If you’ve been eating less, watching your portions, and being “good”... but the scale won’t budge, this episode is for you.

I’m sharing why eating less can actually stall weight loss after 40 and what to do instead to break through a plateau.

Most women think discipline is the answer. The truth? It’s not just about the food on your plate—it’s about your weight identity, the deep beliefs you have about your body, and how you think weight loss should work.

When you shift both your nutrition strategy and your identity, you can finally see results that last.

Inside this episode, you’ll also hear about my client who was stuck in a plateau, even though she was following my Satisfaction Scale perfectly. What we discovered about her eating habits will surprise you and might be exactly what you need to hear right now.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why eating less backfires after 40 (metabolic adaptation explained in simple terms)

• The role your weight identity plays in keeping you stuck

• What I track in a 10–14 day Nutrition Review for my clients

This episode isn’t about some quick fix or “before-and-after” photo. It’s about the after the after. What happens when the diet ends, the weight is gone, and life throws you curveballs—like hormones, perimenopause, entrepreneurship, marriage, and stress?

I’m breaking down exactly what I did in 2014 to lose the weight, and more importantly, how I’ve stayed consistent enough to keep it off for more than a decade. Spoiler: it has nothing to do with meal plans, willpower, or eating boiled chicken.

• How I finally ditched dieting for good

• The #1 skill that helped me stop emotional eating while building my business

• Why bioindividuality is the secret to long-term weight loss (and what it looks like in real life)

• How an identity shift made consistency second nature

• The difference between losing weight for a season and keeping it off for life

Today’s episode? It’s not just a mic-drop—it’s a soul shake.

We’re wrapping up the Self-Sabotage Series by cracking open the one pattern that’s been quietly running your life: emotional eating.

You say you want to lose weight. You say you want more energy. But if you're stuffing stress with Cheetos and chasing the news with wine, your brain’s in self-protection mode—not sabotage. Wild, right?

In this episode, I’m giving you the real reason your eating feels out of control—and spoiler alert—it’s not about food. It’s about your emotions. More specifically: how you’ve never been taught to process them like the grown woman you are.

No shame, no judgment—just a powerful reframe and a super simple 3-step plan to get you back in the driver’s seat of your life and your weight loss.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why emotional eating isn’t about willpower (and never was)

• How the world’s chaos is secretly hijacking your hunger

• The dirty little secret about self-sabotage no one’s talking about

• My 3-step Stress Eating Recovery Plan to process emotions like a boss

• How to stop numbing your life and start living it

Whether your self-sabotage looks like popcorn binges, perfectionism, or workaholism, this episode is your wake-up call.

Let me say this louder for the women in the back: you cannot lose weight if you're stressed out. Period.

You’re eating clean, lifting weights, hitting your protein goals—and still, the scale won’t budge. You feel like you're doing everything right, but your body’s stuck in survival mode and holding onto fat for dear life.

In this episode, I break down what’s really going on in your body when you're stressed—and how chronic cortisol is slowing your metabolism, messing with your hormones, and blocking fat loss.

I’m also sharing my personal journey of healing from adrenal fatigue, how I reinvented my lifestyle for real recovery, and my go-to De-Stress & Rest Ritual that flipped the switch on my nervous system and got my body into fat loss mode.

🧠 It’s not just about what’s on your plate—it’s about what’s on your mind.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why your weight loss is stuck—even if you’re doing everything “right”

• How high cortisol blocks fat loss and protein synthesis

• What it really means to regulate your nervous system (beyond bubble baths)

• My De-Stress & Rest Ritual to flip your body into fat-burning mode

What if your cravings weren’t the enemy? What if you could keep cookies in the house, buy chocolate for the kids, and walk past the snack aisle like the emotionally regulated queen you are?

In this episode of Stop. Dieting. Forever., I’m flipping the script on “sugar addiction” and revealing what’s really going on when you feel like you can’t stop eating sweets. (Hint: it’s not the cookies—it’s the capacity.)

If you’ve ever said, “I’m addicted to sugar,” this episode is for you. I’m breaking down what a self-regulation gap really is, why no amount of willpower can fix it, and what it means to build emotional fitness like the grown woman you are.

This is the mindset shift that changed everything for me—and it’s one I now teach every one of my clients.

• Why your cravings aren’t a character flaw—they’re a call for emotional relief

• What a self-regulation gap is (and why you probably weren’t taught how to close it)

• The reason sugar “works” and why it’s become your go-to

• What emotional fitness actually is—and how it creates true freedom from food

• How to stop labeling yourself and start listening to your body instead
