Lose Weight and Make Money

Any journey you ever go on will be 50/50. Heck, life, in and of itself, is a 50/50 experience. In today's episode, we talk specifically about what it’s like to experience both the 50% positive and the 50% negative of losing weight. I go in-depth with you on what it means to have a 50/50 experience on your weight loss journey and how to avoid adding any unnecessary suffering in your life on your wa...

You read that title correctly. We’re talking all about how to have fun on your weight loss journey. Why not?! Whoever says you can’t have fun losing weight is someone I would no longer take advice from (kidding, but also not..). If you can have fun doing the hardest things in your life like raising kids, building a six figure business, climbing tall things, and sky diving, then you can have fun ge...

We've talked about feelings on the podcast and we've talked about eating on the podcast. Now it's time to combine the two and discuss all things emotional eating. You may think you know what it means and whether you coach on it or not, this is a buzzword in the coaching world. But in this episode, I share with you my simple definition and why it's so important to really understand emotional eating...

Last week we talked about leaving the past behind. This week we’re moving into the future. The only way to lose weight for the last time is to do it differently than you’ve ever done it before. Your past self will tell you how you’ve done it before (we love learning from her and then leaving the past behind). Your future self is the best person to ask when you’re looking to lose weight differently...

In this first episode of the new year, we are talking about setting your intentions for your weight loss journey for the year. If you missed the last episode, go check that out first.

About a month ago, I went on a 30-day digital declutter recommended by the author Cal Newport in his book, Digital Minimalism. If you had asked me at the beginning if I'd be sharing my experience with anyone, let alone my podcast audience, I would have given you a hard and definitive no. But this experience was too transformative to keep to myself. And don't you worry, it's so much like what we go...

I have a treat for you! I'd like you to welcome Miish Grixti to the podcast! Miish and I have been working together for over a year.

In the beginning, she thought hitting her weight loss goal without dieting, restricting, or without a...

Last week we covered how gratitude and weight loss are related. This week we're covering connection and weight loss. It's basically a part 2 as we're going deep into how something like the feeling of belonging, that seems like it's not related to the number on the scale, is in fact correlated to your relationship with food and your weight loss journey. So many of the reasons we overeat are actuall...

What other kind of podcast episode could I drop on Thanksgiving Day other than a Gratitude episode?! Tune in because you’ve never heard gratitude and weight loss talked about like this. The two are not only intertwined but as you’ll hear in this episode, gratitude, or ingratitude, directly affects your weight loss journey. So don’t listen to this episode just to have an attitude of gratitude on th...

Welcome to part 2 of the maintenance series. You all sent so many amazing questions relating to maintaining your weight loss that I had to turn what was originally one episode into two! We dive into specific topics around maintenance such as how to handle stress eating (because you know stress doesn’t automatically go away when you hit your weight loss goal…) and when you get cravings every time y...

It's that time of year when we get our sweaters out, buy our favorite fall drink, and start worrying about how the heck we're gonna lose those 10lbs now that the holidays are here... In the last episode, I answered a question about maintaining your weight loss during the holidays and I covered some important topics there so go check that episode out. But I wanted a dedicated episode on the podcast...

Celebrate with me! I've kept my weight at maintenance after losing 25lbs and the way I want to celebrate is by sharing all the wisdom I've gained over the last year with you! I've lost 25lbs a few times, but I have never kept it off for this long and with this much certainty. I had always started gaining weight back after just a couple of months. Inevitably a holiday or a vacation would come, or l...

I bet you’ve never heard that you have to embrace boredom to get to your weight loss goal. I learned about this idea in Cal Newport’s book, Deep Work, and it blew my mind. I was so intrigued that I immediately researched what it means to embrace boredom, talked to my friends about it, and went on a little experimental trip to understand this idea more. I knew it was revolutionary and yet, I instan...

In this week...

There are three things that will keep you from your dream: dieting, depriving, and denying yourself. We're going to talk about all three, what I like to call the 3 D's, in this first part of a 2-part podcast series.
