About this listen

Welcome to the Isn’t She Powerful Podcast! My name is Laura Banks and I am the voice behind Isn’t She Powerful and the founder of the B.Healthy Lifestyle.


Do you want to lose weight and finally begin feeling good in your body? You’re tired of looking at pictures of yourself and thinking “something’s gotta give, that is not cute.” Maybe you’ve tried all of the diets and nothing sticks and at this point you’re scared to start something new because you might fail just like you did all of the other times. Maybe you even feel like you need a friend in your corner to hold your hand through the changes you want to make so that you can make sure this time is different, this time you reach your goals while still doing and eating all of the things you love most!


If yes, Isn’t She Powerful is the podcast for you!


I help busy, working women (teachers, moms, nurses, lawyers, etc) who are new to the health and wellness space develop sustainable healthy habits so that they can lose weight and feel great in their clothes without ever going on a diet again.


Inside this show, you’ll learn how to eat healthy meals without giving up all of the foods you love, like sweets or fast food. You’ll gain habits for sustainable, enjoyable exercise. I’ll teach you how to get great sleep, hit your water goal, and manage your stress in a way that feels good for you.


And the best part? It won’t be just me! I am bringing all of my favorite health and wellness besties to the show so that you can really make the most of our time together each week.


This podcast and my health coaching programs are a passion project for me because of my history with health and weight loss. I grew up eating the standard American diet and by the time I graduated college, I was living with some very unhealthy habits. The biggest problem for me, however, was that I didn’t know at all how to actually live a healthy life. I thought I had to slash my calories, workout all the time, and never eat things that I enjoyed ever again.


Now I spend my days teaching women how to make healthy living sustainable and enjoyable.

  • Food Noise vs. Hunger: How to Tell the Difference (and What to Do About Each)
    Feb 4 2026

    Send us a text

    Have you ever eaten a full meal… and somehow still felt like food was calling your name?

    You’re not broken and you’re definitely not lacking willpower. What you’re experiencing might not be hunger at all. In this episode, we’re unpacking the difference between true physical hunger and food noise, why both feel so real, and how learning to tell them apart can completely change your relationship with food.

    If you’ve ever felt confused by your cravings, stuck in an all-or-nothing cycle, or guilty for wanting food when you “just ate,” this conversation is for you.


    In this episode, we cover:

    • What hunger actually is and how your body communicates it
    • Common physical signs of true hunger
    • What food noise is and why it feels so loud
    • The most common reasons food noise shows up (restriction, blood sugar, stress, habits)
    • A simple check-in to help you tell hunger and food noise apart in real time
    • How to respond to hunger in a way that builds trust with your body
    • How to navigate food noise without guilt, shame, or white-knuckling
    • Why understanding this difference leads to fewer cravings and more sustainable habits


    Why this matters:

    When you treat food noise like hunger, or hunger like a problem, it keeps you stuck in cycles of restriction, overeating, and frustration. Learning the difference helps you stop fighting your body and start working with it, creating consistency without burnout.

    If you’re ready to feel more calm around food and stop questioning every craving, this episode will give you clarity and relief.

  • [On My Sleeve] Learning to Trust God: A Journey of Gratitude, Prayer, and Intuition
    Jan 22 2026

    Send us a text

    In today’s episode, I’m sharing a deeply personal conversation about my relationship with God and how it has evolved over the years.

    Faith hasn’t always looked the same for me, and it continues to grow, shift, and deepen as I learn to trust more, release control, and stay grounded in gratitude. In this episode, I open up about how my understanding of God has changed, how I connect with my Angels, and how setting intentions has become one of the most meaningful ways I pray.

    We’ll talk about moving away from fear-based faith and toward a relationship rooted in trust, surrender, and daily gratitude. I share how intentional prayer, listening to intuition, and cultivating deep trust have helped me feel supported, guided, and less alone, especially during seasons of uncertainty and growth.

    If you’ve ever felt disconnected from God, unsure how to pray, or curious about a more intuitive and personal relationship with faith, this episode is for you.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • How my relationship with God has evolved over the years
    • What my connection with my Angels looks like
    • How I use intention-setting as a form of prayer
    • The role daily gratitude plays in strengthening faith
    • Learning to trust God without needing all the answers
    • Letting go of fear, control, and perfection in faith
    • How deep trust has transformed my spiritual life

    This episode is an invitation to explore what faith looks like for you without rules, pressure, or comparison.

    🎧 Listen now and reflect on how your own relationship with God may be growing and changing.
