Stop doing this. Don’t you hate it people asked for your advice and they don’t take it? Or even worse, they do the opposite? Well on last night’s Wildly Alive Weight Loss coaching call a client expressing this exact feeling about her mother. Her mother kept complaining she was “feeling fat”, and as a good WAWL sister, she did what most of us would do – she shared some tools and tips she had learned through the program. She was knew it would help shift her mindset around her body. (I mean its worked for her, why wouldn’t it work for her mother?!) But it seemed like her advice was going in one ear and out the other. As she sat there angry because she wasn’t being heard, she quickly realized that her mother’s negativity towards her body had definitely played a role in perpetuating her own body issues. She was tired of spending all this energy trying to help her Mom and getting nowhere. She asked me what she could do to get her Mom to listen so she would just stop complaining. My answer was not what she wanted to hear. But, as a good coach, shooting it to you straight is part of my job. “You need to stop giving your Mom advice.

And I have ALWAYS had a hard time allowing people take care of me, let alone receiving help. “Excuse me? You’re offering help? Are you saying I am incapable? No thanks!” — What I would be thinking when people offered to help (yikes!). I used to… Try to fix my family members who weren’t happy lost in addiction. Tell Zac how he should switch careers. Shell out endless amounts of relationship advice to my friends. Spend hours on the phone with my entrepreneur friends showing them the ropes. I never used to… Call my friends and ask for advice. They’re too busy. Tell Zac when I was feeling down or overwhelmed. I mean, who wants to have a moody girlfriend?! Tell my family when I was sick or sad because I didn’t want them to worry. Ask for help. Ever. All this responsibility was literally weighing me down. I was exhausted from being “on” all the time. I was depleted because I wasn’t seeking emotional support, and I was eating everythi
