Hi there sister and welcome back to the Sexyfit Podcast. Are you are a professional compliment defector? This episode might just be for you. I really want to talk about this today because this has been in my space so much. I have been giving so many compliments to so many amazing, incredible, curvaceous, fit, and beautiful women in my life. I have seriously been fascinated by the topic of compliments in the last couple weeks. You know what I found, sister? I found it absolutely ASTONISHING how many of us simply cannot accept a damn compliment. Here's What I Talked About: Why compliments make us uncomfortable and how our brain is programmed to not take compliments graciously. Understanding why compliments aren't just about us and why others compliment us. How learning to give and accept compliments creates a beautiful flow of energy and breaks negative brain patterns Brain Patterns Being me, I did a little research as to why we have such a hard time accepting compliments, and of course, it has everything to

Hey sister, You've probably seen "Instagram models" promoting "fitness" or "detox" tea all over your  feed. Thigh gaps here, big booties there, ab cracks everywhere! Is it then not surprising that at least 30 million people in the United States, of all genders, suffer from some sort of eating disorder? Yeah, not surprising at all. Today we are bringing a whole new topic to the podcast with my new soul sister and inspirational counselor, Andrea Wachter. Andrea is the author of  The Don't Diet, Live-It Workbook and Mirror, Mirror on the Wall: Breaking the "I Feel Fat" Spell so you can identify disordered behaviors in our loved ones and ourselves. Here's What We Talked About: Understanding the roots of eating disorders in teens and how to prevent your teen or yourself from catching the "I feel fat spell". How to recognize the top,very vivid, behavioral patterns in teens and how taking responsibility can change their life for the better. Why your best life is in the present moment and how to catch yo

Hey there Sister! I am so extraordinarily excited for multiple reasons. The number one reason is that Mother's Day is right around the corner. We are always trying to create the ultimate experience for our mothers because that's just what good daughters do but what is more stressful than finding the perfect gift? Nothing! That's what. Today I want to offer a different way to really look at Mother's Day, in terms of gifts, in terms of doing things right, leaving your mother happy, and getting yourself excited. Let's do this! Here's What I Talked About: Why we feel like our efforts go unappreciated and how to give the gift that our mothers actually want and will appreciate. How understanding the five love languages can lead you to the perfect gift and make this your mother's best Mother's Day ever! How we can apply the five love languages to ANY relationships in our lives and use them to boost harmony and appreciation. What are the five love languages? If you are not familiar with the five love languages, it

Hey there sister and welcome back to the Sexyfit Podcast! I am very excited to bring back to show my brilliant and gorgeous friend, Arriane Alexander. Arriane is a Rock Your Life Coach who helps female entrepreneurs and business women create a life and career they've alway dreamed of. Not gonna lie, I really did not have a clue where this interview was heading #wingingit, but it turned out to be one of those awesome interviews that just flows. We were on a roll! (Not yet familiar with my soul sister Arriane? Check out Ep#119 Flex Your Confidence Muscle and Rock Your Life with Arriane Alexander ) Here's What We Talked About: How victim mentality will prevent us from achieving success and how we can learn to own our blame to live happier and more confident lives. Why we are so over committed and how to learn to pace our lives so we can actually achieve our goals and stop stressing ourselves out. How to recognize the patterns in your life that are limiting your potential and how to forgive yourself and start le

If I were to do a side-by-side comparison of my blueberry pancakes – which, by the way, I'm obsessed with – and my behind, I think the blueberries on the pancakes would have more humps than my lady bumps back there. But before we get too personal about my body parts, I'm going to tell you something about me so you understand why I'm comparing my bootay to fruit. My name is Zlata. The only other telltale thing you need to know at this point is that I don't give a fuck about what you think about my flat ass. Sister, if you have ever felt that recent body trends are just sooo unattainable and that you cannot fit in the beauty standards of the times, check out my book The Sexyfit Method book HERE , where you can find tips and tricks to loving your body for what it is while working to be the sexiest and happiest version of yourself #nothighgaprequired (plus the best blueberry pancake recipe ever!). Here's the deal, my friend: I do have a flat arse. Like, pancake flat. For years, it was my biggest insecur

Hey, Sister! Welcome back to the Sexyfit Podcast. I have a special announcement today with the words FREE STUFF all over it.

All you have to do is leave a review on Itunes and leave your Instagram handle for your chance to win some additions to your sexy summer reading list. You still have a couple of days left! Are you tired of the constant struggle between us, women, to define and fit different beauty standards? Thick or thin? Curvy or skinny? Big butt or little butt? AHHHH! (let me take a breath). Sister,  I have been asked about the Love Your Body Movement sooooo many times and all of its misinterpretations. This has been on my tongue for a while and I think it is time to address the positives and the negatives of the Love Your Body Movement. Controversial? Maybe. Necessary? Absolutely. HERE'S WHAT I TALKED ABOUT: How the Love Your Body movement is not advocating for an unhealthy lifestyle and how to l

Hey sister, Today I am excited to introduce you to my fellow soul sister, Brittany Brown. Brittany is the founder of BeatBingeEating.com, Women's Empowerment Leader, Speaker, Author, and Master Coach. Her company helps women that struggle with body image and food. Brittany helps women return to their innate nature so they can live fully and share their gifts with the world.

Brittany has been there; she has struggled herself with unhealthy relationships with food and body image, and now she is helping women overcome the same issues she has had to overcome herself. HERE'S WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT: How to maintain a healthy relationship with food regardless of your emotions and how to eat and actually feel satisfied without affecting your weight loss goals. How dieting is tricking your brain into craving and bingeing behaviors and how to put and end to this once and for all so you can reach your long term goals (hint: you should actual

Hello, sister and welcome back to the Sexyfit Podcast! Sister, women ask me all the time if we can really ever actually love our bodies. The answer is HELL YAHS. I am not saying that it's easy but accepting yourself in a world that profits from your insecurities and your self-hatred, is as courageous as it is necessary. There are so many misconceptions about what accepting yourself really means and how to actually achieve radical self-acceptance. Sister, today I will be talking about: How acceptance does not mean complacency and how you can still reach your transformation while accepting yourself at any point in your journey.  Why you cannot hate your way into self-love and how to set yourself up for long term success instead of failure.  The importance of forgiving yourself for the years of negative self-talk and torture in order to reach your transformation stronger than ever. Accepting Yourself Does NOT Mean Complacency: For a lot of us, a lot of times, we tend to think that acceptance means co

Hey Sister, I was sitting here today and feeling insanely grateful for everything that has happened in the last month and even everything that happened for the last twenty-seven years. (Check out Ep #132 Happy Birthday to Me! 7 Thing I Learned Before Turning 27  ) Ever felt that this personal development stuff is just too much? You are doing all the affirmations, all the journaling, and the coaching, etc... If you are trying your best to better yourself and it just seems like such hard work, I invite you to see this as an opportunity to break open into being the best version of who you are. Here's All The Good Stuff I covered Today: Resilience and consistency are already within you. Letting go of the need for approval and validation. The importance of loving yourself for all of you. Everything That We Are Looking for is Already Within Us: If you are trying to find resilience and consistency, it's already within you. When you were a child and were learning to walk, you didn't just give up because y

Hey sexy, I am very excited to have my amazing friend, Lindsay Sukornyk on the show. Lindsay is a transformational leadership expert, yoga teacher, writer, wanderluster, and mama of four amazing kids. Today we are embarking on a crash course with Lindsay on following our dreams, recreating our reality to being alive and awake, and following our spirit. Let's dive in, sister. Here is What We Talked About: What it means to be" alive and awake." Finding our authentic self unapologetically, no room for apologies here.  Breaking out of fear and practical tips for becoming alive and awake. Terminology: Being Alive and Awake: Alive and awake? This is Lindsay's beautiful mantra and center of her teachings. Alive means getting out there, creating,  having goals, and making an impact. Being alive is driven by a clear sense of purpose of why you're doing what you're doing. Being awake means having passion, having fun, enjoying the ride. You know the feeling you get when you are on a roller coaster? Yes,

Hey there sister and welcome back to the Sexyfit Podcast Our brains don't just flip a switch from role to role; there is a time in between that needs to be taken to get us to our next role comfortably. These are, what I like to call, transition times. Sister, if you are feeling overwhelmed or  feeling like your amazon woman won't go away; then this episode is for you. (If you feel like your life needs some serious balance, check out Ep#125 How to Balance Food, Fitness, and the Rest of you Life. ) Here's What I Talked About: How our inner Amazon woman is keeping us in "go go go" mode. Transition times and how they are essential to creating balance in our lives. The importance of rituals to get you from one frame of mind to another. Our Inner Amazon Woman If you are lady that hustles and slays then you are totally familiar with your inner Amazon woman. She lives inside of you and slays life and get stuff done at work. Let's show some gratitude to our Amazon woman for keeping us motivated and on the

Hey sexy, I am very excited to share my Facebook live conversation with health coach, entrepreneur boss lady,  and one of my soul sisters Angie Lee. You're probably familiar with Angie from her previous interview with us: Ep #124: Build Your 6 Figure Health Coaching Business in 2017 with Angie Lee, and we brought her back for more. I know that this is unusual content than what we normally share but I feel every woman needs to hear this. Seriously, being a female entrepreneur can make us stressed and make us anxious. If your hustle is making you feel overworked, stressed, and anxious then this is the episode for you sister. Here's What We Talked About: Overly committed? People pleasing and how we are wired to be "yes woman." How to overcome emotional overwhelm. Everything that glitters isn't always gold: how success looks different for everybody. Saying Yes to EVERYTHING: Do you ever feel like there is just way too much on your plate and most of those items aren't even things you wanted in the fir

Hey Sisters, Today I am very excited to have Robb Wolf on the show. Robb is a former research biochemist (very smart guy), health expert, and author of the New York Times bestseller "The Paleo Solution" and the eagerly anticipated "Wired To Eat."  We covered some mind blowing stuff in this interview. Sisters, we were on fire. Here's what we talked about: Paleo - Fact or fiction? Robb's take on using Paleo strategies as a long term sustainable lifestyle solution How stress eating and our caveman instinct wiring are working against you on your journey to success. How is food like sex? How the concept of food porn, over sexualising food, and marketing has twisted our perception of healthy eating and might be ruining all your chances for lasting transformation (this is absolutely SHOCKING and incredible at the same time). To Paleo or Not to Paleo? If there is an expert on paleo, it is Robb Wolf. No joke, his nickname is "the Paleo diet guy."  By now you've probably heard about "Paleo this" and "Paleo

    Hey there sister, I will start off by saying that I am very excited for our spankin' new schedule. We will be bringing you THREE podcasts per week for the rest of the season so stay tuned for plenty of fun, deep, sexy stuff coming your way. I have received some questions in the community about emotional eating and avoiding treats when we are feeling less than awesome. Sister, we've all been there. I have been there. I know that if there is something all  of us women are good at, it is feeling. Sometimes those feelings are overwhelming and we just want to hit the off switch and not feel at all. However, that is just no fun. What is emotional numbing and how is it affecting your transformation without you even knowing it? The deep roots of emotional numbing and how we've been photoshopping our feelings since childhood. How to be aware of what you're numbing and how you can take empowered action to be your happiest and sexiest self.  Photoshop isn't Only for your Instagra

Hey sister and welcome back to the Sexyfit Podcast!        I recently read some comments from women in our Sexyback program regarding why they are working really, really, really hard and not seeing the results they are expecting. Why has my transformation become the most difficult task in the world? Why am I failing to meet the expectations I set for myself ? How can I get back on track, motivated, and actually have fun? Why Has It Become SOOOOO Hard? I am not here to lie to you and say that your transformation is going to be all rainbows and butterflies. That's just not my style. Truth be told, it can sometimes get messy, difficult, and sometimes plain ugly.  When the priorities in our head get twisted as to WHY we are doing what we are doing. When we lose that connection then things become hard when they should really be effortless.  We need to step back and remember the reasons we embarked on the journey to our transformation or else we think "why am I doing this?" and

Sister, if that is you - she is your new soul sister as well. Michelle is certified Transformational Coach and helps women balance their hormones and regain their energy so they can give irritability, depression and exhaustion the boot and finally feel energetic, clear-minded and ready to take on life.

You can find her new book right here, right now: https://www.amazon.com/Energy-Reset-Remove-Hormones-Restore-ebook/dp/B01N19UBKM Here is what you will find in this episode: We discussed gluten, dairy, toxins and the

Hey sister! Dining out is a regular topic of conversation when it comes to achieving our transformation. Many like to believe that health and fitness means eating out of tupperware, having no fun when we are out with friends, and sitting at home chewing on kale. …..there is always a fear that we might make a mistake and often times we don't know what to order or how to behave while we are dining out and often times when we do know what to get and we do know how to behave, we just don't. Truth be told, if you want to create a substantial lifestyle transformation doing things that are a normal part of your routine is essential. It is how you go about doing these dining out and keeping it healthy when we are out and about.  If you have struggled with staying on track while eating out listen in for your ultimate guide and your tips and tricks to dining out the right way. Here are three guidelines that will ensure you stay accountable and on track to your transformation:   Remember "my food, my way" and

Hi sister, happy Friday! I keep getting a lot of questions around meal prep. I'm thinking about teaching a whole class about it, because meal prep is truly an art that helps us stay consistent, satisfied, healthy and sexy. You know I'm a firm believer in macronutrient approach, meaning I won't teach you how many meals per day you MUST have. It's all about what feels good to you. It also doesn't matter at what time of the day you eat, as long as you hit your macros. As a result you get a great deal of freedom, flexibility and an opportunity to create what's best for you when it comes to meals and meal prep. For easier navigation around this topic, let's divide meals to breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. #1 BREAKFAST Whether you like to drink your breakfast or eat it on the go, good for you. You can have frozen veggies and fruits that you can just toss in a shaker and go. If you like eating premade breakfast, then burritos, protein muffins, overnight oats or quiche are all great ideas you can prep beforehand.
