One major reason that it can feel like you so desperately want to just eat at the end of the day in order to decompress (even if you're not actually hungry- often called night time eating or emotional eating)- is because WHAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY NEEDING IS:

TO CALM YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM.

A lot of women find themselves eating late night because their nervous systems are still activated from that day -- in fact, for many of us (*me included!) -- our nervous system is activated DAILY in our modern day world. Even multiple times on any given day.

I hear this a lot... "Brenda, I know that overeating is keeping me from my goal, but I just don't know ANY other way to unwind. Nothing else seems to work. It feels like ONLY food can give me just get a little bit of relief from EVERYTHING."

I want you to know that ALL of this makes SO MUCH SENSE. Also know: there IS a solution.

I recently heard somewhere (*I can't remember where or I'd quote it) --> that the average person TODAY hears more news in ONE DAY, then we used to hear in a year.

As soon as I heard that, I thought to myself, Holy shit. Yes. That completely makes sense. Our brain wasn't necessarily wired for the way that our modern-day life is set up these days... (*but again, there are solutions...)

This doesn't have to be a problem.

There are SO MANY options for you.

Here's what you'll learn (and feel like a PRO at) in this episode:

-you'll understand your brain, your body, particularly your nervous system and your stress cycles SO much more.

-you'll feel able to calm your nervous system (ie. self-soothe) in a way thats actually effective AND aligned with the kinds of changes and results you are wanting to create in your life.

-you'll change your long-standing belief that FOOD is the only, and best form of 'relief' so that you can actually change your behaviors and day-to-day choices (*especially, when you're feeling stressed!)

-you'll be able to actually believe that there are SO MANY MORE, and EVEN BETTER options when it comes to navigating even the most challenging seasons of life. (*good-bye sabotage!)

-you'll leave the episode knowing AT LEAST 12 NEW WAYS for calming your nervous system (*self-calming, feeling calm) that are NOT food.

-you'll understand what it means to 'diversify' and WHY this really, really can make ALL the difference.

-you'll feel and be more equipped then ever to care for yourself and your nervous system in a way that is truly an UPLEVEL. We're all about the upgrades. You deserve it.

You def don't wanna miss this one.

LISTEN NOW.

I LOVE TO TRAVEL. I love vacations.

I mean, who doesn't right?!

Well, you'd think that was the case... but so many women feel nervous, worried, fearful, and mistrusting of themselves because they don't believe they have the ability to ENJOY a vacation without 'total sabotage', without 'blowing it'.

[*ESPECIALLY as the world continues to 're-open' post covid, so perhaps you haven't been as accustomed to traveling for a while... ]

A lot of women don't believe it's actually possible to maintain a weight they feel good at WHILE ALSO traveling or vacationing as much and as often as they want to in their lives.

IT IS POSSIBLE.

But if it FEELS impossible, I get it. For the longest time, travel without weight gain felt pretty much impossible for me, also.

Summer vacations and travel used to be a guaranteed: -mental & emotional struggle -tons of sabotage -sooo much overeating that I ended up feeling physically sick and uncomfortable as a result of my 'F-it I'm on vacation' mentality.

The emotional roller coaster of losing and gaining weight, plus the physical discomfort of overeating to that degree used to take so much away from my travel/vacation experiences.

I know I wasn't alone. Millions of women (*the majority) have these experiences that steal joy from their vacations and experiences, each year.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

You deserve to enjoy your vacations and your world travels: WEIGHT DRAMA FREE. FOOD DRAMA FREE.

When I travel now or have an upcoming vacation I can just be excited and ENJOY- because I have total peace.

TOTAL TRUST. TOTAL CONFIDENCE. (no more food worries. no more weight worries.)

I know this is what you are wanting for yourself as well. (...it's what I SO desperately wanted!).

In this episode I teach you HOW to shift from 'F*ck-it' vacation thinking, OR Perfectionism (*vacation weight-gain FEAR, which also leads to increased emotional eating) to A *NEW * and completely different approach.

What I teach you in this episode is what allowed me to finally ENJOY my travels without the weight gain, sabotage or weight struggle.

It's what YOU can experience, as well.

THIS is how you deserve to enjoy your travels and vacations this summer.

No struggle. No sabotage.

This is an episode you don't want to miss.

Physical Autonomy (as a skill) is a VERY big deal.

It's also THE THING that sets apart THE LAST 10 method from anything else out there.

When you have learned and developed PHYSICAL AUTONOMY as a skill...

-You can say NO to the things that you WANT to say NO to. (meaning, no more eating out of obligation or for fear of making someone 'feel bad')

-You can say YES to the things that you WANT to say YES to. (for example, the 12 pounds that you definitely want to lose- but you feel like you 'shouldn't' be so vain... or you're terrified of what your friends might think if they actually knew how much this matters to you...)

- You can make the decisions that you WANT to make for YOUR body- without feeling like you need to explain yourself, or hide, or apologize.

-You can take any food approach/strategy and tailor make it into your own. And never feel like you are 'dieting' ever again.-You can follow through on the kinds of decisions that you know will create the results you're wanting, without feeling restricted or deprived.

And get ready- because There's NOTHING vanilla about this.

THIS CONCEPT IS BOLD.

It's a POWER STANCE.

Developing the skill of Physical Autonomy enables you to do exactly what you want to do. (ie. lose the weight you want to lose, change habits you want to change, etc) in a way that feels POWERFUL.

*The lack of Physical Autonomy results in: eating things out of obligation, being afraid or ashamed to have the goals you want, feeling restricted and deprived about your food choices, lack of motivation, resentment AND MORE.

AUTONOMY is defined as: the right to self-govern.

Physical Autonomy means...

HAVING THE RIGHT - AND THE ABILITY - TO MAKE ANY DECISION WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR BODY.

And yet, so much of our socialization as women (for generations, for centuries, and even millennia!) get's in the way of us feeling the FREEDOM AND POWER that we actually have when it comes to our own bodies.

In this episode you'll learn: -What the heck is Physical Autonomy -WHY it matters -What it allows you to do (*or not do) -A review of women's history, in order to help us understand why we can feel so alienated from our bodies and/or why it can feel so challenging to be completely unapologetic in the decisions we make in regards to our bodies. -The simple steps of Physical Autonomy (*as a skill)YOUR BODY. YOUR CHOICE

PERIOD.

... And I know it doesn't always feel this way. (FOR DECADES it didn't feel this way for me either!)

Learning PHYSICAL AUTONOMY as a skill, has allowed me to eliminate 'the struggle' from this area of my life.

And to experience FREEDOM & POWER, instead.

If I can develop this as a skill, so can you.

I promise you that.

LISTEN NOW.

In this 3-part podcast series, I break down the ONLY 3 skills you need to lose this weight and empower your relationship with food.

There's literally only 3 skills you need.

I know that it can feel like losing 'the last 10 pounds' is only for a select few. It's not.

Your weight loss can be made simple just by learning a process and THESE 3 SKILLS for losing weight.

These 3 skills make losing your weight and being DONE with the struggle more simple and approachable than ever.

AND YES, it's true- There's TONS of approaches out there for losing weight.

THIS ONE is the most effective AND empowering.

In this episode: MENTAL FLEXIBILITY.

Mental flexibility is defined as the ability to change your course in thinking.

It's the process of uncovering the thoughts, beliefs, & perspectives that are keeping you stuck NOW and then also paired with the ability to be FLEXIBLE with approaching things a different way.

When you've learned the skill of MENTAL FLEXIBILITY, you then have ability (the mental flexibility!) to decide HOW you want to think and WHAT You want to believe. And this matters because ALL of your decisions (behaviors, actions) are determined by your thinking (aka your brain).

No matter what you've been thinking or believing up until now, Mental Flexibility is a skill that can be developed.

I break down the two things that allow our HUMAN BRAIN to develop Mental Flexibility as a skill -- Neuroplasticity and Metacognition.

HERE'S THE THING: When you feel like you've tried LITERALLY every single 'diet' and you end up sabotaging in the same ways - or 'nothing works' - that's because your decisions (which create your results) will ultimately, always be determined by your core beliefs (including your self concept) and your thinking.

There's no getting around it.

Regardless what food approach you want to use or implement (*I can tell you that your 'food approach' matters the LEAST) IF you want to change any habits of overeating, emotional eating, sabotaging, lack of commitment, or quitting on your goal - you've gotta change YOUR THINKING.

Changing your beliefs and you thinking REQUIRE MENTAL FLEXIBILITY.

When you learn and develop the skillset of MENTAL FLEXIBILITY: -You can literally follow ANY food plan you choose. -You can lose the amount of weight that YOU decide you want to lose. -You will feel unstoppable about your goal, EMPOWERED, and IN the drivers seat of THIS area of your life

(*important note: It's also a skill you'll NEED in order to MAINTAIN those results once you've created them)

THIS ONE SKILL SET ALONE will change the trajectory of your weight loss journey no matter how frustratingly stuck that you feel right now - or for how long - you've felt this stuck.

If you learn (and master) THIS ONE SKILL it will be 100% WORTH IT.

Mental Flexibility is a skill. And just like any other skill, it must be learned. (*that's the best news btw! because people aren't just 'born with it'. And this also means that if you don't have it YET, you can simply DEVELOP IT)

There is literally NO WHERE ESLE. No other coach. No other program, that teaches this the way that I do.

It worked for me, and it's worked for 100's of my clients. (you've heard them on the podcast!)

You CAN do this.

It CAN be simple.

LISTEN NOW.

I know you think weight loss is overwhelming and complicated, and you're damn near ready to give up hope and throw in the towel. (and trust me, I get it because I battled with my weight and food for 2 decades)

But weight loss can be simple.

There's literally only 3 skills you need.

I also know that you think that losing 'the last 10 pounds' is only for a select few. It's not.

Myself and TONSSSSS of my clients that have been able to lose the weight we had wanted to lose AND ALSO put an end to the mental/emotional struggle with weight and food- just by learning a process and THESE 3 SKILLS for losing weight.

These 3 skills make losing your weight and being DONE with the struggle more simple and approachable than ever.

AND YES, it's true- There's TONS of approaches out there for losing weight.

THIS ONE is the most effective AND empowering.

It actually changes your life.

In this episode I take a deep dive into one of the 3 core skills [EMOTIONAL COURAGE)] and tell you why THIS ONE skill alone is worth learning.

(I'll be talking about the other 2, in the upcoming episodes...)

When you learn and develop the skillset of EMOTIONAL COURAGE: -You can literally follow ANY food plan you choose. -You can lose whatever amount of weight you desire. -You will feel unstoppable about your goal, EMPOWERED, and IN the drivers seat of THIS area of your life

THIS SKILL is what you need in order to lose the weight you want to lose.

It's also a skill you'll need in order to MAINTAIN those results that you worked so hard to create

I am not kidding you, or exaggerating, when I say to you that : --> It is WORTH joining the LAST 10 program and learning THE LAST 10 method, JUST to learn THIS one skillset.

THIS ONE SKILL SET ALONE will change the trajectory of your weight loss journey no matter how frustratingly stuck that you feel right now - or for how long - you've felt this stuck.

If you learn (and master) THIS ONE SKILL it will be 100% WORTH IT.

Hands down, THIS skillset is what allowed me to change my relationship with food COMPLETELY. Which then, allowed me to finally lose ALL the weight I had been wanting to lose.

If you make it YOUR JOB to learn and develop and master this ONE skill then you'll be able to say... goodbye, weight struggle! HELLO RESULTS.

I've been asked SO many times, 'Brenda, what made the biggest difference for you?'

And my answer IN SHORT IS ALWAYS THIS: EMOTIONAL COURAGE.

Emotional Courage is a skill. It's more than a weight loss skill (although you WILL lose the weight!)- it's a life skill.

And just like any other skill, it must be learned. (*that's the best news btw! because people aren't just born with it. And this also means that if you don't have it YET, you can just DEVELOP IT)

There is literally NO WHERE ESLE. No other coach. No other program, that teaches this the way that I do.

It worked for me, and it's worked for 100's of my clients. (you've heard them on the podcast!)

YOU CAN DO THIS.

THIS WILL WORK FOR YOU.

LISTEN NOW.

Like so many women, you likely have moments of feeling exhausted, fatigued, burned out, or just plain depleted...But the thing most women don't know is that feeling tired, does NOT need to end up in nighttime eating, comfort eating, or sabotage.

Believe it or not, I feel tired too!

- I'M A MOM (enough said!) - Run my own business. - Sole financial provider in our family. - Co-chair Latinx coaches community.

AND MORE. The list goes on. I'd be lying if I said I never felt tired.

And I KNOW that you also have your own VERY important roles and responsibilities.

Here's what's important to remember:

YOU ARE HUMAN. Not a robot. Not a machine.

And the truth is that reaching for a bag of your favorite munchies or chocolate doesn't fix anything.

Emotional Overeating of any kind can NOT address or 'solve for' the issue of being overworked and physically tired.

INSTEAD, THERE ARE TWO SIMPLE, EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES THAT ACTUALLY WILL SOLVE YOUR EXHAUSTION & FATIGUE.

And they solve it without ANY of the sabotage.

In fact, the 2 things I teach you in this episode are actually known for ALSO supporting (and even accelerating) your weight loss efforts.

I teach you these 2 simple, and TOTALLY DOABLE strategies in this episode of the Last 10 Podcast.

You'll be able to stop sabotaging (especially night time eating!).

You'll feel recharged and refreshed (instead of eternally depleted).

You'll have new breakthroughs in your weight goals - INSTEAD of - feeling stuck on the 'I eat at night cuz I'm burned out and exhausted' so I don't lose weight hamster-wheel.

*AND MOST IMPORTANT You'll UPLEVEL the way you take care of YOU in your life.

Plus, let's not forget: you'll actually be even MORE able to show up for ALL the roles and responsibilities in your life that matter so much to you BECAUSE you uplevel the way you take care of you.

In this episode I share with you a recent experience and WHY it matters so much for me to have dedicated the time, energy and attention to change and EMPOWER this area of my life that has to do with my weight, my body, and my relationship with food.

You'll learn exactly WHY IT MATTERS FOR YOU ALSO, and why not only is it worth your time, energy and effort, but WHY YOU DESERVE IT.

When it comes to weight loss, what you'll mostly hear it things like- you gotta be 'more disciplined'...

What I've found in my MANY YEARS doing this work (I've been running the last 10 program for 5 yrs now!) and what I've found is actually true: is that THIS area of your life needs a total self-love overhaul.

You can't build empowerment and freedom on judgment and shame.

So the process that you use to lose the weight you want to lose MATTERS.

You can't hate yourself into results that FEEL amazing.

(We know this because it hasn't worked for you in all these years - hating myself was never effective for me either!)

You gotta give yourself MORE love and support.

NOT less.
