In this episode, we're digging into the perfectionist mindset that keeps so many people spinning their wheels when it comes to health, fitness, and nutrition. You’ll learn what perfectionism really is, how it shows up in your daily habits, and why it makes progress feel so hard to hold onto.

We talk about:

• The difference between doing things well and feeling like you have to do them perfectly
• Why all-or-nothing thinking shows up in your food and movement habits
• What family dynamics, trauma, and diet culture have to do with your mindset
• The impact of this thinking on your physical and mental well-being
• How social media feeds perfectionism and makes flexibility feel like failure
• Real strategies to shift your thinking and build habits you can return to
• A client story that shows what lasting progress actually looks like

In this episode, we’re breaking down the sneaky marketing tactics restaurants and fast-casual chains use to make their food seem healthy — even when it’s not. I'll explain the “health halo” effect that uses buzzwords like “natural,” “organic,” and “fresh,” and you’ll learn how psychology and sales tactics impact you every time you open a menu.

I also cover:

• Why “clean eating” sells (and why it’s mostly BS)
• What moral licensing is and how it tricks your brain into eating more
• How to tune out the marketing noise and trust your body instead

Trying to eat well, move your body, or even just remember to drink water can feel impossible when you have ADHD. In this episode, I'm joined by one of my WrightFit coaches, Emilee Bogdan, who also lives with ADHD. Her and I discuss the challenges you'll face and the tools you'll need to stay healthy and fit with a neurodivergent brain.

We talk about:

• Executive dysfunction
• Forgetting to eat, ignoring hunger cues, and the binge/crash cycle
• Sensory food issues
• Meal prep challenge
• How to exercise without relying on motivation
• Self-worth, body image, and overstimulation

In this episode, I invite you to explore a radical new approach to self-worth and body image: body neutrality. Instead of chasing smaller numbers or forcing self-love, I walk you through the middle ground. You’ll learn why ditching the scale might be the most freeing move you can make, and how to start measuring your progress through non-scale victories (NSVs) that actually reflect your growth, healing, and quality of life.

This episode gives you the tools — and the permission — to let go of shame and start showing up with respect and compassion.

What We Talk About:

• Why the scale isn’t a reliable (or kind) measure of health
• What body neutrality is (and how it differs from body positivity)
• Why forcing body love can backfire — and what to try instead
• What real progress looks like through non-scale victories (NSVs)
• How to unhook your self-worth from your weight and appearance
• Reframing “fitness goals” in a body-neutral way
• Common pushbacks to body neutrality — and how to respond to them
• The long-term benefits of shifting to a weight-neutral health approach
• How to build a more sustainable and joyful relationship with food, movement, and your body

Your Challenge This Week:

Notice one non-scale victory each day. Write it down. Big or small — they all count. Whether it’s enjoying food without guilt, moving your body for joy, or skipping the scale altogether — these moments build real, lasting change.

If you’ve ever thought, “I know what to do — so why can’t I just do it?” you're going to love this episode.

We’re breaking down why building healthy habits (especially around food, movement, and self-care) feels so hard — even when you’re motivated. We’ll talk about what’s actually going on in your brain, why willpower isn’t the answer, and how to make lasting changes that don’t rely on punishment or perfection.

You’ll learn:

• What a habit really is and how it’s formed.
• Why your brain clings to old behaviors.
• The spiral of healing and why setbacks don’t mean you’ve failed.
• Science-backed strategies to make habits stick — without shame.
• How to turn small, repeatable actions into lifelong change.

This week, we’re turning the spotlight on fullness: what it feels like physically and why it’s so emotionally complicated. Maybe you were raised in the “clean plate club.” Maybe you feel guilty leaving food behind. Maybe fullness was something you were shamed for. Or maybe you’ve just spent so long dieting that you honestly don’t know what fullness even feels like anymore.

We’re unpacking:

• Why fullness is NOT a failure
• How diet culture glorifies hunger and demonizes satisfaction
• What “emotional fullness” is (and why it sometimes feels sad to stop eating)
• How childhood patterns around food still show up at your dinner table
• What it really feels like to be full (hint: it’s not always obvious)
• The difference between stopping because you’re satisfied vs. stopping because you “should”
• How to break free from the clean plate habit—and stop when your body says “I’ve had enough”

If you've been feeling overwhelmed by the world lately—if the stress, fear, and exhaustion have been hitting harder than usual—and you've noticed it showing up in your relationship with food, you're not alone. In this episode, we explore emotional eating through the lens of survival. From the weight of current events to the quiet chaos of everyday life, we're talking about why reaching for food can feel like the only way to cope—and why that's not something to be ashamed of.

We unpack the difference between true emotional eating and simply being undernourished, overlooked, or overextended. We also walk through the most common emotional triggers for eating, how to recognize them, and what to do when food becomes a stand-in for comfort, connection, or control. Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that in hard times, doing your best is enough—and there are ways to care for yourself without turning against your body in the process.

• I have a hard time saying no, even when I really need to.
• I don’t always feel supported by my family when I’m going through something.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for feeling hungry, tried to push past it, or waited until you were lightheaded to finally eat—this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, we’re breaking down the real meaning of hunger. Spoiler: it’s not a problem to solve, it’s a signal to honor.

We’ll explore:

• Why hunger feels scary (and how diet culture made it that way)
• How to recognize your unique hunger cues
• What it means to trust your body again
• The connection between hunger, self-care, and emotional awareness
• The hunger scale (0–10) and how to use it as a tool, not a test

💬 One of my favorite reminders from this episode: “Let hunger be information—not ammunition.”

You don’t have to earn food. You don’t need to justify being hungry. You just have to show up for yourself.

🎧 PLUS: I talk about what it means to honor your hunger without guilt, how trauma and food insecurity can affect hunger signals, and how to rebuild trust if you’ve been disconnected from your body for years.
