I’m Done! Now What?

In today’s episode, I talk to the older version of myself that’s really struggling, feeling really bad, anxious, overwhelmed and unhealthy. The version of me back in 2021 that was still drinking way too much alcohol, overeating, restricting, dieting and feeling desperate that nothing was working. I tell her what to do and what to stop doing. If you’re struggling right now, if you’re going around i...

In today's episode, Trisha and I answer a listener's question about anxiety, overthinking and the need to control. The question comes from a listener who asks: "Has Trisha any tips for dealing with overthinking due to anxiety and wanting things to go a certain way?

In today’s episode, Trisha and I answer two listener questions. The first is about food, fear and body trust after a lifetime of dieting — wondering what your body’s “comfortable weight” actually is, and whether starting to eat three proper meals a day will lead to weight gain after years of restriction, skipped meals and constantly trying to stay at a certain weight. The second question is about...

If you feel like you’re doing your best… but still not seeing the results you want, this ones for you. Every Monday inside Thrive Academy, I read through check-ins from women just like you — and no matter the  background, or starting point, the same three patterns come up again and again.

In today’s episode, Trisha and I answer two listener questions. The first is about self-sabotage — feeling stuck in patterns around eating, exercise, perfectionism and OCD, despite knowing what to do. That cycle of one step forward, three steps back, and feeling exhausted by it. The second question is about consistency and boundaries — knowing what works for your body and routine, but struggling t...

The first is about a newer therapy called TMS (often referred to as Exomind) and whether something like this could help with food cravings — especially that feeling of being completely out of control at night.

The second is about the discomfort that comes with eating better. That moment where you kno...

Up until a few years ago, I was overweight, unfit, inconsistent… and completely stuck in unhealthy habits. In this episode, I’m taking you back to that time. I was trying. Starting, stopping, getting a bit of momentum and then falling off again. Over and over. And I couldn’t understand why I just couldn’t stay consistent. From the outside, it probably looked like I needed more discipline. More wil...

Today’s episode is a bit different. I’m just chatting about a few things I’ve been working on in my own life lately. Something physical I’m focusing on right now, something I’m learning mentally — especially around caring less about what people think and stopping the habit of censoring myself — and some reflections on family, life, and running Thrive. I also talk about a dynamic many of us fall in...

We give so much to work and leave so little time for ourselves. Why is that? Have you ever stopped to wonder why you work so much? Why you give so little thought and care to yourself? You work long hours, and then try to squeeze everything else into the few remaining hours of the day. In this solo episode, I explore why we hide in work, how it becomes a distraction and a time suck, and what it may...

For a long time, I thought this was just life. Always rushing. Always behind. Always putting myself last.
