  • Why your weekends keep stopping your weight loss and what to do about it
    Oct 19 2025

    If you ever feel like you’ve been “good” all week… eating healthy, moving your body, feeling in control only for the weekend to completely derail your progress… this episode is for you.

    I’m diving deep into the real reason why your weekends are sabotaging your results (and no, it’s not because you lack willpower!).

    We’ll talk about:

    • The mindset shift you need to stop treating weekends like a “free-for-all.”
    • How your weekend habits reveal your real relationship with food.
    • Why your weekends aren’t the exception — they’re your default.
    • The truth about “earning your weekends” and how that narrative keeps you stuck.
    • A real client example showing how small tweaks over the weekend can make all the difference.
    • The simple mindset and planning strategies that can help you enjoy your weekends and keep seeing progress.

    Here’s the thing: You don’t need to cancel brunch, skip dinners out, or stop enjoying a glass of wine.

    But you do need to stop treating the weekend like a vacation from your life.

    When you learn to make your weekends align with your goals… rather than undo your weekday progress, your entire journey becomes easier, more balanced, and actually enjoyable.

  • 5 reasons you're eating "fairly healthy" but can't lose weight
    Oct 12 2025

    In today’s episode, I’m diving into a topic that I know so many of you will relate to you’re eating healthy, doing all the “right” things… but the scale just won’t move.

    You’re having salads, smoothies, whole foods, avocado, nuts, avoiding sugar and takeout, yet nothing’s changing. You’re not alone, and today I’m unpacking why “eating healthy” doesn’t always mean eating for fat loss and the five biggest reasons why your hard work might not be paying off.

    Here’s what we cover:

    1. Your portions are off.

    Healthy foods like avocado, nuts, olive oil, and smoothies are nutrient-dense but also calorie-dense. I’ll explain how to find your “sweet spot”... eating enough to feel full and satisfied without overeating, even if it’s healthy food.

    2. Your weekends are unstructured.

    You might be on track during the week, but if Friday through Sunday becomes a free-for-all, it can undo your weekday efforts. I’ll show you how to enjoy your weekends without sabotaging progress.

    3. Your blood sugar is on a rollercoaster.

    If you start your day with coffee and a banana and skip meals, your blood sugar will spike and crash, leading to cravings, low energy, and overeating later in the day. You’ll learn how to build balanced meals that keep you full for hours and keep cravings at bay.

    4. You’re picking and grazing all day.

    A handful of nuts here, a bite of chocolate there, it all adds up! I’ll share how to break the grazing habit and bring structure back to your day so you can eat mindfully and feel satisfied after your meals.

    5. You’re simply inconsistent.

    This one’s tough love, but true. Many women are “on” during the week and “off” on the weekends. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about being consistent with a plan that’s simple, flexible, and realistic so it fits into your life.

    At the end of the episode, I share how you can start eating for fat loss without tracking calories, following low-carb diets, or restricting yourself. Because healthy eating and eating for fat loss are not the same, but when you combine them strategically, that’s where the magic happens.

    If you’ve been eating well but not seeing results, this episode will help you finally understand why and what to do next to see real, sustainable progress.

    Remember: You’re not broken. You just need a new strategy.

  • Redefining weight loss: from perfectionism to progress
    Oct 5 2025

    If you’ve ever caught yourself saying:

    👉 “If I can’t eat clean every day, why bother?”

    👉 “I overate last night so today’s already ruined.”

    👉 “I’ll just start again on Monday…”

    Then this episode is for you.

    I know this cycle well because I’ve lived it. And I see it every week in the women I coach—brilliant, high-achieving women who stay stuck in “all-or-nothing” thinking. Perfectionism feels like it’s helping you, but in reality, it’s keeping you from making progress.

    In today’s episode, I’m breaking down how perfectionism sneaks into your weight loss journey, why it leads to procrastination and starting over (again and again), and how you can finally shift to a mindset of progress over perfection.

    Here’s what you’ll hear:

    ✨ Why weight loss doesn’t require perfection… it requires consistency

    ✨ The sneaky ways perfectionism shows up in your journey

    ✨ How the “starting over on Monday” cycle delays your results

    ✨ The four mindset shifts that will free you from perfectionism:

    • I’m not on a diet, I’m building a lifestyle
    • Setbacks are normal and expected
    • Flexibility beats rigidity every time
    • Why aiming for “B minus work” will get you further than striving for A+

    This is about ditching the pressure to get it “perfect” and finally building the lifestyle that helps you lose weight and keep it off, for good.

    💡 Remember: done is better than perfect, and slow, steady, imperfect progress is what actually gets results.
