I have struggled for what seems like my whole life with loving the body that I came in. My sister and mom have always been thinner than me and I like to eat good food, but this has been a year of transformation. I reached out to Lisa Bodenburg to help me recalibrate my health habits and it’s time to share. 

Lisa and I met through a mutual friend and I was blown away by her dedication to her health. We’d all gotten together and were having a meal at a restaurant and Lisa was on a cleanse. She spent a good bit of time explaining exactly how she wanted her meal cooked because she was dedicated to staying true to her cleanse. 

“The desires of your heart are meant to be followed because that’s exactly who you are. You can truly do anything you put your mind to. So if your mind and your heart is telling you to do something you’re only selling yourself short if you don’t take the opportunity to go after that.” -Lisa Bodenburg

I had a lightbulb moment right there in the restaurant and I asked her about her commitment to her health. We’ll share more about that moment in the episode, but it was then that I knew I wanted to work with her. I needed that dedication to health in my life. 

While James was away on a trip with his friends I started on the path to good health and a stronger me. (I’m happy to say I’m down 10lbs and feel better than ever!)

Listen in to hear all about the first 30 days of my journey, how you can get started, and why your ability to succeed is all in your mind. You can do anything you set your mind to. If you’re ready to make health and fitness a priority in your life, connect with Lisa and tell her that I Heart My Life sent you!

“Looking at the positive versus maybe what I’m missing out on or any sort of loss pain that may be there. Obviously we can do that with any area of our life, not just fitness. It’s shifting the focus to what we’re gaining and that opportunity benefit that’s there versus the loss.” – Emily Williams

Do you remember the last time your life took a total 180?  Perhaps it was the time you moved to a brand new home (or city), welcomed a new family member, or quit your full-time job to finally pursue your true passion. Or maybe it was a more sudden, shocking, or sad type of change, […]
