This episode is raw, real, and a little bit rebellious. I’m talking about seven things that can actually help you lose weight and feel better — and none of them involve counting macros, hitting the gym, or following a strict meal plan.

If you’re burned out, stuck, or constantly putting everyone else first (especially my high-performing moms and women out there), this is for you. I’m sharing the deeper work — the real stuff that’s helped my clients (and me) break through years of frustration. We’re talking therapy, mindset shifts, emotional blocks, and why self-care is so much more than bubble baths and green juice.

So grab your coffee, take a walk, or sit with me for a heart-to-heart. Let’s talk about what’s really going on beneath the surface — and how to start shifting it today!
