Many people struggle with accountability, and understanding more about how it works provides you with another tool you can use to help you achieve your goals. In this episode, Claire breaks down the different types of accountability and which type research says is the best for making progress on the things that matter to you.

There are two frameworks we discuss: Gretchen Rubin's Four Tendencies framework and the accountability theory framework. Claire also shares the questions you should ask yourself to determine if external accountability will unlock sustainable health habits for you.

Studies show that 80% (yes... you read that correctly) of New Year's resolutions fail. Why is this? We know that resolutions are set with good intentions and that we don't set out planning to leave our goals behind.

Just because New Year's resolutions haven’t worked before doesn’t mean we have to give up on setting goals entirely. It just means we need to approach them in a different way. Whether you're crafting your New Year's resolutions or setting goals in general, this podcast episode is for you.

In this episode, Claire shares the common mistakes she's seen women make when setting goals and how to avoid them.

The first thing that comes to mind when you think of health-promoting behaviors may be nutrition and exercise. And while those things matter, there is more to health than nutrition and exercise. In fact, there is more to "health" than an individual's health behaviors.

In this episode, Claire explores the concepts of health and healthism and explains why nutrition is more than food and fitness. Claire also breaks down the Flourish Pillars of Health, a framework for health behaviors we use inside the Flourish membership.

With the significant rise in video conferencing that accompanied the COVID-19 pandemic we also saw an increase in the amount of time we spend looking at ourselves on camera.

Maybe you've experienced hours upon hours of watching your facial expressions, feeling weird eating on camera, and maybe having a new source of body image stress. For others, maybe being on Zoom lets you think less about your appearance and the return to in-person is aggravating your body image anxieties. Both of these experiences have been documented in the research.

In this episode, Claire shares research on the effects of Zoom on body image and seven tips to combat the negative effects video calls may be having on you.
