Episode 257: New Years Resolutions Are Dead... Do THIS Instead
I feel like the new year brings with it a conundrum. On the one hand, I think we’re all burned out on setting resolutions. One too many times we’ve found ourselves feeling like a failure come February.
Who wants to relive that shame spiral for the 100th time?
On the other hand, there’s an undeniable shift in the air. We become more reflective around this time of year, thinking about what we want for ourselves in the coming months. And that clean slate is so damn appealing to start anew.
So what’s a girl to do?

Episode 256: Put an End to Diet Perfectionism and the Overeating it Causes
Perfectionism. It plays out in so many facets of our life. Why? Because there is safety in perfection.
If we never mess up, if we never do anything bad, then nothing bad will happen to us.
If we can be perfect at our job we won’t get fired. If we can be perfect in our relationships no one will leave us. If we look perfect no one will reject us. If we’re perfect with our diet, we’ll finally have the body we want.
But it’s interesting, because I think in areas outside of food, we’re sort of forced to...
Episode 254: How to Break Through Excuses and Get Sh*t Done
“There aren’t enough hours in the day.”
“I’m too tired.”
“It’s been a stressful day, I deserve a treat.”
“I’m just not motivated.”
“I’ll start tomorrow.”
“I don’t want to waste food.”
These are just a handful of the things we tell ourselves day in and day out that are keeping us stuck making poor food choices, skipping the gym, and generally not following through on our health goals.
And the thing is, some people will...

Episode 247: Never Fall Off the Wagon Again with Habit Flexibility
Last week was rough. My cycle came and with it a huge wave of absolute, pure and utter exhaustion. Like, kept-nodding-off-in-the-chair-while-I-was-getting-my-hair-done exhaustion.
In this situation, it was absolutely the right call for me to trade my gym session for a walk on the trail. I was still getting movement in, but movement that actually added to my energy instead of depleting it further.
Don’t get me wrong, skipping the workout is not always the right call.
For example, if you miss your workouts 5 times a...
Episode 245: My #1 Tip for Healthy Travel (Sans Deprivation)
I just came back from a 7-day cruise and on the last night my friend Jose asked how disciplined I felt like I was during the trip.
I said, “I don’t know that ‘disciplined’ is the right word.” Discipline in this context implies willpower, sacrifice, and strict rules. That really doesn’t describe my experience on board.
The right word? Mindful. Here’s how this looked in practice…
Mindful of my hunger and satiety cues.
With lots of all-you-can-eat buffets it would be easy to go...
Episode 238: Demystifying and Overcoming Hormonal Weight Gain Part 1
This week I did something I almost never do on Instagram. I called someone out. Well not just someone, I called out a fellow weight loss coach who I actually highly respect and admire (and who has 974k followers).
In his post, he claimed experts that talk about the connection between cortisol (and other hormones) and weight gain are lying to you and just trying to scare you into buying their programs.
His argument? That if cortisol was responsible for weight gain, prisoners of war who are underfed...

Summary
Last week we started our conversation about how to become the type of person who still works out when they're tired, who still cooks when they're overwhelmed, who still goes to bed on time even when their favorite show ends with a cliff hanger and all they want to do is hit that 'next episode' button.
The long and short: how to develop the skill of discipline.
We got into some really interesting conversations last week around just the first 3 tips, so click here to...
Episode 186: 10 Things We're Leaving Behind in 2022 - Part 2
Listen In
Summary
We're 4 weeks into 2023 and I know when a new year starts we set our eyes on who we want to become.
But we sometimes forget that in order to evolve into the next version of ourselves, we have to let go of the parts of us that don't serve us anymore and that are keeping us stuck.
To be clear, this is not about judging ourselves for past mistakes we made or past versions of ourselves that no longer resonate with us.
This is about showing gratitude to those parts that helped us at one...
Episode 184: 6 Reasons Multiple Diets Haven't Worked for You
Listen In
Summary
99% of the women who come to my practice have tried every diet under the sun. They’ve tracked their food, cut carbs, timed their meals, and they are exhausted.
Exhausted from the trial and error, exhausted from getting their hopes dashed, exhausted from being unhappy in their skin.
That’s where I come in. To shed light on why their past attempts haven’t worked (hint: your body is not broken) and to pave a new path that puts an end to yo-yo dieting for good.
So if you’re wondering why the...
