Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to those friends celebrating this week! 

My intention for this week was actually a completely different episode, but this is what came out... 

A little behind-the-scenes of my life recently, the waves of emotion that continue to come (and continue to not be a problem), and how I'm going into my first Christmas without my son at a solo mountain retreat. 

It's ok if you've come to the end of the year and you thought life was going to look a little different than it does right now. 

You can grieve, make peace, and get so fired up to make 2025 a year of total transformation!

Believing you can do something you’ve never done is the #1 skill you need to achieve ANY goal. 

This is also the HARDEST PART - to believe first before you have “evidence.” 

Your brain is trying desperately to keep you safe = avoiding the pain of negative emotions. 

Things like: disappointment, regret, rejection, fear, etc. 

I’ll help you grow your belief in yourself and belief that it’s inevitable you hit your goal, but it’s ok that your belief waivers. It’s ok that you don’t have 100% belief all the time. 

This is why you hire me - so that when your belief waivers, you can borrow mine, because I have 100% belief in you. 

Ready to make 2025 the year you finally lose the weight FOR GOOD?

It's hard to fully express how amazing life is now that there's no mind drama around food and exercise! 

Not only have I completely STOPPED BINGEING, but I've also... 

Join me for this week's episode where I take you behind the scenes of the journey OUT of Diet Hell and into an easy, calm relationship with food and body. 

Want to make this your reality, too? 

Schedule your free consultation at www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule to learn more about how I can help you create the life and body YOU crave. 

Earlier this year I realized I haven't binged in over 5 years now! 

It's something I never really stopped to think about, but is so HUGE because of where I was for so long. 

This first episode of the series walks you through what life looked like during my 12 years of binging, because the habit has evolved over time. 

And next week I'll share what life looks like NOW - where there's so much peace and ease around food and exercise, and I'm no longer trapped in the Restrict-Binge-Regret Cycle. 

Keep listening for more. 

And when you're ready to heal your binge eating or emotional eating once and for all, I can help.

Food is often a key part of holiday celebrations, and other people have desires and expectations about what or how much you "should" be eating. 

Some people are food offerers - they simply want to make sure you're happy and enjoying yourself. 

Then you have food pushers - these people tend to push food / drinks on you and there's a lot of pressure to eat and typically a lot of guilt (or other negative emotions) if you say 'no.' 

Keep listening as I explain how to handle the extra food, drinks, and people this time of year.

One of the biggest challenges with the diet industry is that they only teach you how to lose weight in a vacuum. 

Don't go out to eat, no travel, no vacations, no holidays or special occasions. 

It's this constant push to restrict. 

But in the process of trying to make it easier to restrict, you stop living life. 

So when the holidays roll around, and you don't want to miss out on all the good times, you think "screw it, I'll start over in January." 

But that only keeps you stuck in the Restrict-Binge-Regret cycle of doom. 

It's time to break the pattern. 

Keep listening as I break down all the reasons as to why the holidays can feel harder when it comes to food and weight loss.

Grief isn't just the loss of life, it's the loss of a dynamic, which is why it's essential to learn how to process through grief when going through a divorce or breakup. 

Join me for this third and final installment of our grief series to learn better ways of navigating grief in divorce and breakups. 

If you'd like to have me as your personal coach to help navigate difficult seasons like this, the next best step is to schedule your free consultation at www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule. 

And don't forget... 

You can do hard things. 

In this second episode on the topic of moving through grief and loss, I'm talking specifically about the loss of life and grieving someone who's died. 

There's no right or wrong way to process through grief and all the subsequent emotions, but the #1 most important step is to allow yourself to feel it all.

All the emotions, as long as it takes. 

Don't fight it, don't resist it. 

And I'm walking you through my specific process today and sharing how I dealt with a really big loss this year. 

If you're struggling with grief and losing a loved one, I'd love to help. 

Schedule a free consultation at www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule to explore if having me as your coach is the right fit for you. 

I’m sure most of us have heard of the 5 stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance)

But that doesn't do the topic justice.

You might experience these emotions as you process through grief; however, I want to emphasize that it’s NOT a linear path. 

I think of grief as waves of the ocean, which encompass more like a dozen emotions at once. 

And nothing has gone wrong. 

Whether you've experienced grief recently, or are walking with a friend / family member as they navigate grief, this is an essential podcast. 

And if you'd like some help navigating this current and next phase of life, without turning to food, alcohol, or jumping quickly into a new relationship, I'd love to help. 

Schedule your free consultation at www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule and let's talk more about how group or private coaching can help you. 

Often we look for quick results (i.e. instant gratification) to “prove” what we’re going is working and to give our brains evidence to keep believing (and thus keep working towards) that goal. 

But this is where we get it backwards. 

We say things like "I'll believe it when I see it," 

But there has to be a foundational level of belief BEFORE you achieve something new. 

And this is often where we get stuck. 

Join me on today's episode where we dive deeper into this and how it creates such a challenge when we get unwanted results. 

Ready to stop emotionally eating and binge eating, so that you can finally feel amazing in your body? 

Schedule your free consultation to learn more about the two ways to work with me: 1) Private Coaching or 2) Group Coaching. 

Either way, it's time to heal your relationship with food and body. I'll show you how.
