THE CONFIDENT BODY PODCAST - Weight Loss Coaching for Women, Psychology, Brain Hacking
Lizzie Merritt
Brain based weight loss coaching for women. Do you know *what* to do to lose weight but can’t find the time or energy to actually do it? Are you the one always behind the camera taking pictures of everyone else on vacation because you don’t like the way you look? Are you ready to stop waiting to lose weight in order to start participating in life? In this podcast, you’ll find shame-free weight loss solutions that set you free from the exhausting cycle of being ”on a diet” or ”off the wagon”. ...
Thin Brain Training with Coach Carlene Podcasts is based on Carlene's 15+ years of working with obese women to help them not just lose weight but to keep that weight off. It doesn't matter what diet you use or how fast you want to lose weight, what matters is the mental changes you make to break embedded dieting patterns. What good is it to lose all that weight only to gain it back because once you're at goal you return to the eating habits that made you gain weight in the first place?

Below Zero to Hero - Brain Dump by the Fail Coach
Miha Matlievski
Can setbacks fuel future success? When I coach entrepreneurs, I tell them, "Fail forward and fail fast, and every day will be a school day." What that means is that there is always a lesson to be had and failure is one of our greatest teachers. Approach every day as a school day. In this podcast, I will do my best to share with you my failures, business and personal, and all the lessons learned so that hopefully you don't have to repeat those same mistakes.
