Irresistible You: Lose the Emotional Weight | Body Image | Confidence | Weight Loss

I’m back from my summer break, and today we’re talking about what it really means to come out of survival mode and step into a new season of life. When you’re just trying to make it through, the world feels blurry. You don’t even notice the little things piling up around you. But once you start to shift, it’s like everything comes back into focus: the appointments you’ve been putting off, the house that suddenly needs cleaning, and...

Why does joy feel so scary? Why do we hold back when life is good, waiting for something bad to happen? In this episode, I’m sharing why joy is the most vulnerable emotion we can feel and how that fear keeps us from fully living. We’ll talk about why our brains default to “what if it all goes wrong,” how this ties into body image and weight loss, and why you don’t need a smaller body to feel joy right now.

I’m also giving you a pers...

If I wanted to gain back 70 pounds, I know exactly what I’d do because I’ve lived it. In this episode, I’m sharing the habits, behaviors, and sneaky thought patterns that kept me stuck for years…and would absolutely pack the weight back on if I let them. From zombie eating and isolating myself to living in stretchy pants and giving in to my inner fat bitch voice, we’re calling it ALL out.

If you’ve been slipping back into these patt...

In this episode of the Irresistible You podcast, we’re diving into what it means to embrace your cozy or “soft life” era, without the guilt. I used to think that doing cozy things like diamond painting or relaxing at home was lazy… or worse, that stillness would lead to weight gain. I thought if it didn’t make money or burn calories, it was a waste of time. But now I know better.

I’m sharing how I’ve started doing things that pull m...

In this special episode, I’m stepping outside our usual conversation about confidence and body image to share something deeply personal: my daughter just published her first children’s book!

And while this episode is about my daughter’s story, it’s also about us.
If you grew up in a bigger body, if you never saw yourself in media, if you spent years believing you had to shrink to be worthy, you’re going to feel this. Because the...

You’re doing the work. You’re being consistent. You know things are changing…
But then you take a photo and think, ‘I still look fat.’

Welcome to the messy middle. The part no one talks about. It’s not exciting. It’s not dramatic. It’s just hard. And boring. And where you're most likely to quit on yourself. 

In this episode, we’re getting real about:

• Why this part of the journey feels so uncomfortable
• The emotion...

If you’re only focused on shrinking your body, you’re missing the real transformation.

This episode goes beyond the scale to talk about what holds you back, and it’s not just the number.

In this episode, I’m getting into the real weight that’s keeping you stuck:

• The toxic self-talk running on autopilot
• The emotional eating you use to numb out
• The dead relationships and friendships dragging you down
• The pressure to be perfect before y...

• My thoughts on Botox, aging, and feeling cute again 💉
• Catalina wrote a book about a mermaid with Type 1 Diabetes! 

This is your cozy catch-up session with zero pressure and lots of ...

In this episode, I’m talking about what’s actually possible in six mont...

You ever lie in bed at night, thinking about all the things you're going to do tomorrow, like wake up early, eat better, clean the house, work out, be more present, but then tomorrow comes… and you're right back in survival mode? Girl, I get it! Please hear this: you're not lazy - you're at maximum capacity. In this episode, I’m getting real about the exhaustion of good intentions that never get met, the emotion...

In this episode of the Irresistible You podcast, we’re talking about the importance of finding your soul snack—something that feeds your soul so you’re not constantly turning to food for comfort. 

Since Chuy passed away, my nights have felt painfully quiet. He was my constant companion during the late-night hours when the house finally settled. That kind of loss leaves a void, but here’s the thing… I didn’t slip back into emotional ...

Ever find yourself brushing off compliments about your weight loss with a “Thanks, but…” followed by a list of why you’re not good enough yet? This episode dives into the self-sabotage behind downplaying your wins. I’m calling out the perfectionist, all-or-nothing thinking that keeps you stuck in the "never enough" cycle.

I recently said goodbye to my FURST baby, Chuy. I miss him so much, but his spirit will forever live on because he's the reason I started this podcast! He taught me so much about life. He was the greatest chapter of my life and the best adventure. This is a deeply personal episode as I share the story of how Chuy inspired Irresistible You, how we had to say goodbye after almost 16 years, and how we ALL need to start living lif...

This is your wake-up call. In this tough love episode of the Irresistible You podcast, I’m getting real about a hard truth: Nobody is coming to save you.

Not your coach. Not your partner. Not your weight loss plan. Not even your GLP-1 injections.

If you're stuck in the yo-yo diet/body hate shame cycle, waiting for someone or something to magically fix your life and your weight... this episode is for you. I’m walking you through ...

Today was a totally random episode. Just an off the cuff ranting and raving by me, as I navigate the fuckery of life. The takeaway from this episode is that no matter what you have going on, you will be OK and two things can be true at once. Life can be hard and beautiful at the same time!

I was at Medieval Times and walked past the mirror and didn't recognize myself for a minute. Even though I haven't had a huge weight loss recently, I'm down over 70 lbs and my body is constantly shifting and adjusting. It's hard to recognize this new version of you especially when you're stuck somewhere between being "fat" and not quite at your goal weight yet.  When your body goes through changes...
