If you’ve been eating better, moving more, trying to stay consistent… but you’re still not seeing progress, this episode is for you.

Instead of focusing on diet tricks or quick fixes, I’m talking about what matters most when it comes to real, lasting weight loss:

✨ mindset
✨ honesty
✨ emotional patterns
✨ sustainable habits
✨ and learning how to measure progress beyond a number

I share the most common hidden reasons women feel stuck, the mental shifts that create long-term change, and how to stop letting the scale control your mood, confidence, or motivation.

This conversation will help you feel clearer, more empowered, and ready to keep going — without falling back into restrictive dieting.

If you’ve ever thought…

• “Why isn’t this working?”
• “What am I missing?”
• “Shouldn’t the scale be moving by now?”

…you’re going to want to listen to this one all the way through.

I’m talking about something that can completely change the way you approach weight loss, movement, habits, and even your mindset:

Pleasure. Fun.
Not the “vacation” kind… the kind you’re choosing on an average Tuesday.

Most women don’t associate pleasure with what it takes to reach their goals. They associate change with:

• hard
• exhausting
• restrictive
• frustrating

And that disconnect is exactly why so many women feel stuck.

✨ Why this topic matters

Here’s the truth:

On an average Tuesday, you’re choosing pleasure all day long.

And the pleasure you’re choosing might be:

• helping you build the body + life you want
  OR
• quietly keeping you stuck

The goal of this episode is to help you see those choices clearly, and learn how to redefine pleasure so your goals start feeling exciting again.

In this episode, I’m sharing one of my favorite book recommendations: The Gap and the Gain by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy.

The big idea is simple: the way I measure my progress determines how happy I feel. If I measure myself against where I want to be, I create frustration and “not enough” energy (the gap). If I measure myself against how far I’ve already come, I build confidence, momentum, and pride (the gain).

I explain how this shows up in real life, with weight loss and health goals, where people can overlook major wins just because the scale didn’t move. But also in every area of life.

When you focus on what's missing, you create misery; when you focus on how far you've come, you gain momentum.

Enjoy!

In this episode, I talk about why weight loss does matter—and why we’re allowed to want it.

I share my own story of being stuck in an exhausting on-and-off cycle with food, dieting, and shame, and how everything changed when I learned to lose weight sustainably.

I explain why weight loss is transformative when you fix the real problem behind overeating, and what life looks like on the other side: feeling confident, peaceful, sexy, and free from obsessing about food and your body.

This episode is for women who know they want more—for their body, their mindset, and their life—and are ready to stop quitting on themselves and go all in.

In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with one of my clients and friends, Katie, to have an honest, real conversation about food, midlife, menopause, mindset, and what it actually takes to create lasting change.

Katie had been listening to this podcast for a long time before we worked together. She understood the concepts intellectually. She wanted things to change. But like so many women, she found herself stuck in the cycle of trying hard, tightening down, losing control, and then blaming herself.

In this episode, we talk about what finally shifted.

Katie shares what it felt like to go from feeling helpless around food to feeling calm, grounded, and in control—without dieting, restriction, or perfection. We talk openly about menopause, inflammation, exercise no longer “working” the way it used to, and the cultural story that midlife weight gain is inevitable.

We also dive into something bigger than weight loss.

Katie explains how learning to manage her thoughts—not just her food—changed how she shows up with her kids, her husband, her work, and even her aging parents. One of my favorite moments in this conversation is when she shares how the mindset tools we use helped her respond differently to everyday stress instead of numbing out with food.

We also have an honest conversation about using GLP-1 medications as a tool. Katie shares why she chose to use them, the stigma she felt, and why mindset work is still essential if you want the results to last—whether you’re on medication or not.

If you’ve ever:

• Felt like you should be able to do this by now
• Wondered why what worked in your 30s and 40s no longer works
• Felt stuck consuming information but not creating real change
• Or worried that focusing on food might negatively impact your kids

…this episode is for you.

Katie’s story is a reminder that you’re not broken—and that real freedom around food is possible at any age when you stop relying on willpower and start changing how you think.

Save your spot in my next Free Webinar ( Your Year of Change) HERE.

In today’s episode, I walk you through one of my favorite end-of-year practices: asking what is truly possible for you in 2026. This isn’t about surface-level goals or New Year’s resolutions that fade by February. This is about intentionally creating your life—your body, your habits, your mindset, and the woman you are becoming.

I share powerful reflection questions to help you move from consuming information to actually creating change. We talk about how you want to feel in 2026, what you want to create in your body, health, relationships, money, and life, and who you need to become to make those things real. I also explain why big goals matter—not because you must hit them perfectly, but because of the confidence and self-trust you build along the way.

You’ll learn:

• Why focusing on feelings (not just outcomes) creates sustainable change
• How to think bigger than your past results
• The importance of identity, beliefs, and daily intention
• How choosing a Word of the Year can anchor your growth
• Why allowing discomfort is part of real transformation

If you want 2026 to be the year you stop starting over and start living intentionally, this episode is for you.

As the year comes to a close, I’m inviting you to pause before setting new goals. In this episode of Modern Body, Modern Life, I guide you through a simple but powerful end-of-year life audit to help you reflect on your health, habits, mindset, and life.

We talk about how to review the past year without shame, recognize what actually worked, and release habits, stories, and responsibilities that no longer serve you—so you can move into the new year with clarity and confidence.

In This Episode, I Cover:

• How to do an end-of-year life audit
• Reflecting on health, habits, and personal growth
• Letting go of negativity, old stories, and burnout
• Creating clarity before setting new goals
• How consistency (not perfection) creates real change

I also share details about Modern Change, my 12-week group coaching program for women who want to lose weight permanently and feel stronger, healthier, and more confident.

🎧 Listen now and give yourself the gift of reflection before the new year.

In this episode, I share my honest thoughts on the new landscape of weight-loss drugs and why the deeper mindset work behind weight loss will never become obsolete.

I also introduce the new name of my 3-month program — Modern Change — where I help women lose 10–15 pounds permanently by learning the mindset, emotional intelligence, and habits that create lifelong results. Enrollment opens Monday 12/22/25 and you can get all the details and enroll here: www.modernbodymodernlife.com

I talk about:

• Why I'm not here to give medical advice or debate pros/cons of weight-loss drugs
• Why judgment around these medications — especially among women — is hurting us
• The importance of supporting women in whatever choices they make for their health
• What weight-loss drugs don’t do: teach emotional mastery, habit building, self-trust, or long-term skills
• Why this work still matters deeply, whether or not someone uses medication
• How I want to think on purpose about other women — with more compassion, less judgment, more love

My stance: You get to choose what’s best for your body, and I’m here to support you either way.
Mindset, emotional regulation, honesty with yourself, planning, and self-trust will always matter.
