If you’ve ever finished a meal feeling full but still wanted “something else,” this episode explains why. I talk about the missing piece of eating well: satisfaction. You’ll learn how diet culture has taught us to see enjoying your food as a problem, why ignoring satisfaction often leads to overeating, and how bringing joy and sensory awareness back to your meals helps you eat more intuitively. This episode will help you reconnect with what food is meant to be, nourishing, satisfying, and enjoyable, and show you how honoring that balance can completely change the way you eat.

In this episode of 'Showing Up Anyway', I talk about the challenges of maintaining healthy habits while traveling. I was away from the show for two weeks while I hopped from NYC to Atlanta. Travel reminded me how tricky it can be to keep the healthful habits you have at home. In this episode I share how to handle food, movement, and mindset on the road so you can come home with memories, and at the same time, still feel good in your body.

She's a personal trainer, parent of one (and one on the way), and we talk here about what health really looks like during pregnancy and parenthood.

What happens when you’re doing all the “right” things but the scale isn’t budging? What if weight loss never happens? Would the effort still be worth it?
In this episode, I dive into the tough (but necessary) question behind so many stalled or discouraged wellness journeys: What’s the point of all this if I’m not losing weight? This conversation started with a client who felt torn about intuitive eating because she still desperately wanted to see the number go down. And what unfolded was a powerful reminder about what actually changes when we step away from restriction and start showing up for our health in deeper, more sustainable ways.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the sneaky marketing tactics restaurants and fast-casual chains use to make their food seem healthy — even when it’s not. I'll explain the “health halo” effect that uses buzzwords like “natural,” “organic,” and “fresh,” and you’ll learn how psychology and sales tactics impact you every time you open a menu.

Trying to eat well, move your body, or even just remember to drink water can feel impossible when you have ADHD. In this episode, I'm joined by one of my WrightFit coaches, Emilee Bogdan, who also lives with ADHD. Her and I discuss the challenges you'll face and the tools you'll need to stay healthy and fit with a neurodivergent brain.

In this episode, I invite you to explore a radical new approach to self-worth and body image: body neutrality. Instead of chasing smaller numbers or forcing self-love, I walk you through the middle ground. You’ll learn why ditching the scale might be the most freeing move you can make, and how to start measuring your progress through non-scale victories (NSVs) that actually reflect your growth, healing, and quality of life.
This episode gives you the tools — and the permission — to let go of shame and start showing up with respect and compassion.
What We Talk About:
Your Challenge This Week:
Notice one non-scale victory each day. Write it down. Big or small — they all count. Whether it’s enjoying food without guilt, moving your body for joy, or skipping the scale altogether — these moments build real, lasting change.

If you’ve ever thought, “I know what to do — so why can’t I just do it?” you're going to love this episode.
In today’s episode, we’re breaking down why building healthy habits (especially around food, movement, and self-care) feels so hard — even when you’re motivated. We’ll talk about what’s actually going on in your brain, why willpower isn’t the answer, and how to make lasting changes that don’t rely on punishment or perfection.

Let’s talk about something no one really teaches you: how to stop eating when you’re full—and why that’s so hard.
This week, we’re turning the spotlight on fullness: what it feels like physically and why it’s so emotionally complicated. Maybe you were raised in the “clean plate club.” Maybe you feel guilty leaving food behind. Maybe fullness was something you were shamed for. Or maybe you’ve just spent so long dieting that you honestly don’t know what fullness even feels like anymore.

If you've been feeling overwhelmed by the world lately—if the stress, fear, and exhaustion have been hitting harder than usual—and you've noticed it showing up in your relationship with food, you're not alone. In this episode, we explore emotional eating through the lens of survival. From the weight of current events to the quiet chaos of everyday life, we're talking about why reaching for food can feel like the only way to cope—and why that's not something to be ashamed of.
We unpack the difference between true emotional eating and simply being undernourished, overlooked, or overextended. We also walk through the most common emotional triggers for eating, how to recognize them, and what to do when food becomes a stand-in for comfort, connection, or control. Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that in hard times, doing your best is enough—and there are ways to care for yourself without turning against your body in the process.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for feeling hungry, tried to push past it, or waited until you were lightheaded to finally eat—this episode is for you.
In today’s conversation, we’re breaking down the real meaning of hunger. Spoiler: it’s not a problem to solve, it’s a signal to honor.
We’ll explore:
💬 One of my favorite reminders from this episode: “Let hunger be information—not ammunition.”
You don’t have to earn food. You don’t need to justify being hungry. You just have to show up for yourself.
🎧 PLUS: I talk about what it means to honor your hunger without guilt, how trauma and food insecurity can affect hunger signals, and how to rebuild trust if you’ve been disconnected from your body for years.

What if the guilt you feel around food isn’t actually about food—but about a rule you didn’t even know you were following?
In this episode, we unpack what food rules are, where they come from and how they quietly shape your relationship with food, hunger, and your body. I’ll walk you through two reflective assessments to help you spot the rules running the show—then share how to start letting them go.
We’ll talk about:
Whether you're new to intuitive eating or deep in the process of unlearning, this episode is your reminder: you weren’t born with food rules. And that means you can let them go.
Food Rule Self-Assessment:
Do you count calories, macros, or points, obsessively?
Do calories determine what or how much you’re allowed to eat?
Do you feel you must eat perfectly to be healthy?
Do you follow rules about what time of day it’s okay to eat?
Do you avoid snacking, or feel guilty when you do?
Do you try to avoid specific foods entirely, like carbs or fat? (excluding medical reasons)
Do you eat differently when others are around?
Do you compare what’s on your plate to what others are eating?
Do you have rules around drinks—like you can only drink things with no calories?
Do you have rules around needing to work out to “earn” your food?
Do you believe carbs or sweets should be limited or avoided?
Do you weigh or measure your food to get the perfect serving size?
Do you keep a mental list of “off limits” foods?
Family Food Rule Assessment:
In this episode of Showing Up Anyway, Adam opens up about why he no longer uses before and after photos—and what finally made that decision clear. He unpacks how these images, no matter how well-intentioned, often reinforce diet culture and reduce people to their bodies. Instead, Adam shares what real transformation looks like when you focus on mental health, habits, and self-worth. If you've ever looked at a photo and questioned your progress, this one’s for you.
