Have you ever had a moment when you’re working on something or reading something completely unrelated to weight loss and your brain thinks “Oh wow, this could apply to weight loss too.” 
You may not experience that as often as I do, because in my brain, everything is an analogy for weight loss, but I had an interesting conversation with a client recently that put a unique spin on a piece of old, but timeless, piece of wisdom.  
So what does one of the most well known Bible verses have to do with weight loss? Stay tuned to find out.

BOOK: You Are A Miracle 

Thursday Oct 03, 2024

Have you ever found yourself reaching for that extra snack, binge-watching TV, or avoiding exercise, and wondering, “Why am I doing this?” You know these behaviors aren’t helping, but somehow, you can’t stop. A lot of the time the real reason behind all of this is that you’re avoiding your feelings. And not just avoiding them—maybe you’re so good at it, you don’t even know what you’re feeling anymore.
Ever wonder what would happen if you actually allowed yourself to feel those feelings instead of pushing them away? What if they’re not something to fear but instead, messengers with something important to tell you?
Today we’ll cover why we’re so quick to bury our emotions, how avoiding them can lead to self-destructive habits, and most importantly, how to start seeing feelings as benevolent messengers guiding us toward what we truly need.
So, are you ready to face those feelings and finally find freedom from those familiar frustrations? 
Aw yeah, let’s go!

BOOK: You Are A Miracle 

Wednesday Sep 18, 2024

Have you ever found yourself staring at an empty plate, wondering, “Have I had enough, or should I go for seconds?” Maybe you’ve felt that little twinge of fear—what if I get hungry before the next meal? Or perhaps you just can’t shake the urge to keep eating, even when you know you’re full.
Why is it so tricky to tune into our body's natural signals? Could it be that years of diets and shame have disconnected us from our own wisdom? How do we get back to trusting ourselves and our bodies?
In today’s episode, we’ll cover why your fullness cues might feel like a mystery, why rules aren't the answer, and how to get curious with some simple experiments to lighten up the “should’s” and gather real data to help you reacquaint yourself with your body's signals.
So, are you ready to stop the struggle and start syncing with your body’s signals?
Aw yeah, let’s go!

Have you ever felt like you're pedaling uphill on your weight loss journey, only to find yourself slipping back into those old unhealthy habits? Why does it seem so easy to fall into the same patterns, even after you've made so much progress?
The reason why is because we've been conditioned to believe weight loss is an all-or-nothing ride, where the slightest wobble can send us spiraling backward. 
Today we’re talking about why it’s easy to fall back into old habits, how that all-or-nothing mindset sabotages our efforts, and how negative self-talk that slows us down faster than hitting the brakes on a bike.
Best of all, we’ll talk about how you can break free by learning to adjust your pace—whether it’s a leisurely pedal or a full sprint. You’ll discover how to navigate your weight loss journey with more flexibility and less frustration.
Ready to ride your way to a better perspective?

Stop Holding Yourself Back

Wednesday Sep 04, 2024

Wednesday Sep 04, 2024

Have you ever felt like you were finally making progress with your weight loss journey, only to find yourself holding back, waiting for that "other shoe to drop"? You know, that fear that all your hard work is just a temporary blip on the radar? It's like your mind is playing a cruel trick on you, keeping you from fully embracing the positive changes you're making.
Why is it so hard to let ourselves feel good about our accomplishments? This can show up in work or relationships too. Why is it that feeling good about your achievements—whether it's weight loss or any other area of life—can sometimes be scarier than staying stuck?
Is it because we're afraid of jinxing things? Or is there something deeper at play? 
Today, we're diving into the hidden reasons why feeling good can feel dangerous, and how to recognize when you’re hitting your own upper limits.  We'll cover the root causes of this fear, the signs to watch out for, and practical strategies to help you break free from its grip.
Are you ready to stop sabotaging your success and start embracing the positive feelings in your life?
Aw yeah, here we go!

Have you ever had an idea for something that totally scared you and you were absolutely certain that the idea is way above your pay grade. But then there’s a little voice that says…what if I try? 
And of course immediately your rational voice comes back online and says “What are you thinking? That’ll never work. No one will listen to you.” 
And yet that little voice has a quiet tenacity and persistence. And you begin to think…what if I try?
 
Today is a celebration of that voice inside your head. The quiet one that whispers - not the loud one that’s shouting at you most of the time. That voice that is the narrator of your dreams. That voice that speaks from your authenticity. That voice that is the representation of your Divine uniqueness that is meant to be expressed and the reason why you’re here in this lifetime. It is that voice that whispers “You are meant to shine”.  
 
We are celebrating that voice today because this is the 100th episode of the Confident Body Podcast and this podcast would never have been a thing if I hadn’t listened to the little whisper that said “what if I try?” because let me tell you, the loud voice of insecurity and doubt and imposter syndrome was loud and proud when I first thought of starting a podcast. And yet here we are. 
 
And to celebrate this milestone with me today is a very special guest. Someone who has had a huge impact on me. She’s helped me a lot in my own journey in weight loss and learning to love myself. And I’ve also learned so much from her, just by watching, listening, and observing. 
 
Joining me on the podcast today is Corinne Crabtree: 
Creator of the No BS Weightloss program and membership consisting of thousands of amazing women.
She is the host of the Losing 100 Pounds with Corinne podcast.
Creator of …I don’t …15ish different weight loss courses within her membership. There’s so many and they’re all awesome.  
She also has a FREE, easy, step by step course to help you get started, and that alone has helped thousands of women lose weight. You can find that at nobsweightloss.com/free-course.
She’s a wife, a mom, an entrepreneur, a CEO, oh and she’s also my boss. (See I told ya she was smart. She hired me!)
Some of the topics we covered include:
What as different for her the LAST time she lost weight.
The one thing that gets in the way when smart women know "what" to do but have a hard time actually doing it.
The 4 reasons why we eat and why emotional eating trips us up so much.
Specific action steps for perfectionists and people pleasers.
Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, I am so excited to share with you my conversation with the one and only Corinne Crabtree.
 
(Oh hey, real quick. You know that I’m all about encouraging you to be you, and shine your light. Well Corinne is a southern, sassy talking gal so there’s some adult language in this episode. So if you’ve got little ears nearby, it might be time to pause and go grab your headphones.)
 Let’s go!!
