Not knowing what you want is not a failure — it’s a survival skill.” That's why I'm hosting a new workshop: From Survival to Desire: Crafting Your Future Vision This workshop is not about pressure or performance;  It’s not even about goal-setting. This is a reclamation.  Reclaiming your voice, your body, your life.  From Survival to Desire Workshop is strategically designed to help you go from feeling disconnected from your desires, direction, or clarity, and relearn how to want—without guilt, fear, or pressure—and translate that into a grounded 1-year and 3-year vision you can start implementing immediately.  Saturday January 3, at 7am pst / 10am est  (Replay available if you can’t join us live)  Get all the details and save your spot:  https://workshops.bodyyoucrave.com/fv-workshop

For those of us who are (or have been):  emotional eaters,  in emotionally abusive or neglectful relationships,  or struggled with your self-worth,  Food, your weight, and people were never the real issues.  *The key problem was the identity you were forced to develop in order to survive.* You learned to abandon your own needs to stay safe, loved, accepted, or chosen. One of the most profound questions we can ask is:  “Who was I before the world told me who to be?”   This is how we get to the deeper layers driving your emotional eating, attracting emotionally abusive or neglectful people, and ultimately keeping you stuck in the same patterns year after year.  Ready to break free?  Keep listening and I’ll show you how.  When you’re ready to come work with me and reclaim your life, your vision, your voice, and your power, schedule your free consultation at www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule.  This is your one precious life.  Let’s make it count.

As humans, we want life to be easy.  We want results to come easily,  We want to lose weight quickly and easily,  We want relationships to be easy.  And yet we have so much experience with marriage, divorce, and weight loss being hard, that we become extremely skeptical when things feel easy.  I noticed this specifically for myself around love and not needing to work for it or earn it.  Just like there have been times weight loss felt easy, and it was almost ‘too good to be true.’  Or we didn’t know exactly why it felt easy, so we didn’t know how to keep creating that.  Join me for today’s episode where I break down why we’re often so afraid of things being ‘easy’ even though that’s exactly what we want.  And when you’re ready to break free from toxic relationships with food, alcohol, your body, and other people, I can 100% help!  Schedule your free consultation to better identify how and where to break these cycles, so that you can create the LIFE and body you crave.  www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule

This ‘all or nothing’ mindset shows up in so many areas of life.  This episode piggy-backs off of episode 81 Busting “All-Or-Nothing” Thinking (from March 2023), and highlights how this is a ‘mindset problem,’ which means we need a ‘mindset solution.’  Keep listening as I share how and why this comes up so much during the holidays.  Plus how to break free.  Do you find yourself wrestling with ‘all or nothing’ thinking and habits, too?  It’s time to come work with me.  Schedule your free consultation at www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule and I’ll help you see the real patterns keeping you stuck + how to break free for good.  Download your free end emotional eating tool here: https://download.bodyyoucrave.com/feelings-wheel-sign-up Come join the afterparty conversation on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jillianscoaching

I’ve been thinking a lot about “rules” lately…  It started with my desire to put my Christmas decorations out on Nov 1st.  Because seriously - someone just made up a rule, arbitrarily, that you can’t put it up before Thanksgiving.    But this happens often with weight loss, exercise, divorce, dating.  We want a set of rules to follow, hoping that if we can follow them perfectly, we’ll create the results we want.  No challenges, no suffering, just quick, fast results.    But life doesn’t work like that.  In fact I found the opposite to be true - it’s only when we break the diet, divorce, and dating rules that we can truly create what we really want in life.    And when you’re ready to lose weight, end emotional eating, and truly enjoy the holidays instead of running frazzled in survival mode…  Come work with me.  I'll teach you how to re-regulate your nervous system when you get triggered, how to meet your own emotional needs, and create a life so good you don't need an escape.  Your next best step is to schedule a free consultation at www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule  

The holidays are often full of sweets - cookies, cakes, pies, candy.  You can’t go far without something homebaked and made with love being shoved in your face (and sometimes in your mouth).  But you don’t have to spend this holiday season missing out or stressing out about what you can or can’t eat.  Today’s episode will highlight common pitfalls when it comes to food and maintaining healthy habits during the holidays, and what to do instead.  Keep listening to learn more.    And when you’re ready to break free from toxic cycles of dieting, emotional eating, and people-pleasing, it’s time to come work with me.  Schedule your free consultation to learn more: www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule.

What if I told you your people-pleasing habit was really just a desire to control others?  Typically, this desire for ‘control’ stems from a place of survival.  You learned you needed to show up a certain way in order to keep other people happy and avoid conflict, so that they would keep meeting your emotional needs.  But this coping mechanism is only holding you hostage.  Keep listening as I break down the nuanced dark side of this trait, and the first steps to breaking free.    Ready to lose weight, end emotional eating, and truly enjoy the holidays instead of running around frazzled, in survival mode?  Come work with me.  I'll teach you how to re-regulate your nervous system when you get triggered, meet your own emotional needs, and create a life so good you don't need an escape.  Your next best step is to schedule a free consultation at www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule   

As we head into the last two months of the year, it’s easy to pull back on our goals, as a form of self protection.  Because if you weren’t really trying, you don’t have to feel disappointed when you don’t lose weight or make progress.  And while you may not quit forever, it’s a little ‘q’ quit.  It’s like a football team giving up in the last quarter, because they’re behind.  Or giving up in the last 5 minutes, when really there's still so much time left to play.    What would it look like to NOT quit on yourself this year?   Imagine going into the new year 8-10 pounds lighter, without givie up on your favorite foods, drinks, or holiday traditions...  This can be your reality, too.  Your next best step is to schedule a free consultation where we'll talk more about where you are now, where you'd like to be this time next year, and the customized process you need to create it with ease.  www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule   Let 2025 be the year you don't give up on yourself. 

Most of us are familiar with your basic nervous system responses: fight, flight, freeze, appease.  But you're likely not familiar with the diet habit associated with each one.  Tune in today for more on how different food patterns play out based on our nervous system reponse.  And remeber:  You haven’t failed. You’ve just been trying to heal with tools that were never designed for your kind of pain.   When you're ready to heal from diet trauma and relationship trauma, and finally feel peace and ease around food, in your body, and with yourself, I'd love to help.  Schedule your free consultation at: www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule   

Everyone experiences some form of trauma in their life, but the bigger question is:  “What will you do with it?”   Because the painful triggers will wake you up.   What is your trauma trying to awaken within you?  You hold the pen. Your trauma just handed it to you.   Join me for this very special guest episode where I dive deep into the world of trauma and healing with AnneMarie Tortorigi.    Connect with AnneMarie on IG:  https://www.instagram.com/annemarie_tortorigi and https://www.instagram.com/peakvalleycreations    Read her blog: https://peakvalleycreations.com/blogs/news  Check out her shop: https://peakvalleycreations.com/collections/sex-is-cool 

Today we dive deeper into the world of trauma, and in particular complex trauma and complex PTSD, and what truly blocks you from healing.    Maybe you feel this constant, heavy overwhelm post-divorce.  Maybe you’re frustrated with yourself, because you can’t even seem to do the simple or easy things.  Maybe you feel like you shouldn’t still be dealing with this; like you’ve left the relationship so the ‘trigger’ should be gone, as well as all your trauma responses.    Welcome to the world of healing, where there’s no simple 12-step process, but I promise you CAN find peace and freedom.  Join me as I share a slightly different take on how to break out of survival mode and find meaning in your pain.    To learn more about working together, either 1-1 or in a small group, schedule your free consultation at: www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule.  To learn more about the Body You Crave Accelerator group coaching experience, visit: https://www.bodyyoucrave.com/accelerator Make sure you connect with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jillianscoaching and Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jillian.amadea    Lose weight and end emotional eating as you heal from toxic relationships.

Your best superpower = learning to love yourself just as much when you’re failing, as when you’re succeeding.  So often we think we have to beat ourselves up and internally “punish” ourselves in some way to make up for the mistake… to teach us a lesson.  But this is a toxic pattern.  This one question has the power to change your entire perspective:  What would it look like to LOVE myself more now, through this setback?  How would I be thinking and talking to myself if I had the thought: "this is all moving me forward." This is how we create safety to lose weight.    Share with me on social media - what does it look like for you to love yourself more after a setback or missed expectation?  Tag me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jillianscoaching or on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jillian.amadea    The year is not over yet!

Now I know “enjoyable” is NOT a word often associated with weight loss.  Neither is fun, simple, easy, relaxed.  Part of it is because 99% of diets are super restrictive. You have to “miss out” on food, drinks AND events.  But the other issue is that we’re in such a hurry to get “there,” because we typically withhold praise, validation, and feeling good about ourselves until we do.  No compliments, no feeling proud of yourself; just constant criticism until you've lost all the weight.  This is what makes weight loss hard.  This is what makes weight loss suck.  But there’s a better way.  Keep listening for more on the secret to actually speeding up your weight loss journey.    And when you’re ready to go all in on yourself, end emotional eating, lose weight, and create a life that lights you the f**k up…  I’ll show you how.  Schedule your free consultation at www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule.   Still looking for a resource that actually helps you decode your emotional eating habit?
