Crowned Opulence

What is it about a woman being unapologetic about her dreams and her drive that people find so intimidating? Don't wilt sis, bloom with opulence anyway! Welcome to the Crowned Opulence podcast.On Sundays we have Girl Talk, we talk about the hard, messy, embarrassing, yet necessary things that we don't talk about enough with each other as black women. You know, those things that we think we're the only ones experiencing, so we don't share them for fear of being judged, just like you would at a Sunday brunch with your girls. And yes, the mimosas are included in each episode. Then on Wednesdays, we talk business and goal-crushing. I'll help you get the outcomes you desire in your life and business by showing you how to silence self-doubt, tune out the naysayers, optimize your assets, own your opulence and market your value.It's your time to be unapologetically opulent, and we're here for you!

From Thick to Fit

December 06, 2020 • Cassandra Conley • Season 1 • Episode 17

If you’ve ever struggled with your health and fitness, or maybe you’re just coming to terms with the fifteen pounds that came from “nowhere” during the COVID-19 lockdown, this episode is for you.

Queens come in all shapes and sizes. We’re not all meant to be, or want to be a size 0 but we should all cherish our beautiful bodies by caring for them with nourishing food and lots of movement.

If our health is our wealth and we are on the path to living our most opulent lives, then taking care of our health must be a priority. We as women are notorious for allowing life’s responsibilities - children and family, careers etc - take attention away from our health and self-care needs. But as the saying goes, we must put on our own oxygen mask before we help others with theirs.

On this episode of the Crowned Opulence podcast, my cousin, fitness instructor and owner of Ellavate Wellness, Ella Gambles joins us to talk about health and fitness. Ella uses her knowledge and experience to empower us to make good choices so that we can achieve our health and fitness goals.

In this episode, we discuss:

Ella’s secret weapon for overcoming cravings and overeating
The 80/20 rule for managing your diet without feeling deprived
Drinking alcohol and losing weight… possible?
Enjoying holiday feasts without going overboard
Understanding health markers like BMI in context
Differences between a crash diet and a lifestyle change
Health and fitness goal setting
The importance of accountability and community in reaching your health and fitness goals
And much, much more.
