The Power of Coaching: Creating Lasting Change for Health and Parenting

Research shows that people are more likely to succeed when they make changes for their own reasons, rather than following directives that often lead to resistance. Coaching empowers individuals to take charge, fostering lasting change on their terms.

Coaching is a goal-driven process designed to help individuals achieve positive outcomes in health, parenting, or personal growth. While life and career coaching are well-established, health and parent coaching are emerging specialties. As a certified health and parent coach, I use evidence-based strategies to help clients align their strengths and values with their goals, creating sustainable success.

Fall is a great time to Move FORWARD…..

Fall is a great time to make changes in your life. Mel Robbins says this is based on research. Robbins says September has natural benefits, including the physical and mental cues of shifting routines, similar to the “back to school” mentality. This creates a built-in motivation for personal development that lasts well into November. Time to schedule a health or parenting call with Siah Fried. She will help you be accountable with her Move FORWARD coaching plan.

Balanced Eating: A Healthier Approach to Nutrition and Well-Being

My philosophy toward nutrition aligns with creating a balanced approach to eating. By refraining from categorizing foods as strictly “good” or “bad,” we foster a healthier relationship with food. Instead, we can refer to less nutrient-dense foods as “sometimes foods.” This shift in language helps to normalize all food choices and lessens the emotional weight associated with them. It encourages individuals to view eating as a source of nourishment and enjoyment rather than a source of guilt or anxiety. By developing this mindset, we can significantly reduce the risk of disordered eating and support a more positive body image. Ultimately, it’s about cultivating resilience and understanding that nutrition is just one aspect of our overall well-being.
