This isn’t your typical “how I lost the weight” story—because Sarah isn’t here to talk about calories, macros, or the size of her jeans. She’s here to dismantle the diet hamster wheel so many women have been running on for decades.

In this raw conversation, we call out the Monday-start diet trap, the binge–restrict–regret cycle, and the toxic belief that our worth is tied to shrinking ourselves. Sarah shares how she went from living by food rules to living by her own rules—and why allowing herself to eat the cake was the very thing that ended the binge spiral for good.

If you’ve ever felt chained to the scale, guilted by gym culture, or trapped in the “start again next Monday” loop, this episode will give you the permission, perspective, and proof that there’s another way. No shame. No shortcuts. Just truth.

In this vulnerable and powerful first episode of Not Playing That Game Anymore, Kye peels back the curtain on what it really means to follow all the rules—only to end up burned out, broken, and betrayed by the very systems she trusted.

She shares the deeply personal story of navigating eight miscarriages, undiagnosed Hashimoto’s, and a career that looked great on paper but was eroding her from the inside.

From her background in physiology and wellness to the moment her own body turned into the teacher she couldn’t ignore, Kye explores:

Why high-functioning women often miss the early signs of burnout

The dangerous disconnect between external success and internal alignment

The truth about cortisol, stress, and why you stop thinking clearly when you’re stuck in survival mode

How shame keeps us pushing through even when everything inside is screaming “Stop!”

This episode is a wake-up call for women who’ve checked all the boxes and still feel like something’s off.

If your body’s been whispering (or screaming) for change and your mind is still trying to explain it away—you need this conversation.
