Do you ever feel like a rational adult… until someone tells you “no wine tonight” or you catch yourself throwing a mental tantrum over not having dessert? That’s your inner toddler — the part of you that craves comfort, instant gratification, and doesn’t want to be told no. In this episode, we’re diving into why that toddler shows up, how to recognize her in the moment, and most importantly — how to lovingly lead yourself through those urges instead of giving in. And here’s the truth bomb: understanding why you emotionally eat or crave certain foods is nice — but knowing “why” won’t change your behavior. You don’t need another food psychology deep dive… you need self-leadership. We’re talking: How to stop negotiating in the pantry Why pre-deciding your food choices is an act of self-respect What to do when the toddler shows up loud and demanding The difference between punishment and loving discipline And how to become a woman you actually trust around food This episode is part mindset shift, part practical tools — and it’s here to help you stop letting your cravings call the shots.  TAKE ACTION WITH ME!!  First, girl, why have you not been to my website to see all the ways to get help and connect??  www.kendrajarratt.com The STRONG LIFE Workout App is here!

Episode Summary:In this no-nonsense episode, we tackle the two biggest fat loss disruptors for women over 40: inconsistency and the lure of quick fixes. We get real about the hard truth: You don’t need a new diet—you need to be consistent with the basics you already know. Fat loss at this stage of life isn’t about being perfect. It’s about showing up, again and again, especially when life is messy, hormones fluctuate, or motivation fades. This episode dives into: 🔁 Why inconsistency is the biggest progress killer (and how to fix it) 🚫 The emotional appeal of quick fixes—and why they always fail long term 🧠 How to build consistency without relying on motivation 🧰 The power of systems, structure, and self-honesty in your 40s and 50s 💥 Real examples from women who’ve traded “all or nothing” for “always something” We also unpack the mindset that keeps so many women stuck in the cycle of starting over every Monday—and how to finally break free by leaning into small, repeatable actions instead of flashy promises.   The STRONG LIFE Workout App is here!

Episode Summary:In this foundational episode, we break down the first essential step to sustainable fat loss in your 40s and beyond: finding your maintenance calories. Before jumping into a calorie deficit, extreme workouts, or restrictive diets, you need to know how much food your body actually needs to maintain its current weight. Why? Because without that baseline, you're just guessing—and guessing keeps you stuck. We talk about: 🔍 What “maintenance” really means (it’s not eating less, it’s eating right) 🧠 Why most women underestimate how much they eat and overestimate how much they burn 🛑 The reason cutting calories too soon often leads to burnout, muscle loss, or plateau 🧮 How to find your true maintenance through food tracking, awareness, and patience 💪 The mindset shift: before losing fat, you need to prove you can fuel yourself consistently This episode emphasizes that your metabolism isn’t broken—you're just not working with your body yet. Finding maintenance is about gathering data, building trust, and creating a launchpad for real fat loss—without wrecking your energy, hormones, or relationship with food.   The STRONG LIFE Workout App is here!
