  • Truth vs. Myth: 5 weight loss beliefs put to the test
    Dec 14 2025

    Today, I’m diving into five of the most common weight-loss myths that I STILL hear from incredibly smart, capable, high-achieving women every single day…. myths that I want you to leave behind before stepping into the new year.

    If you’re a busy professional woman or business owner over 35 who’s tried every diet under the sun but still feels stuck… this episode is truly going to shift your perspective.

    Let’s break these myths down so you can walk into 2025 with a refreshed mindset, better habits, and a body that finally feels supported, not punished.

    ✨ In This Episode, I Talk About:

    1. “I need to eat less to lose weight.”

    Skipping meals and undereating is one of the FASTEST ways to slow your metabolism, trigger cravings, and end the day elbow-deep in the pantry. This isn’t a willpower issue… it’s a blood sugar issue.

    2. “I have to work out every day to see results.”

    Nope. You can lose weight without stepping foot in the gym.

    Most of my clients lose 8–15 kg in 16 weeks focusing on nutrition + simple daily movement like walking.

    3. “Eating healthy = fat loss.”

    This one surprises so many women. You can eat the healthiest, most wholesome meals, homemade, organic, nutrient-dense, and STILL not lose weight if your portions or structure aren’t aligned with a calorie deficit.

    4. “Carbs are the enemy.”

    This myth needs to stay in 2010. Carbs support your hormones, energy, brain function, and metabolism, especially if you're 35+.

    5. “I just need more willpower.”

    Willpower is NOT your problem, your systems are. High-achieving women are already disciplined in every other area of life… except with food, where most people are winging it.

    My Final Reminder

    You do NOT have to enter another year playing by diet culture’s outdated rules.

    You can feel healthy, confident, and in control of your food without restriction, without tracking, and without living in the gym.

  • Why the "just listen to your body" weight loss advice is keeping you stuck
    Dec 7 2025
    “The Worst Weight Loss Advice I Ever Received (And What You Should Do Instead)”

    In today’s episode, I’m breaking down a piece of advice that so many women are given… advice that sounds empowering on the surface, but actually keeps you stuck, overwhelmed, and nowhere closer to feeling healthy and confident in your body.

    That advice?

    “Just listen to your body.”

    Now… I love this concept. It can be powerful. But if you’ve spent years dieting, skipping meals, overeating at night, ignoring your hunger, or feeling completely disconnected from your body…

    Then “just listen to your body” is NOT helpful — and honestly, it can make things worse.

    This episode comes straight from my personal experience (and many conversations with clients). I’ll walk you through why this advice backfires for so many high-achieving women, and what you actually need to rebuild before intuitive eating becomes helpful and natural.

    In This Episode, I Cover:

    1. Why “just listen to your body” keeps you stuck

    If you’ve ignored hunger cues for years, eaten on autopilot, binged at night, or relied on willpower…

    Your body’s signals are going to feel confusing, unreliable, or non-existent.

    2. The missing step before you can “listen to your body”

    Before intuition comes awareness + structure.

    3. How to rebuild trust with your body

    Start with structure, build awareness, and then your body will start communicating clearly again … without willpower, without restriction, and without starting over every Monday.

  • This is what Mounjaro does in your body
    Nov 30 2025

    Today, we're diving into a topic that has been everywhere lately in your social feed, at brunch with your girlfriends, and even in doctors' offices. Yep… we’re talking Mounjaro, Ozempic, and weight loss medications.

    And let me just say this upfront:

    - There is zero judgment here.

    - This episode comes from a place of love, education, and empowerment.

    Because the truth is… so many women are being prescribed these medications without being told how they actually work, what changes happen inside the body, or how to avoid regaining all the weight later.

    So today, I’m giving you the full picture — simply, clearly, and without the hype.

    What We Cover in This Episode

    1. What Mounjaro actually does in your body

    I break down how this medication mimics two natural gut hormones (GLP-1 and GIP) and how that affects your hunger, fullness signals, digestion, and blood sugar — without boring you with unnecessary science.

    2. Why it reduces hunger and cravings so dramatically

    You’ll hear the three main physiological effects women feel immediately when they start the medication, and why many describe it as “finally having the food noise turned off.”

    3. The real reason people lose weight on it (hint: it’s not magic)

    It’s not a miracle drug, but it does make being in a calorie deficit much easier because you're simply not as hungry. The medication supports the process… but it doesn’t do the work for you.

    4. Why you may regain the weight quickly if you stop

    This part is SO important.

    If you don’t build the right habits, eating structure, and mindset while using the medication, the weight can return extremely fast once you come off it.

    That’s why I work with women who are taking these medications, because the foundation still matters.

    5. Who Mounjaro is and isn’t designed for

    You’ll learn:

    ✔ When it can be truly helpful

    ✔ Why doctors aren’t having the full conversation

    ✔ Why structure, mindset, and habits matter just as much — if not more — than the medication itself

    6. How to get the same effects without medication

    Yes - it's possible.

    In this episode, I explain how food, structure, protein, balanced meals, and lifestyle habits can naturally help regulate hunger, stabilize blood sugar, and reduce cravings… without injections, side effects, or huge costs.

    👉 The roadmap to long-term results — with OR without medication

    Whether you're considering it, already on it, or not interested at all — I walk you through what actually leads to long-term success for busy high-achieving women.
