Most women think overeating is about food. But here’s the truth: food isn’t the problem. Numbing is. In this episode of The Arm Coach Podcast, I’m exposing the hidden reason so many women stay stuck in cycles of late-night snacking, guilt, and soft arms—no matter how many diets or workouts they try. It’s not carbs. It’s not willpower. It’s the habit of numbing negative emotions instead of learning how to feel them. We’ll break down: The two red flags that reveal whether you’re numbing or truly nourishing Why numbing is problem-stalling, not problem-solving How naturally toned women respond differently to cravings and body signals The simple question that can flip everything when you’re about to overeat If you’ve ever said, “I just need to turn my brain off” while grabbing food you weren’t hungry for, this episode is going to feel uncomfortably familiar and that’s exactly why you need it. Because until you stop numbing, you’ll never hear your body’s real signals: hunger, fullness, satisfaction. And those signals are the secret to eating like a naturally toned woman. It’s time to stop escaping your feelings and start listening to your body.   Naturally Toned Woman Course Check out the Arms By Kristine Program HERE Arms + Mindset Bundle GET NOW!

You’ve been told a lie about overeating—and it’s the reason your arms still don’t look the way you want. The lie? That food is in charge. That once you start, you can’t stop. That you have an “addictive personality” and no control around food. But here’s the truth: you are not powerless. And in this episode, I’m breaking down exactly why that story has kept you stuck, soft, and frustrated—and how to flip the script so you can finally eat like a naturally toned woman. Listen in and discover: The sneaky thoughts disguised as “personality” that are sabotaging your arms. Why emotional hunger feels so real—and how to tell it apart from true hunger. How your brain’s reward system tricks you into overeating (and how to outsmart it). The controversial mindset shift that instantly puts you back in charge of food. This isn’t another diet pep talk. This is about calling out the biggest myth women over 50 are told about food—and showing you how to reclaim your power so your arms, and your life, finally reflect the strength you already have. And if this message hits home, my new course How To Eat Like a Naturally Toned Woman takes everything we cover here and shows you step by step how to apply it—so you never again have to say, “Once I start, I can’t stop.”   Naturally Toned Woman Course Check out the Arms By Kristine Program HERE Arms + Mindset Bundle GET NOW!

Are you avoiding the mirror, dodging photos, or swearing off sleeveless tops until your arms are “good enough”? In this episode of The Arm Coach Podcast, Kristine exposes the hidden danger of isolation and why hiding from your body is the very thing keeping you stuck. You’ll learn how the think–feel–act cycle is secretly running your results, why the mirror and the scale are completely neutral, and how your thoughts—not your circumstances—are what create shame, desire, and frustration.

If you’ve been convincing yourself that “removing temptation” or “avoiding triggers” is the solution, this episode will be a wake-up call. True change doesn’t come from hiding.

Whether you've labeled yourself as “inconsistent,” “unmotivated,” “emotional eater,” or just feel like you’ve let yourself go, this episode will help you rethink the way you see yourself—and show you why you are not the problem. Inside this episode: Why fitness culture pushes black-and-white labels (and why they’re outdated) How your environment—not your character—is often the real obstacle The difference between “recovering” and growing Why you don’t need a label to build consistency, strength, or trust How to start rewiring your brain without shame or perfectionism If you’ve ever felt stuck, too far gone, or just “not the type” to follow through—this one’s for you.

You’ve heard it all before: “Just be grateful.” “Other women have it worse.” “You should be thankful. You’re lucky!” But what if those well-meaning thoughts are quietly sabotaging your progress? In this powerful episode of The Arm Coach Podcast, we’re pulling back the curtain on a mindset trap that keeps so many women over 50 stuck. SPOILER: No one else is talking about it. You’ll discover how using gratitude to silence your frustration, exhaustion, or disappointment may be the exact reason your arm-toning journey feels so inconsistent. I'm unpacking why dismissing your real emotions in the name of “being thankful” keeps you stuck in patterns like starting over, skipping workouts, and emotionally eating. Here’s the truth: You can be grateful and still want more. You can appreciate your body and work to change it. You can love your life and feel disappointed by certain parts of it. This episode will teach you how to finally drop the guilt, stop resisting your truth, and start showing up consistently for yourself from a place of wholeness, not emotional suppression. Inside, you’ll learn: Why “feeling blessed” might be blocking your strength goals The subtle difference between healthy perspective and emotional denial How dismissing emotions leads to inconsistency, cravings, and broken commitments How to spot when you’re using gratitude to beat yourself up What to do instead—so you can finally make the changes you want with full self-trust This episode is the missing link between mindset and muscle and once you hear it, you’ll never think about gratitude the same way again.   Check out the Arms By Kristine Program HERE Lets connect on Instagram Listen to the podcast on YouTube
