The Renae Saager Show

In this episode of Ditch the Binge, Renae gets real about something we all feel but rarely talk about: the weirdness of getting older and realizing the things that used to work… just don’t anymore.

From outgrowing old identities (like being “the fit girl” or “the hustle queen”) to feeling burnout in career and creativity, Renae unpacks what it means to be in the messy middle of life. 

Whether you're questioning your job, feeling...

In this deeply personal episode of Ditch the Binge, Renae shares the unexpected moment—during mile eight of a half marathon—when she realized she no longer identifies as bulimic. After over a decade of battling food, body image, and the shame that came with it, Renae reflects on how recovery slowly, quietly took root until one day… it just wasn’t who she was anymore.

She opens up about the years of bingeing and purging, the treatmen...

This week, Renae shares what’s really been going on behind the scenes — quitting caffeine, getting kicked off Instagram, pausing her business, and questioning everything she thought she wanted.

Call it a mild midlife crisis, call it a pivot, call it whatever you want — either way, it’s real, it’s messy, and it’s happening.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a season of "What the hell am I doing with my life?" — you’re not alone. ...

In this episode, Renae shares what accidentally quitting Instagram—and very intentionally quitting caffeine—taught her about discomfort, dependency, and confidence. She explores how the smallest changes can spark a domino effect, waking you up from a life that feels “fine” but flat. If you’ve been coasting, people-pleasing, or putting off the thing you really want to do, this episode will give you the nudge you didn’t know you need...

Sarah Fisk spent decades chasing worthiness in all the wrong places—through religion, perfectionism, people pleasing, and even food. In this raw conversation, she opens up about what it was like to grow up Mormon, the pressure to perform and obey, and how her journey out of the church became the unexpected path to self-trust. If you’ve ever felt like you had to earn your value by being “the good girl,” this episode will hit hard.

In this episode of Ditch the Binge, Renae pulls back the curtain on what really happened behind the scenes of her recent “Eat Like a Confident B*tch” challenge. Spoiler: she almost quit.

From pouring her heart into a launch only to be met with silence… to obsessing over a single unsubscribe (yes, even after surpassing her sign-up goal), Renae shares the real and raw emotional rollercoaster that most people don’t talk about.

In this episode of Ditch the Binge, Renae dives into the importance of making clear and specific requests in your daily life. She emphasizes that clarity benefits both you and the person you're communicating with, preventing misunderstandings and frustrations. Renae gives clear examples on how vague instructions often lead to unmet expectations and how this applies to relationships, parenting, and even workplace dynamics.

Key p...

When you are around others, it is human nature to compare.

To check in and see what they are doing, how they are doing it, and what they are working towards and then wonder "Am I doing enough? Should I do it that way?"

But then you end up going down their path, not yours.

This is your reminder to stay committed to your own process.

Honor your own timeline.
