Kathleen Layer Coaching

So much fun doing this segment with Armstrong and Gary Svetz on the Small Business Jump Start Program and the Meadville community!

Small Business Jump Start "Kathleen Layer Coaching" Kathleen Layer of Kathleen Layer Coaching discusses her business a...

I’ll be honest, in today’s thin-is-everything climate, my brain likes to offer thoughts that what I do isn’t needed anymore.

It’s not what people want.

It feels like weight loss is everything these days. It’s everywhere. And it can be easy to get sucked down in that rabbit hole.

So I choose to put myself in spaces where we’re having different discussions.

I choose to consume content that feels empowering.

That’s honest.

That talks about the beauty and strength in women—and specifically, women embracing their here and now body.

The body that’s right in front of them today.

And then there will be these moments, like Sunday at my Release Your Body Story Workshop at Yoga Spot Meadville where I am reminded—by real, authentic, wonderful human beings—why this work is so important.

Why learning how to truly love yourself and your body is so important.

Loving as a verb. As an action. As the way we take care of ourselves.

The way we treat ourselves.

How much we’re all so connected by this one thing.

This one belief that was NEVER inherent in us.

That did not come from us.

But society so feverishly and deliberately shoves in our faces every day.

That our bodies are not enough.

That we are not enough.

So we do (quite literally) anything and everything we can to appease the masses. To fit the standard. To be what the world says is healthy and beautiful.

And quietly we struggle.

And quietly our world revolves around “clean” ingredients, counting our steps, and analyzing every inch of our bodies in every photo, every mirror, and every window.

Because on the quest to make our bodies smaller, what we end up doing is making our lives smaller.

You are so much more than a body.

And there are SO many other ways to look at, explore, experience, improve, and define health that have absolutely nothing to do with your weight.

We’re just not taught that.

And with all the noise out there right now, I want to be a space that gets you out of the rabbit hole.

Stick with me for more.

Thank you, Yoga Spot for having me. I can’t wait to do this again!♥️

What if we didn’t spend so much time thinking about food and your body this summer?

What if all that time and energy that gets absorbed into how we look could be lifted and spent on something much more sweet and enjoyable?

What if we could actually like our body this summer? Be kind to ourselves.

We’ve been told our entire lives that the way we look and the size of our body is what dictates our health, happiness, confidence, and success.

But that’s bullsh*t.

You deserve to feel free to exist in the body you have. To live your life. To take care of yourself. To join in on the fun instead of hide out in your own head.

🔆 Sunday, June 28th at 11:30 am 🔆

We all have a body story. It’s the one that inspires how we think and feel about ourselves. The story that can either build us up or quietly hold us back. Too often, that story says we’re not good enough as we are and that we need to shrink our bodies to be the “best” version of ourselves. But your body isn’t the problem. The way we’ve been taught to think about it is. Join Master Certified Health & Life Coach and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, Kathleen Layer, for an immersive, lecture-based workshop designed to shift how you think about food, your body, and your health. Through guided mindset work, meditation, and discussion, you’ll uncover your current body story, gently break free from societal rules and body ideals that have kept you from feeling confident in your own skin, and begin writing a new one rooted in trust, compassion, and respect for your body as it is.

No more diets. No more self-criticism. This is an invitation to honor your body—and yourself—in a way that finally feels like home.

Please note that this is not a movement or yoga-based workshop.

Investment is $25.
Yoga Spot Members receive discounted pricing of $20 at checkout.

Workshops are non-refundable and non-transferrable.

we love you, dad💙

You know what life-changing behavior we don’t talk about?

Having a good f*cking time with your friends.

Getting excited when someone walks in the room.

Rushing over to hug them, see them, hear about their life.

Having a meaningful conversation.

Not just hi, how are you, things are good.

A real one. Getting under the surface. Being genuine with another human being. Talking about the true reality—good, bad, ugly.

Being HONEST.

Realizing you’re not actually alone.

Dancing so hard your feet feel like they’re going to explode and you’re legitimately sore the next day.

Not caring about what you look like when you jump up and down like you’re 15 front row at a Jonas Brothers concert.

The sweat beads on your forehead.

The messy hair. The smudged makeup.

Belting I Wanna Dance with Somebody at the top of your lungs.

Jumping in a circle with your best friends from high school.

Things that bring a massive smile to your face.

We love to talk about this week’s hottest wellness trend.

The new diet craze.

The gym time.

I have clients all the time tell me they shouldn’t have gone to happy hour with their friends.

Or gotten that donut with their daughter.

Or went on that trip and got out of their routine.

No.

Go.

Have fun with humans.

Love people.

Have a drink.

Eat good food.

Dance even when you feel silly.

Stay up late.

Wear the dress.

Get off the chair.

Live your life.

We love fruits and vegetables. We love moving our body.

We also love fun.

We also love human connection.

We also love friendship.

We also love laughter.

Health is SO much more than one thing.

It is so much more than food and exercise.

It REALLY is. I promise you.

We can spend every waking moment obsessing over food and our bodies.

Worrying about how many steps we got in.

Analyzing our arms in photos.

Talking about how we don’t really eat carbs anymore.

Swapping “miracle” skin care routines.

OR

You can fill up your soul.

Go have some fun with people you love.

Take that trip. Go to the restaurant. Eat the donut. Say yes to the friend.

Let the perfection go.

Let me know how it feels.

Sunday, June 28th, from 11:30 am - 1:30 pm.⁣
⁣
As women, we simply think about food and our bodies WAY TOO MUCH.⁣
⁣
It takes up our time, energy, and valuable brain space.⁣
⁣
It robs us of our lives.⁣
⁣
In two hours, I’m going to teach you how to do that. I’m going to teach you to stop worrying about food and your body. To stop picking yourself apart. To stop spending your summer counting calories and steps and covering up your body.⁣
⁣
We are wearing the bathing suit.⁣
⁣
Jumping off the diving board.⁣
⁣
Swimming with our kids.⁣
⁣
Eating ice cream.⁣
⁣
AND taking care of ourselves, our bodies, and our health like you never have before.⁣
⁣
It is not loving our bodies OR our health.⁣
⁣
It’s AND.⁣
⁣
This is the best $25 you’ll spend this summer. Sign up here: https://widget.hellowalla.com/enrollments/126087?uuid=c541b18a-eba7-4660-a0fb-829eefb6f884

Our anniversary isn’t usually spent with just me and you.

It’s tackling 4 year old meltdowns.

Rushing out the door.

It’s family breakfasts and playgrounds.

It’s football camps.

It doesn’t exactly scream “romance.”

But it’s the little moments we make the most of.

In a life that isn’t always the most conventional.

I know we’ll get back to date nights and solo trips.

But these little moments now are the ones I love the most.

A chance to stroll down memory lane. To look through photos and videos. To think about who we were in that moment and how much has changed.

To welcome in an extra smile on our faces.

I loved you then, I love you today, I love you forever.

Happy Anniversary🤍

Summer’s here hallelujah✌️☀️
