Believe or not, my top episode for the year (other than my first two) was the episode that I talked about sex. And so, for the last week of 2025, I decided to play one of the most popular episodes that I put out this year.
I am beyond grateful for all of you! For giving me the space to share my story, my insights and really my life with you all. I can't wait to continue to serve you in 2026!
Happy New Year!!
XO,
Em
Today's episode is my second episode that I released back in early January of 2025. And I share how my life started to really shift in an empowering way after I said yes to the call to adventure of trying something new. That something new was macro counting. And I had no idea that saying yes to macro counting was going to eventually lead me here. With you.
I decided to replay my first 3 episodes because I was inspired by Taylor Swift doing the same thing. When she wasn't able to buy her songs at that time, she decided to re record all of her songs. And in doing so, she took a trip down memory lane. And a seed was planted. And that is how the Eras Tour was created.
So I am taking a page from Taylor, and taking a trip down memory lane. I am seeing all the progress that I have made since then and I am also going back to the reason why I started this podcast.
To create a space for women to feel empowered in their life. To get their power back and to finally step into their power. That was always theirs to being with.
Since we are wrapping of 2025, I’m replaying one of my early episodes I recorded back earlier this year. And it’s personally one of my favorites. It’s all the limited beliefs that I decided to leave behind in 2024, that were no longer serving me.
And it’s a practice that I do daily, where I look at my progress so that I can keep going. Even when I’m not where I want to be yet.
So if you struggle with letting go, or focus on where you aren’t at yet, then this episode will be for you!
Feeling so grateful for the space that I get to share my voice and insights with you! And thank you for almost a full year of listening to Stop It! ❤️
If you woke up after the holidays convinced you “ruined all your progress”… this episode is your gentle but firm reminder:
You didn’t ruin anything.
(And yes, I’m shouting that with love.)
But here’s the real truth most women don’t realize:
If you believe you ruined everything, you’ll start acting like you did.
And what you focus on? Always grows.
Inside today’s episode, I’m sharing a very real story from my own life — one that has nothing to do with macros, and everything to do with fear.
Big Kev and I are thinking about getting the boys a puppy for Christmas (his name is already Marty, so clearly we’re invested lol). And even though it’s exciting, my brain has been trying SO hard to talk me out of it… thinking only about the hard parts, the ways I could mess it up, all the reasons it might not work.
Sound familiar?
Because fear shows up the exact same way when you’re trying to hit your body goals.
You say you want the result…
But then your brain whispers:
“But I don’t have time…”
“But I’ve tried everything…”
“But the holidays are crazy…”
“But what if I fail… again?”
And before you know it, you're arguing for your limitations instead of your potential.
In this episode, we’re unpacking:
Why your fear response feels so loud this time of year
How your brain convinces you to stay exactly where you are (even when you hate it)
The ONE question I ask myself now that changed everything
And how to finally make choices from desire — not fear — so you can step into the version of you who actually gets the results you want
If you’re tired of believing the same old stories… tired of starting over… tired of letting fear make your decisions…
This episode is the sign you’ve been asking for.
It’s time to stop arguing for your limitations — and start choosing the life and body you actually want.

If you’re the woman who’s always there for everyone else... the one who gives, fixes, supports, and shows up — but struggles to ask for help yourself… this one’s for you.
In today’s episode, I’m unpacking the two biggest reasons why asking for help feels so uncomfortable, even when deep down, you know you need it. You’ll learn what’s really holding you back, and how to start giving yourself permission to receive the support you so easily give to others.
Because here’s the truth — success is never done alone.
And if you’re ready to wave the white flag and stop trying to figure out your body goals by yourself, my Black Friday deal for Macros Made Simple is officially live. I get it — I used to be the queen of DIY too. But I learned the hard way that the fastest way to lasting results was finally asking for help.
"Click Here To Grab Your Black Friday Deal Now"!
Tune in now... and let this be the moment you decide you don’t have to do it alone anymore.
Let’s be honest — you’ve probably said it before:
“I’ll start after the holidays.”
“When things slow down.”
“When life isn’t so crazy.”
But here’s the truth… waiting until “when” is the very thing keeping you stuck. It’s why you keep starting over every few months — and why your goals always feel just out of reach.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the real reason you keep falling into the “I’ll start when…” trap — and how to finally move through it. You’ll learn how to stop waiting for the perfect time, start taking messy action now, and build the kind of consistency that actually lasts (even when life feels chaotic).

I’m so excited to be back on my dear friend Lauren Trout’s podcast, Mind Your Mama! 💛
In this episode, we dive deep into something every mom knows too well — overwhelm. We talk about what it really looks like, why it happens to so many women, and how you can still make progress toward your goals even when life already feels like too much.
We unpack the mental load, the guilt, and that constant feeling that there’s never enough time… and we share real, practical ways to move forward — without adding more to your plate.
If you’ve ever felt stuck between wanting change and feeling too exhausted to chase it, this episode will remind you that progress is possible — even in the middle of the chaos.

If you’ve been avoiding your favorite foods because you think that’s what you should do to see progress… I get it.
But here’s the truth — that mindset is exactly what’s keeping you stuck in the start–restart cycle.
In this episode, I’m breaking down why avoiding the foods you love is slowing your results, and how learning to include them (without guilt) is actually the key to consistency and freedom.

In today's episode, I talk about something that most women struggle with, binging food at night time.
I used to end most nights on the couch, watching Real Housewives, binging on sweet treats — wishing I looked like them and hating that I couldn’t just stop eating. In this episode, I’m breaking down why that kept happening and what finally helped me end the cycle for good.

You’ve probably heard that eating more protein helps with fat loss.
So you started making the swap — more chicken, Greek yogurt, protein shakes… but the scale isn’t moving.
In this episode, I’m breaking down what’s actually going on when you increase your protein and still don’t see results — and what adjustments you might need to make so your body starts responding.
If you want to understand how to set and adjust your macros in a simple, sustainable way, you’ll love my Macros Made Simple Workshop.

In today's episode, I’m opening up my personal journal and sharing some of the most valuable insights that completely shifted my perspective.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of doubt and defeat, these shifts might be exactly what you need to see that change is possible for you, too.

Restrictive dieting doesn’t just leave you hungry — it chips away at something much deeper. Every time you “fall off” another set of rigid rules, it plants the lie that you don’t have enough willpower… that you’re broken… that you’ll never figure this out. But the truth is, it’s not you. It’s the diets. And the longer you’re stuck in that cycle, the harder it feels to trust yourself around food. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what restrictive dieting is really doing behind the scenes — and how to finally start rebuilding your confidence, your freedom, and your relationship with food.

I honestly wasn’t planning to record this episode… but so many of you have been asking me about GLP-1s like Zepbound and Wegovy that I knew it was time to share my thoughts. In this episode, I’m breaking down what they are, what they actually do in your body, and the real trade-offs you need to know before jumping on the hype—or if you’re already on them. My goal isn’t to tell you what to do—it’s to give you clarity so you can make the best choice for yourself.
Learn more about macro counting so that you can maximize GLP-1 benefits—by ensuring you get enough protein.

I’ll share facts most women don’t know, my personal story of healing my relationship with the scale, and give you a simple action step to start taking your power back today.

If you’ve ever thought, “I just can’t track every bite forever,” this episode is for you.
The truth? You don’t have to. In fact, macro counting isn’t the endgame—it’s the training wheels that help you build trust, consistency, and confidence with food. I’m breaking down how I teach my clients to use macro tracking as a tool—not a life sentence—so they can enjoy food again and keep the results they’ve worked so hard for.
We’ll talk about the shift from all-or-nothing to flexibility, how to know when you’re ready to stop tracking, and what real food freedom looks like without backsliding into old patterns.
