Send us Fan Mail   Curiosity, Habit Loops & the Hidden Treasure of Your Local Library What if the reason you can't stop eating had nothing to do with willpower — and everything to do with your brain running on autopilot? This week I'm exploring just that – the autopilot trap.   We are exploring behavior change research AND in the fabric of our communities: curiosity.   If you work in...

Send us Fan Mail Life has a way of getting lifely — and this episode was born right in the middle of mine. In Episode 208, I get personal about a season that brought me to stillness, to my car, to my breath — and ultimately, to a word that changed everything for me this year. If you have ever found yourself waiting for the perfect moment to start again, or wondering if the hard thing you are going...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 207 The Practice of Not Reacting This week, I’m sharing something that has been quietly shaping my life for years—and I don’t think we talk about it enough in a practical way. We spend so much time trying to “fix” our habits… but what if the real shift happens before the action even begins? I’m talking about meditation and equanimity. Not meditation in a rigid or intimidat...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 206 Sorry I am late today -love ya This week, I’m opening up a conversation that many of us avoid—but all of us feel. Money. Not the polished, curated version we see online… but the real, behind-the-scenes truth about what’s coming in, what’s going out, and the quiet stress it can carry. If things feel tight right now… if you’ve been avoiding your numbers… if you’ve ever w...

Send us Fan Mail This week, I’m taking a curious, watch-and-see approach to GLP-1 medications—things like semaglutide, Ozempic, Wegovy. We’ll cover the research-backed potential benefits, the side effects, what happens after stopping, and why the conversation is about much more than just weight.  No judgment, no pressure, just information, reflection, and a reminder that your choices are personal...

Send us Fan Mail Day One Starts Now: The Simple Reset That Finally Makes Weight Loss Stick   I caught myself the other day. In the middle of everything going on… I stopped doing the one thing that always helps me. Planning. Not because I don’t believe in it—but because life got heavy, real, and honestly… a little overwhelming. And that’s when it hit me. This is exactly when I need a Day One. Not M...

Send us Fan Mail Life has a way of moving quickly, and instead of skipping an episode, I wanted to bring back one that truly matters. This is one of my favorite OG episodes If you’ve ever felt like your eating habits don’t match your goals, this episode will remind you—you’re not broken. There’s real brain science behind why we overeat, and understanding it can completely change how you approach y...

Send us Fan Mail This week, I’m sharing 7 simple foods that can help make weight loss feel easier—no extremes, no restriction, just small shifts that actually support you. I talk about why some foods work with your body instead of against it, how to stay full longer without overthinking it, and the one simple formula that can change how you approach eating altogether. If you’ve ever felt tired of...

Send us Fan Mail What If the Hardest Parts of Life Are Actually the Beginning of Something Beautiful? Life isn’t only the beautiful bloom — sometimes it’s the mud beneath it. In this conversation, we explore resilience, mindfulness, and how struggle can shape personal growth. Some conversations stay with you long after they happen. In this episode, I sit down with someone who knows my story deeply...

Send us Fan Mail Wellness is a word we hear all the time—but what does it actually mean when life is complicated, busy, and sometimes overwhelming? In this milestone 200th episode, I explore the idea that living well isn’t about perfection or rigid routines, but about the small choices we make every day that quietly shape our health, our relationships, and the direction of our lives. I invite you...

Send us Fan Mail What if calm isn’t something you find after life settles… but something you practice while everything still feels loud, uncertain, and full? In this episode, I invite you into a deeply real reflection on stress, emotional weight, and the quiet moments of beauty that often go unnoticed in our busiest seasons. From stormy mornings by the water to the science of nervous system regula...

Send us Fan Mail This week’s episode is a very real one for me. I share a life update, the emotional rollercoaster I’ve been quietly riding, and how I stayed grounded in my program even when my heart and mind were all over the place. If you’ve been holding it together lately, this episode may feel like a deep exhale. This one is honest, and grounding, especially for those of us managing full lives...

Send us Fan Mail This week’s episode is not what I originally planned. I’m sharing this from the ER, and moments like this have a way of clarifying everything. When health feels uncertain and life narrows to what truly matters, the noise falls away. So instead of a new episode, I’m re-releasing my very first one as a reminder to ground ourselves in what actually works. In seasons of striving, trac...

Send us Fan Mail There are moments in life when you realize — very clearly — who and what is holding you up. This week, I found myself thinking deeply about the people who show up quietly, consistently, and without needing anything in return. And it made me reflect on how much of what weighs us down isn’t physical at all — it’s emotional, and relational. This episode is an invitation to look at re...

Send us Fan Mail This week we’re heading into week three of the challenge, and I want to talk about something subtle that can quietly make everything feel harder—your energy, your focus, your patience, even your progress. I’ve been thinking a lot about how often we push through discomfort without ever stopping to ask why it’s there. And how, as women who manage full lives and full calendars, we’re...

Send us Fan Mail What if the reason things feel harder than they should isn’t because you’re undisciplined, unmotivated, or doing it wrong—but because the system you’re using was never designed for the life you’re actually living? In this episode, I invite you to pause the self-judgment and take a gentler, more curious look at what’s really driving your follow-through (or lack of it). If you’ve ev...

Send us Fan Mail What if the next 30 days weren’t about fixing everything… but about proving something to yourself? In this episode, I invite you into a challenge that’s intentionally simple, quietly powerful, and very different from the usual “do more, be more” approach. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by goals, burned out by resets, or frustrated that motivation fades faster than you expected—th...

Send us Fan Mail This week, I’m inviting you into a quieter, more intimate conversation—one that doesn’t point outward, but inward. It’s about the kind of trust that lives beneath our goals, our decisions, and our follow-through. The kind that gets shaken not by one big moment, but by a thousand small ones. If you’ve ever felt hesitant to try again, unsure whether to believe yourself, or tired of...

Send us Fan Mail As we move into a new year, I found myself sitting with a question I don’t hear talked about very often—at least not in a way that feels honest or useful. We spend a lot of time planning what we want more of, what we’re willing to work for, and what we think things will “cost” us. But this week, I wanted to slow that conversation down and look at what quietly gets traded away in t...

Send us Fan Mail If you’re listening in real time, Merry Christmas, my dear friends. I’m sending you so much love, safety, and calm this season.   This week, I introduce you to a Maester who has profoundly shaped how I think about attention, discipline, peace, and the body: Cal Newport.   This is not fluffy productivity advice. This is about unfinished tasks, hidden stress, and how scattered atten...

Send us Fan Mail This week, we are talking about boundaries — not the kind that build walls, but the kind that help us stay loving, honest, and grounded… especially during the holidays.  In this episode, I slow it down.   We talk about what boundaries actually are, where the word even comes from, and why boundaries usually show up right when life feels stressful, overwhelming, or just a little too...

Send us Fan Mail This week on Project Weight Loss, I’m talking about something so many of us quietly struggle with — that strange feeling of “I’m doing everything… and yet, I still feel stuck.” Whether it’s with food, with our routines, or with parts of life that feel a little stagnant, this feeling shows up for all of us. And today, I’m sharing why it happens, what it really means, and how giving...

Send us Fan Mail Hey there, my friends — this week I’m coming to you with something simple… and something human. No outline. No strategy. Just us. I’m sharing a couple of stories —and reflecting on what service really means during this season. Not the big, heroic kind. The small, human, everyday kind. The kind that steadies us emotionally and reminds us who we want to be. We talk about dignity, co...

Send us Fan Mail This week, I’m inviting you into a conversation that’s all about wisdom — not the big, lofty kind, but the kind you can actually live. The kind that helps you walk into the holiday season feeling grounded, intentional, and connected to what matters most. I’m sharing the two principles from Maester T. Colin Campbell that changed the way I think about food and life — and how those s...
