One of the reasons I love coaching so much is because of the deep, transformational work we get to do—not just around what we’re eating, but why. In this episode, I’m sharing some stories about emotional eating and the “go-to” foods we often reach for when feeling stressed, sad, mad, or even excited. For me, it was buttercream icing. For one of my clients, it was peanut butter. We discovered those foods weren’t random—they were emotionally charged and tied to memories of comfort, love, and belonging. I’ll walk you through why this awareness matters, how it can help you reclaim your power around food, and why you don’t have to give up your comfort foods—you just get to enjoy them on your terms. Bring a pen and your favorite drink—we’re going there today.

In this vulnerable and powerful episode, I talk openly about my recent weight gain—and the wave of old stories it brought with it. Stories like “I’ve failed,” “There’s something wrong with me,” and “I need to fix this.” Even as an Emotional Eating Coach, I’m not immune to these thoughts—especially in perimenopause and after decades of dieting. But this time, I’m choosing a different path. No quick fixes. No shame spirals. Just curiosity, compassion, and support. If you’ve ever felt like your progress has stalled or that you’re somehow “back at square one,” this episode is a reminder that you’re not starting over—you’re going deeper.

Ever feel like you’re stuck in a food guilt Groundhog Day where every weekend ends with “Ugh, I’ll just start again on Monday”? For years, I lived in that cycle: restrict, rebel, regret, repeat. Mondays felt like a reset, but they just dragged me deeper into the shame spiral. In this episode, we’re calling out the toxic patterns that keep you chasing food perfection and unpacking the real reason the “fresh start” mindset keeps backfiring. We’ll explore how diet culture fuels the all-or-nothing thinking, how guilt feeds emotional eating, and what it looks like to reclaim your power—with food, with your body, and with how you talk to yourself. If you’ve ever felt like you had to earn your worth back after a weekend of “messing up,” this episode is your wake-up call. Because the path to peace doesn’t begin on Monday—it begins when you choose compassion over control, and love over guilt.

In this episode of Fat2Fierce®: The Confidence Chronicles, we’re digging into the real weight so many of us carry—and it’s not on the scale. It’s in our thoughts. That quiet voice saying, “I’ll never figure this out” or “Something must be wrong with me” can do more damage than any binge or skipped workout. I’m breaking down how these thought patterns form, how they keep us stuck, and how to start shifting them—one small, truthful thought at a time. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still not making progress, this one’s for you. Because sometimes, the heaviest thing we need to lose is the story we keep telling ourselves.

Have you ever had a moment where you realized the answers you’ve been searching for were right in front of you all along? In this episode, I’m sharing my biggest takeaways from my time at the Biggest Loser resort, the powerful lessons I learned about clearing negative thoughts, and how trusting my intuition—rather than following diet rules—transformed everything for me. If you’re ready to release the guilt and start trusting yourself again, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I’m sharing how I handle a bad day in real time. I woke up feeling awful—physically, mentally, and emotionally—after eating too much sugar and salt the night before. The self-defeating thoughts hit hard, and instead of spiraling, I decided to share my experience. In this episode, I talk about what led to this rough morning, how I chose to handle it (without making it worse), and some practical things you can do when you’re having a bad day. Because let’s be honest—we all have them. And it’s not about being perfect; it’s about showing up for yourself, one choice at a time.

In this episode of Fat2Fierce® The Confidence Chronicles, I’m sharing what’s been on my heart—our society’s obsession with weight as the ultimate measure of health. After decades of dieting, I know how easy it is to get swept up in the messaging that ties our worth to the scale. Even as a coach, I recently caught myself falling into that trap. Join me as I unpack the toxic diet culture that shapes our beliefs, share my personal struggles with weight loss pressure, and offer powerful mindset shifts to help you redefine health on your terms. True well-being is about so much more than a number. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the diet cycle or questioned your relationship with food and your body, this episode is for you. Let’s break the cycle and step into something better together.

What if I told you that you get to choose—every single time? In this episode, we’re breaking down the illusion that food is in control and uncovering the truth: you have the power to decide. I’ll share my journey from feeling powerless over food to realizing I always had a choice (even when it didn’t feel that way). Plus, I’ll walk you through simple but powerful questions to help you pause, check in, and take back control—without guilt or shame. Because when it comes to your relationship with food, you are in charge.
