In this vulnerable and powerful episode, I talk openly about my recent weight gain—and the wave of old stories it brought with it. Stories like “I’ve failed,” “There’s something wrong with me,” and “I need to fix this.” Even as an Emotional Eating Coach, I’m not immune to these thoughts—especially in perimenopause and after decades of dieting. But this time, I’m choosing a different path. No quick fixes. No shame spirals. Just curiosity, compassion, and support. If you’ve ever felt like your progress has stalled or that you’re somehow “back at square one,” this episode is a reminder that you’re not starting over—you’re going deeper.
