I'm burnt out… and I'm finally saying it out loud. If you've been trying to "do it all" and you feel like you're running on fumes, this episode is going to hit home.

This week, I'm opening up about what 2025 really looked like behind the scenes — the pressure, the constant to-do lists, juggling motherhood and business, feeling stretched thin, and realizing that something has to shift moving into 2026. This isn't a New Year's resolution episode. It's an honest conversation about burnout, slowing down, letting go of unrealistic expectations, and finally choosing a year that feels different — calmer, more intentional, more spacious.

Inside this video, we dive into: ✨ The emotional load of motherhood + business ✨ How burnout sneaks up even when you "love your life" ✨ Why constant hustle stops working ✨ The truth about tying your worth to numbers (weight, likes, revenue) ✨ How I'm redefining success for 2026 ✨ And why "doing less" might be the real glow-up

Whether you're a bariatric patient, a mom, an entrepreneur, or someone who just feels fried from life… you're not alone. Watch until the end — I share the word I'm choosing for 2026, and it might inspire yours too.

The holidays bring enough chaos, the last thing you need is unsolicited comments about your body, food choices, or weight loss surgery. In this episode of Proffee & Chaos, Jamie gets real about one of the most important skills you'll ever build on your post-op journey: boundaries.

Whether you're navigating relatives who push food, friends who love to comment on your appearance, or people with very loud opinions about GLP-1s, Jamie walks you through exactly how to respond with clarity, confidence, and zero guilt. You'll learn how to set boundaries with others, and the often forgotten piece, how to set boundaries with yourself. She shares real scripts, mindset shifts, and tough-love reminders to help you honor your needs without letting people-pleasing run the show.

If you're heading into your first holiday season after WLS or you're years post-op and still struggle with comments around food or your body, this conversation will help you breathe easier and feel more prepared. You deserve to enjoy this season without anxiety, shame spirals, or second-guessing yourself.

Grab your proffee, get cozy, and let's build boundaries that actually protect your peace.

Struggling with regain? Feeling like you're doing "everything right" but the scale won't budge? You are not alone — and today's episode will hit home.

In this brutally honest conversation, Jamie sits down with Rob DiMedio — bariatric patient, teacher, personal trainer, and creator of Busy Bariatrics and @myweightishistory — to unpack the real reasons post-op patients struggle with food noise, tracking obsession, regain, and conflicting advice.

Together, they dig into the messy middle of bariatric life: macros vs. intentional eating, why calorie trackers can backfire, how chronic under-eating fuels bingeing, and the emotional weight of trying to "get it right" years after surgery.

If you've ever felt ashamed, stuck, overwhelmed, or terrified of slipping back into old habits — this episode might be the permission slip you've needed.

Watch until the end for insight on: ✨ Why tracking works for some people but destroys progress for others ✨ The truth about food noise (and how to quiet it) ✨ How cultural foods absolutely fit post-op ✨ Why sandwiches, potatoes & pasta aren't the enemy ✨ What regain actually means — and what it doesn't ✨ How to build meals that keep you full AND support weight loss ✨ GLP-1s, mindset, metabolism, and real-life bariatric living

If you've ever stood in your kitchen at 6pm thinking, What the hell am I going to cook for dinner? Welcome to the club, babe. Today's episode pulls the curtain back on what dinner actually looks like in real life… especially when you're post-op, juggling kids, working, and trying to not fall face-first into nighttime snacking.

Jamie keeps it brutally honest (as always) about why dinner feels so overwhelming, why "bariatric-friendly" has gotten way too extreme, and how to build a balanced plate without feeling like you're meal-prepping for the military. From crockpot staples and girl-dinner plates to the "rotisserie chicken saves lives" movement, this episode gives you the permission you didn't even know you needed: food doesn't have to be fancy to count.

Inside, you'll learn:

• Why perfectionism around dinner leads straight to grazing

• How to build a balanced plate using Jamie's Bariatric Breakthrough® Meal Plate Method

• Easy dinner ideas that don't require recipes, meal prep, or culinary skills

• The truth about pasta, bread, carbs, and why mixed meals still count

• Why under-eating at dinner fuels bingeing later

• How to stop making separate meals for your family and yourself

This episode is for anyone 1–10+ years post-op who's exhausted, hungry, and tired of feeling like dinner determines their success.

If the holidays make you panic about gaining weight, this video is for you. Jamie is talking about holiday eating, weight gain fear, emotional triggers, family comments, and how to stay grounded without restricting, avoiding food, or starting the shame spiral again.

Here's the truth: Most people gain 1–3 lbs between October and New Year's, not the 10–20 lbs you may fear. So if you've struggled with regain or "holiday binge season," the issue isn't the food… it's the all-or-nothing mindset around the food.

In this episode, Jamie walks you through:

• How to enjoy holiday meals without losing progress

• How fear + guilt can trigger binge eating and secret snacking

• Why restriction backfires (especially post-op + on GLP-1s)

• How to actually choose what you want and feel satisfied

• How to set boundaries with family's food & body comments

• Why maintenance is a valid goal this season

• And how to step into the holidays with confidence and calm

Trigger warning: In this episode, I talk about fertility struggles, TTC, perinatal depression, and a few mentions of vomiting. Please take care of yourself and skip or pause if you need to. Today I'm pulling back the curtain on my entire motherhood journey from being told at 14 that PCOS could make pregnancy hard, to choosing weight loss surgery, to an unexpectedly fast conception, and then… one of the hardest pregnancies imaginable. I share the reality of hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), preeclampsia, a planned C-section at 36 weeks, and the NICU plus the shock of postpartum relief when the nausea finally stopped.

We also get real about identity shifts after baby, mom guilt, being the default parent, and how I'm rebuilding my routines as a working mom/entrepreneur. I talk about body image after WLS, why I did blind weigh-ins in pregnancy, the mindset that helped me release perfectionism, and how GLP-1s supported my postpartum season. If you're navigating TTC, pregnancy after bariatric surgery, postpartum chaos, or just need someone to say "you're not failing," this one's for you.

💡 What We Covered in Today's Episode

• PCOS diagnosis at 14, infertility fears, and how that shaped Jamie's decision to have WLS

• Pregnancy after bariatric surgery: GLP-1s, conception, hyperemesis gravidarum, preeclampsia, and a NICU stay

• The unexpected relief of postpartum, healing from prenatal depression, and identity shifts as a working mom

• Letting go of body shame, blind weigh-ins, postpartum weight loss without obsession

• The emotional weight of being the default parent and giving yourself permission to choose grace over perfection

In this empowering episode of Proffee & Chaos, Jamie dives deep into the truth behind why so many bariatric patients still feel stuck - even after surgery. Spoiler: it's not your food plan or protein goal holding you back... it's your mindset.

Jamie opens up about the real mental and emotional work that fuels lasting success after surgery. From journaling and affirmations to mindset coaching and shadow work, she shares how rewiring your thoughts can completely transform your relationship with food, your body, and yourself.

Whether you're newly post-op or years into your journey, this episode will help you: ✨ Understand why "fixing your head" matters more than your stomach ✨ Break through perfectionism, fear, and all-or-nothing thinking ✨ Reconnect with your goals — and believe you're worthy of achieving them

You'll also hear Jamie's favorite mindset exercises, journaling prompts, and self-reflection tools used inside her coaching programs and The Tribe Membership community.
