Hey babes! Today’s episode is a replay of one of our most-loved conversations, and honestly—it deserves another listen. I’m bringing back my powerful chat with Sarah Crystal because this episode is pure gold when it comes to permanent weight loss, real mindset work, and doing the root-level healing that actually sticks.

Sarah is a clinical psychologist, a Yummy Mummy client, and someone who lost 30 pounds—and kept it off. In this episode, she shares what it really looks like to lose weight for the last time, including why tools like plastic surgery or GLP-1s can be helpful but are never the full solution on their own. This conversation is about building a life, identity, and daily practices that make weight regain unnecessary.

We talk about losing weight on vacation (yes, really), ending the deprivation mindset, creating discipline that feels freeing, and why pre-planning your food and life is an act of self-respect—not restriction. Sarah also opens up about her experience with plastic surgery after having twins, why it didn’t “fix everything,” and how doing the internal work completely changed how she feels in her body.

You’ll hear about:

• How Sarah lost 30 pounds and kept it off long-term
• Why mindset and emotional regulation are non-negotiable for permanent weight loss
• Losing weight on vacation without deprivation
• The difference between surface-level fixes and true root work
• Why plastic surgery and GLP-1s don’t solve the “why” behind weight gain
• How daily journaling, intentional planning, and self-trust change everything
• What it actually takes to feel done with food drama and body shame

If this episode lights something up in you, it’s not an accident. And if you’ve been circling this work for a while, let this replay be your sign.

Hey babes. This episode is a cozy, powerful solo chat about what it actually means to be a free mom—and how to start creating that freedom now, not someday.

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, stuck, overwhelmed, resentful, or like your life looks “fine” on the outside but feels tight and exhausting on the inside… this one is for you. We’re redefining freedom in a way that has nothing to do with bigger houses, better vacations, or external achievements—and everything to do with alignment, self-trust, and owning your time, energy, and emotions.

In this episode, we slow way down and talk about how to reflect on 2025 without shame, how to stop repeating the same patterns in 2026, and how to choose ONE area of your life to truly free yourself.

Here’s what we cover:

• What being a “free mom” actually means (and what it doesn’t)
• Why freedom is available to you right now—not after you lose weight or fix your life
• The belief you must adopt before real change can happen
• Why guilt is part of the process (and why that’s normal)
• How to audit 2025 without beating yourself up
• Where you feel the most trapped: body, time, money, marriage, parenting, or career
• How to choose ONE area to focus on in 2026 (and why that’s the fastest path to change)
• Why your biggest problems should show up on your calendar and in your investments
• How to stop abandoning yourself and start honoring your needs
• The reflection questions that prevent you from repeating the same year again

Hey loves! If your marriage feels heavy, transactional, or nothing like what you imagined when you said “I do,” this conversation is going to feel like a deep exhale.

We’re talking about how so many of us accidentally sign up for a version of marriage we never consciously agreed to — one built on assumptions, roles, resentment, and unspoken expectations. And the good news? You don’t have to burn it all down to feel free again. You can renegotiate the contract.

We walk through three powerful tools that can completely change the emotional climate of your relationship: the 6-second kiss, the Power of One, and creating a brand-new marriage contract that actually fits who you are now, not who you were when you first got together.

This isn’t about fixing your partner. It’s about reclaiming your agency, your desire, and your sense of choice — inside your relationship and inside yourself.

In this episode, we cover:

- Why so many marriages drift into resentment without anyone “doing anything wrong”

- How the 6-second kiss rewires connection, safety, and intimacy (and why it works even when things feel awkward)

- The Power of One: how changing your energy shifts the entire dynamic

- What it really means to stop waiting for your partner to change

- How to consciously rewrite your marriage contract — expectations, roles, intimacy, and emotional labor

- Why freedom inside marriage comes from choice, not control

- How this work directly impacts your nervous system, emotional eating patterns, and overall well-being

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, stuck, or quietly wondering if this is “just how it is now,” let this be your permission slip to do marriage differently — without ultimatums, threats, or self-abandonment.

And if this conversation lights something up in you and you’re ready to take this work deeper — with your relationship, your body, and your life — come hang out with me inside my programs. All the details are at lauraconley.com. You don’t have to keep living in a contract you never meant to sign.

Hey babes! This one is JUICY. Nicole and I are bringing you a full holiday intervention—Coco & Lala style. If you’re already feeling the pressure of “doing the holidays right,” this episode is your warm hug, your reality check, and your permission slip to STOP performing and start actually enjoying yourself. 💁‍♀️✨

We dive into the three big holiday questions every woman needs to ask:

1. What dreadful thing are you dropping this season?

Because newsflash: no big disaster happened because I stopped sending holiday cards. You get to drop the stuff that drains you. You get to say no. You get to stop performing for invisible judges who don’t even care. ✔️

2. What holiday dream are you adding?

Maybe it’s two full weeks off. Maybe it’s catering your annual party. Maybe it’s reading on the couch for hours with the tree lit. Let the question simmer—your dream will find you.

3. What manual (those sneaky expectations of other people!) are you burning?

Your partner, your mother-in-law, your kids—they’re going to show up how they’ve always shown up. Radical acceptance isn’t giving up… it’s giving yourself freedom.

Along the way, you’ll hear me negotiating with my hubby Brian about hiring someone to put up the Christmas tree (tradition wins… for now), Nicole’s surprisingly chill holiday philosophy, and how to avoid setting yourself up for years of self-inflicted expectations (Elf on the Shelf girlies… I’m talking to you).

This episode is your guide to a calmer, cozier, saner season—one where you drop the dread, keep the joy, and build real community around what matters most.

You’ll hear:

• Why holiday resentment is often just unspoken expectations
• How to “drop one dread” and prove nothing bad happens
• Why controlling adults literally never works (ever)
• How to be surprised—in a GOOD way—by your partner
• Why community and accountability make everything feel lighter
• How to prevent holiday chaos you’ll regret committing to for 10+ years
• Why guilt is sometimes a sign you’re taking care of yourself
• How to embrace the truth: the shoe will drop someday… so enjoy your good season NOW

Want some pure chaos in the best way? You're in the right place. Nicole and I are back with another Coco & Lala Show takeover, and we're inviting you to get a little…unhinged. 😂

Underneath all the silliness is a really important conversation: so many of us are still living by the invisible “Good Girl playbook” — the rules about how we’re supposed to look, act, mother, eat, and show up. We’re following all the rules, checking all the boxes (degree, job, husband, kids, house)…and then wondering why we still feel numb, restless, and like something is missing. 

Hit play to hear:

- Why laughing until you cry needs to be a real goal on your calendar  

- How the “Good Girl playbook” gets passed down and keeps you small (and bored)  

- Why perfection is boring, inauthentic, and totally not the vibe anymore  

- How authenticity and a little harmless chaos can actually support your weight loss journey  

- A simple challenge: choose one unhinged thing to do this week and *do it on purpose*  

- Laura’s own unhinged act (hello, first tattoo at the Yummy Mummy retreat 👀)  

- How envy can actually be a compass pointing you toward your truest desires   

If you’ve been over-scrolling, overeating, over-drinking, or over-Netflixing because your life feels a little…beige, this conversation is your reminder that you’re allowed to color outside the lines. You do not have to earn your fun, your weirdness, or your joy.   

And babe, if this hits and you’re like, “Okay, I’m ready to stop following the rules around food and my body too,” now is *the* time to jump into The Yummy Mummy Experience.  

We are in the depths of the Pink Friday Yummy Mummy Sale — the best deal Laura has EVER offered on the Yummy Mummy Experience. 🎉 Go to https://lauraconley.com/pink to:

- Get on the early access VIP list  

- Lock in the biggest savings we’ve ever done

Come get unhinged in the most delicious way: by losing weight for the last time, ditching the good girl rules, and actually letting yourself have a life you’re obsessed with.

Hey, mama! Today’s episode is the one to listen to if you’ve ever wondered, “Is the Yummy Mummy Experience actually worth $5,000—especially if I only want to lose 5–10 pounds?” Because that’s exactly where Erica started… and then she lost 22 pounds, rewired her relationship with food, boosted her confidence, and transformed her entire life in the process.

Erica opens up about what it felt like to slowly gain weight year after year, why it chipped away at her confidence, and how she realized she didn’t need more willpower—she needed tools. She even considered GLP-1 medications, but wanted to try a natural, sustainable route first.

Inside this candid, encouraging conversation, you’ll hear how she went from “There’s no way I could give up flour” to confidently navigating pizza nights, kids’ birthday parties, European bakeries, and family trips—while still losing weight. And yes… you’ll also hear about the moment her husband said it was the first real conversation they’d had in a long time. The ripple effects are real.

You’ll learn:

• Why “just” 1–2 lbs a year can snowball into not feeling like yourself
• What finally pushed Erica to invest in herself
• How she approached sugar and flour flexibly (not rigidly!)
• The surprising ease of intermittent fasting once she experimented slowly
• What it feels like to want the cupcake less instead of “white-knuckling no”
• How she navigated Europe, croissants, and hotel breakfasts—still losing weight
• The ripple effect on her marriage, her dad, and her family
• Why she now feels calm, confident, and excited about goals outside of weight

If you’ve been debating whether this investment is “worth it,” or if the Yummy Mummy Experience can actually help you lose weight for the last time—Erica’s story is going to blow your mind!!

Hey babes! Today's episode is a full-body YES because you get to hear a LIVE coaching testimonial from one of my brightest clients—Laura Rose. If you've ever thought, "Why is this so hard? I'm doing everything and nothing is changing," this conversation is going to feel like hope, relief, and a deep breath.

Laura opens up about her lifelong weight struggle, the years of tracking every calorie, lifting, walking, "doing everything right," and still watching the scale climb. She shares the moment she hit rock bottom—crying in bed to her husband, feeling like a dark cloud was hanging over her whole beautiful life—and the guilt of wanting to feel better in her body while raising daughters in a body-positive world.

And then? She joined the Yummy Mummy Experience...and it finally felt EASY.

She lost 25 pounds in under six months (while eating fries, potatoes, and rice!), slipped into size-small dresses, and stepped into a version of herself that felt energized, confident, calm, and deeply her. Now, even pregnant with baby #3, she's navigating food, cravings, and weight with trust and steadiness because the tools are in her.

Here are the top shifts you'll love in this episode:

• How cutting flour + sugar (not carbs!) turned off cravings and created instant calm
• Why losing weight without tracking anything felt like total freedom
• The mental tools she uses daily for motherhood, marriage, and life (not just food!)
• How journaling helps her stay intentional instead of living on autopilot
• What happened when pregnancy nausea knocked her off protocol—and why she didn't spiral
• The simple question that helped her finally say yes to coaching

Hey mama! This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever felt like you’re drowning in motherhood, convincing yourself “this is just how it is,” or talking yourself out of getting support because it feels indulgent, selfish, or “not necessary.” Today, Laura sits down with Raven—a mom of five, homeschooling pro, football-coach wife, online business manager, and full-on chaos navigator—to unpack one of the biggest traps moms get stuck in: believing they’re not allowed to want more.

This conversation is raw, hilarious, emotional, and honestly… healing. Raven brings the exact thoughts so many moms are silently living with: I don’t have a choice. I can’t spend money on myself. My chaos is just who I am. Other women can thrive, but not me. And Laura—through coaching, compassion, and a whole lot of truth bombs—helps her see what’s actually going on underneath that guilt.

You’re going to hear the exact mindset patterns keeping moms stuck in survival mode—and how to finally step into a version of life that feels peaceful, fun, intentional, and yes… free.

Inside this episode:

• The mental gymnastics moms do when spending money on themselves
• Why investments in our emotional wellbeing feel “indulgent” (spoiler: conditioning)
• The “Chad Filter” and how men make decisions without the guilt spiral
• Why chaos can feel familiar—and why our brains cling to it
• The difference between discomfort that keeps you stuck vs discomfort that leads to growth
• How motherhood martyrdom gets passed from generation to generation
• What it actually means to model joy, freedom, and fun for your kids
• How your energy affects your business, your family, and your ability to thrive
• The real fear behind joining Free the Moms (and why it’s totally normal)

If you’ve ever scrolled a sales page 12 times, gone back and forth for days, or felt that gut pull toward something that could help you—only to talk yourself out of it—this episode will feel like taking a breath you didn’t know you were holding.

Hey, mama! If you've ever felt trapped in the binge–restrict cycle—being “good” all week only to find yourself raiding the pantry by Friday night—this episode is going to set you free. I’m joined by my friend and fellow coach, Amber Abila, who shares her powerful story of overcoming binge eating and how dieting actually creates the very problem we’re trying to fix.

Together, we unpack why calorie counting and over-restriction lead to overeating, how to rewire your brain to end bingeing for good, and what healthy restriction really looks like (because yes, there’s such a thing!). You’ll walk away with a new understanding of what’s happening in your brain and how to step into real food freedom—without the guilt, shame, or “start-again-Monday” mindset.

We cover:

• The difference between binge eating and overeating (and why both start with restriction)
• Why dieting and calorie counting backfire—and what to do instead
• How to recognize “mental restriction” even when you’re eating enough
• What healthy, loving boundaries with food look like
• How to sit with urges and break the binge habit for good
• Why intuitive eating alone might not be the full answer
• What real recovery and food freedom can look like long-term

Hey, babes! This episode is extra special because it’s a peek inside a real live coaching call from inside the Free The Moms membership. You’ll hear me coach moms through all the messy, beautiful parts of life—setting boundaries, managing worry, staying calm when things get hectic (or when there are cookies everywhere 😅), and finding peace in the chaos.

We start with a grounding practice to come back to the body, followed by powerful coaching moments on:

• Turning worrying as a habit into calm presence
• Creating boundaries that buy you peace (and actually holding them!)
• What to do when other people’s emotions trigger yours
• How to stay in self-love even when habit change feels “messy”
• Shifting from resistance into radical acceptance

You’ll also hear me share quotes from Brianna Wiest and Glennon Doyle that will hit you right in the heart—especially if you’ve ever struggled with mom guilt or felt like you’re disappearing for your family. This is your permission slip to stop being a martyr and start being a model. 💕
