If you can’t stop doing mental math every time you eat - adding up calories in your head, planning your next meal based on what you’ve already had, or feeling anxious when you don’t know the numbers - this episode is for you.

Today, I’m walking you through my 5-step process to stop mentally counting calories so you can finally eat from a place of trust instead of control. You’ll learn how to calm the anxiety that shows up when you’re not tracking, how to retrain your brain to focus on what your body needs rather than what the numbers say, and how to enjoy food again without guilt.

I’ve been there - I used to track everything in MyFitnessPal, and I could tell you exactly how many calories were in a tablespoon of peanut butter. Even years later, that information is still tucked away in my mind... but it no longer controls me. That’s the kind of freedom I want for you.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

1. Why your brain clings to calorie counting even when you consciously want to stop
2. How meditation and mindfulness help you gain control over your thoughts (and stop believing every anxious thought your brain throws at you).
3. How to identify and challenge the calorie-counting thoughts that trigger guilt, fear, and “I’ve ruined everything” moments.
4. A simple reframing practice to come back to the present moment and ask, “What do I want right now?” instead of “What should I eat?”
5. Why repetition rewires your brain , and how practicing these steps daily slowly quiets the mental calorie math for good.

Grief changes everything—from how you feel in your body, to how you relate to food, to how you move through the world.

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Krista St-Germain, grief expert, master coach, and host of The Widowed Mom Podcast. After losing her husband suddenly in a tragic accident, Krista found herself navigating a kind of grief that no one had prepared her for—and realized the traditional “stages of grief” weren’t cutting it.

Now, she helps others move through loss with more self-compassion, clarity, and emotional resilience.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What grief really looks like
• How grief impacts your body, brain, hormones, and emotional regulation
• Why food becomes a common coping mechanism—and what to do instead
• The dual process model of grief (loss-oriented and life-oriented healing)
• How to tell if a coping tool is numbing or actually nurturing you
• What “post-traumatic growth” really means—and how to access it

Whether you're grieving a person, a relationship, a version of yourself—or even just feeling like you're emotionally surviving one day at a time—this episode will help you feel seen, supported, and more grounded in your own healing journey.

Because food might be part of how you're surviving—but it doesn't have to be the only way. And healing doesn't mean "moving on." It means moving with love, gentleness, and intention.

If you've ever had those days, where you feel like you're 10 pounds bigger than usual, and everything about your body is wrong - and then that voice pops in saying...
