This episode isn’t about weight loss.

It’s about why getting fit threatens people at an identity level.

Nicole sits down with Dr. Anne Lewis to unpack why fitness creates resistance, defensiveness, and uncomfortable conversations.

Because fitness isn’t a look.
It’s capacity.

It exposes follow-through, self-trust, regulation, and boundaries.
It removes self-deception fast.
And it forces change people say they want, until it costs them something.

In this episode, we break down:

• Why skinny isn’t the same as capable

• How fitness reveals patterns therapy often can’t

• Why many emotional struggles are nervous system issues, not personality flaws

• How “fit privilege” keeps the conversation moral instead of practical

• Why people quit right before things start working

• How fitness changes presence, relationships, and how people respond to you

This isn’t about superiority.
It’s about honesty.

If getting fit would force you to change how you live,
what would you lose?

You know the part of your story you skip when you tell it out loud?
That’s this episode.

Anne and I stopped being “Coach” and “Doctor” and talked about the stuff we usually keep off the table.

The bad decisions.
The shame.
The nights we were sure we’d screwed up our lives.
The “who do you think you are” thoughts that still show up even now.

If your brain loves to tell you you’re behind, unqualified, or one wrong move away from being exposed, this will feel uncomfortably familiar.

This is not motivational.
It’s honest.
And you might realize you’re a lot more normal than you think.

This episode might sting a bit — and if it does, you’re in the right place. Today Jules and I break down the real difference between women who lose the weight and women who stay stuck replaying the same year on repeat.

We’re talking identity, ownership, mindset, and why food feels like it controls you even though you’re doing everything “right.”
You’ll hear why structure isn’t restriction, why the Reset exists, why boredom isn’t the real problem, and what successful women do differently every single day.

If you’ve been frustrated, confused, or convinced your body is “just not responding,” this episode will show you exactly what’s been missing — and what shifts when you finally stop defending old habits and start getting curious.

For the first time, Dr. Anne and I sat down in person—and wow, you can feel the difference.

This episode is straight from the heart (and maybe a little from the gut). We’re answering the questions you’d never ask out loud but think about every damn day. Why your motivation tanked. Why your body feels like it’s working against you. Why you keep turning to food, wine, or distraction when you swore you were done doing that.

We talk about what’s really happening in your hormones, your nervous system, and your head—and how to stop feeling like you’re white-knuckling your way through it all.

It’s honest, relatable, and probably the most real conversation we’ve had yet.

If you’ve ever walked out of a doctor’s office being told “everything looks normal” while feeling anything but normal—this episode is for you.

Nicole sits down with Amanda McCallum, NP—a women’s hormone specialist who’s on the frontlines of helping women navigate perimenopause, menopause, and everything in between. Together, they’re calling out the medical gaslighting that’s become far too common and breaking down what real support in midlife looks like.

From SSRIs being handed out like candy to doctors still quoting outdated HRT studies, this conversation exposes why so many women are being dismissed—and what you can do to advocate for yourself.
Amanda shares exactly how to find a provider who knows how to optimize hormones (not just read labs), what questions to ask in your next appointment, and how to know when your symptoms are more than “just stress.”

If you’ve been told your labs are normal but you feel anything but, tune in—because you deserve answers, not excuses.

In this episode, Nicole and Dr. Anne unpack the not-so-sexy side of fat loss: why progress often feels uncomfortable, how to know if your plan is misaligned or just challenging in the right ways, and what it really means to rewire habits instead of restricting your life.

They’ll break down:

• The difference between discomfort that signals growth vs. misalignment that signals burnout

• How to tell if your strategy is working even when it doesn’t feel “good” yet

• Why identity-based habits — not motivation — are the real key to consistency

• And how tiny, 1% weekly wins compound into lasting results

If you’ve ever found yourself saying “I know what to do, I just can’t stay consistent,” this episode will hit home. Because the truth is, your body isn’t broken — it’s just been conditioned to crave comfort. And comfort is the cage keeping you stuck.

It’s time to get honest about what real change feels like — and why the right kind of discomfort might be the best sign you’re finally on the right track.

You can have the career, the family, the picture-perfect life — and still look in the mirror wondering, “What happened to me?”

You’re not alone. And you’re definitely not broken.

In this episode, Nicole and Dr. Anne break down why so many women lose confidence in their bodies during perimenopause and menopause — and how to get it back using real science, not surface-level advice.

You’ll learn:
• How hormone shifts (especially estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone) literally change the way your brain thinks, feels, and sees your body.
• Why confidence isn’t a feeling — it’s chemistry.
• The neuroscience behind that “stranger in your own body” feeling, and how to rewire your brain to feel strong and connected again.
• How dopamine helps rebuild self-trust, and why small daily wins matter more than big goals.
• How nutrition, sleep, and movement tell your brain you’re safe — unlocking calm, confidence, and motivation.
• The role of hormone therapy in not just balancing the body, but supporting mood and cognition.

This isn’t about finding motivation or faking positivity — it’s about understanding your brain, your hormones, and building real, lasting confidence from the inside out.

Weight loss after obsessive dieting is one of the trickiest, most loaded conversations you can have with yourself. On one hand—you want to feel healthier, stronger, maybe drop a little weight. On the other—you’re terrified of slipping back into obsessive tracking, calorie counting, or that old all-or-nothing mindset that stole years from you.

In this episode, Dr. Anne and I are breaking down the 3 biggest concerns women face when approaching weight loss in recovery—fear of relapse, obsessive thought patterns, and confusion around tracking progress safely. Then I’ll give you 3 practical, life-giving strategies to help you move forward with freedom:

• Gentle ways to track food without spiraling into numbers.

• Tools to redirect obsessive thoughts and set healthy boundaries.

• Non-scale victories that keep your progress rooted in strength, energy, and self-respect.

If you’ve ever thought, “I want to change my body, but I refuse to go back to the prison of obsession,” this episode is your roadmap. Recovery doesn’t mean you stop caring about your health—it means you learn how to pursue it without losing yourself in the process.

This week, Anne and I are flipping the script—it’s not about what we think you need to hear. It’s about what you asked.

We’re answering real questions sent in by women in the BecomingHER community, covering everything from:

• How to explain menopause struggles to a partner who doesn’t get it

• Staying consistent when life feels like a 60-hour work week and a full-time caretaker gig

• Whether lifting heavy at 50 will make you strong or “bulky” (spoiler: strong wins)

• Protein struggles and why chicken and eggs aren’t the only way

• Fears around hormone replacement and what the science actually says

Expect straight answers, science broken down simply, and plenty of truth-telling about what’s holding you back and how to move forward.

This episode will feel like you’re sitting across the table with us coffee in hand, no question off-limits.

Most women think they need more discipline, a better plan, or the “perfect week” to finally lose weight.

What they really need?
A new identity.

In this episode, Nicole and Dr. Anne unpack the science behind how your brain believes what it repeats, not what’s true. From subconscious programming to stored emotions in the body, we’ll break down why your thoughts matter more than your macros — and how negative self-talk can sabotage your fat loss efforts even when you’re doing everything “right.”

This isn’t woo. It’s neuroscience.
And it’s the missing piece keeping so many women stuck.
