The definition of Perception is a way of regarding, understanding, or interpreting something. We can perceive things in many different ways and today's episode is all about how that can make life easier, joyful, and happier for us or more stressed, anxious, and negative all based on how we perceive things and situations around us! We truly have the ability to make EVERYTHING as GOOD or as BAD as we want to make it! Which do you choose?!?

The definition of Imposter Syndrome is the persistent inability to believe that one's success is deserved or has been legitimately achieved as a result of one's own efforts or skills. But do we deserve it? Do we achieve things because we're THAT good and have it all figured out? No, we ALL have doubt and we ALL learn along the way through our success and failures! Instead of trying to overcome Imposter Syndrome, what if we embraced it? In 2 Corinthians 12:9 says: But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. Where we can't, He can! There is so much peace in that! Go find me on Instagram and let me know what you think of today's episode! XOXO Want to grow on social media? Click here!

Do you find your days to be very similar? Constantly saying, "I don't have time!" or "One day I'm going to..." Then this episode is for you! Today I share a super simple quote that made me start thinking about how life can become very monotonous! We easily start living out of habit, doing things because we're used to them and before we know it...one day looks just like the other. Or we do something without thinking because we're used doing it. But is it something we really WANT to do? Is it something that brings us closer to the Godly woman we're striving to be? Listen to this episode and come back to me on Instagram: @kristinkotzebue and let me know...What jumped out at you that you want to be more intentional with? I can't wait to hear it!

How many times have you taken a picture only to delete it because you don't look good enough? So often we women take pictures and then hover around the camera critiquing ourselves and making sure the picture is approved for social media... or do we need to take another one? In today's episode I share a story of a time when some girlfriends and I were doing just that and my friends husband said 7 words that hit me in the heart and put us all in our place. Plus another uplifting quote and bible verse to remind us that a picture doesn't define us. Let's be an example to our daughters and shine with confidence, not self doubt and vanity.

Alright sister friend, I get it...you're done with diet culture but the idea of food freedom has you questioning things. Is Intuitive Eating really even possible? Have no fear! In todays episode I'm going to break down the three most common myths and misconceptions about Intuitive Eating... If I can eat what I want, won't I just eat junk food all day long? You can't lose weight will practicing intuitive eating. Intuitive eating doesn't focus on nutrition at all. Oh my, friend, I understand your concerns but these are all FALSE! I promise you can say goodbye to diets, rules, and restriction while still eating ALL foods and reaching your health and wellness goals! Cheering you on always! XOXO, Kristin 💕

Did you know we can be more of the World OR more of the Word!? When we’re of the world we often can get caught in the comparison trap and feel less attractive, unworthy, unloved, lost, and wonder what we have to offer. When we're in the Word, we find peace and joy with things that are actually important so we don't feel the need to compete! I wanted to do this episode in order to create a “tool box” of Bible verses that you can keep with you so whenever the enemy is getting you down, you can pull it out and remember WHO God created you to be! You are so special and you can’t forget that! I pray these verses help you to RISE UP, know your worth, and remember who created you and that you have SO MUCH to offer! If you like this episode PLEASE screenshot it and share it to your stories OR copy the link and email or text it to a friend! And if you haven't left a review yet...what are you waiting for? That's the best way to help me encourage more women like us trying to live free and eat free! Cheering you on always!

Sometimes we feel like we want to be told exactly what to eat so we think a diet will work by giving us strict instructions to follow and see results. Then we start the diet regimen and eventually feel restricted, annoyed, and consumed with making food choices we don't want to make! Like ordering a grilled chicken salad instead of pizza! The diet rollercoaster is filled with ups and downs, restriction, and binge eating! NO FUN!!! In today's episode I share with you exactly how I eat and 3 questions I consistently ask myself in order to be a conscious and present eater instead of eating out of habit, eating out of frustration and binging, or simply overeating. I hope these three questions help you to become more self aware and take better control of your choices too! Remember, nutrition doesn't have to be so hard! ALL foods are invited at the table and you shouldn't feel guilty about that, you just need to learn how to do it in a healthy way! I'm so glad you're here and would love to help you with any health or wellness goals you have for 2021! Just reach out to me on your social media platform of choice!

What price do you pay in order to reach certain health and wellness goals?!? Do you skip out on a party in order to not be tempted by the food. Pass on girls-night because you can't trust yourself around chips and queso? Maybe you attend events but aren't totally present because you're concerned about what to order to stay "on track". You're preoccupied by not ordering certain things that you really want so you can't stop thinking about it instead of just enjoying those around you... Does any of this sound familiar? In today's episode I share with you something that's on my heart after some recent events happened to people near and dear to me. It helped me to realize how precious life is and sometimes we get so caught up in the world and trying to look a certain way, reach our goal weight (haven't I told you to throw away that scale?!?), get abs, look bikini ready, etc...and for what? Yes, it's totally OK to have health and wellness goals but it's not OK to obsess over them and miss out on life in the meantime! Here are 2 reminders to help you out! ENJOY!!

Do you ever feel pressure to look perfect? To lose weight, to tone up, to try a new diet? The pressure is real! Social media, TV shows, movies, friends, and so much more contribute to our mindset...they can build us up, or tear us down. In this episode we talk about how all the things of the world that can lead us to feeling negative, drained, and comparing ourselves to others. The things of the world are fleeting, always changing, and very unreliable! When we're consumed with them we start to feel like I'm not pretty enough, we don't have enough, we need to change our body in this way and that way... When we're of the Word, that pressure is taken off and we find so much peace in who God says we are and what really matters! Listen in and say goodbye to feeling less than, comparing yourself to others, and not accepting yourself for who you are! You are fearfully and wonderfully made!

Nutrition is often a pendulum that swings heavy one way or the other... Restricting, dieting, working out to burn certain foods off, counting calories, macros, or points and walking inside the lines of a THICK rulebook. OR... Binge eating, consuming everything you can get your hands on, not working out or moving your body, throwing your hands in the air and feeling defeated. Believe it or not there is a middle ground and it's such a happy, peaceful, joyful place to be! I want you to join me there and the first step is finding food freedom and changing the rules you've believed for so many years! I believe there are three main pillars that help you cultivate confidence to live a happy, healthy life! Listen in to Day 1 of the Cultivating Confidence Workshop as we discuss the first pillar...food freedom!

Last week I posted a video over on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CIb6-REpw_K/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link So many women sent me messages saying how much they loved it and totally agreed. A few women messaged me though saying how they just weren't there yet. They feel like the need to lose weight and in order to do that they're going to have to watch what they eat and go on a diet. Remember, diets don't work but your thoughts and feeling that it's the only way out are valid! In today's episode we talk about why you feel that way and the hope you have to change those thoughts and actually find food freedom! It is 100% possible!
