Send us a text Today I am talking about New Year New You. Yes, I know that phrase makes some of us twitch, but since it shows up everywhere this time of year, we need to talk about it. I actually love the New Year. I love the excitement, the fresh calendar energy, and the feeling that something good might be possible. But when you are trying to lose weight and change your relationship with food, this time of year can be loaded with pressure, unrealistic expectations, and traps that lead stra...

Disrupting Obesity
145 ~ Weight Loss Wednesday XIV
Send us a text The holidays are closing in and the questions keep coming. In this week’s Weight Loss Wednesday, I’m finishing up holiday Q&A and talking about the situations that make weight loss feel extra difficult this time of year. Full plates, food-centred family gatherings, endless leftovers and that familiar feeling of losing control around food. If the holidays tend to throw you off track, you are not imagining it. This episode is about getting through this season without turning ...

144 ~ Holiday Sabotage
Send us a text The holidays have a sneaky way of making weight loss harder than usual. In this episode, I’m talking about holiday sabotage, and that includes sabotage from other people and the sabotage we do to ourselves. As the season ramps up, weight loss can feel like it is being challenged from all sides. Family comments, food pushers, passive-aggressive coworkers, unsupportive partners, and people who think your body and your plate are open for discussion. Add old memories, emotional tri...

Send us a text The holidays can make weight loss feel ten times harder. Judgment from other people, constant food noise, baking traditions, grief, and pressure to “just eat because it’s Christmas” all tend to show up at once. In this Weight Loss Wednesday, I’m answering real listener questions pulled from the vault that are just as relevant now as when they were first asked. This episode is about staying grounded through the holidays, setting quiet boundaries, and continuing forward without ...

142 ~ Surviving the Holidays II

This stretch between Thanksgiving and New Year’s can feel chaotic, emotional, and full of food that pushes every button you’ve got. So I’m sharing the tools, mindset shifts, and strategies that actually help you stay grounded instead of getting swept into the holiday eating vortex. I talk about the power of incentives and why giving yourself small rewards is not cheating. It’s strategy. Whether it is a long soa...

With Thanksgiving landing this week and the rest of the season barreling toward us, I wanted to give you tools that help you stay grounded, keep your sanity, and protect your progress.

Send us a text In this week’s Weight Loss Wednesday, I’m tackling another round of your questions. I love these episodes because they let me answer the things you’re genuinely struggling with in real time. Keep sending them in. They really do shape what this podcast becomes. I start with a question I know so many of us wrestle with: how to stop second-guessing the plan every time someone else has an opinion. Whether it’s oats, keto, fasting or the latest shiny little diet gimmick, the noise n...

138 ~ Environment of Yes
Send us a text In this episode, I’m talking about something that has shaped my life in ways I didn’t even understand until years later, something my husband calls an "environment of yes". After I got sick, Shahn made a conscious effort to surround me with as much positivity and choice as possible. He created yeses in a season of my life that had been nothing but no, and it changed everything for me. Today I’m pulling back the curtain a little to share what that looked like, why it mat...

136 ~ Damage Control Mode
Send us a text In this episode, I talk about something most people don’t even realise is an option on a weight loss journey. We act like when things get hard, the only choices are to keep going or to give up. But there is a third option that can save your progress, protect your mental bandwidth, and stop you from falling back into that old start again cycle. I call it damage control mode. I explain what damage control actually looks like, why it’s not the same as quitting, and why it’s defini...
