Why Struggle Makes You Stronger With Dr. Jenn Burg
Y'all, this encore episode takes us back to the very first time I brought a guest onto the podcast my dear friend and former fitness coach turned life-changer, Dr. Jenn Burg. What began as hiring a fitness coach turned into me losing 50 pounds and totally transforming my mind, body, and spirit. Today we're talkin' about why struggle is actually a gift, and how learning to ask for help changed everything for me. Jenn drops so much wisdom in here, from the truth about GLP-1 drugs to why the scale isn't the whole story. Grab your coffee, y'all, this one's good.<br /><br /><b>Episode Highlights:</b><br />[2:22] Meet Dr. Jenn Burg<br />[2:42] Hurricane Michael, and finding bodybuilding<br />[8:27] "Let your impediment be your invitation" <br />[13:29] The universe is not short on wake up calls, we're just quick to hit snooze<br />[17:53] Beachy Beach, Bay Tax, and learning to accept help and sponsorship<br />[25:01] Honesty as the foundation of every relationship, including the one with yourself<br />[31:28] The truth about semaglutide and GLP-1 drugs<br />[42:15] Why the scale lies and progress photos tell the real story<br />[45:26] If you don't go out and find struggle, struggle will find you<br />[57:55] How to find your happy in the hard<br /><br /><b>Special Thanks to Our Sponsors</b><br /><b>Buffalo Rock Pepsi: </b><a href="https://www.buffalorock.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.buffalorock.com</a><br /><b>Something's Cooking:</b> <a href="https://somethinscookin.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://somethinscookin.com</a><br /><b>Ferrucci's Downtown</b>:<a href="https://ferruccipc.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://ferruccipc.com</a><br /><b>Holiday Beach Mechanical: </b><a href="https://www.holidaybeachmechanical.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.holidaybeachmechanical.com</a><br /><b>Team Patriot LLC</b>: <a href="https://teampatriotllc.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://teampatriotllc.com</a><br /><b>Bay Tax / Brian Yormack:</b> <a href="https://www.bay.tax" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.bay.tax</a><br /><b>Gypsy Willow:</b> <a href="https://gypsywillowretail.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://gypsywillowretail.com</a><br /><b>Amor Boutique:</b><a href="https://amorboutiquepc.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://amorboutiquepc.com</a><br /><b>Shore House Furniture:</b> <a href="https://shorehousefurniture.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://shorehousefurniture.com</a><br /><b>Minutes and Miles: </b><a href="https://minutesandmiles.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://minutesandmiles.com</a><br /><b>Hue Salon: </b><a href="https://www.huesalonandboutique.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.huesalonandboutique.com</a><br /><br /><b>Let's Stay Connected!</b><br />Follow along @BeSweetYall on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.

Why Authenticity Begins With Courage
Y'all, what if the thing you've been resistin' the most is the very thing you were made to do? For years I watched my daughter, my friends, and peers publish their books while I let fear win. But I finally pushed through, did it scared and unsure but I did it anyway. Y'all, my book just went to press and I cannot tell you how good it feels. Today I'm sharin' everything I've learned about resistance, why your doubt is actually your biggest sign to keep going, and how to finally surrender to the thing God put you here to do. There’s joy waiting for you on the other side. <br /><br /><b>Episode Highlights:</b><br />[1:32] My book is DONE<br />[2:31] Why affirmations saved a terrified 10-year-old version of me<br />[5:43] Steven Pressfield & The War of Art, the resistance revelation<br />[6:55] Big ideas come with big doubt and that's your sign to keep going<br />[10:03] Start before you have it all figured out<br />[11:12] Doing it anyway, even when you're still scared<br />[12:08] Pressfield's unpublished two-year project & why it changed everything<br />[14:26] Book launch details & how to pre-order your copy!<br />[15:27] I'm announcing a workshop, y'all hold me accountable!<br />[16:34] Mr. Aweeda's Guide to Gardening & the lady who wanted a pretty yard<br />[18:01] Severe pruning, cutting what's no longer life-giving<br />[20:00] The Will of Nature, living into who you were created to be<br />[25:15] The Will of Nature affirmation reading<br /><br /><b>Special Thanks to Our Sponsors</b><br /><b>Buffalo Rock Pepsi: </b><a href="https://www.buffalorock.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.buffalorock.com</a><br /><b>Something's Cooking:</b><a href="https://somethinscookin.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://somethinscookin.com</a><br /><b>Ferrucci's Downtown:</b><a href="https://ferruccipc.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://ferruccipc.com</a><br /><b>Holiday Beach Mechanical: </b><a href="https://www.holidaybeachmechanical.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.holidaybeachmechanical.com</a><br /><b>Team Patriot LLC: </b><a href="https://teampatriotllc.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://teampatriotllc.com</a><br /><b>Bay Tax / Brian Yormack: </b><a href="https://www.bay.tax" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.bay.tax</a><br /><b>Gypsy Willow: </b><a href="https://gypsywillowretail.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://gypsywillowretail.com</a><br /><b>Amor Boutique: </b><a href="https://amorboutiquepc.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://amorboutiquepc.com</a><br /><b>Shore House Furniture: </b><a href="https://shorehousefurniture.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://shorehousefurniture.com</a><br /><b>Minutes and Miles: </b><a href="https://minutesandmiles.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://minutesandmiles.com</a><br /><br /><b>Links & Resources: </b><br />The War of Art: <br /><a href="https://a.co/d/09dR3l9L" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://a.co/d/09dR3l9L</a><br /><b>Let's Stay Connected!</b><br />Follow along @BeSweetYall on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.

Don't Pre-Apologize for Your Amazing Life!
One of my favorite speakers, Jon Acuff, said something this week that stopped me cold: "We like labels because they offer an explanation for behavior we don't want to change." Ouch. I felt seen, called out, and set free all at the same time and I had to bring it straight to you. In this episode, I'm sharing the quote that changed the way I see every excuse I've ever made, why "I'm just not good at that" might be the most expensive sentence you ever speak over yourself, and what I finally realized after years of running on Karen Power and wondering why I kept hitting the wall. I'm also getting real about a pattern I see in myself and so many of the people I love, pre-apologizing for the very gifts that helped us survive. The affirmations I've been writing since I was ten years old, the ones that carried me through addiction in my home, heartbreak, and seasons with nothing left. I've been calling them "just a little affirmation book." Not anymore. our gifts were never meant to come with an apology.<br /><br /><b>Episode Highlights:</b><br />[01:12] The labels we use as excuses not to change<br />[03:17] "I'm not talented and smart enough to be unprepared"<br />[06:24] What going to bed discouraged is really telling you<br />[13:32] Karen Power vs. plugging into the RIGHT source<br />[17:56] You can't change others — but you have 100% control over changing yourself<br />[19:41] When you stop saving people, they learn to save themselves<br />[25:37] I've been pre-apologizing for my own gifts — and I'm done!<br />[30:04] Anticipate the best — the Shore House story that got me good<br />[31:29] Closing affirmation & sendin' you off with a full heart<br /><br /><b>Special Thanks to Our Sponsors</b><br /><b>Buffalo Rock Pepsi</b>: <a href="https://www.buffalorock.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.buffalorock.com</a><br /><b>Sumthin's Cookin':</b> <a href="https://somethinscookin.com/home" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://somethinscookin.com/home</a><br /><b>Holiday Beach Mechanical: </b><a href="https://gypsywillowretail.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.holidaybeachmechanical.com</a><br /><b>Team Patriot LLC: </b><a href="https://gypsywillowretail.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://teampatriotllc.com</a><br /><b>Gypsy Willow: <a href="https://gypsywillowretail.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">h</a></b><a href="https://gypsywillowretail.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ttps://gypsywillowretail.com</a><br /><b>Hue Salon: </b><a href="https://www.huesalonandboutique.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.huesalonandboutique.com</a><br /><b>Elysian Med Spa:</b> <a href="https://elysianpcb.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://elysianpcb.com/</a><br /><b>Ferrucci's:</b> <a href="https://ferruccipc.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://ferruccipc.com/</a><br /><b>Shore House Furniture: </b><a href="https://shorehousefurniture.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://shorehousefurniture.com</a><br /><br /><b>Links & Resources: </b><br />The Road Less Stupid by Keith J.
