In this episode of Fat2Fierce® The Confidence Chronicles, I’m sharing what it feels like to step into this season of life with changes in my body, grey hair, and turning 50, and how I’m learning to embrace it all with self-compassion and curiosity.

I share seven lessons from this chapter, including celebrating pivots without punishment, feeling proud of your body, and seeing aging as a true gift. If you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated, or self-critical during life’s transitions, this episode is a reminder that you are not broken—you are evolving.

What do you do when motivation dries up?

In this episode of Fat2Fierce® The Confidence Chronicles, I talk about the myth of constant motivation and why it isn’t what keeps you moving forward. I’ll share the habits, routines, and “default choices” that help me stay consistent, plus two recent stories and how I chose not to give up.

This conversation is all about building self-trust and persistence, showing yourself that you don’t quit even when it’s hard. Because motivation comes and goes, but consistency is what creates lasting change.

🎧 Listen in, and if you’re ready to stop relying on motivation and start building self-trust with food and your body, book a free connection call with me.

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about my recent journey through menopause, the discovery of high insulin, and what it all means for my body and my health. For months, I carried the weight of frustration (pun intended), doing all the “right” things yet seeing no change. Getting some answers has shifted things for me. I now have a better understanding of what’s happening, which feels empowering.

I’ll share why I see menopause as a milestone worth celebrating, how I’m reframing what my body is asking of me, and why compassion and curiosity matter more than willpower. If you’ve ever felt confused by your body or stuck in a cycle of frustration, this conversation is for you.

And by the way... I recorded this while in a bit of a funk. Because sometimes, the most meaningful conversations come from our real, unpolished moments.

Last year, I gained 20 pounds. This year? The scale hasn’t budged despite all the effort, including giving up refined sugar for an entire month. It's frustrating, and I’m not going to sugarcoat that (pun intended). But instead of letting the frustration win, I’ve been shifting my perspective and looking for the wins that don’t show up on the scale. In this episode, I’m sharing my own story and a client’s story of hitting a plateau and refusing to give up. You’ll hear why maintenance can be a win, how care beats shame every time, and why the stories we tell ourselves are the fuel that keeps us going. If you’ve ever wanted to quit when the scale won’t move, this episode is your reminder: you’re not alone, you’re not failing, and your persistence is worth more than the number.

In this final part of the series, I’m talking about what it means to feel free in your body, especially when diet culture and fatphobia have made that feel impossible. I’ll share how this work helped me stop comparing myself to other women, what shifted the day I wore a swimsuit in public for the first time as a mom, and a moment with my daughter in the grocery store that still sticks with me. If you’ve ever wondered whether this kind of freedom is possible for you, I want you to know: it doesn’t start after you've lost the weight. It starts the moment you stop fighting yourself.

If you’ve ever felt like you should know what to do around food but still end up overeating, you’re in good company. In part two of this three-part series, we’re delving into what it truly means to rebuild self-trust after years of strict food rules, disregarding hunger cues, and feeling disconnected from your body. We'll explore why trust feels so out of reach (especially after decades of dieting), what self-trust actually looks like in everyday life, and how to start building it gently through small, consistent promises to yourself. This episode is full of stories, practical insights, and compassionate reminders to help you stop outsourcing your power and start coming home to yourself.

Struggling to “just stop” overeating? It’s not a lack of willpower. In this first episode of a powerful 3-part series, we break down what the overeating cycle looks like, why it keeps repeating, and what truly disrupts it. You’ll hear real client stories, learn how to recognize emotional, physical, and mental triggers, and explore tools that help you pause, get curious, and make conscious, self-honoring choices without shame or restriction. Peace with food isn’t about more control. It’s about clarity, compassion, and coming back home to yourself. If you’re ready to shift from autopilot to awareness and start reclaiming your power around food, this episode is for you.

If you’ve been carrying the invisible weight of overeating, self-doubt, and feeling disconnected from your body, this episode is for you. We're not talking about another plan or fix from the outside; we're shifting the lens entirely.

In this conversation, I’m inviting you to look inward. To explore what it means to break the cycles, rebuild self-trust, and feel truly free in your body, from the inside out. Because the struggle doesn’t just show up at mealtime, it affects how you move through your day, how you feel about yourself, and how you live your life.

By the end of this episode, I hope you feel lighter, more empowered, and more in charge than when you pressed play.
