What if I told you the real reason you keep failing at weight loss has nothing to do with food, hormones, or willpower?

In this episode, I’m sharing the simple-but-powerful activity I use with my clients. This little exercise flips weight loss from punishment into freedom. It’s the anchor that keeps you going, even on days when you’re soooo not motivated.

When you find your Core Why, you stop p...

The weight loss world is changing—and fast. If you’ve been dieting for years and still feel stuck, this episode is going to open your eyes.

The key difference between women who finally break free and those who stay stuck on the diet rollercoaster isn’t what they eat, how they move, or even which tool they use to lose weight. 

In this episode, I’m breaking down what it really takes to become the woman who loses the weight and keeps...

If you’ve been trying to “think” your way to weight loss while your body is in fight-or-flight, you’re working against biology. In this episode, I’m joined by nervous system and subconscious rewire coach, Colleen Faltot, to show you how to calm your body so fat loss finally feels doable, especially if you’re 40+ and done with white-knuckling.

We talk about what “safety” really means for a woman over 40, why your cravings aren’t mor...

If you’ve been eating less, watching your portions, and being “good”... but the scale won’t budge, this episode is for you.

I’m sharing why eating less can actually stall weight loss after 40 and what to do instead to break through a plateau.

Most women think discipline is the answer. The truth? It’s not just about the food on your plate—it’s about your weight identity, the deep beliefs you have about your body, and how you think w...

Eleven years ago, I lost 30 pounds. But here’s the real flex: I’ve kept it off ever since. 

 

This episode isn’t about some quick fix or “before-and-after” photo. It’s about the after the after. What happens when the diet ends, the weight is gone, and life throws you curveballs—like hormones, perimenopause, entrepreneurship, marriage, and stress?

 

I’m breaking down exactly what I did in 2014 to lose the weight, and more important...

Everyone’s talking about Serena Williams and GLP-1s. The headlines are everywhere, the comments are heated, and social media can’t stop buzzing.

But here’s the thing: almost everybody is missing the real conversation.

In this episode of Stop. Dieting. Forever., I share my take on Serena, GLP-1s, and the bigger questions no one else is asking about weight loss.

If you’ve ever wondered why weight loss feels harder than it should, or ...

Today’s episode? It’s not just a mic-drop—it’s a soul shake.

We’re wrapping up the Self-Sabotage Series by cracking open the one pattern that’s been quietly running your life: emotional eating.

You say you want to lose weight. You say you want more energy. But if you're stuffing stress with Cheetos and chasing the news with wine, your brain’s in self-protection mode—not sabotage. Wild, right?

In this episode, I’m giving you the rea...

Let me say this louder for the women in the back: you cannot lose weight if you're stressed out. Period.

You’re eating clean, lifting weights, hitting your protein goals—and still, the scale won’t budge. You feel like you're doing everything right, but your body’s stuck in survival mode and holding onto fat for dear life.

In this episode, I break down what’s really going on in your body when you're stressed—and how chronic cortisol...

What if your cravings weren’t the enemy? What if you could keep cookies in the house, buy chocolate for the kids, and walk past the snack aisle like the emotionally regulated queen you are?

In this episode of Stop. Dieting. Forever., I’m flipping the script on “sugar addiction” and revealing what’s really going on when you feel like you can’t stop eating sweets. (Hint: it’s not the cookies—it’s the capacity.)

    You know I love a full-circle moment, and today’s episode is exactly that. Remember my client Nisha from Episode 54? She hit her forever weight of 154 pounds without dieting, calorie counting, or giving up wine.

      Cardiac Cowboys

      The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
