhh, I’ve been here. I’ve found this to be so hard when going through it and utterly liberating afterwards! Sending you strength!

Vickie: I've been there too, it's such a painful place to be and it has taken me a very long time, especially to accept how such a deep affection could be transformed into something else, comprehension, jealousy and hatred at times. I am not sure I have reached a place of forgiveness yet, but at least I don't feel so sad anymore.

Stephanie and I dive deep into the complexities of letting go of the people in our lives who are not lifting us up.

EP 30: Overeating on a Plant-Based Diet

Tue, 03 Nov 2020 04:00:00 -0500

At Vegan Life Coach Academy, we have #ThirstyThursday Power Hour Q&A every week. Members grab their fresh juice, smoothie, or Clean Machine’s BCAAs (lemonade is my favorite), and join me for a Facebook Live event.

We have a blast sharing celebrations, playing plant food trivia, announce upcoming happenings, and I answer questions that members have submitted.

We recently had two questions come in about portion control and overeating… A common struggle for a ton of our podcast listeners as well, hence why we decided to also answer the questions on this episode!

Here they are:

Question #1: I really appreciate the mindfulness and intuitive eating. I think that’s how I was before becoming vegan and now I struggle with portions. Sometimes I’m hungry in 30 minutes and then I feel like I overeat too often. I feel uncomfortably stuffed. What’s going on?

Question #2: Why do you (referring to me, Ella) only eat half a can of chickpeas for a meal versus a whole can? Is it because half a can fills you up? How do we know we are not overeating?

Check out this week’s full episode to hear our answers!

-----------------------

In this episode, in addition to a ton of fun talking about random, vegan-related topics, we explore goal-setting and propose a mindset powerful mindset shift...

When people set a goal, the reason they set that goal is often because they are unhappy with where they currently are.

People often believe that happiness is on the other side of reaching certain goals. "Once I reach that goal of losing 20 pounds, then I'll be happy," or, "When I get that promotion, then I'll be happy."

Setting goals in the traditional way often comes from a place of scarcity and unfulfillment. In this episode we offer a different perspective on goals... The idea that goals are fantastic tools for progressing on our life's journey in a positive and powerful way, but only when they come from a place of abundance and acceptance.

On last week’s episode we discussed how happiness is not created in the past or found in the future. Happiness is within all of us right now. It's a matter of developing the tools that you need to unlock or unleash the joy that you're capable of in this very moment. And that's a powerful thing. So, what can goals set from a place of abundance do for us?

Goals set from a place of abundance can empower us, motivate us, and create self-confidence. They can help us align our actions with our values.

On the other hand, when we set goals from a place of scarcity, we may feel shameful, not good enough as we are right now.

Goals coming from a place of scarcity can cause us to compare ourselves to others, which can in turn, bring on anxiety. We can start judging ourselves and feel a sense of disappointment, thinking, “I'm not good enough,” and “What I have is not enough”.

No matter what, goal-setting brings up obstacles, fears, and limiting beliefs, right? We start to think about all the things that are standing in our wa

EP 28: The Search for Happiness

Tue, 20 Oct 2020 03:00:00 -0400

The truth of the matter is that that we have to be in charge of our own happiness. Happiness doesn't happen to us or for us. Happiness is not a future state. If we tie our happiness to a certain weight, to a way that we want to look, or the goals we wish to accomplish, we give away the inherent power we all have to CHOOSE happiness NOW.

In this episode we discuss how!

Based on a recent survey we did with our listeners, going vegan without the support of your family or friends is a struggle that a lot of people share.

My story is exceptional in that I knew when I was just 7 years old that eating animals was a hard “No.” It didn’t matter to me one bit that nobody I knew was vegetarian. At 15 I fully understood the suffering of all farm animals and went fully vegan and knew my purpose in life was to save animals. My compassion for animals ran so deep that ridicule was not a deterrence. (My family followed in my footsteps and went vegetarian and then vegan as well!)

Stephanie however, represents our listeners to a much higher level. In this episode, Stephanie shares her personal story, discussing what went down each of the 4 times she attempted to make the transition to a vegan lifestyle. It took 4 attempts before it stuck, and she has dissected the reasons why, all of which are likely to resonate with others in similar positions.

This is a great episode to share!!

According to Harvard Health, for most dieters, preventing the pounds from coming back, after working so hard to lose them, is the biggest challenge.

On average, people regain two-thirds of the weight that they've lost within two years.

One way people try to prevent gaining (or regaining) weight is through daily weigh-ins.

On one hand, this idea makes logical sense. When the number on the scale starts to increase, you know it's time to tighten up the diet and/or hit the gym more. We hear clients say, "I've got to catch myself before my weight gets out of control."

In this episode we explore why your obsession with the scale is causing more harm than good. We discuss why daily weigh-ins are setting you up to stay stuck in a cycle of self-sabotage.

We hear the word, “boundaries” thrown around a lot, but many people lack a clear picture of what they really are, or at least why they are important.

In this episode we dive deep into the topic of boundaries, which are key for healthy relationships.

Healthy relationships have a balance of both togetherness and separateness. Boundaries define the lines that set us apart from those in our lives.

Creating and respecting boundaries is an important part of making empowered choices, both when it comes to our personal growth and daily activities, as well as those choices we might make with another person.

In this episode you'll learn a unique perspective on boundaries, and how to shift your mindset in ways that will help you move powerfully forward in every aspect of your life.

On this episode of the Vegan Life Coach Podcast our goal is to help you see problems from a very different angle than you're used to.

In the book, The Power of Now” Eckart Tolle says, “NOW is all we have.”

That does not mean we shouldn’t have goals for the future. It means that on our path to our goals, we can be present, live in gratitude, operate from a place of abundance, and put the positive energy out that we want to get back.

When it comes to problems, all too often we think, “Once I __________, I'll be happy, at peace, and/or free from stress… Once I lose weight, land the right job, or find my soulmate everything will be butterflies and rainbows.

We tend to think that one day we could be free from problems... Like there's a magical place that we would get to and we would then be happy and free.

What if we changed that thinking and began to explore our problems from a different angle?

We show you the way in this episode.

Gigi is a beautiful soul and she is not afraid to tell her own story which includes her journey to becoming a vegan and healing her body from cancer.

In this episode, Gigi really opens up the conversation concerning systemic racism that has led to inadequate education and healthcare for the Black population in our country. In turn this has created a generational pattern that Gigi is fully committed to changing in her community.

For Stephanie, it’s the sugar that’s her kryptonite.

Every person experiences cravings differently, but often cravings are for processed “junk” foods because they are high in sugar, salt and fat (all of which are highly addictive.) The desire for these foods that don’t nourish our bodies can be so intense and seem uncontrollable to the point that your “hunger” might not be satisfied until you consume that particular food.

Did you know that cravings are not actually caused by the stomach or the taste buds, but the regions of the brain that are responsible for memory, pleasure, and reward? This is a powerful combination of forces! We remember how these foods make us feel, and we want to replicate the pleasure experience.

When it comes to overcoming or curing cravings for unhealthy foods, we give you plenty of valuable knowledge, tools, and strategies to help you not only understand your cravings, but to learn how to control them!

EP 12: Body Image: How You Can Love Your Body AND Change It Simultaneously

Tue, 30 Jun 2020 06:00:00 -0400

The VAST majority of people are walking around uncomfortable in their own skin.

Most people that we encounter every single day have a negative view of their bodies, so if that’s you, you’re FAR from alone.

In this episode we give you three powerful strategies that will help you become aware and challenge the negative beliefs you have about your body... Beliefs that may be holding you back more than you realize.

We tell you why loving and respecting your body is a PREREQUISITE for changing it, and how you can love your body AND want to change it at the same time.

Remember… reprogramming your mind and creating a healthy relationship with your body is a process! There is no “arrival” either, the process is life long, so you may as well embrace the ride.

EP 11: How to Shift from Scarcity-Mode to a Life of Abundance and Freedom

Tue, 23 Jun 2020 06:00:00 -0400

We play a little game at the beginning of this episode and ask you to play along too!

I’ve learned so much about inviting abundance into my life, and in this episode I share my personal story about the moment EVERYTHING changed for me… the moment I made a decision from a place of abundance despite all my fears that came from living with a scarcity mindset my entire life. (I was potty-trained in an out house after all due to lack of indoor plumbing!)

The late Steven Covey coined the terms Scarcity Mindset and Abundance Mindset, and just so we are all on the same page, people who operate from a scarcity mindset believe that there is never enough. They really see life as having a finite amount of everything...money, success, love, recognition. It’s as if life were a pie, and if the person sitting beside them gets the biggest slice, then they simply won’t get dessert. They therefore cling to everything they have, afraid that at some point they are going to come up short.

When you have a scarcity mindset, thoughts and actions come from a place of lack When it’s time to make decisions, fear and paranoia set in, making it very difficult to make life decisions that will lead to self-growth and abundance. When you are living in scarcity mode, you create feelings of jealousy, stress, and anxiety because you are constantly comparing yourself to those around you and living in the fear of the unknown.

Stephanie also lived with a scarcity mindset most of her life. Don’t get me wrong by the way, we both have thoughts based on fears and scarcity at times to this day, we’re just able to recognize them and work through them!)

Stephanie shares about how her scarcity mindset led her to some of the most costly decisions of her life, not to m

-----------------------

Today's topic is something many of you, our listeners, vegan and vegan-curious alike, have expressed is a struggle... disordered eating.

Statistics show upwards of 50-70% of Americans demonstrate a problematic relationship with food. Stephanie and I agree that well over 50% of our clients would say they find themselves in some really disordered eating cycles.

People are often surprised to discover that I hid my tumultuous relationship with food for well over a decade. I briefly tell my story in this episode.

We also discuss the difference between disordered eating and an eating disorder.

An eating disorder is a diagnosis, and Stephanie describes how she believes her eating disorder really grew out of some very early disordered eating patterns.

We give you some solid strategies and exercises to do in order to begin to make the powerful shifts that will free you from the prison of disordered eating once and for all.

EP 9: Backstage Pass to a Real-Life Coaching Session

Tue, 09 Jun 2020 06:00:00 -0400

Coaching sessions are something we want to feature here on the podcast, and this means you could be on the show with us too. If you’d like to be featured in a real-life coaching session on the podcast, fill out the application form below. The session is free, but it will take some courage because we’ll be sharing it with all of our listeners. Keep in mind however, that vulnerability is something that we talk about a lot, as you’ll hear in this episode with our guest, Andrea.

Andrea submitted a form for the real-life coaching session and outlined some of the things that she was interested in. She is an entrepreneur. She has her swimming instruction business, that she and her husband run together. Andrea has recently had a significant weight loss after going completely whole food and now plant-based.

And, if you haven't listened to episode four and seven yet, we recommend you go back and listen to those prior to checking out this one because you’ll get so much more out of this real-life coaching session after listening to those episodes too.

EP 8: Finding Passion & Purpose Through the Process with Chad Weller

Tue, 02 Jun 2020 02:00:00 -0400

In today’s episode we discuss Chad’s story of how he became a vegan. You may be surprised to know it all started with a bet... But it didn’t end there. Chad has been a vegan for 25 years!

Chad’s choice to not eat meat empowered him right from the start, and he noticed quickly how much better he felt and how his body performed. His journey wasn’t an easy one though, as he had to overcome many misconceptions as a young male vegan. We discuss several of those in this episode.

Chad opens up about his addiction to drugs and alcohol and how his recovery played such a pivotal role in finding his purpose and passion. I asked him how listeners could find their passion & purpose. He said, “If you’re searching for it, it is within you. It’s a matter of turning down the noise and tapping into your truth, power, and strength.”

Chad knows quite a bit about tapping into inner strength, as he ran ultra marathons professionally. For Chad, running the ultra marathons weren’t about achieving certain times or accolades but more about connection on a spiritual level. This connection helped him stop focusing on the results, disconnect from the outer noise, and focus inward.

Running was a passion, but Chad discovered his purpose when he became a High Performance Life Coach. Like running ultra marathons, Chad found running a career & business, isn’t about the results, it’s about the process. Chad enjoys each and every day because he chooses to, and because he has fallen in love with the process.

Chad is currently working on a book, and his upcoming podcast.

Full Show Notes HERE.

-----------------------

You are going to want to stop multitasking, because in today’s training we’re explaining a tool we call the Self-Empowerment Coaching System, or SECS for short (and yes, we like to pronounce it “sex”)!

The Self-Empowerment Coaching System is the tool that we base all of our mindset work on… And our mindset work translates into lifestyle work. Everything we do, every decision we make; from what we put in our mouth, to how we move our bodies, to the decisions we make: like the decision to go fully vegan, or anything that we want in our lives. All of this is a mindset.

But before we begin, it’s time to spill the garbanzos beans. We have been biting our tongues waiting to make this announcement!

We are creating a membership program as part of our new Vegan Life Coach Academy. Our vision is very clear, but we cannot do this alone. We want you Empowered Vegan Lifers to give your input, give your feedback, and help us shape this community to be the most powerful process we could possibly imagine.

And that's why we would love to extend an early invitation to you. We want to invite you to join us as a Founding Member; to help contribute ideas on how we can make this the best place to support people who feel stuck on their journeys, to become the best versions of themselves, to master their minds and create the healthy, fit, vegan lifestyle they desire. We are offering you a very favorable Founding Members rate, that will be locked in for as long as you are a member.

Geoff' Palmer's accomplishments, though impressive, are unmatched by the incredible story of his journey that will leave you inspired.

The word “transformation” is often thrown around by personal trainers making promises about helping people achieve the lean, fit body they’ve always wanted. What these trainers are really talking about however, is change. Let me explain...

We see the before and after images of the clients, following a strict diet and insane workout regiment, having made significant changes to their bodies. What we DON’T see are images 6 months, a year, 5 years later, when 80+% of those people have gained all the weight back and then some. Their body changed, and then it changed back.

Transformation only happens when the ROOT issue as to WHY we’re not eating, exercising, and living in the ways that will bring us health and happiness!

Learn the key to TRUE TRANSFORMATION in this empowering episode to help you on your path to a healthy, happy, and fulfilling vegan lifestyle you love in this episode.

We keep it real and raw, and dig deep while leaving plenty of room for you to laugh and play with us on this and every episode.

We want you to be intimately involved in ways that will help you absorb the tools we teach and apply them to your life...
