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.)

In this Summer Rewind episode of Stop. Dieting. Forever., I’m bringing back a client story you need to hear—Lorraine went to an all-inclusive resort and came home LIGHTER. Yes, really.

This isn’t about white-knuckling your way through vacation. It’s about learning how to show up as the version of you who already lives the lifestyle you’re working toward.

You’ll walk away from this episode with new beliefs, powerful mindset shifts, ...

This episode kicks off my brand new Stop. Dieting. Forever. Summer Rewind Series, and I’m giving it to you straight:   Summer is one of the hardest times to lose weight.

    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.

    Well, sis is back. And she's not just maintaining—she’s thriving.

    In this follow-up convo, we go way beyond the scale. We talk about what it really looks like to live in your reinvention. You’ll hear how Nisha’s navigating ...

    Ever found yourself crushing your goals all week, only to throw it all away with one “screw it” moment on Friday night? SAME. 🙋🏽‍♀️

    In this bonus episode, I share what sabotage looked like for me as a corporate consultant (hint: wine, stress, and conference snacks), why women over 40 are especially vulnerable to it, and why your weight loss journey isn’t about food—it’s about identity.

    I’m also officially inviting you to my free ...

    If you’ve been feeling puffy, tired, and like your body’s stuck in neutral, no matter how “healthy” you’re trying to be… this episode is for you. I’m dropping 3 tiny-but-mighty microhabits that will help you calm your hormones, build self-trust, and finally start feeling like yourself again.   These aren’t basic tips.

    I’m not here to bash weight loss meds. But I am here to say the quiet part out loud. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on GLP-1s like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro—and telling you what most “experts” are too scared to say.   This isn’t about judgment. I’ve been there. I’ve popped pills and prayed they’d shrink me into someone I could finally love. But here’s the deal: weight loss shots may shrink your appetite, but they...

    If you’ve ever thought, “I know what to do, but I’m just not doing it,” this episode is going to light you up.

    Sarah came to me at age 55, deep in the chaos of menopause, emotional eating, and diet burnout. She wasn’t in a program. She wasn’t “launch ready.” She just sent me an email and said: “How can I work with you?”

    We had a Tea Chat. And that one conversation? It changed everything.

    You're tracking your food. You’re hitting your protein. You’re doing “everything right.”

    So why isn’t the weight moving?

    In this bonus episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the missing piece: your mindset.
