Lose Weight Mindfully | weight loss, mindful eating, healthy recipes, emotional eating, boost energy

Ever catch yourself thinking, “I should be farther along by now…” or “Why am I not losing weight faster?”

If you’ve ever spiraled because your progress feels “too slow,” this episode is going to be the reality check your brain desperately needs. You are not behind. You are not failing. Your expectations just need a little cleanup.

Today, I’m getting brutally honest (with so much love) about the five rules for setting high, but actually realistic, expectations for weight loss so you can stop feeling disappointed and finally feel proud of the direction you’re heading. 

I’m sharing my own unrealistic expectations and why trying to lose 65 pounds in 6 months nearly broke me, the sneaky mindset traps that make women feel like failures when they’re actually making great progress, and real stories from clients who stopped rushing the process and started getting real results.

You’ll walk away with tough-love clarity, a fresh mindset, and simple questions to reset your expectations starting today. Plus, I’m sharing client wins that prove slow and steady isn’t just “fine,” it’s where the long-term magic happens.

If you’re tired of feeling behind, tired of quitting when things aren’t perfect, or just need someone to tell you the truth with love, this episode is for you. Let’s clean up those expectations and finally make progress you’re proud of.

xoxo,

Jackie

Ever followed a million nutrition accounts, tried every “quick fix” in January, and still felt totally overwhelmed (and honestly…kinda hungry)? Girl, SAME.

If you are tired of falling for detoxes, cleanses, fat-burning “miracles,” or just want real advice that actually fits into your busy, chaotic mom-life, today’s episode is your new BFF. I brought on media dietitian and wellness myth-buster Abbey Sharp to spill the tea (literally) on how to actually lose weight mindfully AND keep it off without driving yourself absolutely nuts.

We get into all the things you’re Googling:

• Why protein, fiber, and healthy fats need to be your plate-building besties

• How to make healthy eating actually doable (even with kids, work, NO time, and yes, rotisserie chicken from Costco!)

• The truth about SkinnyTok and all those wellness cult tips that make you feel like crap

• What’s REALLY up with GLP-1 meds like Ozempic and the semaglutide craze—should you take it, when does it help, when does it get weird??

Plus, Abbey shares her honest story…going from the “perfect” PhD track to totally switching careers and crushing the media game. Because life isn’t about looking perfect; it’s about finding your WHY and creating real, sustainable change.

If you’ve ever wanted someone to break down nutrition for your REAL LIFE, help you shut down that diet noise, and remind you there’s no one “right” way—we’re here to help you find it!

xoxo,

Jackie

Ever find yourself hyped for the “New Year, New Me,” only to hit February and think…ugh, here we go again? Yeah. SAME. If you’re tired of the all-or-nothing resolutions, counting every calorie, or Googling another 30-day detox, this episode is your actual fresh start.

In today’s kickoff to 2026, I’m walking you through 3 tiny, zero-drama habits that will finally help you lose weight this year. No calorie counting. No perfection. No 47-step routines. Just real-life strategy that works whether you’re juggling kids, career chaos, or your coffee going cold for the third time.

No guilt. No self-sabotage. No restarting every Monday. Just small, strategic shifts that build momentum and actually stick.

If you’re ready to stop canceling on yourself and finally become the woman who follows through, grab your (probably lukewarm) coffee and hit play. 2026 is YOUR year, and it starts with one simple step. Let’s GO!

xoxo,

Jackie

Feel like your metabolism ghosted you? Like you’re eating clean, working out, doing all the “right” things—and still nothing’s happening? Girl, I’ve been there!

Here’s the truth no one tells you: your so-called “healthy habits” might actually be wrecking your metabolism.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the 3 biggest weight loss mistakes that slow your metabolism way down—and what to do instead so your body starts burning fat on autopilot. Yep, we’re flipping the script on everything you’ve been taught about weight loss.

In today’s episode, we’ll cover:

• Why eating less is not the answer—and might be making things worse

• The real reason cardio isn’t cutting it (and what actually works)

• How stress and screen time mess with your hormones

• Simple, science-backed swaps to boost your metabolism without burnout

  
  

And let’s not forget—it’s the end of the year. If you want to end 2025 strong and start 2026 on the right foot, this episode is exactly where you need to be. No more spinning your wheels. It’s time to work with your body, not against it.

xoxo,

Jackie

100 episodes?! Cue the confetti, friends! 🥳 I can’t quite believe we’re here either. When I started this podcast, I had no mic, no plan, and no idea what would happen. But I did have one powerful message: real weight loss isn’t about dieting harder—it’s about living better.

And here we are. 100,000 downloads later!!!!! 

Whether you’ve been here since day one or you’re brand new, I want to say: thank you. This show has changed my body, my mindset, my business, and my relationship with food—and in today’s episode, I’m sharing the 10 biggest lessons I’ve learned along the way. The ones that helped me lose 65 pounds and keep it off while running a business and raising two babies.

These aren’t Instagram-perfect soundbites. These are the real, messy, unsexy truths that actually work—so you can stop starting over and start feeling like the most powerful version of yourself.

PLUS: I’m getting a little emotional about what this podcast has meant to me—and why your reviews, shares, and messages are the fuel that keeps me going. 

Let’s laugh, learn, and lift each other up as we say goodbye to 2025 and helllllloooo, 2026.

xoxo,

Jackie

Ever wish you could lose weight without logging every crumb, giving up Oreos, or spiraling with guilt after a snack attack? Girl, SAME.

But Macy? She’s proof that you don’t have to do any of that.

In today’s episode, I’m chatting with Macy—a rockstar mom (of TWO under three!) and Mindful Weight Loss Academy client—who lost 26 pounds (and 2 pant sizes!) just 4 months postpartum…without dieting, calorie counting, or giving up Oreos.

We’re diving into what it really takes to lose weight mindfully: eating real food (yes, even deep-fried fair food!), joining an amazing community for support, and actually putting yourself FIRST for once. Macy shares how upping her protein, listening to her body (no more eating by the clock!), and giving herself grace changed everything. Plus, she dishes on how her healthy habits are rubbing off on her family and friends (hello, ripple effect)!

If you’re tired of starting over every Monday, convinced you “don’t have time,” or nervous to invest in yourself, you need to hear Macy’s story. This episode is REAL TALK about mom life, weight loss, and why it’s totally possible for you—yes, YOU—to lose weight and keep it off without restriction or deprivation.

Ready for your own transformation? Hit play and let’s do this together!

xoxo,

Jackie

Tired of setting the same New Year’s resolution every year…only to quit by February?

That’s why I ditched resolutions years ago and started using one simple strategy that actually helped me stay consistent, lose weight, and build the life (and health) I wanted. It’s called a Word of the Year—and it’s not just cute Pinterest inspo. It’s a game-changing mindset tool that’s helped me and my Mindful Weight Loss Academy clients have our most grounded, powerful, and aligned years ever.

In this episode, I’m walking you through the exact exercise I use to choose my Word of the Year—plus, I’ll reveal my word for 2026 (hint: it’s not “hustle”). We’ll talk about why typical resolutions don’t work, how to create momentum that lasts longer than your leftover holiday cookies, and how to show up for yourself even when “life gets lifey.”

I reveal my top tips, tricks, and strategies to help you dial in on your weight loss goals for 2026 and choose a word of the year that aligns with your big dreams. It's time to push the boundaries of what you thought was possible for your health and get crystal clear on what's in store for you!

If you’re ready to stop quitting on yourself and start building habits you can actually stick to—this episode is your first step.

Jackie

Does Thanksgiving (and the rest of the holidays) always leave you feeling bloated, guilty, and swearing you’ll “start over on Monday”? SAME.  If you’re tired of the whole eat-all-the-things-then-feel-awful-then-promise-to-be-perfect cycle, this episode is seriously for YOU.

I’m breaking down the 5 essential strategies (the exact ones I still use & teach my clients) to help you actually ENJOY Thanksgiving—without guilt, food coma vibes, or starting over again.

Let’s break free of food guilt, ENJOY your favorite traditions, and make this Thanksgiving (and every holiday!) something you actually look forward to.

This isn’t about dieting. It’s about enjoying everything—from stuffing to seconds with zero guilt and total confidence.

Whether you're hosting or just showing up, this episode will help you create a new kind of Thanksgiving—one where you feel in control, at peace with food, and proud of how you showed up for yourself.

You can lose weight (or maintain it!) over the holidays. You just need the right tools. Let’s get into them!

Ever feel like the second November hits, all your progress goes out the window? The holidays used to be a non-stop spiral of overeating for me, and if you’ve ever felt stuck in that gross guilt/self-sabotage cycle, you are SO not alone.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing 5 powerful mindset shifts that helped me—and my Mindful Weight Loss Academy clients—finally stop the food guilt, enjoy our favorite treats, and still feel in control through the holiday season.

These shifts aren’t about skipping dessert or white-knuckling it through Thanksgiving dinner. They’re about breaking the all-or-nothing cycle so you can eat with freedom, stay connected to your goals, and walk into January feeling proud (not panicked).

If you want to actually ENJOY your favorite holiday foods without starting the next year in a shame spiral, you need this episode in your earbuds, like, yesterday.

Let’s make this the year you don’t “start over” in January. Deal?

Jackie
