This week on the Fit is Freedom Podcast, we’re going to discuss that pesky little voice in our heads. You know...the one that can keep us from achieving our dreams and reaching our goals.
If I could change one thing about everyone, it would be this! That voice that says, What if I can’t keep up? Or What if I hold others back? It actually ends up holding us up and keeping us from trying new things and putting ourselves out there.
Among other things, we’ll be discussing some ways to get rid of this troublesome voice through some of the following…
Not being ashamed to be a little behind
Not taking things personally
Not letting one struggle define us
If you’ve ever experienced the nuisance of self doubt, this is the motivating episode for you!

I’m joined on the podcast today by my good friend, Jane Hogan. Jane is a functional medicine certified health coach who uses her platform to help women heal naturally from joint point and find the happy, less stress filled life they were meant to lead.
Jane walks us through her personal journey that, at one point, was riddled with so much stress and inflammation, that she could barely even walk to where she is today, summiting high mountain peaks and helping to inspire others along the way.
Along with learning about Jane’s journey, we also discuss some really important topics regarding our health including:
The impact our lifestyles are having on our stress levels and inflammation
Quality food for our health
Tackling joint pain
Helpful “thought swaps” and how they can impact you
Putting ourselves first to achieve optimal health
Mindfulness
This episode is riddled with thought provoking tips and meaningful reminders about slowing down and taking care of our bodies. If you’d like to learn more about Jane Hogan, be sure to check out her website by clicking here.

This episode is all about FREEDOM! Entrepreneur extraordinaire Eleni Anastos joins me on this episode of the Fit is Freedom podcast to discuss all the ways we have the power within ourselves to be free.
When I think about freedom, I usually think about it in the sense of fitness. Fitness brings so much freedom to our lives through being able to chase goals and find new journeys, but Elani shares a new perspective with me today.
Elani shares that to be truly free, we need to remember that we have the ability to choose. Even in the middle of a pandemic where it might seem like our choices are limited, we still have so many things that are still in our control.
On the theme of freedom, we also discuss…
Sourcing your own power
Maintaining personal boundaries
Not owning other peoples’ struggles
Dangers of self-limiting beliefs
Learning from experiences
And so much more…
This episode is truly packed with all the inspiration and freedom you could ever need! Give it a listen and get focusing on what you can control on your way to a freer, more fulfilling life!

Episode 86 Notes
In my eyes, there are two types of hope. There’s a good kind of hope, and something I like to call “hope fitness”. The good kind of hope is one of my favorite things about what I do. There’s nothing better than leaving a call with a client where I can tell that a person suddenly feels that what they want to achieve is possible. It’s like a lightbulb goes off, and they can see all of their doubts and fears are melting away.
On the other hand, “hope fitness” is that type of fitness where someone simply hopes that they can do something, but they really don’t see it actually happening. This kind of hope is a hope without a plan and without anything to back it up.
On this episode of the Fit is Freedom podcast, I’m going to be discussing one amazing way that you can change “hope fitness” to the good kind of hope where you are ready to make your fitness dreams a reality!
Join me as I’ll be sharing more about the ultimate Fit is Freedom experience, which includes...
Training
Accountability
Community
Competitiveness
...and more!

With my group coaching opening soon, I’ve been thinking a lot about the importance of coaching in our lives. There are so many different types of coaches out there. There are fitness coaches, life coaches, business coaches, and the list will go on and on.
On this episode of the Fit is Freedom podcast, I’ll be recounting some examples of good opportunities of working with coaches as well as some bad ones.
We’ll also be exploring the qualities of a good coach which include:
Leading by example
Observational with quality feedback
Provide check-ins
Challenge you to step up
Working with a coach can be a life changing experience if you know when to say yes and when to take their feedback and go on your own way. Join me today to learn the difference!
