We’ve all heard the headlines about GLP-1s. The miracle weight-loss meds. The quick fix. The controversy. But what does it actually feel like to live it? Nicole has been my client for 18 months and a year ago she started Zepbound and has lost nearly 60 pounds. But that’s not the only story. The story is about what happened underneath the weight loss—the food noise that finally quieted, the skill work that still had to happen even with the meds, and the life she’s living now that no diet...

A 2.5-minute reel about a guy telling 18-year-old me my stomach “wasn’t his type” blew up on TikTok. The views and follows were cool, but they were far from the best part. That goes to the women who showed up in the comments. Women in their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s sharing the one sentence from their parents, boyfriends, trainers and random men they dated that changed the course of their lives--and not in a good way. In this episode, I read a few of those jaw-dropping comments, explain why th...

If I overeat chips at lunch, is it okay to skip the carb at dinner to “make up for it”? That’s the question one woman asked me at a recent workshop — and it’s one of my all-time favorite topics to talk about because we’ve all been there. I used to live in that “checks and balances” mindset with food. The constant math in my head, the promises to “be good later,” the bargaining with myself to undo whatever I just ate. It felt logical, but it ultimately made eating way more stressful — and it k...

You don’t need more hours in the day — you need more energy. This week, I’m breaking down why traditional “time management” advice doesn’t actually work, and what to focus on instead. Because you can have all the time in the world and still not have the mental capacity to do the thing you planned. We’ll talk about: The real difference between time and energy managementWhy doing less might be the key to doing moreHow to build your own “good, better, best” options when your energy tanksThe simp...

Ever wonder why meal prep is just so damn hard? Turns out it’s because meal prep isn’t just ONE thing to do. It’s actually ten little things to do. Which is the case for SO MANY tasks that feel hard and overwhelming. In this episode, I share a surprising story (involving my hair of all things 🙃) that reveals why meal prep—and honestly, anything that feels “too hard”—isn’t as impossible as it seems. You’ll learn: Why “meal prep” isn’t one task, but a whole chain of tasksHow breaking thin...

You don’t lack motivation—you’re just motivated to do something else. Scrolling TikTok. Sleeping in. Sitting on the couch. In this episode, I’m breaking down: Why going to the gym is NOT a habit (and why that matters)The hidden reason you keep skipping workoutsHow to start exercising when it feels impossibleIf you’ve ever said, “I just need to get motivated,” this one’s for you.

Martha Stewart looks 24… at 84. What does that even mean? When we see photos like this, is it empowering? Harmful? Both? This week, I’m breaking down: Why “looking younger” is never just about looking youngerThe slippery slope of interventions — from mascara to faceliftsHow to decide what you actually want vs. what society told you to wantAnd the one line from a blog post that completely reframed how I think about aging. This isn’t about judging Martha or anyone else. It’s about learning how ...

Ever feel like everyone on Instagram is living a perfectly reset, “glowed-up” fall while you’re just trying to survive the back-to-school chaos? Same. This week, I’m breaking down: * Why your fall doesn’t need a glow-up, no matter what social media says * How influencers make change look effortless… when it’s actually anything but * The viral reel about weighted vests that had me yelling at my phone * A simple way to stop internalizing every piece of wellness advice you see online This is...

Weighted vests are everywhere right now--and that’s definitely not a bad thing. But there’s a lot of buzz going around out there and I know many of you are wondering: 👉 Will they make you stronger? 👉 Will they actually build bone density? 👉 Or is it just another overhyped “fitness hack”? In this episode I’m cutting through the noise with what’s actually true (and what isn’t). I’ll share: The real benefits of weighted vests (hint: it’s not what TikTok says)How to know if your vest ...

Remember The Biggest Loser? I was obsessed. That show was appointment TV if there ever was such a thing! That show was everywhere in the 2000s—17 (!!) seasons of extreme workouts, starvation diets, and public weigh-ins packaged as “inspiration.” Netflix just released a three-part documentary about it. And while it covered some drama behind the scenes, I was more shocked about what it didn’t cover: The food. Contestants were eating as little as 800 calories a day—yet the show framed it as “h...

Sometimes the reason you’re not doing the thing to you need or want to do…is because you’ve made it way too complicated. I realized recently I’d turned a simple daily habit into a whole production — the “perfect” setup, the ideal conditions, all the steps to make it better — until it became so much work that I stopped doing it completely. In this episode, I’m sharing: The sneaky way I overcomplicated something I’d been doing for yearsHow chasing “perfect” often kills our ability to show up...

I just got back from 10 days in Switzerland and Italy—and let’s just say this was not a “protein and veggies” kind of trip. Think: Jet lag messing with my hungerChocolate for “dinner” (more than once)Food noise cranking way upLearning to roll with tiny portions, weird mealtimes, and zero snacksSaying yes to gelato at 3 p.m. because it was the values-aligned choiceThis isn’t about “staying on track” while traveling. It’s about using skills when routines fall apart—and knowing the difference be...

Most struggles with food and eating don’t come with a diagnosis. After all we're taught since birth that wanting to lose weight and eat healthy is good thing…right? But what if it’s not? What if the constant guilt, rules, and second-guessing aren’t just “part of being a woman”—but signs of a deeper struggle that most people never name? This week, I’m joined by University of Texas journalism professor and author Mallary Tenore Tarpley to talk about her memoir Slip—and the messy, quiet real...

We spend so much time wishing we could go back and do things differently—talking to the past version of ourselves who didn’t know better. But what if there’s way more power in looking forward instead of backward? In this episode, I’m breaking down: Why thinking about your future self (not just your past) changes everythingHow to create a clear, concrete plan to support the “you” who’s just minutes awayA simple framework to stop living on autopilot and start making choices that feel good...

Ever wish you could just not have cravings? That you could flip a switch and never think about chocolate, chips, or cookies again? I used to think that too. (I even ran a workshop called Conquer Cravings, no joke.) But here’s the thing: cravings aren’t a problem you need to fix. So if they're not a problem, then what are they? In this episode, I’m sharing: Why cravings are actually information about your body and mindA simple way to “work backwards” to uncover what your cravings are trying to...

Ever feel like you’re stuck between two shitty choices? Like…either you diet yourself into misery to lose weight, or stay exactly where you are and but have to deal with the discomfort of being in a body you aren’t happy with? In this episode, I’m breaking down the idea that discomfort is inevitable—but you do get to choose which discomfort moves you closer to who you want to be and which one moves you further away. We’ll talk about: ✨ The sneaky ways “I’ll be happier when I...

You hear one expert say “eat more protein.” Another says “cut back on protein.” One promises food freedom in 30 days. Another says counting macros is the only way. So who the hell do you listen to? In this episode, I’m working to make sense of the chaos — in the wellness world and in the business coaching world — and sharing the exact questions I’ve been asking myself lately to tune out the noise and figure out who actually deserves my trust. Because it’s not just ab...

This week I’m breaking down how your space might be quietly driving your cravings, overeating, and mindless snacking. This isn’t just about putting a fruit bowl on the counter. We’re going deeper. Inside the episode: Why removing chocolate (or any sweet/snack) isn’t diet culture — and when it can actually helpHow changing where you eat (or scroll) changes what you eatThe two ways to change your environment — and which one actually matters mostYou’ve probably been blaming yourself when i...

What If You’ve Been Solving The Wrong Problem with your eating? What if It’s not about eating less. Or cutting sugar. Or banning snacks. The reason you keep struggling with food might not be what you think — and that’s exactly why your “fixes” haven’t worked long-term. Today I’m breaking down: Why you might be chasing after the wrong problemThe simple questions that reveal what’s really driving your habitsHow my free Food Behavior Blueprint walks you step-by-step through figuring it outYou do...

I recorded this one sitting in my kitchen, still practically crying, still processing—in real time. Because when the thing you’ve been planning for 18 months looks like it’s about to get rained out, being told “you can’t control the weather” feels more like a gut punch than helpful advice. This episode isn’t really about Ben’s Bar Mitzvahthough (ok, it’s a little about the Bar Mitzvah). It’s about what happens when we logically know we can’t control something—our weight, a craving, a body c...
