The BLT’s (bites, licks and tastes) are the little things that you eat that you don’t think matter.  But everything counts and those little seemingly insignificant bites of this, tastes of that, and licks of the other are adding up.  Listen up and let me give you concrete personal examples of how I have had to learn this the hard way and also how it might happen to you.

The reality is that you have probably had a priority thatyou self-sacrificed at some point in life because you felt you had to.  Then you started perimenopause and your hormonesstarted to change at which time you might have looked in the mirror and wondered, “Who the fuck am I?”  It is time toprioritize yourself and that starts by setting boundaries.  Listen up and as I take you through some examples of what boundaries look like and how to get started taking back yourlife.

I will often hear women say, “Suddenly I blinked and I can’tfit into my clothes’” or “I’ve changed nothing and suddenly nothing works anymore.”  In this episode I challenge thesebeliefs.  For most women in perimenopause and menopause there are many life changes.  Everything you think has not changed actually is changing, it is just very gradually, gradually, suddenly.  So all of the excuses you give yourself for gaining weight are not true.  Weight gain does not happen overnight and the same is true for weight loss.  Listen upand let me explain how gradually, gradually, suddenly has created the you that you see in the mirror and how it can also help to transform you.

I am so fucking done chasing skinny.  I am no longer interested in the low calorie, dieting down, excess cardio lifestyle.  WhenI realized that my body was better at being strong, my life got a lot easier and a natural side effect is that my body has never been as lean.  Listen up and let me explain.

Intentional maintenance is harder than weight loss, which iswhy everyone fucks it up the first time.  The good news is that the best way to learn something new is to practice. In this episode I take you through the common struggles with maintenance and share how to succeed in maintenance rather than relying on dieting over and over again.

There is nothing more exciting than starting something new,but (spoiler alert) motivation usually lasts for about 7 to 14 days.  The reality is that the real work you need to do, the work that you just don’t want to do, is the boring F@CK’N middle.  It is the rinse and repeat and there is nothing shiny or exciting about it.  When we look at those who are successful and maintain their weight loss and those who don’t, it was because the successful 2% were able to get comfortable in the boring.  Listen up as I explain how to alter your habits and mindset to see incredible results.

Join me as Dr. Leslie Yaffa and I talk about checking off the boxes.  There are many expectations that have been put upon women by society, family, themselves etc.  Some of those expectations might have felt fulfilling and some you may have fulfilled merely out of obligation.  In this episode we are going dive deep into figuring out what those checkboxes are that we were told to complete in life and decide if they are bringing true fulfillment or it is an illusion of fulfillment.  In perimenopause and/or menopause it is a time in life for you to be authentic and define your own success, not what society approves.  Listen up and let us nudge you to start to shift the narrative and decide whether you need to change your mind on what your life looks like.

Macronutrients are carbohydrates, fats and proteins.  Most people count macronutrients in order to lose weight.  Being in a calorie deficit is necessary for weight loss but where those calories come from is going to determine what you see in the mirror and how you are going to feel.  Counting macros will help determine your overall adherence and your long term success.  Listen up so I can explain.

I often hear women say they’re worth it, but they don’t value themselves enough to make the change they know they need to make.  I have seen the cost of when women don’t invest in themselves and it is heartbreaking. The cost of not investing in yourself becomes the time and energy that you spend hating yourself.   Don’t let money hold you back – YOU ARE WORTH IT!  Listen up and let me explain.
