I'm Tess, and I want to help you get healthy eating delicious food that you are your family are actually excited to eat! (Otherwise healthy habits just don't stick and we want to eat donuts and fries...right?!)

I'm a cook and author of The Blender Girl cookbooks with Penguin Random House, and the creator of The Decadent Detox® and Skinny60® health programs. Millions of people use The Blender Girl recipes, I've sold over 200,000 cookbooks, and over 30,000 people have used my programs to get healthy and stay healthy. I grew up on a conventional diet of meat and three veg, and enjoyed good health. Until I developed debilitating fatigue in my teens. I was finally diagnosed with Epstein-Barr virus. I tried what felt like a hundred different diets looking for ways to restore my health. The power of whole foods, smoothies, salads, soups, juicing, and other healthy recipes helped me gain my energy back! I enjoyed really good health and ate whatever I wanted and never put on any weight. (Yeah...one of "those" people) for most of my life. Until I turned 40, my hormones shifted, I was exhausted, I packed on over 30 pounds, and I looked like a puffed up blowfish. So, I cherry-picked the best parts of everything I tried, and in consultation with some of the best doctors and dietitians in the country, created The Decadent Detox® and Skinny60® systems. I lost over 35 pounds, I was sleeping through the night, and had more energy than I had ever had. So, I consulted with some of the top doctors and dietitians in the country to fine-tune this system for other people. So, I put a group of beta testers through the programs, and the results were incredible. (Watch the video testimonials on my websites.) Now that over 30,000 have used these systems to get healthy, lose weight, reduce, inflammation and aches and pains, improve their gut health and digestion, lower their blood pressure and cholesterol, regulate their blood sugar, sleep through the night, gain more energy, and get glowing skin, I have the data: These programs WORK. What is the secret? REALLY AMAZING FOOD. That is why people do my programs and keep coming back with their friends and family. Because the food is healthy and also DELICIOUS. My superpower is putting mind-blowing flavors together! Every recipe has to look beautiful, be nutrient-dense, make you swoon with every bite, and leave you dreaming about having it again. So, basically, I create every recipe like it's our last meal on earth, and I'm cooking for George Clooney! When you love the food you're eating, it is easier to stick to healthy habits for long-term changes. My team of dietitians and I help thousands of people every month get healthy and improve their quality of life. We want to help YOU! Read my full story: https://www.theblendergirl.com/about/

Amy Stanton — founder and CEO of Stanton & Company and author of The Feminine Revolution is on the It Has To Be Me podcast this week sharing how we can leverage our strengths in life and business. Our secret weapon is our intuition. When we have the information and then listen to our gut, we can make decisions that are in alignment with what feels right.
Trusting your gut is a practice. You practice with little things, and then uplevel to the big ones.
So many great takeaways from this episode.

Are you sharing your superpowers? Or exiling huge parts of yourself to please others?

Amy Stanton, PR trailblazer at Stanton & Company and author of The Feminine Revolution, insists that our greatest assets are the qualities we’ve been told to hide.
Amy shares her secret weapon for decision making, the mistake that makes everything harder, and the best way to reshape our perspective on success and failure.
Amy says: You don’t need to prove your worth, it’s already there. Unleash your full power. Run with your wolf. Show up as your full, feeling, and sometimes-messy self.

I don’t like the word “try” because it gives us an out that we might not get there.
When you’re making decisions, remove try from your lexicon,
You always know whether you want to do something, or you don’t.
If you don’t want to, say you don’t, and move onto something you do want to do.
If you do want to do something, just do it.
Then, once you’ve done something, give yourself credit that you did it.
You didn’t “try” to do it. You did it.
You may not have done it exactly the way you wanted or as well as you could, but you still did it.
And, build on that action.
You’re ready when you decide that you are. I’m unpacking how we can shift what “ready” feels like on this week’s episode of the It Has To Be Me podcast.

Does feeling “not ready” block you from going after what you want?
Let’s shift what “ready” feels like to stop waiting for the “right time” and just take action.
This “I’m not enough” or “I’m too much” story can keep us stuck.
We don’t actually have to be different to meet the moment.
This is something that comes up every week during my Office Hours for the 60-Day Reset.
So, on the It Has To Be Me podcast this week, I’m sharing some of the self-talk strategies I share with our members.
The “high-low” and “water not cement” exercises
“I get to” shift
the “3 vs 11” barometer
And the “Well, that happened” approach
I’ll also share the words we use all the time that feed the bully perfectionist.
We don’t get rid of self doubt, but we can build a different relationship with it.
You’re ready when you decide you are.
The key takeaway: Share what you know now. Sometimes the best teacher for a 3rd grader is a 4th grader.

Does feeling not ready block you from going after what you want? On the It Has To Be Me podcast, let's shift what “ready” feels like to stop waiting for the “right time” and seize the day.
The “I’m not enough” and “I’m too much” narratives are not opposites, but stories echoing from the same voice of self-doubt. We feel like we have to be different to meet the moment. Rather than buying into the myths, create a different relationship with the story, and use it as a springboard for action.
Exploring the impact of family dynamics, we look at how to disrupt old thought patterns, identify energetic currencies, and use our strengths to build confidence and resilience.
Next up: Self-talk strategies. The high-low and “water not cement” exercises, the “I get to” shift, the “3 vs 11” barometer, and the “well, that happened” conversation.
I close with the words I remove from my vocabulary when making decisions, and the mantra that helps exile the bully perfectionist. Then share the random interaction with a stranger that changed my life. There’s one that can change yours.
The key takeaway: Share. Sometimes the best teacher for a 3rd grader is a 4th grader.

The three phases of the protocol, and how to implement them in the least restrictive way.
Who it's right for and who shouldn't be doing it.
