  • How to Stop “Starting Over” With Food, Build Healthier Eating Patterns, and Feel More Consistent

    How to Stop “Starting Over” With Food, Build Healthier Eating Patterns, and Feel More Consistent
    2026/09/02

    Does your eating feel off after a summer with no set routine? Now, you want to feel better—without getting stuck in the failed dieting cycle that works for awhile but ultimately leaves you frustrated, right back where you started?

    In this episode, Elizabeth shares a gentler, more realistic way to get back into healthy habits that help you feel good, without jumping into another restrictive diet or getting caught in the all-or-nothing cycle.

    You'll learn:

    • How to recognize the on-again, off-again eating patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
    • Why food guilt can show up the moment a summer without structure ends, and what that may be telling you about your current relationship with food.
    • How emotional eating can creep in when stress and low bandwidth take over.
    • Why self-compassion can help you make healthier choices more consistently.
    • How to create a simple, realistic food plan that actually fits your life.
    • How habit building through one small, doable change can work better than trying to overhaul everything at once.
    • A quick way to figure out what’s been working well and what might need some attention.
    • Why your self talk around food, diets, and “getting back on track” matters.
    • How to start building more flexible and sustainable eating habits.
    • How group coaching with a nutrition coach supports the change you're already trying to make

    This episode gives you a plan flexible enough to actually hold, built around your life instead of another reset.

  • How To Let Go Of Food Guilt And Food Rules Using Intuitive Eating To Build A Better Relationship With Food / Ep 204

    How To Let Go Of Food Guilt And Food Rules Using Intuitive Eating To Build A Better Relationship With Food / Ep 204
    2026/08/26

    For so many women, diet culture never looked like a diet. It looked like discipline, like being "the healthy one," like a body image built around control. You made food rules without ever writing them down, and the food guilt that followed felt normal.

    In this episode we unpack diet mentality: what it is, the hidden ways it shows up, and how it keeps running in the background even when you've never technically been on a diet. Elizabeth shares her own years as a vegetarian who told everyone it was about health, the rush back to the gym within days of each of her babies, and the pride of being the disciplined one. Tara and Maria bring the versions they've lived and the ones they see in the women they work with.

    We also get into why diet mentality intensifies for women in perimenopause and midlife women navigating a changing body, and why intuitive eating works as an antidote to years of restriction, plus:

    • Why body control feels like being healthy and disciplined from the inside
    • What food rules sound like when they're dressed up as virtue
    • Why food guilt shows up even when you're eating exactly what you planned to eat
    • The question that tells you what diet mentality is actually costing you
    • What changes during perimenopause and midlife that make old patterns louder
    • How the wellness rabbit hole leads to disordered eating without weight ever being the goal
    • The write-it-down exercise Elizabeth gives clients to surface every hidden food rule
    • Why intuitive eating gives you a real way to challenge those rules and let them go

    Letting go of diet mentality doesn't require an overnight transformation, and this episode shows exactly where to start.

    Craving Deeper Female Friendship in Midlife? Here's Why Your Old Circle Faded and What Building Community Actually Takes Now / Ep 203
    2026/08/19
    Somewhere along the way, the friendships that used to happen on their own stopped happening. The school pickups ended, the schedules changed, and one day you looked around and realized your circle got smaller. But what if the connection you're craving is more available than you think, and the only thing standing between you and it is knowing where to start? In this episode, we're talking about why social connection changes in midlife, why the female friendship you're craving now is different from the friendship of your 20s, and what it actually takes to rebuild your village on purpose. We also share what our first women's wellness retreat taught us about what women in this stage of life are really asking for. In this episode, you’ll discover: The reason your social circle shrank without you doing anything wrongWhat changes about the connection you crave once you know what being supported actually feels likeWhy so many midlife women are braver than they were at 25, and what that bravery unlocksThe shift that happens when you stop caring what people think of youWhat a viral Facebook group revealed about how many women are craving women's community right nowWhy proximity built your old friendships and why building community now takes intentionThe first place to look when finding community and you don't know where to startHow women supporting women becomes the kind of support system that can literally save your lifeWhat the research on social prescribing says about connection and how long you liveThe one thing retreat attendees asked for more of, and what it tells you about what you're missing too You don't need a huge circle or a perfect starting point, you just need one brave yes, and this episode shows you where to find it.

  • Hurt by Someone’s Body Comments? How to Protect Your Body Image Without Explaining or Apologizing for Yourself / Ep 202

    Hurt by Someone’s Body Comments? How to Protect Your Body Image Without Explaining or Apologizing for Yourself / Ep 202
    2026/08/12
    For so many people, a single body comment has stayed with them for years. Someone remarks on what's on your plate, or how you look compared to last time they saw you, and you stand there without knowing what to say. Commenting on bodies got normalized somewhere along the way, and most of us were never given the language to push back on it. But what if you already have the right to end that conversation, and the only missing piece is knowing what to say? In this episode, we talk about what happens when people comment on your body, your food, or your weight, and what you can actually say back. Between the three of us we have lived this from opposite sides. Comments about being too thin, comments about gaining weight, comments in a larger body, comments filtered through cultural norms where remarking on appearance is the first thing out of someone's mouth. What we bring to this conversation is a range of responses that fit different relationships, different rooms, and different levels of energy on any given day. In this episode, you will discover: The reason a comment about your body says almost nothing about your bodyWhat most people never realize they are doing when diet culture teaches them that commenting is helpfulThe one question to ask yourself before you decide whether to respond at allWhy unsolicited advice about your health so often arrives dressed as concernWhat setting boundaries actually sounds like with the family member you cannot avoidWhat to say when someone celebrates their own weight lossWhy food comments at a party are rarely about the foodWhat body shaming looks like when it comes wrapped in a complimentThe part of body autonomy that requires no explanation from you to anyoneWhy food freedom includes eating without explaining your choices Protecting your body image does not require a confrontation, and this episode shows exactly what it does require.

  • Do It Scared: How Taking Action Before You're Ready Becomes Your Fastest Path to Building Confidence (and Proof You Can Handle Anything) / Ep 201

    Do It Scared: How Taking Action Before You're Ready Becomes Your Fastest Path to Building Confidence (and Proof You Can Handle Anything) / Ep 201
    2026/08/05

    What if confidence was never supposed to come before an action?

    In this episode, we're talking about what happened when each of us was forced to act long before we felt ready, and not one of us felt brave going in. The confidence showed up after, every single time, because taking action is where building confidence actually starts.

    We get into why self doubt convinces you to wait for a feeling that only arrives through experience, what it means to do it scared, and how gathering evidence from everything you've already survived becomes the proof you can handle whatever comes next, plus:

    • Why waiting to feel ready is a confidence trap that keeps women postponing jobs, relationships, and dreams for years
    • How Elizabeth went from napping through oral reports to hosting a podcast, and why it had nothing to do with waking up brave
    • Why Tara's swim to islands a mile and a quarter offshore became the memory she borrows from every time something hard shows up
    • How Maria reframes overcoming fear with her clients
    • Why outsourcing your confidence to a goal weight, a paycheck, or a milestone keeps it permanently out of reach
    • What midlife women carry that younger women don't
    • How small, simple wins stack into the self trust that makes bigger changes possible

    If you've ever put your life on hold waiting to figure out how to be more confident, this episode is your reminder that you're allowed to start scared, and that the confidence you've been waiting for is just on the other side.

  • Carrying the Invisible Weight? How Women Wellness Starts With Naming Your Emotional Stress and Body Cues / Ep 200

    Carrying the Invisible Weight? How Women Wellness Starts With Naming Your Emotional Stress and Body Cues / Ep 200
    2026/07/29

    Are you carrying emotional weight that no one else can see? Do stress symptoms show up in your stomach, chest, shoulders, or sleep? Have you ever wondered whether your body is trying to tell you something about the pressure you carry?

    In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Laryssa Creswell, a licensed clinical professional counselor, who provides trauma-focused treatment for women and teen girls and authored The Invisible Weight We Carry.

    We talk about the invisible weight women carry, how it can connect to family expectations and past experiences, and why the mind body connection matters when stress shows up physically. We also talk about what happens when medical answers do not explain the whole picture, and how we can begin noticing what is ours to carry and what is not.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • What invisible weight really means and why it can feel so hard to name.
    • How the mental load of motherhood, work, relationships, and daily life can affect your body and mind.
    • Why physical stress symptoms may be connected to emotional stress, unresolved experiences, or old family patterns.
    • How stress in the body can show up through headaches, stomach issues, chest tightness, muscle tension, exhaustion, and other stress symptoms.
    • Why women often carry an emotional load that is shaped by expectations, caregiving, and the roles they were taught to play.
    • Why past experiences can still influence present stress responses

    If you have ever felt like the stress in body is already speaking and you are carrying too much, but could not fully explain what “too much” even means, this episode will feel deeply validating.

  • The Truth About Menopause Metabolism: How to Support Energy, Sleep, and Body Changes (Without Cutting Carbs) with Jenn Salib Huber, RD, ND / Ep 199

    The Truth About Menopause Metabolism: How to Support Energy, Sleep, and Body Changes (Without Cutting Carbs) with Jenn Salib Huber, RD, ND / Ep 199
    2026/07/22

    What if menopause was never supposed to be something you had to fix?

    So many women reach midlife hearing the same message over and over: lose the weight, cut the carbs, control your body, and then maybe you’ll feel healthy, confident, and in control.

    In this episode, we’re joined by Jenn Salib Huber, registered dietitian and naturopathic doctor, to talk about what actually changes during perimenopause and menopause, why menopause weight gain can feel so loaded, and how body neutrality offers a different way to relate to your changing body.

    We get into menopause nutrition, diet culture, menopause metabolism, carbohydrates, strength, sleep, community, and why women over 40 deserve support that is rooted in nutrition science instead of fear, plus:

    • Why menopause is the end of your period, not the end of you
    • How perimenopause nutrition can support energy without cutting carbs
    • Why menopause body changes do not mean your body is broken
    • How body trust helps you stop outsourcing every food and movement choice
    • Why healthy aging is about strength, mobility, connection, and care
    • How community can become a missing ingredient in midlife wellness

    If you’ve ever felt confused by menopause advice, pressured to shrink your body, or unsure how to support yourself through this transition, this episode is your reminder that your body is not a problem to solve.

  • Soil Health and Nutrition 101: What Regenerative Organic Food Can Teach You About Trusting Your Body and Feeling Nourished Again with Sarela Herrada of SIMPLi / Ep 198

    Soil Health and Nutrition 101: What Regenerative Organic Food Can Teach You About Trusting Your Body and Feeling Nourished Again with Sarela Herrada of SIMPLi / Ep 198
    2026/07/15

    What if the food in your pantry could tell you more than what is on the nutrition label?

    So many of us walk through the grocery store looking for foods that seem healthy, easy, and nourishing, but we are rarely taught to ask where those foods came from, how they were grown, or what was lost along the way. We see beautiful produce that may have no flavor, pantry staples that all look the same, and labels that make big claims without always helping us understand what is actually in the food we are feeding ourselves and our families.

    In this episode, we’re talking with Sarela Herrada, co-founder of SIMPLi, a regenerative organic pantry brand known for beans, grains, and oils.

    And instead of stopping at the usual conversation about protein, fiber, or what to buy at the store, Sarela helps us look at the bigger picture: how soil health, farming practices, indigenous agriculture, crop rotation, and food sourcing all shape the flavor, nutrition, and impact of what ends up on our plates.

    We get into what regenerative organic actually means, why sustainable agriculture is about more than a farming trend, and how food systems affect everything from nutrient density to farmer fairness, plus:

    • Why nutrient dense food starts with the soil before it ever reaches your kitchen
    • How organic beans, grains, and oils can carry more flavor and nourishment
    • Why cooking beans from dried can be worth the extra step
    • What makes Simpli beans different from conventional pantry staples
    • Why food as medicine is not just a buzzword when we understand how food is grown
    • How indigenous agriculture has shaped regenerative practices for generations
    • Why asking where your food comes from can change the way you shop
    • What to look for when choosing better food for your everyday meals

    If you’ve ever wondered whether your pantry staples are actually supporting your health, your values, and the kind of food system you want to participate in, this episode is your invitation to start asking important questions before your food ever hits the plate.
