Are You Tired of Riding on the Diet Rollercoaster? Free Teleseminar

August 24th, 2010, No Comments »

Are you one of the many smart, successful, high-achieving women who is BEYOND tired of struggling with food, weight, and overeating—sick-to-death of diets and plans that don’t work out–and are you feeling like you “should” have gotten a handle on this by now?

You are not alone. Heck, look at Oprah (and I mean this with complete compassion).

The truth is that these struggles—which often have their roots in emotional eating and overeating—are major issues for success-oriented women, and unfortunately, they don’t get talked about nearly enough. This means that too many women are suffering needlessly, suffering alone, and feeling bad about the whole thing.

If this is “your struggle,” please know this: it’s not about finding the right “diet” (there is no right diet), it’s about getting to the root and creating a solution that lasts.

Next week I’m giving a free teleseminar to address this very important issue:

The Secret to Ending Emotional Eating & Overeating Battles

In this no-cost teleseminar, which you can attend by phone, via the internet, or by listening to the call recording, I will cover:

• Three reasons women get stuck in battles with food and what to do about it
• Three reasons diets don’t work
• The cost of overeating and emotional eating (it’s not just about weight)
• A formula for making peace with food, taking back control, and taking charge of emotional eating and overeating—for good

. . . and much more (but no diet talk). You’ll also hear the details about the Emotional Eating Toolbox(TM) Take Action Series which begins in September.

The teleseminar takes place:
September 1, 2010 at 2pm Pacific, 5pm Eastern. You’ll want to be on the call live so that you can participate and get your questions answered, but if you can’t make the call, please register anyway. The call will be recorded and all who register will receive access to the recording. Just go here to save your spot: http://toomuchonherplate.com/free-teleseminar/

I hope to “see” you on the call.

Take good care,

You CAN Change Your Body Image! Some Food for Thought

August 11th, 2010, No Comments »

Yesterday, I interviewed Sandy Kumskov, creator of the Body Image Revolution.

If you are a woman who doesn’t like her body, who struggles with body image, who has a hard time coming to terms with how you’ve aged physically, or with emotional eating, weight battles–any kind of physical dissatisfaction–this is a call that is important to hear.

I’m so happy that I met Sandy and have had the opportunity to join her revolution!

Please Ignore Yesterday’s Teleseminar

June 30th, 2010, No Comments »

Want to know what occurred to me on my run this morning? I decided that I’m going to ask you to ignore the teleseminar I gave yesterday. In case you are wondering, the title was: Overwhelmed, Overcommitted, or Overweight? How to Unleash Your Inner Champion and Take Back Your Life (in less time than you think).

Don’t listen to it. Okay, listen to it if you want—there is a lot of great content—but truthfully, the teleseminar is about moving out of overwhelm and overload and if this is YOU, then you probably don’t feel like you have an hour to listen to another teleseminar, do you?

For those of you who were one step ahead of me and skipped signing up for the teleseminar BECAUSE you don’t have time—I hear you.

So don’t listen to it. Because I’m going to show you exactly what I talked about on the call—that it’s possible to learn and to make changes by taking smaller, more do-able steps.

Ignore the teleseminar recording because starting today, I’m going to share short pieces of what I covered in the call (and some bonus stuff). Does that sound more digestible? Fantastic!

Here’s your first ten minute audio (actually, it’s 7 minutes and 47 seconds). It’s about your inner champion and how to assess the role she is playing—and could be playing—in your life (and yes—you can download the audio—because life needs to be easier ).

Take good care,

PS: On the call that you are going to ignore, I shared information about my brand new product: The Success Soundtrack™: How to Add More Ease, Flow, Me-time AND Success Without Overextending Your To-do List in Just Ten Minutes a Day. I’m very proud of this program that is specially designed to get you connected to your inner champion and living your best life. This plug-and-play program (just devote ten minutes a day to listening to the CDs) is specially designed for the woman with a lot going on. I’ve eliminated the fluff and the time-consuming stuff and made it super easy to use. Until 7/6/10 you can use the coupon code FREEDOM at checkout and receive $20 off the price of the Success Soundtrack™. You’ll also receive a bonus 60 minute audio: How Even the Smartest, Savviest Women Can Be More Effective (Especially With Food, Weight, and Healthy Lifestyle Changes.

Overwhelmed, Overcommitted, or Overweight? How to Unleash Your Inner Champion and Take Back Your Life (in less time than you think)

Sounds good doesn’t it? Can’t you just picture your own personal super hero—complete with cape—standing in your corner?

Here’s some of what I’m going to cover:

• Two powerful myths that are holding many women back (and how to break free of them)
• How healthy lifestyle and self care impact the game you bring to your business and your professional life
• What your inner champion is and why you need to connect  with her
• How you can create more ease, flow, me-time, AND success in ten minutes a day.

The Link Between Your Fitness and Your Success

May 24th, 2010, No Comments »

Today is the first day of the first Body Mind and Business Breakthrough Telesummit! If you haven’t yet grabbed a seat–please do. We’re bringing you eleven incredible experts who will be sharing their wisdom on creating your best life and your best business. You can attend at no cost, or take advantage of a few bonus-paced options. We are kicking things off with fitness strategist Ashley Mahaffey who has tremendous energy an amazing knack for getting people into action. I hope you’ll join us on the call. Here’s a recent blog post from Ashley and a taste of what she has to offer.

The Money and Physical Fitness Factor All Entrepreneurs Need to Know

Guest post by Ashley Mahaffey

Your physical fitness is not an accessory, but a necessary tool in your outrageously successful business.

Being maximally productive to crank out products and services of tremendous value requires energy, and lots of it!  However, many people choose to invest in the accessories – website make-over, flashy power point slides, software, another training seminar, a posh outfit, etc – before considering to invest in their physical fitness.

Hey, clients aren’t buying your stuff (website, powerpoint slide, elevator speech)…really.  They are buying what you are able to uniquely serve up that impacts their lives.  How about offering them your best?  Which begs the question:  Are you truly giving from your best position?

Leaders Who Are Smashing it!

I work with many successful speakers and trainers.  They are all passionate about their work and their commitment to physical fitness increases their energy to blow away the competition.

What is clear to me is that after investing in their physical fitness my clients’ specific content doesn’t change.  They don’t all of a sudden get more knowledge to pass on to their customers.  However, the energy around delivering their message does increase.

Cost of Your Handicap

If you’re not making time for personal care and creating a holy hour  it is not only hurting your optimal health but your ability to serve your customers and get paid for doing it well.

Holding space for regular exercise will raise your game.  The truth is that if you are educated, disciplined and focused on the goal of being physically fit the end result will be that you look and feel dynamic.

After the Honeymoon

After, the courting phase with your fitness wanes and the lusty newness wears off the real challenges set in.  Travel, family and work obligations look more attractive.  But, mastery over your weight, strength and energy are achievable.

I encourage you to get a mentor or buddy to hold you accountable.

And, I’m in the business of building champions.  What I know for sure is that everyone has a champion inside.  But the champion inside of each one of us requires that we make the choice to step into our big girl shoes each day.

Step up!

Big Things Happen When You Aim Big

May 19th, 2010, No Comments »

Big things happen when you aim big! When I met Andrea J. Lee for the first time a month ago, I had no idea she’d be championing my next project!

I am so excited with the way the Body Mind and Business Breakthrough Telesummit has come together and can’t wait to kick things off on Monday. The topic of how women balance and integrate body, mind, work, play, and self care is very near and dear to my heart. My colleague Therese Skelly and I have been working very hard to create this high quality event (and lest you worry, we’ve shared many great laughs along the way). Our mission was affirmed recently when Andrea, a woman we greatly admire and respect, resonated so deeply with this topic that she sat down to interview us.  In this lively conversation, the three of us discussed some of the misconceptions and the high cost of being a female entrepreneur. If you know Andrea, you know that she had some powerful metaphors to contribute, one of our favorites being the “golden goose”—because that’s really what we are to our businesses and our lives, isn’t it?

Unfortunately, too many busy women business owners aren’t finding ways to give their golden-goose-selves what they need to keep producing those golden eggs—and the cost of not taking good care of ourselves is incredibly high (both personally and professionally). If you’d like to listen to our chat (it’s about 20 minutes long), the interview is available here (no email or opt-in required).

If you’d like to join us for the telesummit and hear what eleven experts with all sorts of backgrounds have to contribute on this topic, just go here to claim a free seat.

Take good care,

The Body Mind and Business Breakthrough Telesummit for Women Entrepreneurs

May 17th, 2010, No Comments »

Okay busy women business owners: do you ever feel like you are missing a crucial piece for gaining the momentum you want in your business—but you aren’t sure what it is? Are you working really hard and wondering how you will EVER be able to carve out the time you need to take care of yourself? Do you ever wonder how other women juggle all the balls that we seem to have up in the air? Could you use more energy, sales, positivity or mojo (or all of the above)?  One of the biggest challenges women entrepreneurs face is maintaining a working balance between many important priorities.

The truth: your body, your mindset, and your business are all intimately related (YOU are your most valuable business asset after all!).

ALL the pieces are important, and when the balance gets out of whack, none of the parts operate as effectively and as incredibly as they should. My colleague Therese Skelly and I have created a program to help. The best thing is, you can attend it for free!

Beginning May 24, you’ll have the unique opportunity to learn from leading-edge experts in the areas of health and wellness, mindset and mental strategy, and business breakthroughs—experts like Alexis Martin Neely,  Suzanne Falter-Barns and Andrea J. Lee. We’ve lined up eleven speakers for you who know their stuff AND walk their talk and I can’t wait to interview each of them and share their wisdom with you. Go here to check out the line up of speakers and grab your seat.

We’ve also set up a special Facebook group to give you lots of information and further the conversation about the event. Join us!

Take good care,

The Three Traps Women Entrepreneurs Get Stuck In: Free Call

May 9th, 2010, 1 Comment »

Are you working really hard trying to run a business–and your life? Does it ever all feel like a hamster wheel where you never quite get to where you want to go? There are lots of experts (and people who call themselves experts) who are willing to offer you a “solution.” The problem is, it often seems like “they” just want you to focus on one slice of the whole picture, when you’re busy juggling the whole pie.

My friend Therese Skelly and I invited other life and business transformation experts  Laura West of the Center for Joyful Business, and fitness strategist Ashley Mahaffey to jump into an important conversation on this topic–a topic that isn’t getting the air time it deserves.

This call takes place Tuesday, May 11 at 11am Pacific/2pm Eastern. You’ll want to be live on the call so that you can join this powerful conversation, but if you can’t make it, be sure to register anyway. We’ll be recording the call and will share access to the recording with all who register. We’ll also be dishing about the Body Mind and Business Breakthrough Telesummit which takes place May 24–June 10 and which you can attend from the comfort of your favorite comfy chair or couch.

To register for this free call, go here. For details about the Body Mind and Business Breakthrough Telesummit, go here.

Here’s to a better life AND a better business!

Take good care,

Working late? Work it out!

Another resource for busy women: Over the next month, I’m going to be sharing some guest posts from Brigette Polmar and Jenny Hein, Co-Founders of SqueezeItIn.com. Jenny Hein is an ACE Certified Group Fitness Instructor and Brigette Polmar is a journalist and published author.  Both are real moms working to develop real solutions for busy people who struggle to find time to exercise.  Their production company Multitask Productions, LLC, recently released the SqueezeItIn.com Workout DVD available through SqueezeItIn.com and Amazon.com.

If working too hard has you skipping your regular workout, SqueezeItIn.com can help you work smarter, not harder, and turn those long days into a good workout right at your desk.

Multitasking exercise – or functional fitness – is a great way to work in a workout when you’re just too busy to hit the gym or when you can’t find a 30-minute block of time to work up a sweat.  According the American College of Sports Medicine three 10-minute bursts of moderate intensity exercise performed throughout your day are equivalent to a single 30-minute workout.  Bottom line: it all adds up.  So the ladies behind SqueezeItIn.com have developed dozens of clever and effective exercises you can do while you’re cleaning the house, at the office, in your car, and even while traveling at 30,000 feet – so you can “squeeze in” a workout no matter how busy your schedule.

Here are three office moves sure to stop the dreaded desk spread (just click the graphic to access a short video):

Want to learn more ways to squeeze in fitness? I’m going to be getting tips from the women of Squeeze It In on May 5 and I’m sharing the interview with you.  Join me when I interview Brigette and Jenny–it’s free!
