Welcome to The Betty Rocker Show, the place to be to nourish your mind, love your body, and rock your life.

Welcome to the second season of The Betty Rocker Show! Thank you so much for being part of my community of awesome flawsome women who are rocking their health and fitness through their entire life.  A lot has happened recently and I want to get you all caught up with this episode.



In This Episode:

  • Experiencing an unexpected change in body composition [1:20]
  • Staying focused by remembering what your true motivation is [14:00]
  • The foundations of good sleep hygiene [19:30]
  • Using nutrition to support the healing process [25:00]
  • Addressing the most common source of stress [33:00]
  • The importance of remembering our flawsomeness [42:30]

This Week’s Challenge:

My challenge to you this week is to notice and embrace your flawsome-ness. Write the word FLAWSOME on a post it note and put it on a mirror in your house, and/or in front of your work station. Think about how this word shows up in your life, and how it’s different than the word “perfect.”

Use #flawsome on social media and tag me in your posts to let me know your insights.

Episode 2 will be out in 2 week’s time!


Dealing with a Big Move and Big Health Changes

After a recent move to a new state, I had hoped that I would be able to get my health back on track. I thought that staying true to the 4 Pillars of Health would be enough, but something was changing. I was gaining weight, losing muscle, and lacking energy. I thought stress was at the root of it. It was 2020 after all. Who wasn’t stressed that year?

To get to the root of the issue, I ran a bunch of tests with the guidance of my functional medicine doctor (who will be on the show in our next episode) and began treating what we found.

Today’s Podcast is brought to you by The Body Fuel System, my 6-week easy eating system! This customizable eating plan is designed to sculpt your body from the inside out with done for you daily menus, grocery lists, simple meal prep tips and so much more!

Shifting Our Mindset to Improve Our Health

Dealing with these changes required a mindset shift. Instead of being frustrated with the process and wanting to force things to go faster, I refocused on why I wanted to be healthy in the first place, and gave myself extra self love. 

Being able to keep using my Betty Rocker practices and staying true to the 4 Pillars of Health really supported me along the way. All the things I did leading up to this year felt like a “health savings” I could draw upon, and I felt fortunate to have that resilience built in to myself. 


 

Today’s podcast is brought to you by ROCK YOUR LIFE! My online home workout studio, where you can take as many 30-day challenges as you like for consistent, sustainable progress! For added variety, we offer 5 new classes each week, healthy recipes, a private women’s only support community and MORE!

Quotes:

“You still want to be doing your own research, listening to your body, seeing what’s going on. Doing your own healthy lifestyle practices to the best of your ability and not relying 100% on just your doctor to tell you what’s going on…. The more knowledge we get for ourselves, the better and more quickly we can be an ally with our doctor and get better more quickly.” [8:21]

“When you have identified that you have something going on with you, whether it’s hormones, an illness and injury –  something underlying that your body is dealing with at a cellular level – you have to give yourself the time to heal.” [13:26]

“I had to really stop worrying what other people thought of me and care a lot more about what I thought of myself and how I was planning to take care of myself. I just got really focused on my mental health and on just the self-love piece.” [14:23]

“I think we just have to be kind to ourselves, let the process unfold, know that you’re every day learning new things that can help you in your journey and stay open to them.” [34:13]

Key Takeaways From This Episode

  1. Gaining weight doesn’t necessarily mean that you should be eating less and working out more. There could be many reasons why it’s happening. Talk with your doctor and get the tests you need to get to the root of the issue.
  2. Healing takes time and patience. Focus on what you have control over and never stop loving and accepting yourself.
  3. Mental health is just as important as physical health.

What Astrologers Want You To Embrace (& Avoid) During This Year’s Scorpio Season https://lessmeatmoreveg.com/what-astrologers-want-you-to-embrace-avoid-during-this-years-scorpio-season/ https://lessmeatmoreveg.com/what-astrologers-want-you-to-embrace-avoid-during-this-years-scorpio-season/#respond Thu, 21 Oct 2021 14:43:31 +0000 https://lessmeatmoreveg.com/what-astrologers-want-you-to-embrace-avoid-during-this-years-scorpio-season/

When frightened, scorpions sting. Brace yourself! Instinctual behaviors will be easily provoked during this four-week cycle. Prepare to feel the range of “shadow” emotions: jealousy, insecurity, paranoia, vengeance. Scorpio is ruled by hawkish Mars and powermonger Pluto, which can drive up issues of domination and control, or emotional manipulation.

In The Artist’s Way, author Julia Cameron suggests viewing envy as a “map” that, when observed objectively, can point to your true desires. It’s an intriguing way of looking at an emotion that most people brush away. If you feel any shame about your reptilian brain responses, turn to Scorpio Brené Brown for a lesson on vulnerability. The trick is to be like an alchemist during Scorpio season 2021 and transmute negativity from lead into gold.

And don’t forget: The people who annoy us most can be our biggest teachers. Does someone’s excessively loud voice push your buttons? Reflect on why that is. Maybe you don’t feel entitled to speak up or brazenly take up space as this person seems to. Challenge yourself to raise your own volume and ask directly for what you want.

Once you let yourself be that squeaky wheel, you might find that this person no longer bothers you so much. Or, if they’re interrupting your work, sleep, or personal time, summon the courage to ask them to respect your space.

Astrologers Have Your Libra Season Game Plan—And It’s Downright Decadent https://lessmeatmoreveg.com/astrologers-have-your-libra-season-game-plan-and-its-downright-decadent/ https://lessmeatmoreveg.com/astrologers-have-your-libra-season-game-plan-and-its-downright-decadent/#respond Thu, 23 Sep 2021 12:43:49 +0000 https://lessmeatmoreveg.com/astrologers-have-your-libra-season-game-plan-and-its-downright-decadent/

Every 30 days or so, the Sun visits a new zodiac sign. During this “season,” everyone feels the energy of this prevailing astrological sign, no matter what your Sun sign horoscope may be. The start of Libra season 2021 coincides with the autumnal equinox, when a day of more or less equal light and dark is honored as the Northern Hemisphere continues to tilt away from the Sun.

Peaceful, harmonizing Libra is the second of the zodiac’s three air signs and part of the “cardinal” quality (or triplicity). Cardinal signs (the others are Aries, Cancer, and Capricorn) are leadership-driven, discerning, and can even be a bit entitled at times. Cardinal signs begin every season, so they are known as initiators and pioneers—but this can also give them an alpha air when taken too far.

As we bid adieu to the efficiency and detailed focus of Virgo season, it’s time to welcome more pleasure and communal approaches into our worlds. Virgo helped us spot the flaws; now Libra season invites us to join forces and patch up the cracks, working in synergy and tuning in to what each one another needs.

Here’s how to harmonize and bring balance to your life during Libra season 2021:

Fall Is Officially Here: Welcome The New Season With These 6 Equinox Rituals https://lessmeatmoreveg.com/fall-is-officially-here-welcome-the-new-season-with-these-6-equinox-rituals/ https://lessmeatmoreveg.com/fall-is-officially-here-welcome-the-new-season-with-these-6-equinox-rituals/#respond Wed, 22 Sep 2021 16:22:06 +0000 https://lessmeatmoreveg.com/fall-is-officially-here-welcome-the-new-season-with-these-6-equinox-rituals/

The autumn equinox is a time when day and night are in equal balance—though, in the Southern Hemisphere, it is a shift to spring and not fall. In either case, we are moving into a new season today and are being encouraged to stop, celebrate, and take stock of our lives. 

Many cultures welcome the autumn equinox with ceremonies expressing gratitude for the harvest. The Zoroastrian harvest festival of Mehregan gives thanks to the creator God of the sun. In parts of Japan, there is a six-day equinox festival for repenting for past transgressions and praying for wisdom and guidance. In China, the occasion can be celebrated with moon cakes and family reunions. And at sacred sites around the world, thousands of people continue to gather to honor the blessing of time and watch the sunrise on this special day.

No matter where you sit on the globe, here are six rituals to help you welcome this new season and all the opportunities it brings:

How To Embrace The “Back-To-School” Energy Of Virgo Season — And Have Fun Doing It https://lessmeatmoreveg.com/how-to-embrace-the-back-to-school-energy-of-virgo-season-and-have-fun-doing-it/ https://lessmeatmoreveg.com/how-to-embrace-the-back-to-school-energy-of-virgo-season-and-have-fun-doing-it/#respond Mon, 23 Aug 2021 14:21:58 +0000 https://lessmeatmoreveg.com/how-to-embrace-the-back-to-school-energy-of-virgo-season-and-have-fun-doing-it/

Every 30 days or so, the Sun visits a new zodiac sign. During this “season,” everyone feels the energy of this prevailing astrological sign, no matter what your Sun sign horoscope may be. The Sun moves through orderly Virgo, from August 22 to September 22, helping us streamline and systematize the chaotic areas of our lives.

Virgo is the second of the zodiac’s three earth signs and one of three mutable signs, meaning it’s adaptable and always up for a little self-improvement. Virgo is the zodiac’s editor, with keen eyes that can spot what needs to be fixed or improved. Maybe it’s time to address some health and wellness issues or to clear out the clutter and organize your workspace.

While there couldn’t be a better time for practical changes that will bring efficiency, try not to take on Virgo’s nitpicky tendencies in the process. Sometimes “done” is better than “perfect.”

As the sign of selfless service, Virgo loves to lend an assist. This has its pros and cons. Where’s the line between “being supportive” and meddling with unsolicited feedback? Be mindful of your intentions—and other people’s boundaries—during Virgo season 2021.

As we say goodbye to bombastic Leo season, here are seven ways to capitalize on the efficient, analytical Virgo season 2021 vibes:

6 Ways To Magnify Your Voice This Leo Season, From Astrologers https://lessmeatmoreveg.com/6-ways-to-magnify-your-voice-this-leo-season-from-astrologers/ https://lessmeatmoreveg.com/6-ways-to-magnify-your-voice-this-leo-season-from-astrologers/#respond Tue, 20 Jul 2021 01:12:18 +0000 https://lessmeatmoreveg.com/6-ways-to-magnify-your-voice-this-leo-season-from-astrologers/

Every 30 days or so, the Sun visits a new zodiac sign. During this “season” everyone feels the energy of this prevailing astrological sign, no matter what your Sun sign horoscope may be. Leo season 2021 is from July 22 to August 22.

As nurturing, heartfelt Cancer season draws to a close, Leo season turns our attention away from our cozy creature comforts, putting us under the proverbial spotlight to showcase our heart’s truest passions and desires. Leo is the astrological showstopper, the sign that loves being the center of attention.

During Leo season, we can be self-centered at times, but also excited, enthusiastic, and loyal. After all, Leo is ruled by the Sun, which is the force of our solar system. This is the sign that literally gives us life!

Expressive Leo is the second of the zodiac’s three fire signs and it’s of the “fixed” quality. Fixed signs (the others are Taurus, Scorpio, and Aquarius) are builders who like to stake out their turf and claim it. They come to stay—and they come to slay. And when glamorous Leo ascends to the throne, this potent energy arrives with a trail of glitter and gusto!

Ruled by the bold, ego-driven Sun, Leo is symbolized by the proud Lion. During expressive Leo season 2021, we can start using our voices again. That mighty roar can attract admirers, but it can also arouse drama. Keep theatrics in the non-destructive zone and you can relish in a few diva moments. Sometimes it takes a little “play fighting” (conjure the image of two lions rolling around on the savannah) to establish that you can hold your own. You don’t have to rip anyone’s head off to earn that regal respect!

Here are six ways to magnify the magnanimous Leonine energy during Leo season 2021.
