The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, discussing wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let’s dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. I had the pleasure of talking to NLP Practitioner Suzanne Culberg. Suzanne focuses on helping over-givers and people pleasers learn to say “no” without feeling rude. During this episode, she explains how NLP works and the tools needed to create new neuropathways to make changing habits feel easier and last longer. She talks to us about our language and how a simple shift can significantly impact our results. Suzanne provides some great direction on how to create long-term success when you are ready to make fundamental changes. Tune in today to learn more about NLP and walk away with tips to be successful in positive change.IN THIS EPISODE:●   [7:19] How did Suzanne get from dieting at four years old to teaching NLP?●   [12:37] What is NLP, and how does it work?●   [20:17] What happens with new year's resolutions not following through? ●   [24:10] How does NLP shift the unconscious? ●   [29:15] How do we learn about the “word allergies” that activate us?●   [35:34] How do we start using NLP with food struggles?  ●   [40:58] What are a few things that people can start with? ●   [45:26] How do people shift from judgment to observation?●   [48:26] How can people build the muscle of saying “no”? ●   [51:28] How does someone find an NLP practitioner?KEY TAKEAWAYS:●   Loss is associated with fear, so NLP uses the term “released” weight. If you say I want to lose weight, your subconscious doesn't feel safe and may not let go of the weight.●   It's the decision that you make time and time again. When you make the initial change, it will feel like so much work. The goal is to create a new neural pathway of doing things; the more you use the new habit, the easier it will get. You are doing this for the long term!●   NLP is right for the person who is ready for the long-term game. It is right for the person who is done dieting and who wants to make a deep change. Not the person who wants the quick fix or is just trying to get into the dress for an event. Take baby steps to make the changes, and stop the all-or-nothing mindset. QUOTES: “That’s basically what NLP does; it basically looks at what programs you have been running that aren't servingyou and how we can install programs that are aligned and get you where you want to go, but also that are aligned with you.” - Suzanne Culberg“I think that's a big piece whether it’s that brutal honesty with a coach or ourselves because that's where the transformation starts, I think, in a lot of ways.” - Jenn Trepeck“What is it that you're trying to create? What part of you wants this? And when you attach to that, it doesn't matter what day it is on the calendar.” - Suzanne Culberg“Transformation doesn't come from what you do when you are motivated; it comes from what you do when you can’t be asked.” - Suzanne Culberg“We’re used to “doing” as taking action, but the doing doesn't actually change anything if your thoughts aren’t on board.” - Suzanne CulbergRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn’s Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramGUEST RESOURCES: Suzanne Culberg's WebsiteSuzanne Culberg’s FacebookSuzanne Culberg’s InstagramGUEST BIO:Suzanne Culberg is an international mindset coach who transforms bodies and minds.
