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.

In this episode, I break down how to use the 80/20 principle to simplify your health habits and get better results with less effort. Most of your success comes from a small percentage of what you do—and when you identify your 20%, everything becomes easier.

What You’ll Learn

• What the 80/20 (Pareto) Principle is and why it matters for your health
• How to identify the habits that create the biggest results in your energy, strength, and weight loss
• How to stay consistent on busy or stressful days
• How focusing on your health creates a ripple effect in your confidence, relationships, and overall life
• The surprising connection between the 80/20 principle and The Five Love Languages

Key Takeaway

You don’t need to do everything—you just need to focus on the few habits that move the needle. When you simplify, you succeed.

In this episode, I talk about one of the biggest challenges my clients face—people pleasing, especially around food and the holidays. December brings more gatherings, more comments, more food pushers… and more pressure to say yes when what we really want is to stay aligned with our goals.

I share why people pleasing feels so tempting in the moment and how it actually connects back to our primitive survival instincts. I walk through common situations—like taking a drink you don’t want, eating something because someone made it “for you,” or choosing food based on how you think others will judge you.

I also teach you how to stop people pleasing by:

• deciding ahead of time what you truly want,
• understanding your “why,” and
• choosing thoughts on purpose when comments or pressure come your way.

And if you’ve been calling yourself a “people pleaser,” I show you how to shift into the identity of a recovering people pleaser so you can start honoring your own decisions with more confidence.

This episode will help you enter the holidays—and the new year—feeling more grounded, intentional, and committed to saying yes to yourself.

In this episode, I share the mindset shifts and simple strategies I use — and teach my clients — to enjoy Thanksgiving or any holiday without overeating, overdrinking, or abandoning the habits that make you feel your best. I walk you through how I changed my own old patterns and how you can feel calm, confident, and in control around food during celebrations.

✨ Key Takeaways

• Why I used to overeat on holidays and the thoughts that kept me stuck.
• The mindset work that changed everything, including the belief that the day isn’t about the food.
• The thoughts I practice now, like “I can want something and not eat it” and “I want to feel good tonight.”
• The simple plan I follow on Thanksgiving so I enjoy myself without stuffing myself.
• How I manage my primitive brain, which always wants instant gratification.
• Why choosing intentional discomfort leads to feeling proud instead of regretful.

In this episode, I share the one mindset shift that helped me finally get stronger in my 40s. For years, I held myself back with the thought, “I don’t want to hurt myself.” I break down how this belief keeps so many women stuck, why avoiding challenge actually increases our risk of injury as we age, and what changed for me when I finally let go of that fear.

I also share the conversations with my son, my husband, and even insights from big-wave surfer Laird Hamilton that completely transformed how I think about strength, aging, and discomfort. This episode will inspire you to push yourself, lift heavier, and trust your ability to adapt and grow.

What I Cover

• The surprising research on muscle loss in women as we age
• The real thought that stops most women from getting stronger
• How lifting heavier (and allowing discomfort) changed my strength quickly
• Why occasional injury is part of growth—not a sign to stop
• How I balance pushing myself with listening to my body

Key Takeaway

If you want to get stronger, you must shift the thoughts that are keeping you comfortable. Building strength requires mental courage, physical challenge, and a willingness to experience small setbacks along the way. You can become stronger than you think—at any age.

In this episode, I’m diving into something that impacts every area of our lives — our emotions. I talk about the two main ways we tend to disconnect from how we feel: escaping and avoiding our emotions.

You’ll learn how emotions drive your daily actions and habits, and why understanding them is key to creating lasting change — whether your goal is to feel better in your body, improve relationships, or stop emotional eating. I’ll share how to tell if you’re an “escaper,” an “avoider,” or a bit of both, and give you tools to process emotions instead of pushing them away.

When you understand why you do what you do, you gain the power to change it — and that’s when everything in life gets better.

Listen in, and if this episode resonates, share it with someone you love to go deep with.

Maybe things in your life are fine right now. You’re comfortable, successful, even content. But deep down, you know there’s more.
