Stop the Judgement 40 Before you judge and criticize others make sure YOUR life is perfect you see, no matter what we do / say/ post there is judgement. Post an active pictures : Get a dm or comment “must be nice to have time to do that…” Share a food story or pic “You shouldn’t eat that, or you are eating too much or not enough” See a mom at school drop off incredibly put together, or incredibly messy… more … [Read more...]

The Blame Game BLAME…It’s everywhere. It’s our spouses fault, our exes fault, our bosses fault, the economy’s fault. It’s our neighbor, the doctor, the food companies, our age, our diagnosis, THAT INJURIES fault. It’s our dang genetics, the advertisers fault the manufactures fault. It’s the world, the …it’s insert whatever here. Blame feels good in a moment. It lets us be a victim. It lets us be right. It lets us feel heard. … [Read more...]

Massive Action Is Overrated YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TAKE MASSIVE ACTION. Massive action is great but it can also feel overwhelming and make us stop or not start at all… there is another way… small steps over time. There are 365 days in a year. One small step forward every day makes a big difference over the year. I’ve had book number 3 in my mind for quite some time- but it has not poured out of me effortlessly like the first … [Read more...]

Stop Saying I Can’t Drop the “I used to be” syndrome and Stop believing that you are “too” anything ( insert whatever word here like unmotivated, busy, old, injured, etc) The key to being FIT at any age is not what you think… First the 3 basics (which you’ve heard me say before lol but here goes) 1. What you EAT. This is so much of things. Eat MORE unprocessed real natural foods, load up on hydrating nutrient dense veggies, … [Read more...]

You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know Yet! WE DON’T KNOW WHAT WE DO NOT KNOW YET. Read that again. The biggest lesson after 49 years for me is exactly THIS. Because y’all, there is NO GROWTH staying in our comfort zone of “what we already know” Ask more questions Be more inquisitive Be open minded Listen more Learn opposing sides Be super inquisitive Don’t get stuck in the comfort of what you already know. There is no growth in that. Experts are … [Read more...]

Why It’s So Hard To Make Goals A Reality Why is it dang so hard to bring your “goals” into fruition? I am hoping this will help you! I’ve seen and shifted over and over again with clients… DECISION. You may not have fully DECIDED it’s happening. You may be trying it on, thinking about it, wishing for it, dreaming about it, but DECIDING means it’s happening and you are level 10 committed. You aren’t clear on WHY you want what you want. … [Read more...]

My Big Secret I kept a huge embarrassing secret: I was FAILING big time at my business a few years ago. From the outside you would have never know that but from the inside, I worked for even less than free for 2.5 years. Yup, It COST me (a lot) of time and money to run my business, I wasn’t making a dime of profit. I was spending way more than I was earning on the WRONG people, the wrong help and it would crush me. Anyone that questioned my … [Read more...]

The Other Kind Of FAT I kill F.A.T. daily BUT… it’s not the kind of “FAT” you think! FAT stands for FALSE ASSUMED TRUTHS and it is what is keeping us from radical results in all areas of our life. It’s those beliefs you are holding onto just “because” someone told you it is so… Some examples? “I have bad genetics” “I find problems” “I could never afford that” “I’m too old or it’s too late” “I’m not good at that” “My diagnosis … [Read more...]

What would you do if you knew you would not fail? Not sure who needs to hear this tonight but YOU ARE NOT TOO OLD AND IT IS NOT TOO LATE! Just getting started over here a year before 50. Let’s GO! You can be too. Here is the question I asked my branding client this morning and I’m asking you now too… if ANYTHING was possible for you … anything… what would you want to achieve/accomplish/step into over the next year? Stop your … [Read more...]

Ready to help you expand YOUR brand I’ve shared a LOT on social over the last decade, but… you likely don’t know these things about ME (yet) 1. My career for 20 YEARS before I started Natalie Jill Fitness was is SALES (sales, then sales director then sales trainer!) I had that whole career BEFORE becoming a licensed master sports nutritionist. If you ask anyone who knows me personally what my gift is, they will tell you SALES and … [Read more...]

Attention Coaches… One day after turning 49 and I’m already COMING OUT!! I have been keeping a big secret! Although you see my books, my programs, etc alll about (aging, fitness, and nutrition) this is NOT ALL I AM… Wait what?! You see, It’s what I have built. It’s what I created from nothing. But that’s not all of who I Am. “Who I AM” is also someone who provides simple solutions. I am someone who gets to the root of problems … [Read more...]

Others Opinions Don’t Matter “Stay in your lane” “You are too old” “That’s a stupid idea” “That’s ridiculous” “You can’t afford that” “No one would say yes to that” “I would never do that” “You better have a plan B” “That is too risky” “No one wants to hear that from you” I’ve heard them all … and the more I share and grow, the more risk I take, the more I step into a bigger life, the more I hear it… But… hold up! OTHERS … [Read more...]

Surrender, Scars and Choice Almost a year ago, on my 48th bday, I got the word “surrender” tattooed on my right arm. It was my first and ONLY tattoo. I wanted that word because it means a lot to me. I know now (and knew when it became my word to live by) that surrendering is the only way for me to live. The opposite of surrender, to me, means to CONTROL and control is an illusion. When we ‘try’ to control things, (circumstances, situations, our … [Read more...]

What My 13 Year Old Teaches About Vision My 13 year old reminds me about being VISION focussed every single day. Ever since my daughter was a little girl she has talked about future things she wanted as if it WAS happening. I was the same way as a little girl and am grateful that my parents engaged my dreams and aspirations vs telling me why they can’t / won’t happen. I have watched as countless adults have told my daughter reasons WHY her goals … [Read more...]

Our Scars Are Our Teachers MY NEW ARM… scars and all. They say that life gives us whispers and small signs first and that if we do not listen, those whispers and signs get louder and louder and louder until we can’t ignore them any longer. My accident in Costa Rica 6 months ago was that loud interruption and awakening for me and my right arm is scarred as the reminder of that pivotal moment at the Mayan water portal where I set a clear … [Read more...]

Into The Light A tale of The “quick start” and the detail guy…I’ve been with my husband Brooks Hollan for ten years (married 5) and it’s so true that opposites attract! For as much as we have in common, we have some HUGE differences. He was an Olympic qualifying swimmer, I hate the pool (ummm hello bad hair days). He went through Navy SEAL training , I hate discomfort and no thanks to being cold and wet… He’s super into cars, collects … [Read more...]

Your Big Goal Is Like This YOUR BIG CRAZY HUGE GOAL IS LIKE THIS… Do you remember the day you learned as a kid to ride a bike? It was likely a huge pivotal moment for you… the day you learned you COULD. I was super young and my dad taught me. I was “SO SCARED” for him to let go. I remember crying and hiding in my room saying “I don’t want to do it!” I DID want the result (to ride the bike without training wheels like a big kid) but I … [Read more...]

Self Doubt Is Sneaky Earlier this week I was sharing with excitement a vivid and clear vision on a project I’m creating. I had been working on it for quite some time, could see, smell and feel the results in reach. It’s gotten me up super early as of late because I have been so excited to keep working on it. In a split second, with a single statement my whole belief set around myself and this project changed. He proceeded to tell me all the … [Read more...]
