The thing that's holding you back....
This month we’re tackling a big topic: getting rid of what’s standing between you and your goals. 

This could be what you put in your body (food) … what you focus on with your thoughts and beliefs … and anything else that’s cluttering up your wellness journey.

The first step is probably the hardest …

It’s getting REAL and identifying exactly what’s holding you back. 

It’s a challenge because we can get into autopilot with our everyday life … and we don’t even notice what’s in our way!

I have an exercise you can do to help.

Grab your favorite pen and a journal – or open a Google doc – and start writing.
(Pro tip: The words you will write are for YOUR EYES ONLY and you can throw away/delete what you write later if you want!)

Make a list of ALL of the reasons you think you haven’t been able to achieve your goals.

Seriously, write down everything! 

Maybe you hate getting up early … don’t like “healthy” foods … feel like you don’t have willpower or motivation … feel overwhelmed … feel alone in your journey …  or maybe there are factors outside of your control.

Or maybe you think your goals are for other people – not for you.

Let loose and write it ALL down.

THEN, read through your list and look for common themes: time factors, mindset/motivation issues, confidence, support/accountability, etc.

Now it’s time to get into problem-solving mode and TAKE ACTION.

  • Don’t have support? Find it! Think of the health/fitness-minded people in your circle and enlist them, search for an online community, and/or work with a coach (a real game changer).
  • Not enough time? Get creative. Find ways to sneak fitness/health into the spare moments of your life. A coach can help with this, too.
  • Mindset issues? Surround yourself with motivation – read self-development books, watch inspiring YouTube videos, and keep a journal to track your progress.
    This is a HUGE area where a coach can help. 
Imagine how great will it feel to finally ditch the obstacles between you and your goals. 
INCREDIBLY GREAT.

And I'm here for you if you don’t want to do it alone. 

If you are frustrated, exhausted, and feel like you are spinning your wheels in the wellness area, I know I can help you. Just respond to this email and we can chat and see if one of my programs is a good fit for you.

Have a wonderful Easter week. I'm headed home to Austin on Friday to celebrate my dad's 85th birthday! Looking forward to some fun family time!

Meet Colleen Riddle

 
I spent much of my life trying to figure out where I fit.

Growing up as the youngest of six, so much younger than my brothers and sisters, I was always just ‘little Colleen’ — tagging along, in the room but not really part of the conversation. My opinion didn’t carry much weight when everyone older had already decided. It wasn’t unkind — it was just the math of being the baby of a big family. But somewhere in all that tagging along, I started believing that belonging was something you had to earn, or wait for, or hope someone remembered to include you in.

That feeling followed me into adulthood more than I realized. Through different seasons of life, careers, challenges, and reinventions, I kept chasing the same thing: a place where my voice actually mattered.

It took years of personal growth to understand how deeply that search had shaped me — and to realize that the thing I’d been looking for my whole life was exactly what I was meant to help others find.
