Why does joy feel so scary? Why do we hold back when life is good, waiting for something bad to happen? In this episode, I’m sharing why joy is the most vulnerable emotion we can feel and how that fear keeps us from fully living. We’ll talk about why our brains default to “what if it all goes wrong,” how this ties into body image and weight loss, and why you don’t need a smaller body to feel joy right now.

I’m also giving you a personal update from my birthday and what’s making me grateful (and a little nervous!) in this season of life. If you’ve ever struggled to let yourself be happy without guilt or fear, this one’s for you.

What you’ll learn in this episode:
✔ Why joy is the most vulnerable emotion
✔ How fear of losing happiness sabotages your peace
✔ The connection between body image, weight loss, and joy
✔ Practical tips to embrace joy without waiting for the “perfect” moment

🎧 Hit play now and learn how to stop waiting for the other shoe to drop—and start feeling good in the life you have today.

In this episode, I’m sharing the habits, behaviors, and sneaky thought patterns that kept me stuck for years…and would absolutely pack the weight back on if I let them.

If you’ve been slipping back into these patterns or feel disconnected from yourself, this episode is your wake-up call.

In this episode of the Irresistible You podcast, we’re diving into what it means to embrace your cozy or “soft life” era, without the guilt. I used to think that doing cozy things like diamond painting or relaxing at home was lazy… or worse, that stillness would lead to weight gain. I thought if it didn’t make money or burn calories, it was a waste of time. But now I know better.

I’m sharing how I’ve started doing things that pull me rather than constantly pushing myself and how that shift has helped me stop emotional eating, feel more grounded, and finally listen to my body. Cozy isn’t laziness, it’s restoration.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between hustle culture and burnout, this episode is for you.

🎧 Tune in and learn how to create your cozy moments in a world that won’t slow down.

In this special episode, I’m stepping outside our usual conversation about confidence and body image to share something deeply personal: my daughter just published her first children’s book!

And while this episode is about my daughter’s story, it’s also about us.
If you grew up in a bigger body, if you never saw yourself in media, if you spent years believing you had to shrink to be worthy, you’re going to feel this. Because the need to be seen and accepted doesn’t go away when we grow up.

Rosie Sparkle Fin: The Mermaid Who Found Her Sparkle With Type 1 Diabetes was born out of her real-life T1D diagnosis and her brave journey navigating a whole new world. This book isn’t just a story about a magical mermaid. It’s about what happens when a child finally sees themselves represented in the pages of a book, and how healing that can be.

You’re doing the work. You’re being consistent. You know things are changing…
But then you take a photo and think, ‘I still look fat.’

Welcome to the messy middle. The part no one talks about. It’s not exciting. It’s not dramatic. It’s just hard. And boring. And where you're most likely to quit on yourself. 

In this episode, we’re getting real about:

• Why this part of the journey feels so uncomfortable
• The emotional rollercoaster of “I’ve changed!” vs “I still look fat”
• What to do when your body is changing but your mind hasn’t caught up
• How to keep going when it feels like nothing is working

🎧 Press play and let’s talk about how to swim through the middle.

If you’re only focused on shrinking your body, you’re missing the real transformation.

This episode goes beyond the scale to talk about what holds you back, and it’s not just the number.

In this episode, I’m getting into the real weight that’s keeping you stuck:

• The toxic self-talk running on autopilot
• The emotional eating you use to numb out
• The dead relationships and friendships dragging you down
• The pressure to be perfect before you can feel good in your skin
• The “inner fat b*tch” voice that shames you into silence
• The belief that life will finally begin once you hit your goal weight

Weight loss might be the goal, but healing the emotional weight is what sets you free.

If you're tired of losing the same pounds over and over while your confidence stays buried underneath guilt, shame, and fear… this one’s for you.

It’s only June. That means you still have six full months to change your life. Seriously. Who do you want to be when the ball drops on December 31st?

Are you going to be crying in the bathroom again because nothing fits? Googling “how to lose weight fast” for the hundredth time? Or are you going to feel proud as hell that you didn’t give up on yourself this time?

In this episode, I’m talking about what’s actually possible in six months and how showing up with consistency (not perfection!) can transform how you feel, how you live, and how you see yourself.

If you’re tired of starting over every Monday, hating your life, emotionally eating your days away, and waiting for “the right time,” this is your wake-up call.

Let’s talk about who you could be by the end of the year and how to start becoming her now.

Welcome to the first episode of Diamond Paint and Podcast — a cozy space where I decompress, diamond paint, and talk through the emotional weight of everyday life.

This series is for those of us who are just trying to feel like ourselves again one tiny sparkle at a time. No filters, no scripts, no pressure. Just real talk while I work on something that feeds my soul.

In this first episode, I’m catching you up on life lately, how I’ve been feeling, and where my head’s been. It’s not polished. It’s not planned. It’s just me decompressing, rambling, and trying to process the chaos with a side of bling!

💎 If you need something comforting, relatable, and real in the background, press play.

✨ Watch this if you:

Love diamond painting and a side of deep thoughts

Need a chill space to feel seen

Want something to keep you company while you unwind

You ever lie in bed at night, thinking about all the things you're going to do tomorrow, like wake up early, eat better, clean the house, work out, be more present, but then tomorrow comes… and you're right back in survival mode? Girl, I get it! Please hear this: you're not lazy - you're at maximum capacity. In this episode, I’m getting real about the exhaustion of good intentions that never get met, the emotional weight of feeling stuck, and the shame that sneaks in when you know you're capable of more but can't seem to show up. If you're just getting by and tired of feeling like you're failing… this one's for you.
