Let me say this louder for the women in the back: you cannot lose weight if you're stressed out. Period.

You’re eating clean, lifting weights, hitting your protein goals—and still, the scale won’t budge. You feel like you're doing everything right, but your body’s stuck in survival mode and holding onto fat for dear life.

In this episode, I break down what’s really going on in your body when you're stressed—and how chronic cortisol is slowing your metabolism, messing with your hormones, and blocking fat loss.

I’m also sharing my personal journey of healing from adrenal fatigue, how I reinvented my lifestyle for real recovery, and my go-to De-Stress & Rest Ritual that flipped the switch on my nervous system and got my body into fat loss mode.

🧠 It’s not just about what’s on your plate—it’s about what’s on your mind.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why your weight loss is stuck—even if you’re doing everything “right”

• How high cortisol blocks fat loss and protein synthesis

• What it really means to regulate your nervous system (beyond bubble baths)

• My De-Stress & Rest Ritual to flip your body into fat-burning mode

What if your cravings weren’t the enemy? What if you could keep cookies in the house, buy chocolate for the kids, and walk past the snack aisle like the emotionally regulated queen you are?

In this episode of Stop. Dieting. Forever., I’m flipping the script on “sugar addiction” and revealing what’s really going on when you feel like you can’t stop eating sweets. (Hint: it’s not the cookies—it’s the capacity.)

If you’ve ever said, “I’m addicted to sugar,” this episode is for you. I’m breaking down what a self-regulation gap really is, why no amount of willpower can fix it, and what it means to build emotional fitness like the grown woman you are.

This is the mindset shift that changed everything for me—and it’s one I now teach every one of my clients.

• Why your cravings aren’t a character flaw—they’re a call for emotional relief

• What a self-regulation gap is (and why you probably weren’t taught how to close it)

• The reason sugar “works” and why it’s become your go-to

• What emotional fitness actually is—and how it creates true freedom from food

• How to stop labeling yourself and start listening to your body instead
