Ep. 022 – Meet Your 4 Types Of Emotional Eaters & Learn How To Help Them

By EXPAND, The Podcast No Comments

 

Episode Description

Every nutritionist understands how difficult it can be to coach emotional eaters.

In the beginning, they show up with the best intentions to “stick to your plan”.

They get hopped up on hope and convince themselves that “this time is going to be different than the last”

However,

It doesn’t take long before they fall-off-the-wagon and start caving to their cravings at night, and binge eating on weekends.

Unfortunately, their hopes and wants are simply no match against their emotional attachment to food and what’s triggering them to crave it.

It’s a vicious cycle.

And 99.9% of nutrition certifications don’t teach nutritionists how to get out of it.

Instead, they continue to cram macros, “check-ins” and meal-planning down our throats.

But here’s what I want you to consider…even the most scientifically sound program isn’t worth the app it’s stored on if the client struggles to consistently follow it.

The reality is, Emotional Eaters need a specific type of nutrition plan to fit their ‘eating-personality’ (there are 4 types)…

…and they need a coach who can help them work through the barriers that obstruct them from following the plan.

So…if you’re ready to meet the 4 Types of Emotional Eaters (and learn how to help them), this episode is for you!

Ep. 021 – How To Work With “Complicated Clients” w/ Special Guest: Krista Scott-Dixon

By EXPAND, The Podcast No Comments

 

Episode Description

Let’s face it, most of us would LOVE to work with a full roster of clients who see things exactly the way we do and follow everything we give them…who never challenge our advice or resist our suggestions…and who see incredible results because of it.

But in reality? We might be lucky to land a handful of these dreamy clients in our entire career.

And what’s much more likely? Is that your clients will often feel “complicated”.

…They won’t always do what we say
…They will struggle with even the smallest of tasks
…They will want faster progress…hate the mindset work you give them
…And they will DEFINITELY struggle to open up about their thoughts and feelings (even when you ask incredible questions).

So the thing is…if we want to make it as a successful coach? We need to equip ourselves with the skills to be able to navigate these challenging clients and learn to feel at home in the uncertainty these conversations often bring.

Today, I am joined by Krista Scott-Dixon to begin a new conversation aimed at arming you with these skills…plus offer up a few incredibly powerful perspective shifts I believe every coach needs in order to truly ascend to that next level.

Ep. 020 – Is Your Client “Aware Of The Real Problem”? – You’re Not Done Yet

By EXPAND, The Podcast No Comments

 

Episode Description

Awareness tools and mindset “work” is great and all…but let’s face it…it’s not really creating the profound behavioral shifts and breakthrough moments we hope for, is it?

Sure, we’re taught mindfulness strategies, affirmations, journaling, talk therapy, motivational interviewing, and other helpful awareness tools in our certifications.

Plus it’s ingrained into us how important changing our clients mindset and relationship with food is in order for truly sustainable change to occur…right?

But the trouble is, when we try to keep using these same strategies after awareness has already been created? (Or in other words – after your client can identify the deeper reason why they’re stuck in a loop?)

It’s like pouring water on the fire alarm trying to put out the fire.

So then…what DO we do after we create awareness? Where DO we go from there?

This is where traditional coaching falls short…we aren’t taught how to help them take that next step…which is why I love this episode.

You’re going to learn exactly where to take your clients next so you can stop having the same conversations every week and actually create some forward momentum.

Ep. 018 – What Your Certification Missed About Coaching Mindset

By EXPAND, The Podcast No Comments

 

Episode Description

It’s not new information for your clients to hear that “they really need to heal their relationship with food”.

They 👏🏼Already 👏🏼 Know 👏🏼

That’s actually the real reason they’ve hired you…to help them explore what’s really going on deep down.

…so then the real question is…

Do YOU really know how to heal their relationship with food?

Do YOU understand what’s really going on deep DEEP down?

Cause the thing about how you’ve been traditionally trained to help someone with their mindset?

Is that affirmations, journaling and other awareness tools are only getting them warmed up for the journey…

And if you don’t know where to go from there?

Buckle up, cause it’s going to be a loooong frustrating ride as you drive around in circles for the next 2-3 months having the same conversations over and over again…

…praying for the week where “something finally clicks” and they DO THE THINGS we have been suggesting all along.

So if you’d like to bypass that whole sucky process?

Check out today’s episode where we dig into what we need to be doing to break free from the monotonous pep-talks and start moving them towards more meaningful change.

Ep. 017 – Running A Flawless First Session | Masterclass

By EXPAND, The Podcast No Comments

 

Episode Description

How you run the first session with a new client is crucial. It sets the stage for easeful adherence, unparalleled trust, unwavering buy-in, and long-term retention all while maintaining open & honest communication throughout the coaching journey with you.

But the problem is that most of us kinda just wing it – and because of this we end up making a whole host of mistakes that are actually causing the opposite to happen, like:

👻 clients ghosting us when they struggle and quitting before they reach their goals
😭 clients not doing what they say they’re going to do
😱 clients resisting our help and getting upset by their results

In this special Masterclass Episode I’m going to help you stop floundering through that first call so you can feel confident and grounded in how you set them up for success.

To do this, you’re going to learn:

  1. How to use your consultations as a runway into a dynamic and collaborative coaching relationship
  2. How to start the first coaching session to get them excited for what is to come (instead of scared to open up and skeptical of whether they can really do this)
  3. How to build the big picture journey without overwhelming them and accidentally creating a divide between your advice and what they feel ready to take action on
  4. How to figure out what their most important first action steps should be (plus, how to hold yourself back from over-teaching and sabotaging the buy-in you just built)
  5. How to subconsciously trigger a feeling of safety for your client so they will accept their struggle as a part of their progress and cultivate a new (more-grounded) relationship to the process

Ep. 016 – One Step To Make More Money, Feel More Confident, & Build A More Fulfilling Coaching Practice

By EXPAND, The Podcast No Comments

 

Episode Description

The secret to making more money, feeling more confident, and building a more fulfilling coaching practice?

Stop trying to fix people. That’s literally it.

Why? Because when we hang our hat on our superhuman ability to fix things?

It just forces us into this really gross place where we get hyper control-y over their adherence…we helicopter mom their myfitnesspal accounts…and we spend so SOOOO much time and energy thinking about whether or not they are doing what they said they would do.

I know you don’t feel empowered here, love. Which is why in this episode we’re going to chat about a much better way to be, lead, and show up for your clients (and yourself).

Ep. 015 – Hard Truth Time: You Can’t Control The Outcome

By EXPAND, The Podcast No Comments

 

Episode Description

Hard Truth Time: YOU CAN’T CONTROL THE OUTCOME.​

You simply cannot control whether your client gets results…does what you say…texts you when they’re struggling…shows up for their coaching calls…checks in on time…or tells you what you need to know to really help them change.​

You just can’t (unless maybe you have some crazy voodoo powers I don’t have?🔮)​

But for some unknown reason this is the normal expectation we place on ourselves as coaches…we take it on as our responsibility to control the uncontrollable😳🔫​
​​
Not only is this a one way ticket to burnout land…but it also dries up every last drop of excitement and fulfillment we once felt for the work we get to do.

In this episode we’re going to explore a better way to hold our clients through their journey with us…one that has nothing to do with controlling outcomes…and everything to do with taking control over something else entirely.​

Ep. 014 – You are the GPS, NOT the Chauffer

By EXPAND, The Podcast No Comments

 

Episode Description

It’s natural to want to over deliver for our clients to give them the best possible experience working with us, right?

But in order to do this (not to mention, get them awesome results) we often OVER-SUPPORT in a few detrimental places that can actually cause our clients to more easily fall back into past habits once they stop working with us.

😯😖​

Think about it like this…

If we spend the entire coaching relationship fixing problems they run into, picking them up off the ground when they fall, and constantly bailing them out of SOS situations just to keep them on track?

They might very well reach their external goals — but they wont have changed very much internally (even WITH really consistent mindset work)

Simply put – when we are the hero FOR them? We rob them of the uncomfortable growth required to become the hero of their own lives.

They don’t ever learn how to navigate these tricky scenarios solo – and when they run into similar ones in the future?

They’re unprepared.

In this episode we’re going to explore what it means to release the over-responsibility we feel to safely get our clients to their end destination, and instead become the GPS supporting their journey (wrong turns and all)

Ep. 013 – 3 Ways To Instantly Elevate Your Confidence As An Online Coach

By EXPAND, The Podcast No Comments

 

Episode Description

In this episode, I’m tackling 3 of the most common questions I get asked by coaches just like you…​

#1) ”I’m trying to create a process to follow with my 1:1 clients…where do I start!?”

#2) ”I have taken so many certifications and I’m always reading books and taking workshops to help my clients more deeply…but I still don’t feel like I’m ready…what am I missing?”​

#3) ”I always seem to attract really difficult clients…and I know I can help them, but they just won’t open up to me about what’s really going on. What should I do?”​

So if you’ve ever grappled with a similar question, I hope this helps! Let’s get into it…
