73: Feel your BEST over the Holidays

December 14, 2016 13:00 - 26 minutes - 37 MB

Christmas decorations are making their debut, and the smell of fresh baked gingerbread cookies is in the air. Sticking to a healthy eating plan and regular exercise routine can be a battle any day of the year. During the holidays, however, festive feasts, willpower-impairing spirits, and tempting chocolate truffles team up to challenge even the most resolute health nut. Unfortunately, the fear of putting on a few pounds, the stress of making too many ‘food choices’, or the feeling of guilt...

72: Transform your Mind, Transform your Body with Kalene Smith

November 30, 2016 13:00 - 39 minutes - 55.9 MB

My guest today is Kalene Smith, co-owner of Go Time Training, a fitness studio in Witchita, Kansas. I know Kalene through a business coaching program, and when we met, and learned more about her, I knew that you would want to hear from her as well. During the interview, though, I quickly learned how much her story mirrors my own. And honestly, it's so refreshing to connect with other health and fitness professionals who can recognize that success goes far beyond the scale, and that health...

71: A Celebration of Food with Bonnie Friesen

November 16, 2016 13:00 - 31 minutes - 44.3 MB

Have you ever been told that "food is just fuel"?  If that was true, why is food such a huge part of our culture? We celebrate with food. We connect with food. We LOVE good food. And that's part of being human. I'm excited to invite chef Bonnie Friesen to the Fit and Vibrant You Podcast to talk about how we can shift from seeing food as simply macronutrients and nutrition, and something that gives us energy, or perhaps something we fear, to seeing food as an amazing, enjoyable experience....

70: How Running Saved my Life with Ashley Wiles

November 02, 2016 12:00 - 31 minutes - 44.5 MB

The night is darkest just before dawn. And for Ashley Wiles, that is certainly true. Ashley has a powerful story of how running helped her through some pretty dark times of her life, and ultimately saved her life.  From her difficult experience, she founded Sole Girls,  an empowerment program for girls ages 8–12 to teach girls about self–esteem, confidence, bullying, being a positive peer, goal setting and success, healthy living, values and more!

FVY 69: Mean Girls, the Breakdown of a Business Owner & Setting Boundaries with Aryn Savard

October 26, 2016 12:00 - 59 minutes - 83.1 MB

Do you feel judged by others, especially other women?  Or, do you find yourself comparing yourself to those around you, and perhaps trying to pick apart and being others down?  Do you feel like you have no boundaries and are give most of your time and energy to others: career, family, friends, parents, with little time to 'fill your own bucket?'.  If so, this podcast is recorded just for you.   Up until recently, I only knew a little bit about Aryn Savard: I knew she owned the Goddess Move...

68: All about Intermittent Fasting with Sharon Fast

October 19, 2016 12:00 - 39 minutes - 54.8 MB

How many times have you been told that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, or that you need to eat small meals often throughout the day to 'fire up you metabolism'.   What if it's simply not true? I'm thrilled to bring Sharon Fast, Registered Dietitian (back onto the Fit and Vibrant You Podcast for the third time) to talk all about Intermittent Fasting. We cover:     What it is     Who should do it (and who should not do it)     Benefits of Intermittent Fasting   ...

October 12, 2016 12:00 - 49 minutes - 69.7 MB

Do you recall times in your life, or maybe you're like this right now, when you just feel really good?  You're inspired, you have energy, and you're simply happy. And then there's other times when things aren't so hot.  Everything seems to be a bit of a struggle. Wouldn't it be nice to know why, and better yet, what you can do about it? In this podcast I chat with Michelle Richardson, business and life coach, author and founder of Momentum Works, about Needs-Based Goals that Inspire...

66: Setting Boundaries and Saying No (without being a dick) with Amy Smith

October 05, 2016 12:00 - 58 minutes - 81.2 MB

I have to. I can't. I shouldn't.  If I don't do it, no one else will. Rules, expectations.  Usually self-inflicted can rob us of our happiness and the ability to take care of ourselves.  Instead of spending time doing the things we want to do, we fill up our schedule with the 'have to's', the obligations.  And the outcome is often resentment, failed relationships and letting ourselves go. My guest today is Amy E. Smith. Amy is a certified confidence coach, masterful speaker, and person...

September 21, 2016 12:00 - 14 minutes - 20.6 MB

Are you stressed? Do you feel burnt out? Overwhelmed? Me too. Life is good. Really good. But sometimes things can still get a bit too much. To many 'to do's'. Too much work (even though you may love it). Not enough play. Not enough down time. In this podcast I share a few questions to ask yourself if you're feeling this way, how to check in with yourself, and a few simple actionable items to implement right away. I have a few podcast interviews lined up with AMAZING guests (can't wait ...

62: How to Meal Prep to Fuel your Day

September 07, 2016 12:00 - 20 minutes - 28.7 MB

I recently received this question: “I find it challenging to stick to a healthy eating routine while I’m at work. I have long days; sometimes they start at 7am and end at 9pm. To make things worse- most of our meetings are over meals. The meals are usually catered, and the food is pretty unhealthy. Sometimes I skip the meals, but then go too long without eating and get overly hungry. I find it really challenging to pack all my meals with me. Please help! “ –Katrina B. Katrina thanks for yo...
