18 | How Doing Your Laundry Lays the Foundation For Your Metabolism. With Guest, Michael Crandall, PT of Crandall Performance.

Our metabolism, our lifestyle, they all change as we age. That doesn’t mean we have to try all the fancy new gimmicks or completely leave the game. 
In today’s episode I am joined by the uber intelligent, super-trainer Michael Crandall who graciously shares his 12 years of personal coaching and research experience on “hot topics” like:
Are getting those steps worth it?
How our daily activities set the baseline for our metabolism.
Why you should wait to build your training program until you’ve established your baseline of activity.
Muscle loss, and whether we can build muscle as the body naturally degenerates with age.
Should we believe the hypes or stick to the basics?
Do we prioritize sleep, steps or whole food nutrition?
Can lifting weights make me bulky?
If I only lift weights, can I Iose weight or maintain my health?
How to approach your trainer with more challenging personal conversations, like perimenopause symptoms or chronic illness.
If you are someone who struggles with staying consistent in your workouts. Someone who is trying to get active again. Someone who is tired of trying all the fads and ending up empty handed. Someone who is trying to grasp the absolute basics to building and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Then friend, this one is for you!

17 | Rewire Your Limiting Beliefs To Stop Resisting Your Joys, with Geri Paige Butner.

Does it feel like you are always scrambling for time? Trying to catch-up on life and allowing your joys to play second fiddle? As if the joys you seek, and the impact you want to make, are constantly stop and go? Heck, maybe more stop than go.
In today’s episode I speak with business and life coach Geri Paige Butner on how you can consciously navigate hustle-and-grind, stepping into a state of flow to reclaim your true joys.
Geri shares her “Eat, Pray, Love” journey from successful corporate marketing exec to freedom-focused entrepreneur and curiosity-driven creator.  What taking a chance on stand-up comedy taught her about intention and being ok with messing up. Rounding out our episode with foundational pieces of Geri's 7 part process in transforming limiting beliefs. (P.S. I’ve tried and it works! )
Let's ask the questions that will truly get you from stuck in the mud chasing time to feeling light and free.

16 | A Coaching Technique to Help You Sustain Your New Healthy Habits.

Get out your pen and paper (or laptop if that is your jam) or just get ready to take some mental notes, because it’s time to get to some workshopping.
I sit down with you this week to review a concept learned through my nutritional studies program that is applicable to all types of habitual change.
In this episode I explore the "Difficult-easy vs. Difficult-difficult" concept. Asking you to explore what habits come easy but are destructive or non-serving, what habits seem unobtainable but you yearn to reach, fears and limiting beliefs holding you back, and super simple steps to take aligning action. 
Whether you are trying to lose weight, manage your time, or learn a new skill, and if you are tight on time, this short episode generates a useful tool for you to use to get over that proverbial hump.

15 | ”But I Eat Healthy”; Ways You Could Be Cheating Yourself Out of Better Gut and Hormone Health. With guest, Dr. Lisa Sulsenti.

Are you someone who has spent years, if not decades, ignoring why you feel irritable bowels, fatigue (beyond exhaustion), mood swings, hormonal issues and other hard to understand symptoms? Are you someone who has gone down the traditional medicinal route to understand why you are experiencing these issues only to get a call from your GP stating you have "normal" blood work or empty results from your scans? Then this episode could be for you.
I sat with Dr. Lisa Sulsenti, who for the past 25 years, has been investigating how foods affect our gut health (ie. Leaky Gut), and how our gut health then affects our hormones and overall well-being. One of the biggest take-a-ways: clients saying they "eat healthy", but after careful analysis discovering many of the foods and drinks they are consuming are in fact not healthy, for them.
If this intrigues you then dig into today's episode. You’ll get to know more of the science (with out getting too “sciencey”), what are the best tests and action steps to take, and some ways you can put those steps in motion. Our hope is that you learn something new that will help you get one step closer to feeling your absolute best.

14 | How To Find Control Within The Uncontrollable. With guest, Courtney Zentz of Tiny Transitions Sleep Consulting.

Courtney Zentz is Founder of the nation’s leading pediatric sleep consulting agency, Tiny Transitions. A organization born from her own struggles as a new parent. As she stood to build this company and enjoy new motherhood, she was diagnosed with the CDH1 gene.
A mutation of the CDH1 gene meant she was at risk for developing an aggressive form of stomach and breast cancer. Courtney had to make a decision as to what to do with this knowledge, and how it would impact her life.
Courtney’s story is one of hope, interceding on the negative news we often hear on repeat. Courtney shares a raw look behind the scenes of new motherhood and the journey after diagnosis with CDH1. Bringing us up to today, in tune with her “authentic self” and feeling truly connected to her joy.
If you are holding something bigger than you right now and you are not sure what the future looks like, this episode is for you.

When you are feeling uncertain or concerned or doubtful, how do you realign yourself? How to get you back to solid ground?

12 | You Are The Only You; How to Authentically Create a Style That Elevates Your Confidence. With guests, Jacklyn Arcuri and Laura Sweitzer of Shine ...

As we transition through life, careers, relationships, we can often be found chasing a feeling and looking for validation. How does this translate? A lack of confidence, unmet desires and expectations, a lack of purpose. And this shows up in how we present ourselves to the world, in our behaviors, through our image.
In today’s episode, I am joined by besties, expert image consultants, and owners of Shine Image Consulting, Jaclyn Arcuri and Laura Sweitzer who understand on a very personal level what this feels like.
Sharing their own journey from a combined 35+ years in the corporate arena to where they are today, which serves as inspiration for anyone looking to jump on the entrepreneurial train.
Jaclyn and Laura also share their mission to change how we perceive and obtain an elevation of image. Plus tangible take-a-ways to get you started on your own restyling journey.
And most importantly they teach us that in fact, “leather is a strategy”.
Be prepared to feel the genuine compassion of these two amazing women, to nod your head in unison as we share commonalities, and leave empowered to elevate an image (and confidence) that is truly authentic to you.

For the first 15 of her diagnosis she said she felt “overwhelmed with pain, insecurity, confusion and battling depression.”

Nitika lightheartedly takes us through her experience with chronic illness, how she has and is learning about and from her body, expelling life lessons only found when we’ve met some of our darkest moments.

10 | You Don’t Have All The Answers; Here’s Why That’s OK.

We often lean into what other people say as "bible", especially at times in our lives when we are overcome with stress. We just want someone else to tell us what to do in hopes that it will forever fix our dilemma. But life shifts so often that the miracle pill we just swallowed may be a flash in the pan, wearing off and leaving us back where we started. Aka we leaned in so hard that we fall on our face. 
This can weigh down on our confidence and the faith in our walk. So, how do we ground ourselves when we don’t have the answers? 
This is what I was reaching for when I recently confessed to a group of my gal-pals and confidants that I was feeling lackluster and discontent heading into my big-dreamy-but-intimidating 2023 goals. I found myself working and living from a place of doubt and fear; ruminating and worrying (note to self: see Episode 9). In the depth of my spiral I couldn’t see what was plainly set before me. It was with their well refined “I’ve been there” advice, God’s infinitely amazing timing, and some old school commonsense tools that I came back to myself. 
Join me today as I go full stream-of-consciousness, sharing why neither I nor you have all the answers. And you know what? That is a-ok.

9 | The Science Behind How You Think, For A Better Relationship With Yourself.

In recent years have you…
…found yourself ripping your spouse/ significant other a new one, only to later feel guilty about it? Or losing your marbles over a messy house, feeling sad for not embracing it?  Insert shame spiral, disbelief and self-depreciating thought cycles, ie: “I am a horrible person!”.
Or maybe you are someone who…
…every time you have a pain, ache, cough, etc call your doctor or spend your hours scanning WebMD? Or have crippling anxiety before you fly, even though you’ve only hit minor turbulence? You ruminate, worry and retreat from social scenarios or life appointments for fear sake. Saying things like “the world is an unsafe place”, although you used to live life with interrupted vigor!
Here is the deal ladies - what you are experiencing is in part the hormonal rollercoaster ride your body is on in this stage of life. Some days you’ll feel like fighting dragons with your bare hands and other days you’ll want to shrink into a spec of dust. Some of it you know deep down is manageable, and some times you need more support.
Enter today’s episode. Kristina takes you through a very (very) brief history of emotions, how our emotions manifest in our behavior, and what science says about our “mood disorders”. Learn from psychological study what is happening in our brain when we process thoughts, taken from the study of Cognitive Behavioral Theory, you’ll learn about Adaptive vs. Maladaptive thought patterns, bias and core beliefs. Rounding out the episode with a four step process you can start today that will help you catch your evil twin sister before she can sabotage your positivity parade.
It’s not them, it’s us but we can break the negativity bias by putting in the work.
