Grace & Grit Podcast: Helping Women Everywhere Live Happier, Healthier And More Fit Lives

I have had Irene Lyon on the Grace & Grit podcast more than any other guest EVER. Why? Because her work has influenced my life and the life of so many of my students in powerful ways. She has a gift for helping people tune into the body, listen to its wisdom, and then respond in ways that serve our wellbeing rather than destroy it. The doors for Irene's 12-week program, Smart Body Smart Mind opens later this month and in this episode, I share my own experience in the program with the hopes that it will give others the courage to take the leap to register as well.

In this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast I have 5 incredible women joining me who have fiercely committed to putting their healthiest years ahead of them and in dedication to that endeavor, decided to join me inside of my Rumble & Rise community. They are here to share with you the work they have called themselves to do, how they have stayed the course despite the rumbles they face and to celebrate some of the ways in which they are rising. And, yes, I am sharing this with you with the hopes that you too will decide to bet on yourself and join us inside this one-of-a-kind community. If you enjoyed this podcast today and you can hear yourself in these women, I would be honored to have you join us inside of Rumble & Rise.

Who you are currently being in the world is a culmination of the things you have practiced so many times you have quite literally become those things. Clients will often say, “that’s just the way I am” as if they are bound to that way of being forever. Not true! If your practices to this point in your life shaped your current state of being, new practices can develop you into a new state. To develop new practices, however, you are going to have to face the truth of your current practices (minus the blame, shame, and judgment). In this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, I am sharing a few tips and tricks on how to do just that.

I talk a lot in my work about the concept of Buffering, which is when we try to change our emotional landscape with something outside of us. We feel lonely so we eat. We feel bored so we scroll social media. We are stressed or uncomfortable so we drink. The problem with buffering is two-fold: It distracts us from the truth of our life. It has long-term consequences. Buffering with alcohol has some unique consequences I believe for the perimenopausal and menopausal populations, which is the age group I primarily work with. So I could not be more thrilled to be hosting Veronica Valli on the podcast. Veronica Valli is changing the narrative on sobriety. With 21 years of sobriety and 19 years of experience as a recovery coach and psychotherapist, she understands that there is no ONE path to sobriety. I adore Veronica, her message, and her mission and I am excited for you to tune into this conversation that we recently had.

It is downright impossible to create new possibilities for your life if you are living in reaction mode. After all, your reactions are a byproduct of what you have been practicing. So, if you want to generate new outcomes, you have to practice new things, which means getting very intentional about how you live your days. In this week’s episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast, I discuss one of the most important foundational elements of doing just that.

How we rumble with challenging emotions is a big deal. Why? Because emotions drive your behavior. So, I could not be more thrilled that Sarah Louise Lilley, who has been a long-time member of my Rumble & Rise Community, agreed to join me for a conversation about the power of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). The holidays tend to be a pressure cooker of emotion for many women, so sit back, listen in and learn how simple it can be to pivot your emotional landscape.

While the holiday season can usher in joy, celebration, and fun, it can also bring with it a hefty dose of stress. Family, social events, travel, and gift-giving can feel like a LOT on top of an already overflowing schedule. In this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, I give listeners a few ideas about how to travel through the holidays with your mental and physical health intact, so you can start the year ahead feeling strong, grounded, and ready for whatever comes:) You can listen here: https://graceandgrit.com/podcast-262/ **** Looking for more support?  Join me in the Rumble & Rise arena at https://graceandgrit.com/readytorumble **** Are you loving the Grace and Grit Podcast?  Help us keep the mic on!

You know what’s amazing about gratitude? It is one of the few resources we are gifted an endless supply of. There is no limit to the amount of gratitude you get to experience and/or express. And yet… How easy it is to not feel or express it at all. In this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast, I remind us all of the health-promoting benefits of gratitude AND take you through a very simple exercise for extending gratitude for one of the things women so often seem to be at war with… the human body:) You can listen here: https://graceandgrit.com/podcast-261/ **** Looking for more support?  Join me in the Rumble & Rise arena at https://graceandgrit.com/readytorumble **** Are you loving the Grace and Grit Podcast?  Help us keep the mic on!

It would be lovely and oh-so-simple if health was simply a byproduct of nutrition and exercise, but it’s not. Not by a long shot. It is a byproduct of learning how to better manage the things IN your life that act as stressors on your life. And… A dysregulated nervous system can be a massive stressor to the human body as my guest, Irene Lyon, so beautifully explains. I have been a longtime fan of Irene Lyon’s work around trauma and nervous system health because I have seen it improve the lives of not only clients, but I have experienced the power of nurturing the nervous system in my own life first hand. If you are a human being, you have a nervous system and it is worth checking out this episode to find out how to start caring for it the way you do other systems in your body:) You can listen here: https://graceandgrit.com/podcast-260/ Mentioned in this podcast: 21-day Nervous System Reset - https://ea188.isrefer.com/go/21days/CT/ **** Looking for more support?  Join me in the Rumble & Rise arena at https

Relationships are messy, unpredictable and wildly imperfect. And perhaps no time of year exposes that truth quite like the holidays. In this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, I remind listeners about what they can control within relationships this season (and every season) and what they can’t, with the hopes that it will help them travel through the holidays with less stress and a whole lot more peace and joy.

When it comes to improving health, there is something that proves to be immensely helpful time and time again.  AND, sadly, it is often overlooked. It is not a superfood, supplement or shake. It is not a radical diet. It is not an extreme exercise program. It is… are you ready?? Practicing basic life-promoting habits, consistently. So, what are the basic lifestyle habits that make such a big difference to your health? Well, that is precisely what we cover in this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast.

I have worked with clients who struggle to apply any degree of discipline when it comes to their own self-care and I have worked with clients who have applied discipline to the point of self-destruction. Neither promotes health. If you want to improve your health, you need a dash of self-discipline but how much you need really depends on what else is happening in your life. In this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, I will help you identify when you might need to dial up the self-discipline in your process and when you might need to dial it down.

Last week I ran an online event for 250 women called The Consistency Code Crash Course and in that class, I asked women to identify their time leaks (a time leak is something that costs time but isn’t really contributing to your value system). The most popular answer? Social media. So, I decided it was high time that I tackle this issue on the podcast. If you are spending more time on social media than you would like to be, have a listen.

There is a lot of opportunity in present-day culture to make the process of improving your health oh-so-complicated. But who needs complicated? The women I coach certainly don’t. Their schedules are jam-packed, their to-do lists are 10 miles long, and overwhelm has become a way of life. Take a deep breath and rest assured that in this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, I am going to remind you how simple the road back to health can really be.

“I don’t have time.” “It’s not a good time.” “It will be a better time when______.” Sound familiar? I hear these phrases often when talking to women about doing the work that needs to be done to reclaim their health and happiness.

In nearly every conversation I have had with someone considering hiring me, there are a few sentences I almost always hear. One of those being, “Courtney, I just feel stuck.” I have built a knack for helping women get unstuck along their health journey and in today’s episode, I am going to introduce the “getting unstuck” formula that I teach every client I work with.
