Have you ever felt like parenting is way harder than it should be? Like no matter how many bedtime stories you read or how often you try to stay calm, the meltdowns and mom guilt just don’t quit? This week’s episode is your permission slip to stop white-knuckling it and start seeing parenting for what it really is: a skill you can learn.

I’m joined by my dear friend and client Dr. Sarah Crystal, clinical psychologist turned parent coach, and she’s here to blow your mind with the truth that parenting isn’t something you’re supposed to just know how to do. We talk about how this shift in mindset changes everything—from how we show up with our kids to how often we find ourselves in the pantry stress-eating ice cream.

Dr. Sarah breaks down her Behavior Needs Pyramid and gives you the tools to decode what’s really going on underneath the tantrums (hint: it’s probably not about the popsicle). This one is packed with golden nuggets for every mom who’s felt like they’re “doing it wrong” and wondered why it’s all so hard. Plus, we’re diving deep into how nervous system regulation, validation, and even sugar affect your kid’s behavior—and your own emotional eating.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

    •    Why parenting is a learned skill (not something you're born knowing how to do)

    •    What’s really going on under your kid’s behavior—and how to decode it

    •    How unmet needs lead to meltdowns (in kids and moms!)

    •    Why taking care of yourself is the most important parenting strategy of all

    •    How to talk about food with your kids in a way that’s empowering, not damaging

    •    Why setting boundaries isn’t control—it’s love

This one is for every mama who wants to stop guessing and start parenting with purpose—and YES, it’s so tied into your weight loss journey. Because when you’re depleted, dysregulated, and drowning in guilt, that pantry looks really good. Let’s fix it from the root.

Hey mama—ever find yourself elbow-deep in snacks, not because you're hungry, but because something just hurts?

This week on the pod, we’re exploring the sneaky connection between grief and emotional eating with grief expert and life coach Krista St. Germain. Whether you’ve lost a loved one or a version of your life that never came to be, grief can quietly shape your habits with food and your relationship to your body.

Krista shares her own powerful story of loss and how she turned pain into purpose—helping women process grief without getting stuck in it. We bust myths about the five stages, talk about the long tail of secondary losses, and get honest about why our culture kind of sucks at making space for sadness.

And of course, we get practical. You’ll learn somatic tools that actually work to regulate your nervous system without raiding the pantry.

If you’ve ever felt like your hunger wasn’t really about food—this one’s for you.

You’ll learn:

    •    Why the five stages of grief are outdated (and what actually helps)

    •    How unprocessed grief drives emotional eating

    •    Somatic tools to regulate your nervous system without using food

    •    What post-traumatic growth really means (and how to start creating it)

    •    The difference between “moving on” and “moving forward”

    •    How grief shows up in your body—even years later

    •    Why noticing your patterns is something to celebrate, not shame

Hey mama—are you stressed? Like, REALLY stressed? And doing everything you're supposed to without any results? Then this one's for you.

In this week’s show, Laura sits down with Kama, a Yummy Mummy alum who traded constant overwhelm and stress-eating for confidence, calm, and radical self-love.

Kama is a full-time financial advisor, wife, and mom of two who spent years doing “all the right things”—macro tracking, 60-hour work weeks, constant workouts—but still felt stuck in a cycle of weight loss and regain. In this heartfelt and honest conversation, she shares how the Yummy Mummy Experience helped her finally break free.

You’ll hear how she went from waking up dreading the day to becoming the calmest, kindest version of herself (yes, even at pizza parties). And if you’ve ever hated journaling? Kama was there too—but now it’s her secret weapon. This episode is full of mic-drop moments, including a powerful story about a number on a scale, a comment from her husband, and a self-love response that’ll shift your whole perspective.

Listen in to hear:

- The difference between *hard* work and *heavy* work (and why one fuels you and the other drains you)

- Why journaling worked for Kama—even as a busy, skeptical mom

- The real reason willpower and macro counting never gave her lasting results

- How the Yummy Mummy method helped her drop 30+ pounds and love who she sees in the mirror

- Why it’s not about food being the focus anymore—and how that creates real freedom

- How investing in herself (yes, even financially!) gave her the ROI of a lifetime

- How Kama’s calm has rippled through her whole family—and what she’s teaching her kids now

If you’ve ever wondered whether true change is possible while living a full, busy life—this episode is your proof.

Hey mama! What if organizing your pantry, your calendar, or even your thoughts could actually help you lose weight for the last time? In today’s episode, I’m joined by my dear friend and longtime professional organizer/life coach Tracy Hoth, and we are talking about how to declutter everything—from your junk drawer to your brain—and why it makes a huge difference in your weight loss journey.

Tracy introduces her simple and effective 5-step SPASM framework (I know, unforgettable, right?!) that you can use to organize anything:your closet, your to-do list, even your chaotic schedule. We talk about what clutter is really costing you, how to make space for what you truly want, and how a more peaceful environment leads to more peaceful and living—inside AND out. We even get into the coaching mindset behind emotional attachments to stuff, how to teach your kids to clean without drama, and why it’s actually okay to throw away things even if someone’s feelings might be hurt.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• The 5 steps of the SPASM framework: Sort, Purge, Assign homes, Set limits, Maintain
• Why clutter is often linked to emotional weight—and how to release both
• How to organize your mind using the 4 D’s: Delay, Delete, Delegate, Do
• Easy ways to teach kids to clean up
• What organizing your space can teach you about managing your time, energy, and self-worth

If you've ever followed a plan to the letter and still felt stuck, this episode is for you. Today I’m sitting down with confidence coach and podcast host Jess Burgio to unpack what’s really standing in the way of getting what you really want, and surprise, it’s not about food or fitness. It’s about reconnecting to your voice, your truth, and the life you dream of.

Jess shares her journey from burnt-out beauty entrepreneur to badass coach helping women stop performing and start living authentically. She and I talk about how confidence is built in the messiness of everyday life, not in a perfect plan or number on the scale.

This is the episode that gives you permission to change everything, even if that means disappointing others. You’ll learn why alignment matters more than perfection, how to spot when you’re out of it, and what baby steps you can take to reclaim your power (and your body).

Tune in to hear:

• Why confidence and weight loss are more about truth than control
• How Jess rebuilt her life (and her business) after walking away from a "perfect" path
• What to do when your life no longer feels like yours
• How to stop outsourcing your decisions and listen to your inner voice
• The most powerful way to say what you really mean, without burning it all down

Jess also dishes on her own podcasting journey, the gifts of midlife evolution, and how she’s modeling freedom and authenticity for her son. If you’re ready to stop starting over and finally feel like yourself again, this one’s a must.

You don’t want to miss this one—Dr. Tiffany Moon (yes, the former Real Housewife of Dallas) is here and she’s dropping wisdom and tea. 🔥

In this powerful episode, Laura sits down with Tiffany to unpack what happens when you “have it all” on paper—degrees, accolades, the dream career—and still feel empty inside. Tiffany opens up about her childhood, her relentless pursuit of success, and the exact moment she realized joy wasn’t something she could achieve... it had to be created.

They talk about:

• What climbing the mountain of success really feels like at the top
• The moment Tiffany knew she had to rewrite her life (hint: it involved a lonely hotel room and a lot of tears)
• Why true joy can’t be outsourced—and what to do when you realize you’ve been chasing the wrong finish line
• The burnout trap high-achieving women fall into (and how to get out)
• What it means to go on a “joy journey” and how to start yours today

Tiffany also shares behind-the-scenes stories of recording her audiobook (spoiler: yes, she had to audition to read her own words), why she watches Netflix on 1.25x speed, and how a Happy Meal became her childhood symbol of success.

This is an episode for every mom, every high-achiever, and anyone wondering, “Is this really it?” It’s vulnerable, hilarious, and SO relatable.

Here’s what you’ll hear:

This episode is everything. I'm chatting with my amazing client Megan, who just wrapped her time in the Yummy Mummy Experience—and let me tell you, she is the *walking proof* that this work works.

Megan came into the program while studying for her intense architecture licensure exams, convinced she didn’t have time to focus on weight loss. But spoiler alert: she ended up passing two exams *and* losing 40 pounds in 6 months—without hunger, food drama, or restriction.

We dive into how Megan broke the cycle of binge eating and emotional shame, finally ditched the “all or nothing” mindset, and started waking up actually *excited* for her day. She shares the moment she realized food didn’t have to control her life anymore, why journaling (yes, journaling!) changed everything, and how the Yummy Mummy tools helped her feel calm, confident, and genuinely free.

Plus, she opens up about what it’s like doing the program without being a mom, why now *is* the time to lose weight (even when life is busy), and how she enjoyed a full-on Italian vacation—without gaining a single pound. This convo is full of truth bombs, inspiration, and the kind of perspective shift that can change your whole outlook.

Here’s what you’ll hear:

- Why you *don’t* need to be a mom to thrive in Yummy Mummy

- How Megan passed two huge exams while losing 40 pounds (with zero stress migraines!)

- The easiest way to lose weight (no, really)

- What it looks like to actually enjoy your food—and your life

- The mindset shift that made her weight loss inevitable

- Why journaling became her daily dose of calm and clarity

Oh, and don’t miss the end where Megan talks about seeing engagement photos she actually *loves*—not because she hit a goal weight, but because she feels good in her skin. 💖
