190 | You’ve Changed

How we think is how we live. Hosted by life and mindset coach Taylor Gage, this show explores our relationship to ourselves and the world at large, so we can be more aware, aligned, and accepting, take better care of ourselves, and feel good.

I love how raw and REAL Taylor is! She has changed my life with her knowledge, support and suggestions! She taught me how to get out of my head and peace out all my stories and limiting beliefs! I love her PASSION behind empowering women and teaching them how to feel freedom from low confidence and self esteem!

No BS podcast!!

I’ve been a Personal Trainer and Life Coach for years, and I know first hand how damaging diet culture, body comparison, etc can be especially in (ironically) the health and fitness industry. I love Taylor’s podcast and how honest and helpful she is. (Plus I actually live in Seattle so she basically is my Soul Sister ✨)

57 | Acceptance vs Giving Up: Will Self-Compassion Make You Lazy?

There is nothing (NOTH. ING.) wrong with changing how your body looks. But be honest with me— if I really pressed you to tell me WHY you are dead-set on changing how you look, would the answer be it’s because deep down, you want to change how you FEEL? If you are on what feels like a lifelong quest in search of confidence, self-love, and inner peace with your body or yourself at large, but haven’t been able to actually get there yet, with those feelings just always seeming just a touch beyond your reach, this episode is for you. We are discussing how changing your body has become messily intertwined with the expectation that it will result in changing how you FEEL about your body. Meaning: we believe the external appearance has to change first in order for our internal mindset to change. This episode explains why that is 100% backwards, and how we can actually create what we REALLY want most for ourselves, right now. *** WORK WITH ME | Apply for private coaching **** Did you enjoy this episode?

There is nothing (NOTH. ING.) wrong with changing how your body looks. But be honest with me— if I really pressed you to tell me WHY you are dead-set on changing how you look, would the answer be it’s because deep down, you want to change how you FEEL? If you are on what feels like a lifelong quest in search of confidence, self-love, and inner peace with your body or yourself at large, but haven’t been able to actually get there yet, with those feelings just always seeming just a touch beyond your reach, this episode is for you. We are discussing how changing your body has become messily intertwined with the expectation that it will result in changing how you FEEL about your body. Meaning: we believe the external appearance has to change first in order for our internal mindset to change. This episode explains why that is 100% backwards, and how we can actually create what we REALLY want most for ourselves, right now. *** <a href="https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=17311941&amp;appointmentType=9343380" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">WORK WITH ME | Apply for private coaching</a> **** Did you enjoy this episode?

The new year is here and goals are in the air. While I always want you to dream big and live with intention and achieve the impossible, there’s a BIG difference between a deeply fulfilling process of moving towards something you desire, and chasing a destination that holds the promise of worthiness, validation, or fixing. This episode gives you some some considerations to be able to sort between the pull of a healthy dream, from the punishing push of trying to escape from our current reality.  *** She Thrives Academy | Apply or Join the Waitlist **** Did you enjoy this episode?
