You’re a working mom who wants to lose weight, but you keep running into the same wall: who freaking has time to learn how to lose weight for the last time??

That was exactly Emma’s question when she was on maternity leave. Emma is an amazing, beloved Yummy Mummy client I invited onto the pod to speak about her experience. Before she joined, she knew she wanted to drop her post-pregnancy weight, but life was already bonkers with a newborn (she has 3 kids, after all!). Then add weight loss goals on top of it? It seemed like way too much to commit to.

Emma had made so many attempts at weight loss over the years, she could tell you exactly how many calories are in a banana, but no approach seemed to work. They definitely didn’t last. She was doubtful anything ever would. She didn’t know what else was left that she hadn’t already tried.

You can see where I’m going with this ;) Emma joined the Yummy Mummy Experience (YMX) and found everything she’d been missing from the other weight loss strategies she’d been trying for years. 

Listen into our conversation and hear Emma share about:

• Why she decided to commit to YMX 
• The doubts and fears she felt when she decided to lose weight for the last time
• How YMX provided the missing key that unlocked her weight loss
• What choice and freedom mean when it comes to a new food mindset
• The impact of the support and guidance of a true community

And mama, if Emma’s message speaks to you, you’re here at just the right time. Doors are currently OPEN for the next cohort of YMX! We start September 25, so get your booty over to lauraconley.com to learn everything you need to know, and you can even book a free consultation call with me to see if this program is your next right step.

One of my favorite clients ever is here to share a bit about her story inside the Yummy Mummy Experience!

Liron joins me on the pod today from her home in Kansas City where she lives with her husband and two kids and I know you’re going to relate to her prior struggle with weighing what she wanted.

“In the grand scheme of things, I just wanted to lose 10-15 pounds, but it was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. When I did things like Noom, I would do it in six to eight weeks and then go on vacation, or something would happen (good or bad) and I didn’t have the tools to not give up. So then it became a vicious cycle for two years.”

Liron had been listening to THIS podcast for eight months when she finally decided to join the Yummy Mummy cohort this past January. 

“It’s a village of people who are like-minded, who are all successful in their own right, who need cheerleaders behind them to get this done. It’s a way to do something that’s hard but do it with others who really uplift you and support you.”

Hop in on our conversation and hear straight from Liron about:

• Why Yummy Mummy is different for your weight loss than going it alone
• How she learned not to give up on herself anymore
• The safety and sisterhood Liron found in the Yum Mum community
• What pleasantly surprised her about joining Yum Mum and how it compares to ‘diets’

Weighing what you want to weigh is a skill, which means it’s something you can learn. The School of Skinny (my 5-day weight loss challenge) is IN SESSION September 9th-13th but just like any other school, you have to enroll! You can do that at lauraconley.com/school and walk away with a black and white weight loss plan you know you’ll follow.

The frustration of gaining and losing the same four pounds is a special kind of hell. You just want to weigh what you want and feel good in your skin, but you can’t seem to land in that place. It’s always just out of reach. You start to wonder why it seems like your body is failing you.

It’s the worst. I know, I’ve been there.

First thing I want you to understand is that this isn’t your fault. We’ve only been taught to gain and lose the same damn four pounds, so of course that’s the only result we see. That’s what diet culture has to offer us.

The Yummy Mummy method is different. In my program, you get a plan. And before you cringe, no, a plan is not just another word for ‘diet’. Plans are the complete opposite. They’re spacious, easeful, and doable, and it’s how Yum Mums are able to stick to them until they get the results they want. 

Why? Because we back each Yum Mum’s plan up with psychology and science. Even if you’re not a planner, never been a planner, hate what the word conjures in your mind, I GOT YOU, boo. You let me figure out the plan and you just experience the benefits. 

Tune into this episode and you’ll learn:

• The two reasons why you gain and lose the same four pounds
• Why a custom Yum Mum plan works and diet culture doesn’t
• How to make a weight loss plan you’re not a slave to
• How to break the over-restricting > overeating cycle
• Easeful ways to use mindset hacks for success instead of white-knuckling it

Weighing what you want to weigh is a skill, which means it’s something you can learn. The School of Skinny (my 5-day weight loss challenge) is IN SESSION September 9th-13th but just like any other school, you have to enroll!

Time for part 2 of how to be a skinny mom! 

Keep in mind that we’re using ‘skinny’ as an adjective that describes a mom who feels hot, confident in her skin, and like the best version of herself. You can choose whatever term you want! That’s the beauty of it. 

If you’re wondering “Okay Laura, but how the heck do I get from feeling frickin’ terrible to amazing?” then go listen to part 1 of this two-parter. I lay out the whole foundation. One of the reasons we don’t weigh what we want is because we have too many demands on our time and energy, so we feel stressed. Part 1 talks about how to avoid getting to that place of overwhelm. 

Part 2 is going to pick up with what to do when stress does inevitably happen (hel-lo stress-eating) and what to do in the moments after you realize you soothed yourself with food.

This episode is going to dive into strategies from a compassionate place and I think you’re really going to resonate with it!

Listen in and hear more about: 

• Multiple stress management strategies so you can choose one that works for you
• How to make a counter argument with your brain when it urges you to overeat
• Ways to look at food and weight with a big picture, long-term lens
• The importance of persistence and learning from your mistakes

If you ever wondered what to do to start feeling better about yourself and your body image as a mom, today is your lucky day. I’m going to take you through each and every how of being a mom who feels good in her skin.

We’re talking about how to be a hot mom, how to be a skinny mom, a sexy mom, a mom who feels confident in their clothes, light, and alive. 

And what that REALLY boils down to is how to stop being stressed.

Because it’s stressful being a mom and/or woman in this world. And stress-eating is a huge way we soothe ourselves. Even if you’re someone who’s thinking, “No, not me. I don’t overeat when I’m stressed,” trust me, you probably do. Stress-eating is freakin’ sneaky.

You have a really stressful day, you come home and snap at your husband, and then you dive into the chocolate-covered, peanut butter-stuffed pretzels without connecting the two. 

That’s what I used to do. It’s what SO many of my clients used to do. 

To make the connection, you need the right tools, and that’s what I want to talk about today. Using the right tools, you can uncover WHY you’re stress-eating in the first place, and then make changes so you can weigh what you want. Finally.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to get in front of the stress you feel
• Helpful stress management tools (because human life is stressful regardless)
• What to do with difficult feelings instead of eat
• Super-simple, effective mindset tweaks
