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

You know I love a full-circle moment, and today’s episode is exactly that. Remember my client Nisha from Episode 54? She hit her forever weight of 154 pounds without dieting, calorie counting, or giving up wine.

Well, sis is back. And she's not just maintaining—she’s thriving.

In this follow-up convo, we go way beyond the scale. We talk about what it really looks like to live in your reinvention. You’ll hear how Nisha’s navigating menopause, learning to lift weights like a boss, drinking less wine without feeling deprived, and journaling her way to deeper emotional regulation.

This episode is your permission slip to stop obsessing over perfection and start focusing on peace. Because the “after” doesn’t mean happily ever after, it means you keep evolving.

Ever found yourself crushing your goals all week, only to throw it all away with one “screw it” moment on Friday night? SAME. 🙋🏽‍♀️

In this bonus episode, I share what sabotage looked like for me as a corporate consultant (hint: wine, stress, and conference snacks), why women over 40 are especially vulnerable to it, and why your weight loss journey isn’t about food—it’s about identity.

I’m also officially inviting you to my free live training on June 13, 2025 called Stop Sabotaging Your Weight Loss Journey in 2025. It’s the mindset reframe you didn’t know you needed… until now.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why perfectionism is actually a form of sabotage

• How corporate culture trained you to override your body’s signals

• Why diets don’t solve emotional eating (and what does)

• What it really takes to stop starting over every Monday
