Trying To Be “Good” is Making Weight Loss Harder Than It Needs To Be
On this Veterans Day episode, I’m sharing something you might not know about me: I’m a former military spouse. For years, I felt like I wasn’t a “good” military wife. I had no support system, a demanding corporate career, a two-hour daily commute, and two little boys at home while my husband was deployed. I measured myself against a standard that didn’t fit my life, and it made everything harder than it needed to be. I see women do the exact same thing with nutrition. “I was so good this week...

The Thing I’m Scared to Say on Social Media But Will Tell You Here About Weight Loss (Part 2)
Back in episode 33, I talked about why the typical American diet makes weight loss harder than it needs to be. Today’s follow-up covers the other critical piece: movement, or more accurately, how little of it most of us get. Before my 75-pound weight loss, I was getting around 3K steps a day. Today I easily hit 12K, and I still have a desk job and spend my evenings driving my kids to activities. In this episode, I break down why steps matter so much for weight loss and exactly how to get more...

The Thing That Finally Made Weight Loss Doable For Me
If you have been working out, trying to eat well, getting your steps in — and the scale is still not moving — this episode is going to change everything about how you approach your weight loss. This week I am making the case for doing LESS but doing what you do at a level of consistency you have never been able to maintain when you were trying to do everything at once. Because the results you get from doing 10 things at 50% are not the same as the results you get from doing 2-3 things at 95%....

Raising Boys Who Speak Up: What Taking Care of My Body Teaches My Sons
Content note: This episode discusses sexual assault in the context of recent news. No specific details of assault are discussed, but please skip this one if you need to. As a Cornell alum, I've found the news surrounding the Cornell 7 heavy, and one question kept coming back to me as a single mom of two teen boys: Would my boys have spoken up? Beyond the consent conversation, I sat down with my sons to talk about what they'd do as bystanders, the ones in the group chat. But the more I thought...

There are still twelve weeks left in 2026 and that is not nothing! Still plenty of time to see progress towards your weight loss or other goals related to feeling good in your body! This week I am walking you through the exact intention setting exercise I did with my Collective clients last week — because the difference between the women who feel incredible entering the new year and the ones who start over every January is almost never the plan, it’s the specificity of the intention behind it...
