I wanted to create a weight loss program that helps people lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle, because we want a way to enjoy our food and our life don’t we?

This is a way to lose weight and positively impact health through changing habits and lifestyle while preventing
relapse, it’s about longevity of change. The program consists of four different phases:

Phase 1: Identifying the problem
Phase 2: Changing the environment
Phase 3: Changing the routine
Phase 4: Maintaining the change

This way of living leads to weight loss success because it goes through the process of elevating happiness through changes in health that naturally lead to weight loss, backed up by a system to prevent relapse so you can enjoy
your life with a new healthier and happier body.

It's a process that can be followed by anyone who wants to lose weight and stay healthy for life and the program is divided into three sections: preparation, change, and maintenance.

In each section there are...

What’s perseverance? It’s maintaining steady persistence and continued effort to do or achieve something despite difficulties, failure, or opposition.

And that’s what you need to change your life’s trajectory and that’s what Barney Hodgson has in spades, the ability to persevere.

Sometimes we have to break ourselves down, change many, if not all, aspects of our lives because we find the way we’re living our life is no longer tolerable. And the biggest obstacle we face in those times is it leads us to being incredibly vulnerable to our own inner demons as we take the reins of our life back and start to steer it through conscious choices that go against every natural instinct that is telling you to stay the same.

Barney realised that the road he was on was no longer working for him and he changed every aspect of his life and started carving out his new path. He’s pulled himself up by his bootstraps every single day and fights for what he...

Are you bathroom scales a friend or foe?

Do you give your bathroom scales too much power over your happiness?

I did.

Until I realised I was asking them for the wrong information.

Instead of asking them to tell me how much weight I was losing when I was on a diet, I should have been using them every day to tell me how much weight I was putting on!

The brain is a tricky thing and it used to always befuddle me how I could gain 20kg without noticing?

Yes, you heard me right…I could put on 20kg’s without noticing!

Maybe you’ve had the same experience?

I don’t know how many times I asked myself “How on earth did I gain 20kg without noticing?

Well, here’s the answer, and it’s a ridiculously simple one too……

It happens because we simply stop stepping on the bathroom scales when we don’t like what they tell us.

Instead of using the information in a constructive way i.e.; take note of what’s happening and make small...

Grief is a universal emotional and mental obstacle that we all have to go through and find ways to live with. And it doesn’t matter how many times we experience grief, it will always be different because people, places, situations and circumstances are never the same because how we feel about those people, places, situations, and circumstances is always different.

Julie Cliff shares her experiences of overcoming grief, leaving a job she loved with the Melbourne Storm rugby team, and mapping across those skills into her own business helping others to declutter and get their homes organised.

And what does decluttering your home and losing weight have in common? Watch this episode and find out.

It’s easy to forget how much we know about things that really captivate us or the areas of life that we’ve been imbued with isn’t it?

I was in a conversation with some people who were talking about a previous co-worker. They were talking about them with the curiosity that only hindsight seems to bring to challenging work situations, and I offered some perspectives that they didn’t seem to be seeing.
What I didn’t notice was that I talked for about half an hour to what turned out to be a captivated audience. They were blown away by the depth of knowledge I was sharing and of the multiple reference points that I was leading from.

I left that conversation thinking to myself, why was my conversation so exhilarating for them when what I was sharing was reasonably basic information?

I’m still not sure to be honest, but after some contemplation, I think that what is basic knowledge to me on that topic isn’t really basic to others who haven’t...

As captivating people go, Anton Guinea is definitely amongst them.

He has an impressive list of credentials but what really stands out to me is that he has been in 2 very real crisis situations in his life. It was finding out how those experiences have shaped not only his life but career choices and the ripple effect out to others as he now teaches leadership under pressure and how to advance through adversity that provides great insights into both our fragile humanness and our mighty fortitude to overcome obstacles.

All our habits are accumulative.

Whatever the habits of your life are, helpful or unhelpful, they're accumulating and compounding and taking you to a future destination.

And habits are funny things, we pick them up willy nilly it seems, with no real thought to what we're training ourselves to do. One day you just decide to have a biscuit at 10am and then the next day, you remember that you had a biscuit at 10am and you liked it so you do it again, and the next 3 days after that, you find yourself having a biscuit at 10am. If you do that 5 days a week, every week, that's 5 biscuits a week, 20 a month, 240 biscuits a year. That's a lot of unnecessary calories, right?

And our brain is a little bit sneaky too, not on purpose, it's just the way evolution has designed it, but once it learns a new habit, it just puts it into the rotation with all the other things you've taught it to do automatically and you lose conscious awareness of the habits that are shaping your destination.

Now, a...

 Lauren Cooper is an ordinary woman who does extraordinary things!

Can you imagine running a full marathon across terrain hot enough to literally melt the glue that’s holding your sneakers together?

Well multiply that by 7 and you have the Marathon des Sables: a 6-day, self-supporting race across the Sahara in 40-50 degree heat, carrying your own food, cooking equipment, water, and bedding and literally running the distance of 7 full marathons in 6 days.

Harder still to imagine the decade of her life before that and going through an 8-year of life journey with her husband as they both dealt with his long and ultimately terminal illness and how that changed Lauren's attitude to how she would live life.

We’re all shaped by the lives we live and Lauren is no exception.

In this amazing conversation we cover the many phases of Lauren's remarkable, yet completely normal, life and how she has made new choices and decisions that have taken her to new and interesting places...

There are 101 protein products on the shelves of supermarkets and health food stores everywhere. But are they really as good for you as the marketing says?

Only you can decide what you want to consume, I simply encourage you to develop a habit of reading labels so you're aware of what you're putting into your body.

Reading the front label of this product would leave you thinking that it's a good choice and with a name like Raspberry Truffle, you're also thinking it's going to be yummy.

But when you think about all the ingredients on that ingredient list and how much processing each individual ingredient had to go through and then how much processing the whole concoction had to go through to give you the chewy tasty mouth sensation that will (in the eyes of the company) hopefully have you coming back for more, think about what your body has to do with it to extract the goodness (if indeed there is any) from it.

Protein bars are often purchased as a "healthy treat" and they're also...

There are so many layers to Amanda Page. From choreographing tap steps in her kitchen during the day to clear her neural pathways, abseiling down into disused mines, discovering in her 20’s that the reason she processed information differently to others was because of dyslexia and that looking at spreadsheets of information is like reading the matrix for her because the information stands out to her in 3D and she can see the stories woven throughout that others cannot.

Amanda is a Change Expert whose purpose is to live in a world where everyone is fully equipped to deal with all aspects of change.
