  • 278 | Grief Talk + How to Begin Lifting Weights

    I recently lost my doggie Miss Faye, and I talk through her loss a bit in the first part of the episode. If you've ever lost a pet - my heart goes out to you.

    Then I take a sharp right turn and talk about how you can begin lifting weights when you feel resistant towards it. I walk through steps you can take today to understand the importance of weightlifting, and how it can change your life in every way.

  • 277 | Underrated Nutrition Game Changer - Learning Presence as a Skill

    You know what to eat. It's just hard to do it consistently, and when this is happening, the problem isn't willpower - it's presence.

    Presence is the skill of being WITH yourself (your thoughts, emotions, urges) without immediately reacting. It's what lets you feel the urge to binge and NOT automatically overeat or leave your body.

    In this episode, I share how I developed presence as a skill after 20+ years of binge-eating, tangible tactics you can practice today, and why this is the missing piece that makes everything else work, even though it's a struggleee to practice!

    If you've tried restriction, tracking, meal plans, and intuitive eating - and you STILL can't get results, this episode is for you.

    Topics covered:

    • What presence actually is
    • My personal story of developing this skill
    • Tangible tactics to build presence starting today
    • Why all your strategies fail without this foundation
    • How long it takes to develop (and what the process looks like)

  • 276 | Neurodivergent Nutrition: What Your Brain Actually Needs

    You know what to eat, you just can't stay consistent.

    You've tried meal plans, macro tracking, intuitive eating... and nothing sticks. I promise there's nothing wrong with you - you're just not wired like that.

    Traditional nutrition plans require strong executive function, sustained self-motivation, delayed gratification, and impulse control. If you're neurodivergent or highly sensitive, your brain literally doesn't work that way. But there IS an approach that does.

    In this episode, I share my multi-year struggle with rigid macro coaching and what finally worked instead.

    I cover:

    • The specific neurodivergent struggles that sabotage nutrition plans
    • Why "just be consistent" doesn't work for your brain
    • What to do instead (frameworks, not rigidity)
    • How I help neurodivergent women in Body Lab

    If you're exhausted from trying plans that don't work for your brain, tune in for actionable steps that you can implement immediately.

  • 275 | Dealing with Setbacks + Failure

    We've all dealt with setbacks + failures: illness, death, moves, divorce, breakups, injury... and sometimes, it can set us back for months or even years. But they don't have to. In this episode, I talk about how to deal with specific types of setbacks, steps you can take to move forward no matter what you're going through, and how to keep your head in the game long enough for a comeback.

  • 272 | When Constant Reassurance is a Trap

    Ahhh, we've all been there. Needing constant external reassurance feels good in the moment, but puts you into a cycle of never sourcing it from yourself. Whether it's weight loss progress, relationships, or growth, it's important for us to learn how to become our own source of reassurance and comfort in the long-term.
