  • 94. How Lisa Lost 24 Pounds During Menopause WITHOUT Dieting or Giving Up Ice Cream

    Feeling stuck with menopause weight and convinced it’s “just your age”? Think again, my friend!


    Lisa thought so too—until she lost 24 pounds at 61…without dieting, without tracking, and yes, while still eating pizza and ice cream.


    In this inspiring episode, I sit down with one of my incredible Mindful Weight Loss Academy grads, Lisa, who shares her powerful story of transformation. After decades of dieting (hello, Weight Watchers in the ‘90s 😵‍💫), she was fed up, frustrated, and ready to feel like herself again.


    Spoiler: she found freedom, satisfaction, and food peace—and she’s breaking down exactly how she did it.


    If you’ve ever thought, “It’s too late for me,” or felt exhausted by decades of food drama, you have got to hear Lisa’s story. She’s proof that weight loss after 50 & 60 is absolutely DOABLE, without cutting out your favorite foods or spending hours obsessing over every bite.


    If you’re ready to believe that weight loss is still possible and doesn’t have to feel like punishment, this episode will light a fire under you. Press play and meet your new post-menopause role model.


    xoxo, 

    Jackie

  • 93. 3 “Healthy” Habits That Are Actually Slowing Down Your Metabolism (& How to Fix Them!)

    Ever feel like your metabolism is totally broken? Like, you’re eating super healthy, barely snacking, crushing cardio... but the scale ain’t budging? Let me just say: you are NOT crazy—and you might actually be doing the things that are keeping your metabolism stuck (even though you’re following all the “rules”).


    In this episode, I’m breaking down the 3 common “healthy” habits we all fall for that are secretly slowing your metabolism to a crawl—and exactly what to do to reset your body so you can finally let go of the weight, without obsessing, restricting, or living at the gym.


    You don’t have to accept feeling stuck, exhausted, or frustrated. Your body isn’t broken—it just needs new signals. So if you’re ready for results that finally last, tune in to learn what actually works (spoiler: it’s NOT 1200 calories and six days of cardio a week).


    Ready to work with your body and stop fighting it? Let’s get that metabolism working for YOU again and watch those pounds drop. Because you deserve to feel amazing!

  • 92. Want to Enjoy Halloween Candy and Still Lose Weight? Start With These 7 Tips

    Halloween candy hangover? Been there, felt that sugar coma! If you’ve ever found yourself elbow-deep in Reese’s wrappers and promising you’ll “be good tomorrow,” this episode is your new BFF.


    Today I’m keeping it real with 7 super doable, guilt-free tips for a binge-free Halloween—even when all that candy is staring you down! No shame, no “starting over,” just practical mindset shifts and easy hacks to help you enjoy your favorite treats (hello, pumpkin pie and not-so-much candy corn) without going off the rails.


    We’ll talk about how to actually choose your favorite candies with intention (not just grab what’s in the bowl), ditch that old “last chance” thinking, and use my game-changing “facts over feels” tool when you eat more than you planned. Plus, I’m giving you my honest strategy for getting leftover candy outta sight (and turning it into something you actually want to eat later).


    If you’re ready to enjoy Halloween treats and walk away feeling proud instead of panicked, this episode’s for you. Oh—and I’m sharing all my fave healthy-ish candy brands, too!


    Let’s ditch the guilt, enjoy the memories, and remember: candy doesn’t have the power—you do.

  • 90. How Dana Lost 37 Pounds at 40 Without Counting Calories or Giving Up Ice Cream!

    Ever wonder if it’s actually possible to lose weight and keep it off while still living your real, messy life (with Starbucks runs, school drop-offs, birthdays, holidays, and all the chaos?

    IT TOTALLY IS—and today’s episode proves it.

    In this super inspiring convo, I sit down with my client Dana, who came into the Mindful Weight Loss Academy feeling stuck, skeptical, and totally over calorie counting. She was 40, tired of feeling uncomfortable in her own skin, and not even sure weight loss was possible anymore.

    Four months later? She’s down 37 pounds, in maintenance, and rocking a whole new level of confidence WHILE still eating ice cream and showing her daughters what it looks like to take care of yourself.

    This episode is packed with real talk, mindset shifts, and proof that yes, sustainable weight loss is 100% possible even in your 40s, even with kids, even when you’ve tried everything.

    We’re talking real-life weight loss, mindset shifts, family dynamics, how community and accountability were total game changers, and how Dana finally ditched the old “I’ll just eat everything now and start over later” trap. Plus, she shares her tricks for eating at social events, finding meals everyone (including the kids!) loves, and what made the biggest difference this time around.

    If you’re feeling like lasting weight loss is impossible, or you’re scared to try again because nothing works…this one will give you SO much hope. Press play and get inspired to enter your era of doing it for YOU.

    In today’s episode, I’m spilling the tea on the 5 things I wish I knew before I lost 65 pounds (and kept it off for FIFTEEN years) — plus 5 pieces of diet culture “advice” I’d tell you to run far, far away from!

    In today’s episode, I’m sharing one of the most powerful mindset shifts I teach inside Mindful Weight Loss Academy—how to turn your setbacks into stepping stones. We’re talking about ditching the “why me?” mindset, taking back your power, and seeing obstacles as the exact turning points that lead to growth, healing, and real transformation.


    I’ll get personal about my own story: like losing a pregnancy, struggling with infertility, and how those twists actually led me to some of my biggest wins (hello, Ezra!). Plus, I’m breaking down how this mindset shift can change your journey…whether you're stuck in a plateau, dealing with stress eating, or just feeling off track.


    If you keep feeling stuck, stalled, or straight-up frustrated with your progress, this episode is your must-listen. We’ll talk reframes, pivots, curiosity over control, and how to rewrite your own freaking story. The obstacle you’re facing right now? It just might be the catalyst for your next breakthrough.


    Remember: you’re NOT the victim of your journey—you’re the author of your comeback.

    Okay, let’s be honest—no one told us that one day we’d be googling things like “what the hell is perimenopause?” or “why do I want to eat my weight in Nutella at 3 a.m.?”


    If you’ve noticed your body changing in your 30s, 40s, or beyond (hi, night sweats, random joint pain, and mood swings for days), THIS is the episode you needed yesterday. I brought back the amazing Kim Schlag—nutrition coach, personal trainer, and total menopause truth-teller—to break down what really happens when hormones start doing their wild thing (spoiler: it’s not just about weight gain!).


    Kim gets real about her own hot flash horror stories (can you say changing clothes 12 times a night?!), the tools that help, and why this can actually be the best stage of your life (seriously). This episode is packed with truth bombs, real talk, and science-backed strategies to help you stop starting over.


    If you’ve ever felt lost in the “what now?!” maze of midlife, pull up a chair, grab your coffee (or a cold towel 😉), and press play!

    Ever wonder what you’ll be like at 90? (Personally, I plan to be a cute grandma in a hip little outfit, still dancing at weddings and holding babies.) If you’re here for a long, healthy, joyful life (not just a smaller body), this episode is for you.


    Today, I’m getting super real and opening up about my Grammy Z’s passing, the life lessons she handed me, and how I want to live (and age gracefully!) with intention. We’re skipping the step-by-step meal plans and routines. This one’s a heart-to-heart: what actually matters when you zoom out and look at the big picture.


    You’ll hear how she lived a full 90 years (hint: it wasn’t from dieting), and how I’m rethinking everything from self-care to legacy. If you’re taking care of aging parents, grieving a loved one, or just feeling like you’ve put yourself last for too long…this episode is your wake-up call.


    This isn’t just about weight loss. It’s about your life and how you want to live it, gracefully.

  • 85. How Rebecca Lost 10 Pounds by Breaking All the Rules - “I’ll Never Diet Again!”

    Ever feel like you’ve tried everything to lose weight—Weight Watchers, willpower, the “just don’t buy snacks” approach, and still end up bingeing on pretzels at 10 p.m. wondering what’s wrong with you? So did Rebecca.


    In today’s episode, I sit down with Rebecca, a busy single mom of two from LA and a total success story from Mindful Weight Loss Academy (although let’s be real…once a client, always a client ).


    We’re talking about the moment she hit diet rock bottom, the inner tug-of-war between “I can’t spend money on myself” and “I’m so over this struggle,” and how she finally said YES to herself...after almost walking away.

    (Spoiler: she said NO after our first call—and then came back a month later ready to change her life.)


    Rebecca shares her raw and honest journey: from years of yo-yo dieting and late-night binges, to finally finding food freedom through mindfulness and intention. We’re talking about the mindset shift that made food stop controlling her, how she went from snack-obsessed to truly satisfied, and the life-changing non-scale victories she’s celebrated—like having energy for her kids, finally loving her body, and ditching diet culture for good.


    Real talk: if you’re tired of feeling out of control around food, obsessed with your weight, or convinced you’re just “bad” at healthy eating, you need this episode in your life. Rebecca proves there’s a better way—and it has nothing to do with points, perfection, or “starting over.”


    Whether you’re on the fence about joining MWLA or you’re just sick of feeling like you’re “failing” at food, Rebecca’s story will leave you inspired, empowered, and maybe even a little emotional. (I definitely was.)


    xoxo,
