My Experience Being a Hot Mom 08.07.2026 20:27
You are allowed to want to feel hot. Not just healthy for your age or for a “mom”. Just genuinely hot in your body, and this episode is your permission slip to admit that out loud. This week I am sharing the unexpected things that have happened since I started feeling like the hot mom...the things nobody warned me about and the things that have seriously changed the quality of my entire life at 46...
How To Be In Control Of What You Eat When You're Not The One Holding The Spatula 01.07.2026 17:51
Most weight loss programs assume you are the one standing at the stove every single night with full control over every ingredient that goes into your food. For a lot of the women I work with that is simply not reality. This episode is for the woman whose partner does most of the cooking, the woman who lives out of hotel rooms and airport food courts half the week, and the woman who has been convin...
The One Skill That Makes Weight Loss Easier AND Harder At The Same Time 24.06.2026 30:37
The most underrated factor in whether weight loss actually works long term has nothing to do with willpower, motivation, or finding the perfect diet. It is cooking. Specifically, not knowing how to cook makes weight loss significantly harder than it needs to be. And surprisingly, loving to cook can actually be working against you too. In this episode I break down the three distinct relationships...
My Fat Loss Phase has changed A LOT at 46 and I want to be honest about that 17.06.2026 21:46
At 46 this fat loss phase looked different than anything I've done before. And I'm sharing the actual numbers because most coaches won't. Not the highlight reel version. The real version, including the part where my calories had to drop lower than they ever have before and why I was genuinely floored by it. In this episode I'm pulling back the curtain on three years of my own f...

And in this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on exactly what my current fat loss phase has looked like from the inside with the systems, the data, the mindset, and the honest truth about what it actually takes to see results in your 40s.

Learn The Key to Fat Loss So You Stop Thinking About it Forever 03.06.2026 27:25
The diet gave you rules but never explained “why” so when it stopped working, you blamed yourself. This episode is the nutrition education you never got, and the missing piece behind every diet that's failed you. I'm breaking down exactly what I teach every client about protein, carbs, and fat — what they actually do, how much you actually need, and why understanding this makes weight lo...
Good Girl Conditioning Literally Almost Killed Me (Until I Learned This) 27.05.2026 21:03
In this episode, I'm sharing something really personal from an experience during the fall of 2024 that I never want to relive but am so grateful happened. For the first time in my life I experienced debilitating joint pain that traveled through my entire body, had me sleeping 30-45 minutes a night for weeks. All while selling my home, moving, running my business, and raising two boys on my ow...
Exactly How I Eat More & Lose Weight 20.05.2026 27:55
Have you seen those women on Instagram claiming to eat more food than ever while still losing weight? In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly what's behind that claim and whether it's actually possible. Spoiler… It is, and it isn't. It actually comes down to one key concept: food volume. We cover the science of calorie deficits, why a calorie isn't always felt the same...
Teaching Your Daughter Body Positivity AND Being a Mom Losing Weight 13.05.2026 25:54
If you've ever felt guilty for wanting to lose weight because you're afraid of what it will model for your kids… this episode is for you. So many moms come to work with me carrying this exact fear. They don't want their daughters to see them tracking food or saying no to dessert, and develop a negative relationship with their body. And that fear comes from a real and loving place, b...

Why Every Diet You Tried Gave You Rules But Never Gave You Results 29.04.2026 14:33
Ready to figure out exactly what YOUR body needs to see results? Grab one of the limited 1:1 strategy call spots here! What if the way to stop obsessing over food was to actually learn about it properly, once, for good? In this episode, I make a case that might sound counterintuitive at first: that the diets you tried between 25 and 35 didn't fail because you lacked discipline, but they fail...

Do you have to track to lose weight? 15.04.2026 16:35
Book your 1:1 Strategy Call Here! In this episode, I’m answering one of the most common questions I get from high-achieving women over 40: Do I have to track calories and macros to lose weight? And the honest answer… is it depends. While many coaches require tracking, I take a more individualized approach. For some women, tracking is a powerful and necessary tool to create awareness and momentum....

The Missing Piece to Feeling Hot Again 11.03.2026 17:11
In this episode, I’m sharing what I believe is the biggest missing piece when it comes to losing weight and feeling hot after 40, and it’s probably not what you think. It’s self-trust. I open up about my dating life over the past year, including a very public breakup, a deep betrayal, and the unexpected decision to try again with someone I once walked away from. What I realized through all of it i...
The Levels of Partner Support and How That Impacts Weight Loss 04.03.2026 19:07
If you’re trying to lose weight and feel better in your body, but your partner’s support feels… inconsistent then this episode is for you! I break down the three levels of partner support from the rare “all in with you” teammate to the openly unsupportive critic, and the most common (and trickiest) gray zone—the partner who says they’re supportive but whose actions don’t quite align. I share stori...
Exactly How to See More Results From All Your Effort 25.02.2026 15:26
Ever feel like you’re doing all the things…working out consistently, staying busy, breaking a sweat, yet nothing actually changes? In this episode, I’m unpacking a concept from my HR days that explains exactly why that happens: Rocking Horse Syndrome. It’s the illusion of productivity with lots of movement but zero traction. In the workplace, it looks like endless meetings, over-polished decks, a...
How Comfort is Keeping You Stuck (and less hot)?? 18.02.2026 10:47
What if comfort is the exact reason you’re not seeing change? In this episode, I unpack the surprising parallels between participating in an economic boycott and finally making weight loss stick. Both require the same uncomfortable truth: real change demands inconvenience. It’s not glamorous. It’s not effortless. It’s Wednesday at 6pm when you’re tired, out of eggs, and tempted to say “forget it.”...
How to Use Your Body (and feel good in it) As An Act of Resistance 11.02.2026 12:20
In this episode of This Life Gets Good , I’m talking honestly about something many of us are feeling but not always saying out loud: how heavy the world feels right now, and how that weight shows up in our bodies. I share why I’ve been speaking more openly about what’s happening around us, why so many women have quietly thanked me for doing so, and why I recognize the privilege I have in being abl...
Rethinking Time, Productivity, and Why Your Body Is the Missing Variable 04.02.2026 12:33
In this episode, I’m calling out a pattern I see constantly with high-achieving women over 40: you’re not stuck because you’re doing something wrong…you’re stuck because you’re applying the wrong productivity model to your body. The same “work harder, stay longer, do more” approach that may have worked in corporate settings is often the exact thing that slows results when it comes to workouts, nut...
When Your Body Becomes Part of Your Performance Review 28.01.2026 13:19
In today’s episode, I’m talking about something that so many women feel but rarely say out loud about the reality of gender and beauty bias at work, and how our bodies quietly become part of how we’re evaluated. I unpack how this bias shows up in real ways in performance reviews, “executive presence,” promotions, and compensation and how different the rules are for men versus women. While male le...
How To Make Intimacy Better Over 40?? 21.01.2026 15:45
In this birthday episode, I’m reflecting on what it actually means to feel good in your body as you get older and why, at 46, I feel more confident, connected, and yes, hotter than I ever did in my 20s or 30s. Looking back at my 2016 “before” photo, the hardest part for me wasn’t being 75 pounds heavier. It was how disconnected and depleted I felt in my body. I didn’t fully realize how bad it was...
