the load is lifting.

Financial stress, relationship stress, life load. It is all sitting on your scale in ways nobody is talking about. This week something in my load lifted and I want to explain exactly what that means for a GLP-1 journey.

My husband got a promotion this week.

And the first thing I felt underneath all the excitement and pride was physical relief. Like something in my body exhaled that had been holding on for a long time.

Today’s free episode is about that. About what financial stress and life load actually do to your cortisol, your body, and your results on this journey. About why the scale is sometimes measuring things that have nothing to do with what you ate. And about what happens when the conditions around you finally shift.

If the scale is quiet but you are still showing up, this episode is going to remind you why that matters. And it is your sign to finally come inside.

Today’s free episode is about all the signs your GLP-1 is working even when the scale is not moving. Because the scale is one measure. It is not the only one. And if you have been wondering whether any of this is actually doing anything, this episode is going to show you it is.

It is also my birthday month and I am offering a completely free thirty day trial right now. Come in, experience everything, and decide from the inside. » Start Here «

If you have been treating your body like the obstacle between you and your goals, this episode is going to shift something. This is your free episode of the week.

How do you talk about your body? Not to other people. To yourself.

For a lot of people the body has become the enemy. The thing that refuses to cooperate. That betrays them with a bad weigh in after a good week. That holds onto weight it should be releasing.

Today’s episode is about the shift from betrayal to response. Because those two frameworks lead to completely different experiences of this journey. And one of them is exhausting you in ways you might not even be fully aware of.

you never had to earn the right to start living

You have been waiting for someone to tell you it is okay to live your life before you reach your goal weight. This is that episode.

A creator I respect asked a question this week that I have not been able to stop thinking about.

What do you want to be known for?

My answer came immediately. I want to be known as the person who gave people permission to stop putting their lives on hold.

Today’s free episode is about that. About the permission so many of us are waiting for someone else to give us. About going on the trip, taking the picture, wearing the swimsuit, eating the cake, and building the life while you are still becoming the person you want to be.

Also, Elara has the biggest discount I have ever seen them run. Tirzepatide starting at $193 a month. Semaglutide starting at $115 a month. If cost has been the reason you have been waiting, the link and code are in the show notes.

This is your weekly free episode. Paid members get Girl Code Daily every single day, Monday through Saturday, for three dollars a month. Come join us.

Life transitions are where health journeys go quiet.

My summer officially ended this week. And I have been thinking about what that means for this journey because I think it means something for yours too.

Because here is what I know after three years of doing this. Transitions are where things go quiet. Not because you stop caring. Because the conditions change and the habits that lived comfortably in one season do not automatically survive the shift into a busier one.

Today we are talking about the anchor. The one thing that keeps you tethered to this journey when life gets full and the routine bends and everything else is pulling at you. And why figuring out what yours is right now, before the season changes, is the most important thing you can do for your results.

This is your free episode of the week. Paid members get this every single day, Monday through Saturday, before the day starts. If you have been thinking about upgrading, now is the time. Do not go into your next season without something holding you in.

What You Missed in Paid This Week

Here is everything that dropped inside the paid community this week.

Episode 20: The Last Week On transitions, what they do to your journey, and why figuring out your anchor before life gets loud is the most important thing you can do right now.

Your GLP-1 Stall Isn’t in Your Food. It’s in Your Allostatic Load. The article that explains why your cortisol is running the show and what to actually do about it. This one hit 1.9k views.

Episode 21: Recovery Is Not a Reward The third piece of the SSR series. What recovery actually is, why presence is the most underrated tool you have, and the one thing your nervous system has been waiting for you to give it.

Monday Focus (Week 4) The community thread where members shared what they were locking in for the week. 15 comments. People showed up.

Episode 22: The All In Fantasy Why you keep wanting to overhaul everything and then talking yourself out of it thirty minutes later. Spoiler: the pull back is not the problem. The surge is.

Wednesday Check In (Week 5) 24 comments. People were real this week. This is the community that actually shows up for each other.

The Scale Didn’t Break You. It Made You Fluent in Lying to People Who Love You. The article that went somewhere unexpected. This one is not about the scale. It is about what we learned to do to survive it.

Episode 24: The Weekend Mindset What is actually happening in your head between Friday and Monday. The off switch, the white knuckle, and the third option nobody talks about. Keep the thread.

Friday Wins + Community Roundup (Round 4) Your people showed up this week. Wins were shared. Progress was celebrated. This is what the community looks like on the inside.

The all in feeling is not motivation.

You know the feeling. Out of nowhere you are ready to change everything. Overhaul the whole thing. Go completely all in. You are planning, you are motivated, you are already imagining the version of you on the other side.

And then thirty minutes later you are like. Actually. No. I am good.

And then you feel bad about yourself for not going all in when you had the chance.

Today we are talking about why that happens, what it actually is, and why the pull back is not the problem you think it is.

You were never supposed to wait until goal weight to start living.

Today’s free episode is brought to you by Elara.

Elara is the telehealth provider I use and trust for my GLP-1 journey. If you have been sitting on the fence about starting or switching, use code JULYSTART at checkout and get your first month of LipoC completely free. No strings attached.

What have you been putting on hold?

The trip. The clothes. The class. The thing you keep telling yourself is for after. After you lose more weight. After you feel ready. After you get there.

Today’s episode is about why after is not coming the way you think it is. About what three years on this journey has taught me about permission and presence and why the version of you that is here right now, still in the middle of it, not at the finish line, is not a draft.

She is the whole thing. And she is allowed to live.

This one got personal. I think it is going to hit somewhere deep.

For anyone who keeps starting over on Monday. You need this ep.

Perfect weeks followed by crash weeks. On the plan, off the plan, starting over, crashing again.

That cycle is not a motivation problem. It’s a mindset problem.

Today we’re talking about why 10% better every day beats 100% every now and then. What it actually looks like in real life on a regular Tuesday. And how to stop writing off the whole day just because it didn’t go perfectly.

This is your free episode of the week. The rest of the week, I’m in your ear every single day for paid members.

progress over perfect, always.

I started a podcast.

Just me, talking to you. No fancy production.

This is the first episode and I’m sending it to everyone because I want you to hear what this is before I tuck it behind the paywall where it lives going forward.

Today we’re talking about the Invisible Phase. The stretch where you’ve already been losing, you’ve already seen it work, and then the scale just stops. And you’re doing the exact same things. Nothing changed. Except the results did.

If you’re in that right now, this episode is for you.

Every episode after this one is for paid members only. If you’ve been thinking about upgrading, now is the time. Pricing goes up July 1st. Lock in the lowest price this Substack will ever be. After that it’s gone.

Come in before July 1st. Lock it in. And get every episode, every deep dive, and everything else inside the community for the price it is right now.

lock it in babe

rooting for you always,

I've worked with four GLP-1 telehealth companies. And after three years in this space I have some things to say about why creators keep getting blamed for a system they didn't build.

This is not a drama video. This is an honest conversation about what's actually happening in the GLP-1 telehealth landscape, why some creators seem like they're pushing too hard, why others go quiet without explanation, and why the skepticism your audience feels is real but maybe pointed in the wrong direction.

I'm also sharing what I look for now before I say yes to any partnership, and what changed after four companies and a lot of lessons I wish I'd learned cheaper.

The full written breakdown is on my Substack this week, free for everyone. And on Friday my paid subscribers are getting the behind the scenes version, including what a real influencer contract actually looks like and the questions you should be asking before you sign up with any telehealth company.
