Ever wondered if counting macros is just another restrictive diet—or if it could actually help you feel more empowered in your weight loss journey? This episode will give you major clarity.
In today’s guest episode, I’m joined by the incredible Amber Brueseke—mom of four, former RN, personal trainer, and founder of Biceps After Babies. Amber is living proof that your fittest days can come after babies (and yes, even in your 40s), and she’s here to challenge everything you think you know about dieting and sustainable weight loss.
We’re breaking down how macro counting isn’t about eating less—it’s about eating smarter. Amber shares how she used data, not deprivation, to align her nutrition with her goals (and why she ate ice cream every night and still got abs). From building muscle to feeling energized, we talk about using food as a tool—not a punishment—and how to ditch the “all-or-nothing” mindset that keeps so many women stuck.
Amber breaks down the difference between using macros as a tool vs. treating them like another restrictive diet, how to get out of the all-or-nothing mindset, and why your “fittest self” might still be ahead of you (even in your 40s, 50s, and beyond).
One of my favorite parts of this episode is when Amber introduces the “macro scientist” mindset—where curiosity replaces judgment and numbers become neutral. Whether you’ve been burned by calorie counting in the past, feel stuck in all-or-nothing thinking, or you’re deep into your mindful eating journey—this conversation offers a fresh, freeing perspective on what’s actually possible.

GLP-1s like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are everywhere right now—on social media, in ads, and maybe even in your own medicine cabinet. Are they magic? Are they cheating? Maybe even wondered should YOU be on one?
In this long-overdue episode, I’m cutting through the confusion with my honest, no-BS take on GLP-1 medications—what they actually do (and what they absolutely don’t), the biggest myths no one’s talking about, and my real thoughts as a weight loss dietitian and coach. I’m sharing stories from real clients, the muscle loss nobody warned you about, and what you actually need to focus on if you want long-term, sustainable results—GLP-1 or not.
We’re talking appetite vs. emotions, why so many women regain weight after stopping meds, and the non-negotiable mindset shifts you have to make if you want to keep the weight off—plus, my honest answer to “Should I take it?”
If you’re on GLP-1s, curious about them, or feeling all kinds of ways about this whole convo, this episode is 100% for you. Let’s get real about healing your relationship with food and your body, so you can feel FREE—whether there’s a prescription in your bag or not.

One year. Two kids. 35 pounds lost.
Ezra just turned one (!!), and today I’m pulling back the curtain on my 1-year postpartum weight loss journey. From healing physically and emotionally, to navigating breastfeeding, business, and mom life with two kids—this past year has been full of growth (not just the baby kind).
If you’ve ever wondered what it really looks like to balance life with two kiddos, run a business, keep up with breastfeeding, AND lose the baby weight—this episode is for you. I’m sharing the not-so-glam postpartum truths, from losing 35 pounds (without tracking a single macro or going on any wild diets!) to learning to trust my hunger cues, finding joy in simple movement (hello, walking desk life), and kicking “bounce back” culture to the curb once and for all.
Plus, I’m serving up allll the honesty around asking for help, setting boundaries, and forgiving myself when I just can’t do it all. (Because, uh, who actually can?!)
Whether you’re in the trenches of postpartum or just love a little peek behind the curtain, this one’s got it all—heart, mindset shifts, and that reminder you don’t have to do it perfectly to be proud of your journey.
Let me know on IG (@the.mindful.nutritionist) if you love these super real-life updates (or if you think I should have a third kid—jury’s still out, lol). And remember: you DON’T have to “bounce back”—you get to rebuild, stronger than ever.

Ready for swimsuit season...or kinda freaking out? Girl, SAME. If you’ve ever said, “I’ll wear that swimsuit when I lose 10 more pounds,” or you find yourself dreading summer because you’re struggling to feel confident in your skin (especially if you’re on a weight loss journey), this episode is for you!
In today’s super real talk, I’m sharing 10 mindset and body image shifts you NEED to get out of your head and actually enjoy summer—yes, even if weight loss is still in progress. We’re ditching the “I’ll love my body later” mindset and jumping into what will actually have you feeling grounded, proud, and confident while rocking that swimsuit (no matter what the scale says).
We’re making confidence an inside job—this isn’t about getting to your “goal weight” first. Plus, I share personal stories (like postpartum struggles and swimsuit drama) and the exact shifts that helped me, and my clients, feel free in our bodies now (not someday).
If you’re ready to have an actually fun and confident summer in your own skin, tune in—we’re making this the summer you show up (even before you “get there”). You’ll leave with 10 practical tips to choose from, a little homework, and SO much encouragement.

Ever feel like you’re doing all the right things—meal planning, moving your body, working on your mindset—but NOTHING seems to be happening? The scale won’t budge, the jeans aren’t fitting any differently, and you start thinking, “What’s the freaking point?!”
If you’ve been stuck in what feels like a never-ending plateau or wondering if your hard work is even making a difference, this episode is your pep talk, strategy session, and permission slip to keep going. Because here’s the truth: progress often looks invisible before it shows up externally. And most women quit right here—right before the breakthrough. Not you.
Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on my own major plateaus (think: two separate times I wanted to quit for MONTHS) and sharing exactly how to keep going even when you don’t see results… yet. We’re getting real about why your habits are working (even if you can’t see it), why consistency always beats intensity, and how focusing on your journey—not the ‘ideal’ or someone else’s Instagram highlight reel—changes everything.
Whether you’re plateauing, burned out, or just wondering if your efforts are worth it, this episode is your reminder: just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it’s not working.
If you’re ready to ditch the all-or-nothing mindset and actually enjoy your journey, this one’s for you.

Jackie

Anyone else nail their meals and workouts Monday through Thursday, only to have a long weekend (hello, 4th of July BBQs, cocktails, and late nights!) throw you way off track? 🙋♀️ Yeah, I’ve totally been there—every Friday, the wheels come off, and by Monday the guilt is REAL.
This week, we're getting brutally honest about why weekends are the #1 source of summer weight gain (spoiler: it's not lack of willpower, it's sneaky triggers!). From emotional eating to mindless snacking, I’m sharing the exact 3-step system I (and my clients) use to CRUSH self-sabotage—without giving up fun, dessert, or any holiday celebrations.
Inside this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why you spiral on weekends, and how to spot your biggest triggers
- My go-to “speed bump” strategies that stop autopilot eating in its tracks
- How to harness the power of the pause—yup, 90 seconds can change everything
- How to handle emotional, social, and environmental triggers like a pro
- Proof that you don’t need to be perfect to make progress (goodbye, all-or-nothing thinking!)

Ever feel like if you can’t do something perfectly, there’s no point doing it at all?
Yup. Welcome to the all-or-nothing mindset—a.k.a. the #1 reason most women stay stuck in the diet-binge-repeat cycle.

Whether you’re procrastinating, waiting for the perfect time, or feeling paralyzed by unrealistic expectations, this episode will help you break the cycle and start taking messy, aligned action right now.
If you’re ready to ditch the mental drama and make peace with imperfection (while still losing weight), this one’s for you.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- How perfectionism turns into procrastination—and keeps you stuck
- Why the “messy middle” is where real weight loss happens
- How to pivot with purpose and build momentum (even on your worst days)
- 3 mindset shifts that will help you stop starting over
- Real stories from clients who dropped all-or-nothing thinking and hit their goals
PLUS I’m sharing the exact journal prompts, mantras, and mindset tools I use with my Mindful Weight Loss Academy clients to help them reset faster and feel proud of their progress—even when things aren’t perfect.

Ever find yourself spiraling at summer parties—saving up calories, skipping meals, and then binging on chips, booze, and regrets?
Same, friend. I used to dread summer events, too. But this year? We’re flipping the script.
In today’s episode, I’m giving you 5 powerful, practical tips to help you enjoy summer AND still lose weight—without food guilt, all-or-nothing spirals, or pretending you don’t want the damn dessert.
If you’ve ever panicked about gaining weight back during vacation season or found yourself stuck in a binge-restrict cycle after every barbecue…this one’s for you.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- How to stop “saving up calories” and anchor your day instead
- Why defining your alcohol threshold is a total game-changer
- My go-to post-event ritual that replaces guilt with clarity
- A super simple method to stop overeating at parties
- How to think like a “summer CEO” (a.k.a. Hot Girl Summer...rebranded)
This is everything I wish I had on my weight loss journey when summer used to throw me off track. It’s time to show up to every pool party, BBQ, or vacay feeling confident, in control, and still making progress.
Let’s do summer differently this year.
xoxo,
Jackie

Ever feel like you’re constantly thinking about food, judging your body, or wondering if you’ll ever feel normal around either? You’re not alone—I’ve been there too.
In this powerful episode, I sit down with licensed therapist Natalie Rose to unpack the deep emotional roots behind disordered eating, body shame, and the fear of weight gain—especially for women who’ve spent years tying their worth to a number on the scale.
Natalie shares her raw, relatable journey from childhood body image struggles and binge-restrict cycles to orthorexia and chasing “health” through perfectionism. But her story doesn’t end there. Through years of therapy, self-reflection, and professional training, she found true freedom—not just with food, but in how she sees and values herself. And now, she’s helping other women do the same.
We explore why healing has to come from within, what it really means to detach your self-worth from a number on the scale, and how to move through body image struggles with radical compassion (not another plan to “fix” yourself). Natalie also offers perspective on how social media fuels comparison and what to do when those old shame triggers resurface.
Whether you’re in a season of healing or still stuck in the “once I lose the weight, then I’ll be happy” trap—this episode will give you the mindset shifts, emotional insight, and permission you didn’t know you needed.

Jackie

Ever feel like you have to choose between losing weight and actually feeling good? Like it’s either restriction, protein bars, and exhaustion—or total chaos with food and weight gain?
In this powerful client interview, Jackie sits down with Mindful Weight Loss Academy graduate Lindsay to unpack her journey from chronic dieting and Optavia dependency to finding food freedom, healing her relationship with her body, and finally feeling energized, strong, and satisfied.
Lindsay shares what it was really like to spend $600/month on pre-packaged meals, how she lost her hair and energy in the name of “health,” and how she broke free from the cycle of guilt, all-or-nothing thinking, and food obsession. Through mindful eating, real-life tools, and deep mindset shifts, Lindsay discovered what sustainable weight loss truly looks like—and how that transformation rippled into her relationship with her daughters, her self-worth, and her joy.
If you’ve ever feared that eating more would cause weight gain—or wondered if real freedom around food was possible—this episode is a must-listen. Lindsay is living proof that you can have your tacos, your health, and your peace too.

Ever feel like you're stuck in a cycle of “starting over” every Monday?
Let’s be real: perfection isn’t the goal—resilience is. In today’s solo episode, I’m getting real about why your COMEBACK rate—not your calorie count or perfect streak—is the real secret to lasting weight loss.
This is one of the most powerful mindset shifts I teach inside Mindful Weight Loss Academy, and I guarantee it's going to change how you think about “falling off track,” emotional eating, and those not-so-great weekends. Spoiler: everyone slips. The difference? What you do next.
Inside this episode, I share:
- The 5-step comeback strategy I teach my clients (and live by myself)
- How my client Christine lost 40 pounds WITHOUT being perfect
- Why starting over is keeping you stuck—and how to break the cycle
- The magic of “this is data, not drama”
- The comeback routine you NEED to build for long-term success
Plus, I’m sharing comeback mantras, power statements, and a behind-the-scenes peek at how we coach through these tough moments inside MWLA.
Ready to bounce back faster and finally build momentum? Let’s do this!

Ever feel like losing weight should be easier than this? Like the cravings, the setbacks, the lack of motivation must mean you're doing something wrong? You’re not. In fact—if weight loss feels hard, it might mean you’re finally doing it right.
In today’s powerful episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what sustainable weight loss really looks like—including the messy, frustrating, imperfect parts no one talks about. I’ll walk you through why those “one step forward, two steps back” moments aren’t failures—they’re actually the building blocks of lasting change.
You’ll learn my 3 biggest mindset shifts to help you stay motivated when progress feels slow, how to reframe setbacks as signs of growth, and why the struggle is often where real transformation begins. Whether you’re navigating emotional eating, inconsistency, or feeling totally stuck—this episode will give you the encouragement and strategy you need to keep going.
Let’s stop pretending weight loss is always easy—and instead learn how to handle the hard parts like a total boss. This is where lasting results are built.

Binge eating is one of the most common yet misunderstood struggles many of us face—including me! If you’ve ever felt like you’ve lost control around food, binged in secret, or dealt with the shame that follows, this episode is for you.
In today’s deeply personal episode, I’m joined by Michelle Yates, a registered dietitian with a master’s in health psychology. Together, we dive into the biological, psychological, and societal factors behind binge eating while also sharing our personal journeys with disordered eating.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
🔬 Why binge eating happens – Understanding the biological triggers & psychological drivers behind it.
💛 Self-compassion in recovery – How to learn from binges without guilt or self-judgment.
🚫 How perfectionism & self-sabotage keep you stuck – And the mindset shifts you need to break free.
🤝 The importance of a support system – How to build one that truly helps your healing journey.
🛑 Practical tips for stopping binge eating – Actionable strategies for lasting change.
Both Michelle and I have been where you are, and we understand how isolating binge eating can feel. Whether you’re struggling with it yourself or know someone who is, this episode is your sign of hope and a step toward healing.

Ever wish you could go back and start your weight loss journey over—but with all the wisdom you have now?
That’s exactly what I’m sharing in this episode. After losing 65 pounds (and keeping it off through two pregnancies, postpartum, and all the real-life stuff in between), there are 5 big things I’d do differently to make the journey easier, less stressful, and so much more sustainable.
In today’s episode, I’m breaking down:
🥗 Why healing your relationship with food should come before calorie deficits
🏃🏻♀️ How I’d approach exercise without the all-or-nothing mindset
⚖️ The truth about the scale and how it used to control my emotions (and how I broke free)
🍽️ How to simplify meals without stressing over rigid meal plans
🧠 The mindset shift that changed everything for me (and why becoming “her” matters more than doing more)
PLUS a little bonus tip that helped me ditch perfectionism and stay consistent for good!
Whether you're stuck in the restrict-binge cycle, obsessed with your meal plan, or constantly second-guessing your progress on the scale—this episode is your permission slip to do it differently. These are the things I wish someone told me when I first started.
Feeling ready to make a change that lasts? Dive in, and let’s make weight loss that much more sustainable and fun together!
