Foodie to Freedom

In today's episode, we're talking about one of the biggest lies keeping women stuck in the weight-loss cycle: the belief that you have to do it perfectly to lose weight.

No candy. No chips. No mistakes. No "off" days. Just perfection.

And honestly? That belief is what's making everything harder.

In this episode, I break down why perfection isn't required, how all-or-nothing thinking leads to more emotional eating, and what to do instead when life feels hard and food starts to feel like emotional support.

Because lasting weight loss doesn't come from being perfect — it comes from learning how to support yourself when things aren't perfect.

What if weight loss didn't have to feel so hard… because your body was actually working with you instead of against you?

In today's episode, I'm joined by my friend and colleague, Shannon Hatch—coach and nurse—to talk about something that is changing the game for so many women: metabolic health. We're diving into why so many women feel stuck despite doing "all the right things," and how supporting your body through simple shifts like intermittent fasting and increasing fiber can make a huge difference.

We also introduce something called the Feel Great System—a simple, sustainable approach that's helping women feel better in their bodies, reduce cravings, and actually start seeing results without obsessing over food. If you've been feeling frustrated or like nothing is working anymore, this conversation might open up a completely new way of looking at your health.

Shannon brings both her medical background and coaching experience to break down the why behind all of this—what's happening in your body, why it matters, and how you can start supporting it in a way that feels doable.

A client recently told me about going to church and noticing several women who had lost weight quickly using GLP-1 medications. Even though she's been making great progress herself, she felt something unexpected come up: envy. Along with the thought, "This doesn't feel fair."

If you've ever felt frustrated watching someone else get faster results while you're doing the deeper work of changing your relationship with food, this episode is for you.

Today we're talking about why envy shows up, the belief underneath it, and how to process those feelings without turning to food for comfort.

Because the real transformation isn't just weight loss. It's learning that you can feel emotions—envy, frustration, disappointment—and still keep going.

The goal isn't to avoid uncomfortable emotions.

The goal is learning that you can feel them and not escape them with food.

You've probably had this moment before. The kids are finally in bed, your favorite show is on, and without really thinking about it, you're reaching for a snack — even though you told yourself you wouldn't tonight. Almost immediately, the guilt kicks in. Why do I keep doing this? In today's episode, we're talking about why old habits don't disappear just because you've decided to change and why repeating them doesn't mean you lack willpower. Using a powerful analogy, I'll show you how your brain is simply doing what it's been practiced doing — and how understanding this can completely change the way you approach weight loss.

Today's podcast episode is going to challenge you in the best way.

If you've ever thought, "I know what to do… so why am I still not doing it?" — this one's for you.

Most of us don't struggle because we don't know how to lose weight.

We struggle because of what we believe about ourselves.

In this episode, I break down what it actually takes to create results you've never created before — and it's not another meal plan or tracking app.

It's your thinking.

After you listen, you'll be able to:

• Spot the beliefs that have been quietly holding you back
• See how those thoughts are shaping your results
• Decide, on purpose, what you want to believe instead

Because sustainable weight loss isn't about more discipline.

It's about becoming the woman who thinks differently.

And if you want to go deeper, I'm teaching a free live class on February 27, 2026 at 11:00am MST where I'll show you exactly how LDS moms are breaking free from emotional eating — without giving up their favorite foods.

Register here.

This is where the shift starts.

In this episode, we're talking about food noise — but not in the way you usually hear about it.

If you've been told that food noise is something happening to you, something broken in your brain that only a medication can fix, this episode is here to gently (and lovingly) challenge that.

I redefine food noise in a way that puts your power back in your hands instead of making you feel like a victim of your biology.

We'll talk about:

• Why "food noise" isn't actually the enemy
• How believing you're powerless around food keeps you stuck
• The mindset shifts that quiet food noise at the root (not just the symptoms)
• How to naturally support your body's own GLP-1 production
• Why you don't need to outsource your self-trust to a drug to feel in control again

This isn't about shaming meds or telling anyone what they should do.

It's about remembering that your thoughts, emotions, habits, and relationship with food play a massive role in what you experience as "food noise" — and those are things you can actually change.

If you've ever felt like food controls you, this episode will help you see that you're not broken… you're just disconnected from your own power.

And the good news? You can get it back. 💛

In today's episode, we're talking about the truth about motivation — and why waiting to feel motivated first is keeping you stuck. I'll explain why motivation actually comes after willingness, not before, and how learning to be willing (even when you don't feel like it) is the real skill that creates momentum. You'll walk away with practical ways to increase willingness so you can take action, build consistency, and stop relying on motivation to change your life.

If you've ever felt like nothing you do is enough, or you get stuck before you even start because weight loss feels hard, overwhelming, or like some big production… this episode is for you.

Today, we're stripping away all the noise and coming back to the basics — the simple habits that actually move the needle. Things like getting enough sleep, paying attention to your hunger cues, slowing down long enough to hear what your body is asking for, and giving yourself permission to take small, doable steps.

You don't need a perfect plan or a massive overhaul. You just need the willingness to return to the fundamentals and let consistency do the heavy lifting.

If you're ready to feel grounded, clear, and capable again, hit play. The basics are where the real transformation begins.

In this episode, we're diving into something I like to call rebel eating — those moments when you find yourself elbow-deep in a bag of chips or finishing off the kids' Halloween candy, not because you're hungry, but because you're rebelling.

Maybe your diet's too damn strict.

Maybe you've made so many food rules you feel like a prisoner in your own kitchen.

Or maybe food's just been your go-to comfort for years.

Whatever it is, today we're unpacking why this happens and how you can start breaking the cycle without relying on willpower or jumping on the next "no carbs ever again" plan.

I'll walk you through what's really going on before the binge, how deprivation leads to rebellion every time, and how to check in with yourself in those moments without judgment.

Because the truth is — the biggest hurdle in weight loss isn't carbs, calories, or cardio.

It's learning how to handle your emotions without turning to food.

If you're ready to ditch the guilt and get curious about what's really driving those rebel eating moments, this episode is for you.

• Why I call binge eating rebel eating
• How restrictive diets and food rules set you up to rebel
• How to spot the real need behind your cravings
• A simple check-in you can do mid-binge (without beating yourself up)
• Why curiosity, not shame, is the key to breaking the emotional eating cycle
