The holiday season is over and the New Year has begun! You're filled with inspired thoughts of the better "you" you'll become and first thing on the list is to LOSE that holiday weight...well, I'm not unlike you. And my guest today, Camille Martin, registered dietitian, public health writer, author of “Love To Lose: Love Your Life & Watch The Weight Lose Itself” and facilitator of change for women speaks to us about how to focus this energy from a productive place of joy rather than the negative, self-deprecating place the culture of dieting often comes from. Her inside-out approach completely focuses on shifting our mindsets from these lower vibrations of comparison and appearance to choosing more for ourselves in the way of big goals that leverage our gifts and purpose. She shares that by doing this, we naturally begin to make new choices and change our habits that support the desired weight loss. Keep that New Year's resolution with Camille's realistic and long-lasting approach and next year...you'll b

In this episode we talk about our creative blocks and explore how letting go and introducing more FUN to your process can stimulate creativity and add to your productivity. The more fun you have, the more likely you’ll keep going, stay inspired and avoid the dreaded podfade (reluctantly giving up due to overwhelm that leads to burnout).

We have curated a special bonus season for you that will release weekly during our usual Tuesday release that is a bit of a throwback from Season One.  Because if you’re like me then you might be spending this time exploring what you’d like to create next and finding inspiration. So we have a BEGIN SERIES that focuses on all the things you need to get started. How to create small steps, how to get out of your own way and make starting easy, an exercise to discover your core values, how to connect to your intuition to make creative decisions well, how to make it all fun and acknowledge your process along the way and so much more! And you may notice that when this series was recorded back during Season One, I was just beginning. So the sound quality is a little different and even my voice sounds different than it does now when I speak. This is a bonus meta glimpse into my growth process from then to now as well. We hope you enjoy this fun BEGIN SERIES taken from the Be Bold Begin Vault and use it to fuel your n

My journey has largely been focused on themes connected around the power of voice. I believe purpose and message are directly related to speaking our truths and when we speak our truths confidently we have the power to not just change our own lives but to change the world. My conversation with the seasoned and accomplished Judy Rodman of All Things Vocal breaches all of those themes as we walk through the journey that is her amazing life. If there is one takeaway you have as you listen...let it be that your voice is indeed valid and worthy. And that love is truly at the core of a joyful and inspiring life.  More from Judy Rodman: Visit: https://www.judyrodman.com Listen to: All Things Vocal on Apple Podcasts Instagram: @judyrodman Facebook: @JudyRodmanVoice If you need to carve out MORE time to get to your next project AND have the bonus of self-care baked in then you can download my free guide 3 Shifting Self-Care Strategies That Will Actually Create MORE Time In Your Day! or go to mortime.avanthausmedia.co

Today's Question: What Would It Feel Like To Honor This? Each week we’ll ask a question of our subconscious mind by saying it consciously…with some context. What would it feel like to just ask yourself for the changes you’d like to see? To start to think differently about things in your life you would like to change simply by asking yourself…a small question. How it works: you ask a question that does not need to be answered in the moment.  Why it works: your brain does not know how to deny a question. It is designed to answer it. But by asking it in this way…it’s your subconscious mind that does the work for you. Ask and then just let it go. Your subconscious brain will do the work for you. Today's Question: What Would It Feel Like To Let Go?
