Thin Thinking Podcast

Hey friend, Let's talk about consistency for a moment. Because real consistency isn't about never getting off track. It's about knowing exactly what to do when you do—and getting yourself back on track quickly, calmly, and without all the drama. In this upcoming podcast episode , I'm walking you through five key steps that do exactly that. Think of it like this: You've been driving on that old, ex...

Winter has a way of showing us the challenges we managed to avoid during the summer. January rolls in with colder temperatures, darker mornings, comfort-food cravings, and routines that suddenly feel much harder to maintain. If you've noticed your motivation dip or your consistency feel shaky, I want you to hear this clearly: It's not that you're failing. It's that winter demands a different appro...

The beginning of a new year often brings pressure. Pressure to reset. Pressure to undo the holidays. Pressure to "get serious" about weight—fast. But before you jump into another plan, rule, or reset, today's episode invites you to slow down and look at what actually determines long-term success. Because lasting weight mastery doesn't start with food, exercise, or willpower. It starts with your re...

Happy holidays, my friend! As this year comes to a close, I wanted to offer you something different in today's podcast episode —not advice, not a to-do list, and definitely not another promise you don't actually want to keep. This episode is a gentle, guided meditation designed to help you close out the year with gratitude and step into the new one feeling healthier, lighter, and more aligned—with...

Emotional eating during the holidays… anyone else feeling it already? If the season brings up stress, pressure, nostalgia, or that familiar pull toward food for comfort—you're not alone. And you don't have to white-knuckle your way through it either. In this latest podcast episode , I'm sharing my best practices and mindset shifts for moving through the holidays peacefully, intentionally, and deep...

Have you ever noticed that when your stress is high, everything feels off? Your hunger cues, your digestion, your energy… even the way you talk to yourself? There's a reason for that — and it's not because you're doing anything wrong. In this week's Thin Thinking Podcast episode , I sat down with PTSD expert Joanne Williams for a powerful conversation about what happens when the brain gets stuck o...

It's here!  There is something so magical about baking during the holidays. Even if we barely touch an oven the rest of the year, somehow December arrives and suddenly we're whipping up cookies, breads, pies, and all the nostalgic treats that make the season feel whole. For many of us, baking is connection—time with friends, time with family, or simply the joy of creating something delicious for p...

Happy Thanksgiving!  Let's be honest for a moment… This weekend is basically the Olympics of old family patterns, emotional eating triggers, and conversations you definitely did not sign up for—sprinkled, of course, with a little gratitude. So I thought: What better time to share something powerful I brought home from Tony Robbins' Unleash the Power Within last month? If Tony can get people walkin...

So many people in our Thin Thinking community aren't just navigating weight, food, and mindset… they're also carrying quiet anxiety under the surface. And as the holidays approach—with the social events, family expectations, food everywhere, and the pressure to be "on"—that anxiety can really kick into high gear. That's why I am so excited about this week's Thin Thinking Podcast episode with Brad...

Some conversations invite us to slow down. To breathe differently. To step out of the rush of our lives and into the quieter places we often avoid — the ones where grief, memory, and healing wait patiently for us to catch up. Today's episode is one of those conversations. My guest, Barbara Wansbrough , didn't set out to write a book about grief. She set out to take a walk — one that eventually led...

Have you ever put off a dream because of your weight? That was Dr. Marie Strenger's reality as well. As an emergency room physician, she spent years caring for everyone else while her own needs kept getting pushed aside. Between exhausting shifts, stress, and that familiar "I'll start again tomorrow," she felt stuck—until she discovered a different path. Through the Shift Weight Mastery Process an...

Halloween may be all about ghosts, witches, and things that go bump in the night—but let's be honest, the real haunt this season isn't hiding under your bed. It's that little voice in your head whispering, "Go ahead… just one fun-sized bar." And before you know it—11 wrappers later—you're left wondering, "What kind of sugar spell just possessed me?"  This week on The Thin Thinking Podcast , we're...

Remember those permission slips we needed as kids — the ones that let us go on a field trip or try something new? Or the approvals we had to wait for at work before we could move a project forward? Here's the thing… many of us are still waiting for that green light — only now, it's coming from inside our own minds. If you've been stuck in the start-over cycle with your weight, there's a good chanc...

Growing up in New York with a father who was a fashion photographer in the 1970s, Hillary was surrounded by the glossy, airbrushed world of ultra-thin models. Even though her own weight fluctuations were only...

When you feel hungry… is it always about an empty stomach? The truth is, hunger isn't just one thing—it's a chorus of signals. And most of them have nothing to do with actual physical need. In my latest podcast episode, I'm breaking down the five types of hunger: ✅ Physical hunger ✅ Emotional hunger ✅ Environmental hunger ✅ Hedonic (pleasure-driven) and mindless habit hunger ✅ "Fake hunger" c...

Last week on the podcast, I celebrated my birthday by unwrapping the real gift that changed my life—mastering the mental side of weight.

If you missed that episode, it's a powerful starting point for shifting how you think about weight l...

It's my birthday episode--and instead of a party with candles and frosting, I thought we'd do something a little different: unwrap the real gift that changed my life—mastering the mental side of weight. For decades, I fought with food, rules, and endless cycles of "starting over tomorrow." What finally broke that cycle wasn't another diet. It was learning how to train my mind for long-term freedom...
