If you’ve ever looked down and realized you devoured your entire meal without tasting it… or found yourself uncomfortably full before your brain even caught up—this episode is for you.
✅ Key Topics We Cover:
Why slowing down matters: It’s not just about eating less—it’s about enjoying more.
How rushing through meals overrides your body’s fullness cues
A powerful client exercise to rewire your relationship with your favorite "trigger foods"

Most people don’t think eating slower will change much. But in this episode, Kara shows how being intentional with just one bite at a time can totally transform your eating experience—and how you feel in your body.
She walks you through a powerful exercise she uses with her clients that helps them finally stop overeating without tracking, restricting, or cutting out their favorite foods.
Slowing down isn’t about deprivation—it’s about reconnecting to what your body actually needs and learning to stop when you’ve had enough, not when your plate is empty.

July 11, 2025186. How to Know When to Eat (and When to Stop)
Ever find yourself standing in front of the fridge thinking, “Why am I even here? I just ate…”?
In this episode, Kara dives into the often overlooked skill of tuning into your hunger and fullness cues. Most of us were never taught how to recognize real hunger or know when we've had enough—and it’s time to change that.
Learn how to stop eating on autopilot, reconnect with your body’s signals, and eat in a way that actually supports your weight loss goals—without guilt, stress, or rigid rules.
🔑 Key Points Covered:
What real hunger feels like (and what it doesn’t):
Why stomach growling isn’t the only indicator, and how many of us confuse habit, schedule, or emotion for hunger.
The truth about fullness:
You don’t have to wait until you're stuffed or your plate is empty to stop eating. Kara explains how to recognize when you've had enough.
Why we lose touch with our cues:
From childhood habits to emotional triggers and diet culture, many of us unlearn the body’s signals—and Kara helps you relearn them.
Baby wisdom analogy:
Babies are born knowing when they’re hungry or full. Kara uses this analogy to help listeners reclaim that natural trust in their body.
Simple, doable strategies to reconnect with your body:
Tools like halfway check-ins, slowing down, and carrying a “purse snack” are just some of the practical methods shared.
Real client wins & mindset shifts:
Kara shares how her clients went from overeating out of fear or habit to feeling calm, in control, and confident in their food choices.

May 23, 2025179. Overcoming Food Guilt: Learning to Love What You Eat
Do you ever feel guilty after eating something “off plan”?
You're not alone—and you're not failing.
In this powerful episode, Kara Hackleman, Certified Life & Weight Loss Coach, tackles one of the most common and damaging obstacles to sustainable progress: food guilt.
She unpacks where food guilt comes from, how it disrupts weight loss, and why letting go of guilt is often the missing piece to long-term success. Kara shares client stories, mindset shifts, and practical tips that will help you enjoy food again—without the shame spiral.
🧠 Key Takeaways from This Episode:
Food Guilt Isn’t a Strategy:
Most of us were raised with “good” and “bad” food rules that still affect how we eat today. Kara explains how these old beliefs cause guilt, restriction, and binge cycles—and how to break free.
All Foods Can Fit:
There's no such thing as a bad food. Food either nourishes your body or satisfies a craving, and both have a place. You can include foods you love without sabotaging your progress.
The Shame Spiral Keeps You Stuck:
When you eat something off plan and feel guilty, it often leads to a “why bother” mentality. Kara shows how to shift out of all-or-nothing thinking and treat every meal as a fresh start.
Real Client Wins:
Hear the story of a client who went from relying on meal replacements and DoorDash to discovering she actually loves cooking—and lost 20+ pounds without rigid restrictions or shame.
Mindset Reframes that Work:
Kara teaches how to handle detours, enjoy the occasional treat without spiraling, and reframe FOMO so it doesn’t sabotage your goals.
Freedom Over Fear:
You can enjoy food, lose weight, and feel proud of how you eat. It’s not about starting over every Monday—it’s about building trust with yourself.

💬 Episode Quote for Sharing:
“If you restrict the foods you love, you never learn how to have them. That’s why they always feel dangerous. Learning to enjoy food without guilt is what makes sustainable weight loss possible.” — Kara Hackleman

Food guilt doesn’t have to follow you through your weight loss journey.
With awareness, support, and the right mindset tools, you can stop the cycle and build a relationship with food that feels normal, doable, and freeing.
Tune in, take notes, and take one step closer to the food freedom you deserve.
