  • 81. Why You’re So Tired (And It’s Not Just the Kids): A deeper look at mental load, decision fatigue, and the real reasons moms feel depleted
    Jul 8 2025

    Do you wake up thinking, “I slept last night - why am I still so tired?” Well friend, this episode is for you. We are going beneath the surface — into decision fatigue, mental load, and why moms feel constantly depleted. I’m going to help you understand the invisible emotional and cognitive burdens you carry daily — and offer some beginning steps toward relief.

    This episode is for the truly tired mamas, and the tired isn’t just physical. Decision Fatigue is the mental wear-down from making hundreds of choices daily. Your brain is clocked in even when your body is ‘off.’ That’s real work.

  • 80. Peace in 5 Minutes or Less: Small, Doable Practices to Help Moms Reset Emotionally During Chaotic Days
    Jul 8 2025

    Is your house loud and chaotic? Does your brain spin daily? Does your patience feel paper-thin? If you said yes, then this episode is your exhale.

    Nobody talks about why moms get emotionally stuck in the chaos, but we need to normalize it. There is constant overstimulation: the noise, the needs, and the decisions to be made. We try to suppress it and hold it all together because everyone needs us to have it all together until we finally snap and explode. We need a break, but then we feel guilty for taking a break. We believe we just don’t have time to reset.

    In this episode, we’re talking small, doable resets that take 5 minutes or less — to help you come back to peace, even when everything else feels loud. This is for the busy, overwhelmed moms who need practical, bite-sized emotional resets they can use anytime — even in the middle of toddler tantrums or work-from-home chaos.

  • Episode 77: 3 Reasons Why You Should Eat More to Lose Weight
    Nov 5 2024

    When women come to me to work together on their nutrition, I always end up hearing so many sad stories. These women are living lives where they’ve been skipping meals for years in order to lose weight. When they do eventually end up eating, they are terrified of carbs or eating over the 1,200 calories we've all been conditioned to think is a "magic" number. The nutrition world has come so far, and yet, the bad advice given years ago just won’t seem to go away.

    When your goal is weight loss, you do need to be mindful of the calories you consume. However, when you aren’t eating enough, your weight loss efforts can be hindered as well.

    Let’s talk about 3 reasons why you should actually be eating MORE in order to lose weight.

    In this episode, we cover:
    • Eating more (not less) to lose weight

    • How the restriction of calories can lead to self-sabotage

    • How the right type (not just the amount) of food matters

    • Why adequate calorie consumption is essential for optimal health in all areas

    MORE ABOUT FEED YOURSELF: HEALTHY HABITS FOR THE MIND, BODY, & SOUL PODCAST:

    Feed Yourself: Healthy Habits for the Mind, Body, & Soul is all about learning the key components of overall health based on Biblical principles. When most people think about getting in shape and becoming “healthy”, they immediately think about their physical health: losing weight, making exercise a priority, possessing flexibility and endurance, and remaining disease free. But Scripture makes it clear that physical wellness is not the only area that impacts health. In order to be TRULY healthy, we have to focus on four areas: spiritual health, emotional health, mental health, and physical health.

    This podcast dives deep into the tools and head knowledge you will need in order to create lasting results, but it also looks at the element that truly ties it all together - the heart knowledge that incorporates faith in God in this area of our lives and how to apply it when things get tough (and they will!).

    I wanted to create a space to let you know you are never alone on this journey. Through years of experience in doing everything the WRONG way, I am here to share my journey of getting healthy from the inside out - ditching the restriction and diet culture and truly learning to treat my body as the temple God intended it to be.

    Grab a cup of coffee and join me as I discuss healthy habits to incorporate in your daily life to propel you forward and FEED YOURSELF on your journey to health in all areas: mind, body, and soul!
