Send us a text This week we are talking about our life lines. I ask you to consider — who’s your lifeline? Not the metaphorical one, but the real, human connection that keeps you afloat when life gets heavy. We’ll dig into the interesting history of the word “lifeline,” what research says about how connection affects our health and habits, and how you can create your own H-Factor system of support. It’s practical and deeply human —you’ll leave reminded that you were never meant to do this alo...

When Laughter Becomes Strategy
Send us a text This week on Project Weight Loss, we’re diving into something that doesn’t get nearly enough credit — fun. Not the kind that just happens when everything’s perfect, but the kind you can choose, plan for, and use as strategy. In this episode, I talk about why laughter, joy, and connection aren’t distractions from your goals — they’re essential to reaching them. From a weekend in San Francisco that reminded me how powerful community can be, to research that shows fun lowers stres...

The Autophagy Maester - Yoshinori Ohsumi: The Science of Self-Renewal
Send us a text Have you ever wondered what happens inside your body when you don’t eat for a while — when you give yourself space between meals? In this week’s episode of Project Weight Loss, we explore that quiet magic with the story of Nobel Laureate Maester Yoshinori Ohsumi, whose discovery of autophagy — the body’s natural process of self-cleaning and renewal — changed how we understand health, vitality, and longevity.

Better Than Cash: The Compliment Effect
Send us a text Hey there my friends, Ever notice how one small compliment can change your whole mood? This week, we’re diving into the light, fun, and surprisingly powerful world of genuine acknowledgment — from “Your dog thinks you’re the coolest human on Earth” to “You make coffee look like an art form.” We’ll talk about what science says happens in your brain when you give or receive a compliment — and how that ties directly to your Project Weight Loss journey.

On Acceptance
Send us a text This week on Project Weight Loss, we’re talking about the powerful practice of acceptance — not as resignation, but as a way to stop fighting yourself and create space for real change. I’ll share how acceptance can help you break free from perfectionism, find peace with where you are, and take values-driven action toward your goals. Plus, we’ll look at research from Forman & Butryn and others showing that acceptance-based approaches actually support weight loss and emotiona...

Touch Grass
Send us a text This week, I’m talking about screens, social media, AI — and what it means to live well in a world that’s always online. I share stories about raising my kids, my own walks and speed walks this week, and a moving conversation with a young man who stepped away from the online rabbit hole and found peace. We’ll look at research on how too much time online can lead to anxiety, depression, and compulsive checking behaviors — and why compartmentalizing our digital life may be one of...

Flour Spiral
Send us a text This week we’re tackling a food we all know and love: flour. But is it really as harmless as it seems? Join me as I break down the surprising science of refined flour, cravings, and hormones—plus how a few small shifts can help you take back control of your weight loss journey. We’ll talk about why flour is classified as an ultra-processed food, how it hijacks hunger signals, and why it can make weight loss feel harder than it should. Don’t worry, I’ll make it simple, light, an...

Habit Stacking
Send us a text This week on Project Weight Loss, we’re talking about habit stacking — the easier way to create change without relying on willpower. From Franklin to BJ Fogg to James Clear, the wisdom is the same: small steps, stacked on what you already do, become powerful routines. As Aristotle said, “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” This week’s quote: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” – Aristotle...

New Dawn
Send us a text Hello my dear friends, Today I’m taking you behind the scenes of our Pacific Crest Trail adventure — how we planned it, what gear made the cut, what we actually used, and the lessons I brought back home for Project Weight Loss. Because what happens on the trail is a lot like what happens in life: we plan, we adapt, we struggle, and we discover. And sometimes, it’s the little things — rest, love, support — that make all the difference. I’ll share the surprises we faced, the mome...

Grandpa Tree & the PCT
Send us a text This week’s episode is a shorty, my friends, but one that’s close to my heart. 🌿 I’m sharing a glimpse of our recent Pacific Crest Trail hike—through my eyes and my honey’s. From the beauty of wildflowers to the stark art of burned trees and lava rock, this journey reminded me that nature speaks in contrasts. Come walk with me for a few minutes, and see the trail not just for the miles, but for the discoveries along the way. ✨ Quote of the Week: “In every walk with natu...

Fail Better
Send us a text This week, we’re talking about a word that gets a bad rap — failure. If you’ve ever been on your wellness journey and found yourself saying, “I’ve blown it” or “I can’t do this,” this episode is for you. I’m sharing stories that have inspired me — from an ancient philosopher who lost it all, to a bestselling author who almost quit — along with my own story of one last try that changed everything. By the end of our time together, I hope you’ll see “failure” in a wh...

The Running Maester – Coach Chris Bennett
Send us a text So, I have a question for you — what if running wasn’t really about running? What if it was about something deeper… something you need to hold on to right now? In this week’s episode, I’m talking about someone who’s become kind of a running philosopher for me — Coach Chris Bennett, Nike’s Global Head Coach. If you’ve ever needed a little push, a little grace, or a little space to just start something — anything — this one’s for you. I’m also sharing a few how-to gems from him t...

Money, Bricks & Heart: My Real Estate Lessons (Part 3)
Send us a text Hey my beautiful friends! This week, we’re taking a bit of a different trail on the Project Weight Loss path—same concept of losing the things weighing you down. And money, has a way of triggering us, but it can also be something that helps us and others. So, we are hiking not just a money trail, a brick-and-mortar trail; rather, a heart-led journey through real estate and finances. Through this process of prepping for my Pacific Crest Trail hike (yes! Cascade Locks, her...

Lessons Learned: A Note from the PCT-Trail
Send us a text This week’s episode is deeply personal. As I walk through the Pacific Crest Trail, I’m reflecting on some of the most important lessons life has taught me. Before I left, I created a cover letter for my will, trust, and medical directives—that process sparked a beautiful request from my family: to share the wisdom I’ve gained, not just about weight loss or project management, but about living. Really living. So today, I share some of the most humbling, transformative lessons I'...

Bold Steps
Send us a text Hey my beautiful friends! This week, I laced up my sneakers and ran a 5K… and let me tell you, it was not as easy as I thought it would be. Even with all the hiking I’ve been doing, jogging reminded me that growth doesn’t always feel graceful. But that’s the thing—it doesn’t have to. In this episode, I’m diving into the power of boldness—what it means, how we can cultivate it gently, and why it matters so deeply for our physical and emotional wellness. I’m sharing some t...

Hope Can Be Stronger Than Fear
Send us a text This one is close to my heart. I’ve been hiking through Oregon, taking in the beauty of the Sisters Wilderness—yes, those Three Sisters: Faith, Hope, and Charity. And with the International Day of Hope coming up on July 12th, I felt like the universe was nudging me to pause and really reflect. So, this week, I’m inviting you into that space with me. We talk about hope—not the fluffy kind, but the kind that carries weight. The kind that walks beside us when things are toug...

Running Light, Running Right
Send us a text I’ve trained for endurance in all kinds of ways—some smart, some not-so-much. This week, I’m sharing how I built a jogging routine that actually works with my life, not against it. Whether I’m prepping for a thru-hike or squeezing in a jog before the day takes over, I’ve learned that movement can be reshaped to meet you exactly where you are. If you’ve ever wanted to jog but felt too slow, too tired, or too unsure of where to begin, I’ve been there. I’m bringing you stories fro...
