Weight Loss for Life with Felicia Lauer

I went on a rampage on my own website today and deleted every single instance of the word "weight loss." Because I was never a weight loss coach. And I am done pretending otherwise. If you've ever felt like what you were really looking for had nothing to do with the scale, this one's for you. Hit play. 🎙 Her Next Level is my advanced, small group life coaching for women working on their biggest go...

She's not smarter than you. She's not more disciplined. She doesn't have more time, more money, or fewer obstacles. But she does know something you don't yet — and in this episode, I'm telling you exactly what it is. This is the episode I've been wanting to record for a long time, because what I'm about to walk you through is the single thing that has changed my life more than anything else. Not a...

If you've counted calories, done the apps, tried the influencer shakes, hired the meal plan — and you're still not free — this episode is going to reframe everything. Felicia breaks down exactly why the mainstream approach to weight loss is fundamentally backwards, why it's not your fault, and what actually works for keeping the weight off for good. This isn't about more nutrition information. It'...

Old keys don't open new doors. If you want the life you've never had you have to be who you've never been. Where are you under living? Today you'll listen in to a conversation that explains why your life might not be changing as much as you want (yet) and exactly what to do about it. You're serious about this. You show up, you want it, and you're not turning around. So why aren't the results there...

In this episode, Felicia dives into something almost no one talks about clearly enough: For many women, the weight is not just about the weight. It is about hiding. Not just hiding in clothes, behind the scale, or in the back of photos. Hiding in your life. In your joy. In your self-expression. In the fullness of who you were made to be. This is a conversation about visibility, self-image, and the...

In today’s episode, I’m talking with my client Shelly about what actually changed everything for her. You can walk past a mirror and feel good about yourself. Shelly came into this work after a lifetime of dieting, hiding with food, and believing that she could lose weight, but never really live as the woman who felt peaceful and free around food. Since then, she’s lost around 40 pounds, but what...

If you think weight loss is about the food, you are solving the wrong problem. In this episode, Felicia shares a powerful live teaching on identity, self-leadership, and the real reason so many smart, high-capacity women keep restarting, even when they already know how to eat healthy. This conversation goes far beyond meal plans, macros, and motivation. It gets to the root of lasting change: why w...

If you eat healthy “most of the time,” know a lot about nutrition, have done all the programs, and are still stuck… this episode is for you. Today, Felicia breaks down a specific kind of discomfort almost no one names — the identity tension that happens when your dreams move faster than your nervous system . This is the gap every diet, meal plan, and “just be more consistent” strategy completely s...

"Losing 185 pounds is the least interesting thing about me. It's HOW I live and keep it off now." That's the shift diet culture can never sell you, and the one thing women actually want to feel. You don’t need another diet. You need to become the woman who doesn’t need one. In this foundational episode, Felicia shares the deeper truth behind her 185-pound weight loss and 11+ years of keeping it of...

The modern weight loss world sells women a lie: Be thinner. Do more. Push harder. Be “good.” Then maybe you’re allowed to feel okay. Meanwhile your nervous system is screaming, you’re using food to take the edge off, and you’re wondering why “trying harder” never seems to last. In this episode, Felicia unpacks a completely different path: the feminine way to lose weight. Not pink-washed diet cultu...

"Don't waste another day- don't wait any longer than you already have. Any day is a great day to be making changes." In this powerful and vulnerable conversation, I sit down with my client Anna, who has lost over 42 pounds in just six months — without extreme dieting, deprivation, or weight loss drugs. She is also still on her journey, a powerful example of being on her way. Anna is 57, a mom of f...

In this episode, Felicia names the quiet place so many capable, high-functioning women get stuck in: the miserable maybe. That space where you’re not failing- but you’re not free. You’re doing most of the things but not seeing real results. You feel overloaded, not lazy… and food has become the fastest way to regulate the stress. Felicia unpacks what’s really happening beneath the surface (it’s no...

Hey girl, hey- buckle up. This episode is not soft. It’s not coddling.

In today’s episode, recorded in my pajamas, bonnet on, from the comfort of my bed- I’m sharing the truth I wish every smart, driven, faith-filled woman knew: You have never been the problem. You’ve just been told the wrong solutions. Women have been lied to, and this is the hill I'm willing to die on. This is the real talk I’ve been wanting to share for a long time, and I’m going there today. We’r...

In today’s episode, we’re talking about holiday food, family, emotions, and WHY the next six weeks don’t need to derail your weight loss, unless you let old stories run the show. Inside this coaching clip + Felicia’s signature truth-telling, you’ll learn: Why holiday weight gain isn’t a food problem- it’s a clarity problem What actually counts as a treat (spoiler: stale break room popcorn does not...

In this powerful episode, Felicia unpacks one of the most common struggles smart, driven women face: nighttime eating. If you’ve ever ‘been good all day’ and then found yourself reaching for snacks you didn’t plan on, this episode is for you. Learn why willpower is NOT the answer, how old diet beliefs are still driving your patterns, and the compassionate way to meet your real needs- without givin...

What if the real failure isn’t falling off track… but never starting at all? In this episode, Felicia dives into the sneaky, protective lie so many women believe: “If I don’t try, I can’t fail.” But here’s the truth— inaction is not neutral. It’s a decision. And it’s one that guarantees you’ll stay stuck. We talk about: What fear of failure really is (and why it shows up) Why perfectionism and qui...

This is an excerpt from a recent live video inside a 3-day event I hosted that you'll want to hear. I have NEVER had such an outpouring of women commenting, messaging, emailing, saying "YES, this is me." That's because it is so many women, and this is finally a real answer. What if the *real* moment of transformation wasn’t after you lost the weight, but the moment you decided you wouldn't spend o...

If you have sound issues with a previous download from Helga listen to this one, I had to fix something and replace it. Thanks for your understanding! What if the last diet you try… isn’t a diet at all? In today’s episode, I’m joined by my longtime client and dear friend, Helga — who came to me at age 60 asking the question so many women ask in secret: “Is there any hope for me?” Since then, she’s...

If you’ve ever felt like you know what to do but can’t make it stick — this is for you. In today’s episode, I’m unpacking the real reason behind the “Start Over Monday” cycle and why pressure and perfectionism keep you stuck. You’ll hear how your nervous system, brain loops, and beliefs about worthiness are quietly sabotaging your efforts — and what it actually takes to change for good. We talk ab...

When weight loss is the land of no fun and not eating the food is "deprivation"... Yet we feel awful and shame when we do eat the food- We have a situation in which you cannot win. I don't love that. Everything you've bee taught about the "can't have" mentality is what's keeping you stuck. This is my fresh take on real restriction and deprivation. It’s not the food. It’s the shame you’ve been trai...

Today we’re talking about feelings — the emotional undercurrent that most diets ignore entirely… and one of the biggest reasons women struggle with weight loss. This episode is packed with truth, encouragement, and practical wisdom on how to feel your feelings without being ruled by them. Inside, I’m sharing: Why emotions are not flaws — they’re part of your God-given design The real cost of avoid...

Have you ever wondered if you’re fooling yourself about losing the weight for good? Here’s the truth: you’re not. You’re either developing capability or you’re not. In this episode, Felicia flips the question from “Am I fooling myself?” to “Am I finding out what I’m capable of—without regrets?” You’ll learn how to stop doubting yourself, start building skills that last, and run daily “reps” that m...

If you’ve ever said “I’ve got to buckle down and get back on track,” this episode is your wake-up call. We’re unpacking diet mentality —the shamey, rule-based thinking that actually makes weight loss harder—and replacing it with choices that come from you (not from fear). Many women don't recognize that they actually do have diet mentality towards healthy eating- "on/off plan," "get back to it"- a...

If you’ve ever said, “I know what to do, I just don’t do it,” today’s episode is the missing link. We’re talking identity-based weight loss —how your self-concept (“who I am”) silently drives your habits, consistency, and results. In this episode you’ll learn: Why your brain prefers the familiar (seek pleasure/avoid pain/stay the same) and how that keeps “stuck identity” on repeat. How labels like...
