    2025/01/22
    Welcome back to the podcast! 🎙️

    In this episode, I'm joined by the remarkable Shirley Billigmeier, CEO of Innergetics and author of the groundbreaking book Inner Eating (featuring a foreword by a Mayo Clinic doctor).

    Shirley shares her revolutionary insights on boosting energy, confidence, and overall well-being by tuning into the gut-brain connection. During our conversation, Shirley explains why many of our eating struggles stem from ignoring the innate wisdom of our gut and reveals some of her strategies to empower us to overcome disordered eating patterns, embrace freedom, and enjoy vibrant health—without diets, drugs, or external rules. Shirley’s wisdom is a breath of fresh air in a culture dominated by diet chatter, and her approach focuses on reconnecting with our bodies and honoring our natural boundaries.

    Key Takeaways from our Interview:
    • Gut-Brain Connection: Discover how your gut sends nine times more messages to your brain than the reverse—and why this is crucial for understanding hunger, energy, and health.
    • Reclaiming Eating Boundaries: Why infants are born with natural eating boundaries and how we can reconnect with them as adults.
    • The Power of Awareness: Learn Shirley’s simple starting steps—like sitting while eating and embracing total choice—to become more in tune with your body’s needs.
    • Freedom from Diet Culture: How Shirley helps clients eliminate external rules and judgments, empowering them to trust their bodies and find joy in eating.
    • Life-Changing Results: Hear inspiring stories of Shirley’s clients who’ve overcome lifelong eating struggles, healed their relationships with food, and transformed their lives.

    Reinvent your life and Find your Voice
    2024/11/16
    Welcome back to the podcast! 🎙️

    In this powerful episode of Rocking Midlife, I chat with Antoinette, a coach, speaker, and fellow podcaster who shares her insights into finding and using your voice, regardless of whether you’re an introvert or extrovert.

    We discuss the importance of mindset, the value of our unique stories, and how to inspire others by simply stepping out of our comfort zones. Antoinette even shares a transformative seven-day challenge that’s designed to help you uncover new directions and possibilities in life.

    Key Topics Covered:
    1. How introverts and extroverts approach speaking and sharing differently
    2. Why everyone has something valuable to share—no matter your background
    3. The importance of focusing on others rather than yourself when sharing your story
    4. A seven-day challenge to help uncover what you truly want in life
    Takeaways:
    • Real change comes when you stop focusing on yourself and instead think about the people you’re impacting.
    • You don’t need to be a huge success to help others; you only need to be one step ahead.
    • Consistently ask yourself questions that spark introspection and let your subconscious do the work!
