"Once I lose this weight, THEN I'll feel happy."

If you've ever said that to yourself, this episode is for you. And this isn’t to tell you to let go of your weight loss goal. This is an episode to completely rewrite the way you approach goals so that they don’t make you miserable in the process.

We set a weight loss goal and quietly attach every good feeling to it. Confident. Free. At peace. Proud of ourselves. Then we chase it in a way that feels the complete opposite: anxious, restrictive, critical, never enough. And when we finally hit the number? The good feelings last a few days, and the old thoughts come rushing back.

In this episode, I'm sharing a completely different way to look at your weight loss goal. We talk about:

→ Why the feelings you've attached to your goal are the same ones the pursuit takes away

→ The difference between happiness and joy

→ Why fear of gaining the weight back keeps you stuck

→ How unconditional self-love makes healthy habits easier to stick to

→ A simple exercise to find the three feelings you want to live in, starting today

You don't have to give up your goals. But you also don't have to wait years to feel good in your body and your life. You can start today.

DM me on Instagram and tell me your three feelings. I can't wait to read them.

If you've ever felt like you have no trust in yourself around food — like the moment you stop controlling everything, it will all fall apart — this episode is going to show you exactly why this fear exists and how to move towards more freedom and ease around food one step at a time.

In this Coaching Over Coffee session, I'm sitting down with Kendyl, a 25-year-old listener who's been in therapy for over a year, totally gets her patterns intellectually, and stilllll can't shake the anxiety around food and her body. (Sound familiar??)

What unfolds in our session is something I see alllll the time: the food stuff isn't really about food. It's about a nervous system that never learned it was safe to slow down. And here's the thing - you can't think or willpower your way out of that. Your nervous system needs evidence. And evidence only comes from experience.

In this episode we cover:

• Why food anxiety and body anxiety are often the same nervous system problem in disguise
• Why talk therapy builds awareness but doesn't always reach where the pattern actually lives
• What's really underneath the fear of eating without rules (it's not what you think)
• Why self-trust is built through experience, not intention or information
• How to treat difficult food moments as data instead of proof that you're broken
• What one small, tolerable step toward self-trust actually looks like

If you've ever felt completely obsessed or out of control around certain foods and wondered “am I just addicted to this? Is this something I'm going to have to manage forever? Is cutting it out the answer?” This episode is for you.

I was listening to a podcast about alcohol addiction this morning and it hit me so hard I scrapped my planned episode to record this instead. Because the parallels between how people describe their relationship with alcohol and how my clients describe their relationship with food are striking. And I think the conclusion a lot of people draw from those parallels - that abstinence is the answer - is one of the most damaging things in this space.

In this episode I discuss...

→The 6 real parallels between a difficult relationship with alcohol and a difficult relationship with food

→Why being high-functioning makes the food problem easier to minimize and harder to address

→What actually happens when you take the food away without fixing what's underneath

→Why abstinence from food is not sobriety - and why it creates the very out-of-control feeling you're trying to fix

→Deprivation neuroscience: why "I can't stop once I start" is usually describing what restriction does to the brain

→What I actually find underneath every "food addiction" story, without exception
