Corinne is a weight loss coach with what she calls a no-BS approach, helping her clients lose their mental weight so they can feel better about their bodies before they even start to lose weight, if that’s what they want to do.

This week, we’re talking about the five biggest misconceptions I see about thought work and mindset coaching. As a coach who’s been in this game for 10 years and professionally for five, I still have so much work to do to keep the faith in the process to see the revelations and growth in myself.

But what if conformity and being “normal” doesn’t actually mean safety?

Brenda Lomeli is a Master Certified life coach and holistic nutritionist who helps powerhouse women know exactly how to get what they want and feel confident doing so. Brenda and I went through master coach training together, and while we’ve endeavored down different paths with our business, we both have the same mission of empowering women and helping them feel unstoppable.

Whether you never think about setting big goals for yourself, or you land on the opposite end of the spectrum where you swim in perfectionist thinking about the overnight changes you’ll make in your life, I guarantee doing this work will illuminate thoughts about the goal that aren’t serving you and shift your mindset about the process of getting there.

On this episode, I’m helping you turn the tide of the making and keeping resolutions process.
