Let's talk about unsolicited comments...because who doesn't love a side of judgment with their Turkey?!🤦🏻‍♀️ ⁠

We've all been there – when Aunt Karen not-so-subtely side-eyes your plate 👀⁠, or classically blurts out "You've gained some weight!" — or worse, when she persistently suggests you try XYZ... 🙄

As for navigating these situations, there is no rulebook for dealing with these unexpected comments BUT on this solo episode, I'm diving into the art of handling those unsolicited comments about your weight or your plate on Thanksgiving — or any holiday centered around food, really.

Tune in for some sanity-saving advice so that you can head in to your holiday dinner with at least just a tad bit more confidence! 🍽️✨

In this episode, I'm taking a deep dive into the widely propagated myth of 'losing one pound per week' as a universal benchmark for weight loss.

Spoiler alert: It's outdated, unrealistic, and guess what? It's especially unsuitable advice for petite women!

Tune it as I unravel the truth about where this silly little number comes from and why it falls short in today's understanding of weight loss. I'll get a lil' sciency on you, chat about metabolism, and why your bod is not just some calorie-burning robot.

So, if you're done with the 1-pound-a-week drama and ready to rock your own path to those health and fitness goals, this episode is gonna be your jam!

This short & sweet episode is an about overcoming perfectionism. I talk about where that critical inner voice that tells you "you're not worthy" or "enough" comes from and a little mindset hack you can use to stop feeling so ashamed about the intrusive thoughts that keep you from achieving the goals that YOU actually want to achieve — not the goals you think you should achieve to please others.

Tired of the endless cycle of diets and calorie restriction?

In this episode, I'm diving into the world of Reverse Dieting, a game-changing approach to boosting your metabolism, restoring your hormones, and finding food freedom.
