When a warning light appears on your car's dashboard, you know something needs attention under the hood. Binge eating works exactly the same way. It's not a sign you're broken or lack willpower, it's your body saying, "Hey, something deeper needs your attention."

The trouble is, most people try to "fix" binge eating by focusing on the food itself. They restrict harder, set more rules, and grit their teeth through cravings. But that approach is like slapping duct tape over your dashboard light and pretending the problem’s solved.

In this episode, binge eating coach Jane Pilger returns to help you get under the hood and understand what's really driving your binges. She explains the top reasons binging occurs, how to recognize when your nervous system is dysregulated, signs you're not eating enough, and the safety paradox that keeps you stuck in fear around certain foods. Jane also shares practical tools to regulate your energy, reconnect with your body, and build lasting peace with food.

The excitement of those first 6–12 months has faded. The scale isn't moving like before, your body feels different, and suddenly year two of GLP-1 treatment doesn't feel straightforward anymore.

This is where many people hit a wall. Progress slows, plateaus arrive, and it's easy to worry you're failing. After months of rapid changes, the slower pace feels frustrating… even defeating. Add in metabolic adaptations and the pressure of maintaining new habits, and year two can feel like uncharted territory.

But this isn't the end of your progress. In fact, it's where sustainable success begins. In this episode, we'll explore what to expect in year two and beyond, including:

• Three key mindset shifts to help you thrive past year one
• Why plateaus don't mean your medication stopped working (and what to do instead)
• How to use non-scale victories to stay motivated when the numbers won't budge
• Smart strategies to adapt your nutrition, movement, and habits as your body changes

If you've been wondering "what now?" after year one, this episode will give you the framework to tackle year two with confidence!

Ever heard that GLP-1 medications "stop working" after a certain point? It’s a common myth fueled by influencers, “coaches”, and even misinterpreted studies. But it’s not the truth.

These misleading claims can leave you feeling stuck or defeated, as if your progress has hit a hard limit. Plus, that mindset can make you overlook the real results you’ve achieved and the many strategies still available to support your health.

In this episode, I set the record straight. You’ll learn why plateaus are normal, how to see them as maintenance rather than failure, and what you can do alongside medication to keep moving forward. By the end, you’ll see why the phrase “the meds don’t work anymore” is not only misleading, but also holds you back from achieving more.

When we think of grief, we often think of death. But grief can take many forms, whether it’s the end of a relationship, a change in health, or simply realizing life doesn’t look the way we hoped. Yet most of us were never taught how to navigate it.

Instead, we’re left feeling overwhelmed, broken, and pressured to “move on.” The truth is, grief is part of being human. It touches our minds, bodies, and spirits, and it doesn’t follow tidy stages or timelines. Without understanding this, we risk judging ourselves and suffering more than we need to.

In this episode, master certified life coach Krista St. Germain shares how the sudden loss of her husband transformed her understanding of grief. Together, we explore why grief isn’t one-size-fits-all and the practical tools that can help you ride the waves when it feels unbearable. You'll walk away with permission to grieve in your own way, strategies to support yourself and others, and a reminder that even in loss, healing and growth are possible.
