In this episode of Whiskey and Work, Kelsey sits down with Laura Conley — certified life and weight loss coach, speaker, and creator of The Yummy Mummy Experience — for a refreshingly honest conversation about food freedom, self-trust, and why willpower isn't the answer. Together, they explore how mindset, not macros, is the key to sustainable weight loss and why emotional freedom should be the real goal. Laura shares her journey from chronic dieter to empowered coach, offering game-changing insights on identity, control, and how to finally feel at peace around food. If you've ever felt stuck in a cycle of "starting over," or like your life is ruled by what you eat (or don't eat), this episode is your invitation to stop striving and start trusting. Get ready to rethink everything you thought you knew about weight loss, wellness, and what it means to feel good.
