I went from an in demand fully booked out for 3+ months lash artist to a newbie in a new city where no one knew me and no one cared. Life threw me not just a slice but the whole humble pie in my face. And it was one of the best things that ever happened to me.

If you’re going through the “what the fuck” challenges of business or big life moves, this episode is for you.

One of my favorite topics: Boundaries. Boundaries help you filter out what’s draining you of your precious time and energy so you can take care of what you need to in your life and biz including your health!

As a concept, this was foreign to me for a long time. I see and hear from women and clients that they struggle with boundaries in different areas, too. You aren’t alone!

In this intro to boundaries chat, I share:

• Why boundaries are so useful for reclaiming your time and energy!
• How the nervous system, brain and past experience play a role in how we feel about setting boundaries
• What I believe plays a huge role in women feeling uncomfortable with boundaries (i.e. being brought up as people pleasers)
• The “I got that” push through mentality that keeps many women exhausted
• How to assess where you could set boundaries + questions to journal on and let simmer
• Examples of how to implement your boundaries

Also check out the book “Set Boundaries, Find Peace: A Guide to Reclaiming Yourself” by Nedra Glover Tawwab to expand your knowledge and comfort with boundaries.

(Part 1 of 2) Becoming a Self Care CEO and creating wellness routines you'll stick to starts with defining your goals and the activities that will help you reach them! 

Broad, vague goals tend to just hang in the air and are easy to give up on. I want you to get really clear on what exactly your goal is and what it encompasses so you can take intentional action. 

You’ll also hear:

• What I hear most commonly from women as to why they aren’t reaching their goals
• The misconception around time and healthy habits
• Getting uncomfortable & putting in conscious effort

Then grab a pen and paper or open up your Notes app because we’re going to outline your wellness goals and the activities.

This is Part 1 of 2. In Part 2, we’ll discuss Implementation (because that’s where most of us get hung up).

I hope you listen and realize that you, too, are worth more than the breadcrumbs these men are serving up.

This episode contains REAL messages sent back and forth between myself and whoever the heck it was on the other end. Prepare yourself for an adventure into the unknowns of conversations with strangers (and the business ideas that can come from it).

Time to crush your goals! Paige Mitchell joins me for an insightful conversation about setting goals and how a coach can help you explore what steps to take to achieve your goals.

Paige’s story is a great example of coming full circle. She knew early on that she wanted to create an impact in other’s lives, but when motivational speaker wasn’t a major in college she went for psychology. She eventually transitioned from a career in counseling to life coaching in 2020 and has a genuine passion for helping ambitious individuals achieve their dreams of impact. 

She provides a look at what a life coach is and how coaching can help provide that outside bird’s eye view perspective and guidance.

Then we chat about the term “vague goals”. What are vague goals? How can we avoid setting them and get really clear about what it is we want to accomplish? Tune in. She gives you some great takeaways. 

She also share two tips for helping you overcome overwhelm when it comes to big goals and self talk. 

I also get Paige to share about her passions outside of coaching! It’s important to have an outlet even when you love your career. 

Paige is a Board Certified Life Coach on a mission to help you craft a lifestyle that support your values. She works with badass goal-getters reach their most ambitious dreams so that they can live a fulfilling life and make a difference in the world in their own unique way. As a former counselor, she decided to switch careers and start her own coaching business in 2020. Now, she teaches others how to become the best versions of themselves in their everyday life.

Paige earned her Masters in Counseling and has over 10 years experience in the mental health field. Her strong background in clinical psychology over the years has helped her make the switch from therapist to coach as she implements strategies that help people become more accountable and start taking action now, no matter how small.

Joining me today is Nutrition & Fitness Coach Taylor Rodriguez. Also known as Coach Taz, he is passionate about coaching and especially helping fellow busy parents navigate their own health and fitness journeys. 

Taylor tells the story of how two big job losses led to depression and getting into the gym where he succeeded in his own 70lb weight loss. This event spurred him into coaching and found changing lives was a great passion for him.

Taz delivers honest advice on taking responsibility for your health, your growth and allowing yourself to be called out when you’re acting out of integrity or alignment. 

He gets real on 3 main areas for busy moms to focus on when you want to be in better health and how he suggests mapping out your day so you can get all the things done! He also throws out the rule of “you must workout X amount of time”. Such a great discussion if you feel like you’re failing at taking the time for workouts.

Using what she learned, Antonietta applied it to the business owners sheI knew to see if any of what she had to offer was relatable to them and it was! Helping multiple business owners find their true passion in business, make more money and have more freedom have been only a few of the incredible changes that have happened along this beautiful journey so far.

In this episode, I am dropping 10 myths that I know are holding women back from what they want in their health and body. While these certainly aren't the only odd lies being circulated, they are the ones I find most common. 

I know how confusing and overwhelming it can be to simply get started - to take that first step, to finding the time you want for your own self and health care. I've felt self conscious and confused, too, by statements such as what you'll hear in this episode. 

These myths include:

 - Lifting Weights Makes You Bulky

- You to do Cardio to Lose Weight

- You Have to Be Perfect to Reach Your Goals

Tune in to hear my take on these plus the other 7 myths in this episode!

If you find this episode valuable, I would love for you to share it with a friend that needs this message also. I appreciate you helping to build our community of women who are taking charge of their own self care!

In this episode, I am joined by Mike Millner for an insightful discussion on navigating identity shifts throughout your health journey and life.

Mike shares his personal journey as a former college athlete who went through a struggle of weight gain and loss, body image issues and disordered eating to founding his company, P.O.P. (Peak Optimization Performance), and creating the Neurotyping Certification for coaches. 

We discuss the grieving process that can occur as you realize you’re shedding a layer of yourself whether it’s via a health transformation, relationship changes or even career shifts. 

Mike also shares his thoughts on: 

Accepting and becoming familiar with change when it feels hard to 

Dealing with expectations and perceptions of others as you become a different version of yourself

The phases of becoming aware that something needs to shift in your life

How to stay grounded when you lose motivation or get burned out

I also asked Mike what’s on his bucket list which led to a fun chat about hip hop and rap music, his thoughts on the greatest rappers and how music can carry you through significant times in your life. 

I know this is a conversation you can refer to again as you navigate changes in your life as a reminder that you aren’t alone and to keep moving forward. 

Mike Millner has been a high level nutrition coach for almost 10 years. He has a gift for understanding the psychological and physiological needs of his clients, which has led to thousands of success stories. His personality-based approach with an emphasis on mindset has set a new standard in the industry for which other coaches can learn and implement through the Neurotyping certification.

What to know what the Radical Self Acceptance Method entails? This episode provides all the deets!

Continuing from Episode 17, I dive deeper into the connection of my own limiting stories and self sabotage to my childhood and my relationship with my father. What I experienced in that relationship played out in my life as an adult in my relationships, health and career. 

As I began to understand this relationship and heal from these old wounds and stories, I learned to trust and love myself again. I also realized my deeper purpose of helping other women with their own inner healing so they can reach their health goals and step into a life they feel fully alive in.

I share the 3 phases of the RSAM: Radical Awareness, Radical Transformation and Radical Optimization. This covers exactly what you need to create the sustainable healthy lifestyle change you desire from mindset to education and tools to apply all of it. 

This coaching experience is going to be magical af and transformational for many women. Enrollment is open now and spots are limited so each woman can receive the coaching and TLC she needs.

Hit the link below to apply and set up a time to chat with me! Thank you for tuning in and allowing me to share about this program with you. It has been a shift for me these last few months as I share my message more and more and your support means the world to me!

For the very first client feature episode, I welcome Jessica Bennett to the podcast! Jessica was feeling blah, bummed and heavier than she’d like when she reached out for coaching a couple of years ago. Having had some issues with her neck and wrist, she wasn’t as active as she had been previously and really wanted a solid plan.  

In the process, her confidence level increased and she approaches strength training with a new appreciation. It made her realize she IS a total badass!

In this our chat, we discuss:

• What Jessica was mentally and physically struggling when she became a client
  
  
  
• How having a plan has helped her manage stress and rebuild her confidence and trust in herself
  
  
  
• Perfectionism and allowing grace
  
  
  
• Going through seasons and shifting priorities
  
  
  
• What Jessica makes room for in her schedule and life to keep her feeling good
  
  I know that Jessica’s story is one so many women can relate to! Tune in and help me celebrate Jessica as well. She truly has rocked the consistency throughout the years whether she realizes it or not.

We are talking big shift energy and trusting your gut & body in episode 14 of Crushing with Abby O. 

After a mini existential crisis and slap in the face of clarity, I realized this shift was happening and I’d better get on board or get left behind. Along with this was the realization that my intuition was right all along. I had ignored it, yet again, only to find myself in a familiar space and more than a little annoyed.

When this has happened before, I’ve spiraled down into a cloud of shame and depression. I’ve felt like a total failure and really dumb for my mistakes.

As in life, this happens in our health journey, too. Tune in to find out how I’m navigating this shift and what you can do as well when you find yourself in similar situations. 

For more information on The Radical Self Acceptance Method, click the link below to set up a free discovery call with me. It’s free and we will chat about where you are now, where you’d like to be and if the RSAM is right for you.

*Trigger Warning: There is a mention of attempted suicide in the top 15 minutes of the episode*

Enrico “be a fucking shark” Incarnati, photographer and videographer, joins me in this episode for a discussion about imposter syndrome. He shares his personal story of navigating the expectations of his parents and an identity shift that left him deeply anxious and depressed. Eventually, the identity loss and shift led to him finding a passion and career in videography that has allowed him to work with fitness pro’s such as Jordan Syatt, Zach Rocheleau and Jason Phillips plus many more.

We dive into getting comfortable in the uncomfortable, taking messy action, and how Rico snaps himself (literally) out of the comparison spiral. He also shares what helps him stay grounded amidst travel, work, mentoring and creating.

Rico’s own motto is “Be a fucking shark”. He explains why and what this means to him and how you, too, can be a fucking shark everyday.

We take a moment to reflect and chuckle about the great Instagram and Facebook outage of October 2021 when this episode was recorded. I also expose him to the late 80’s, early 90’s tech of the Walkman.

Rico also mentors fitness and health coaches to help them confidently create video content on their own.

Have you ever been frustrated around your period because your motivation is low and the cravings are strong?

On Episode 12, Jenn Marker joins me for an in depth conversation about syncing your nutrition and training to your cycle. She shares her story and the effects of a low calorie diet coupled with high intensity training days (spoiler alert: she lost her period). And she wasn’t alone. Jenn dove into educating herself on women’s hormones, cycles and how we can actually use food and exercise to help mitigate and manage our cycle and symptoms. 

We dive into a chat about birth control and how it affects your cycle, advocating for your health, why and when you should consider syncing your nutrition and training to your cycle and why, oh why, we crave chocolate around our period. 

Jenn and I discuss why we think, as women, we know so little about our bodies (we get a little fired up) and how sex education could be more useful in school. 

She also shares about her cinnamon roll taste test adventures. If you’re in the Seattle area, take notes!

Jenn Marker is the creator of the Body Rebuild Blueprint, a cycle connection program for women. This training, nutrition and hormone support program is designed to help women lose weight and gain strength without restrictive diets or excessive cardio by syncing it all to a woman’s unique monthly cycle.
She has been a personal trainer since 2010, is a Crossfit L-1 coach, as well as a hormone, mindset and neurotype specialist.
Jenn has also created a Cycle Connection Coaches program for coaches looking to further their education on women's hormones and cycle syncing.

In the summer of 2020, eczema began to spread across my face. My cheeks and forehead were so terribly itchy I would cry because I knew I couldn’t scratch my face off like I wanted. I also knew the issue was deeper than just a topical cream or special face product. That’s when I hired a coach and dove into healing my own gut and body. When I met our guest, she was going through an elimination diet herself and had been struggling with various gut related issues. This also drove her passion for furthering her education as a coach so she can help other women struggling with similar issues.

Justine Benzinger joins me today to share about her own journey in health and how the pandemic pushed her in a new direction career wise. We talk about the struggles of dealing with gut issues and how it goes beyond any aesthetic goal. We discuss why gut health and getting to the root cause is so important. 

She shares the signs and symptoms you can look for to know if healing your gut is a step you need to take. Justine also provides practical tips you can utilize today to help improve your digestive health!

I also get Justine to tell us about her goals for the future and the fitness myth/trend she wishes would disappear!

Justine is a health and fitness coach that specializes in empowering women to evolve into their fullest potential. By using Personality-type nutrition combined with personal development she helps women find balance in their career life and fitness journey. As we all know, hot girls have gut problems. From struggling with her own digestive issues for most of her life she teaches women that the pains of IBS, constipation, and bloating doesn't have to be something you put up with forever.

It’s spooky season! What a perfect time to share bad tales from first dates! The cringey. The awkward. The terrible.

First up, I share the tale of my very first online date ever (first post divorce date, too!) where my date was a bit of a mystery man with a penchant for tall tales and porsches. Yes, I did take a ride in the porsche.

Then I invite my friend and fan of the podcast, Tracy, to share some juicy and awkward first date tales of hers. I think I say “what the fuck” at least a dozen times. And what’s with all the awkward ice cream dates we are having?? Thank you for coming on to share, Tracy!

Next up is not one but two tales of cringey dates I went on with lawyers. From first date to stage five clinger and the tale of the terrible threesome, you’ll understand why I’ve sworn off dating lawyers ever again.

And finally, in a bonus almost-first-date tale that shows how creepy some peeps can be...I play the infamous text video message I received from a Bumble match less than 48 hours after we started chatting. Talk about a narrow escape. Yikes.

I hope you’re able to sleep after all these terrible first date tales, but mostly I hope you get a BIG laugh because that’s really all you can do.

Nick Reill, sleep expert, shares some key ways that you can get better sleep starting today. When you get poor quality or too little sleep for too long, the effects of that turn into a cascade effect of stress on the body. We talk about how that can affect your life, your efforts to stay healthy or lose weight, and your relationships. 

As we began the episode, Nick shared his take on caffeine and sleep. For all you coffee and energy drink lovers...his advice isn’t quite what you might think. We talk about how Nick went from a high energy, aggressive kid to a leader in the health and fitness space and how he ended up as a sleep expert through his own life experiences. 

Nick provides tactical tips for improving your sleep (even with a snoring partner). While saving your relationship, he also drops bombs of wisdom that will help you explore your own growth to have greater success in life.

Do you remember your first boyfriend? Mine was a doozy. 

On Episode 4 of Crushing with Abby O, I share the story of a bad boy and a naive young lady who gave him too many chances. 

There are many lessons to be learned from this story: 

• Saying No and speaking up for yourself when you really need to
• Trust your intuition
• Listen when your mom says “ you need to think about if this is really want you want”
• Actions speak louder than words

Shoutout to my mom making the phone call that woke me up out of my stupidity. Love you forever for that move, Mom.

The summer that I finally started to get interested in improving my health, I met a guy. In this episode, I share the intimate details of the vulnerable and cringey story of my crush dumping me, how I got into the gym and how that all ended. Let’s just say...karma.

Swipe right on this one! Over the years, I've had my share of random conversations on dating apps. Sometimes things just take an unexpected turn!

When one such conversation is shared with a group of friends and both the men and women are chuckling, I realized a podcast would be a great place to share these stories.

As I started to present this idea to my family, friends and colleagues, it blossomed into something more. Sure, dating app stories are hilarious at times. At the end of the day, you've still got to take care of number one - you. Hit play to hear the surprising, funny full story and more of what's to come on Crushing with Abby O.

In this first episode, I want to share a bit about myself and what this podcast is inspired by.

I'm a nutrition and fitness coach on a mission to help women step up and into their own incredible power through health coaching, and truly understand that self-care is healthcare.

Over the years, I've learned so much in my own journey about myself, about the woman that I want to be, and about taking care of the mind, the heart, the body, the spirit. Now, through this podcast, I want to share this knowledge and these musings with you. No BS. Only real and practical information for you.

As you all know, dating is one big adventure and as a result I have a lot of stories about conversations on dating apps and dating in real life. Both odd and amusing! After all, having a good laugh is an important part of self-care too. 

While some stories are just plain funny, there are plenty of lessons and learnings throughout these experiences. You know.. boundaries, trusting yourself, knowing your worth, not losing yourself and remembering who the fuck you are.

Together you and I, we will crush life goals and maybe a weirdo or two online.
