LVL CLIENT STORIES: Asking Your Coach for Support Isn’t Failure, It’s Success
When was the last time you walked into a wellness space and weren't immediately asked about your "problem areas" or how much weight you wanted to lose?

LVL CLIENT STORIES: Your Worth Does NOT Come From How You Look
If you want to find freedom from the appearance-obsessed fitness culture, if you're tired of the all-or-nothing cycle, if you're ready to make health fit your life rather than the other way around—GSD might be exactly what you've been looking for.
Procrastination Isn’t the Problem — This Is…
You’re not avoiding the task. You’re avoiding the feeling that comes with the task. Your brain is wired to keep you safe, not productive. But here's the problem, in trying to protect you from discomfort, procrastination usually just piles on more stress. More guilt. More shame. So let’s interrupt that cycle.

The Missing Piece Between Knowing and Doing: Why You're Not Actually "Lazy"
If you're not following through on your workout plans, it's not because you're lazy, unmotivated, or lacking willpower.

No, I Won't Tell You Exactly What to Eat (Here’s Why...)
Some people work with a women’s health coach because they want to hand over all responsibility for their eating to someone else. — I get it.
There’s so much conflicting advice out there, and it almost feels like thinking about food as task you want to get off your “To-Do List”.
So, what do you do?
Binge Eating: A Vicious Cycle
Bingeing comes from trying to control yourself around food; instilling a discipline so strict that your inbuilt, biological impulse to desire what you can’t have goes into overdrive, and the result is a binge of epic proportions. Think “drowning in Popeyes Chicken boxes” or “I think I’m actually going to puke” levels.
Binge eating is often triggered by diet mindset. And here’s the newsflash: YOU DON’T EVEN NEED TO BE ON A DIET TO SUFFER FROM DIET MINDSET. — Say what?
