The Burn Stress Lose Weight Podcast

You can be smart, disciplined, and wildly capable… and still find yourself going off track the moment stress spikes or motivation dips. In this episode, I'm naming what's really happening: it's not a willpower problem—and it's definitely not a "you need more information" problem. We're talking about the Under Feeling Problem: the gap between having a solid plan and being able to follow through whe...

In this short, five-ish minute episode, I explore how the question so many of you have asked yourself: Should I do a GLP1? This episode walks through the 3 questions that might help you make the decision. I call these million dollar questions, because answering them helps you create million dollar results: weight loss results that actually last, because while a GLP1 might be a part of your toolbox...

In this short, five-ish minute episode, I explore how the paradox of choice quietly derails weight loss and big goals.

In this short, five-ish minute episode, I'm sharing why habits only stick when they feel like a true lifestyle upgrade—not a punishing plan you have to endure. I break down the three missing pieces for overachievers: a nutrition strategy that supports your health and energy, accounting for the natural pull toward disorder (so it's not a discipline issue), and learning how to follow through even wh...

What if the thing holding you back from your body goals isn't lack of effort—but fear of wasting it? In this episode, I'm recording on the move (literally outside, planes and all) after getting hit with a moment of clarity that stopped me in my tracks. I share two real-life stories—one from my own business and one from a close friend—that reveal a pattern I see constantly with high-achieving women...

This episode kicks off the year with a bold reframe for high-achieving women who are tired of starting strong in January… only to feel stuck by February. I'm breaking down why weight loss doesn't stall because you "lack discipline," but because of invisible decision fatigue that quietly drains your time, energy, and momentum. In this conversation, I share why overachievers are especially vulnerabl...

What if the reason you keep repeating the same results isn't a lack of discipline—but the way you're interpreting your "fails"?

Instead of starting over, we're looking back—with curiosity, self-trust, and 100% responsibility—to uncover the real gaps that quietly sabotaged your mom...

This episode is about learning how to identify what actually got in the way, so you don't repeat the same patte...

In today's episode, I'm having a conversation that's been on my heart for a long time: how to drop body shame from your weight loss journey without giving up on your goals. As we head into a new year, it's easy to approach health and body goals from a place of punishment—and I want to show you why that never leads to results that last. I'm sharing personal stories from my own journey and breaking...

When you're working toward big goals—on the scale or in your life—discomfort will show up. But most overachievers confuse discomfort with deprivation and end up solving the wrong problem.   In this episode, I break down what discomfort really is, why it feels so intense, and the five places it quietly blocks your follow-through. If you've ever felt "stuck" despite having a solid plan, this will br...

There's a hidden mismatch most high-achieving women never account for—and it explains why results feel so hit-or-miss. In this episode, I break down the 42% Gap and why weekends, holidays, and "special occasions" quietly undo the progress you work so hard for Monday–Thursday. I'm also sharing how this ties into the new Unstoppable rebrand, the Stress Archetypes Quiz, and why this final month of th...

In this episode, I'm sharing a personal story that sparked the idea: you are only as strong as your weakest skill. For so many high-achieving women, the gap that's holding us back isn't obvious.
