  Struggling With Weight Loss? You Might Need an Alter Ego 15.09.2026 15m

  What if you had an alter ego you could call on when you didn’t feel like working out, making the better choice with food, or doing what you know you need to do? That’s the idea behind the alter ego effect. And it’s not about pretending to be someone you’re not. It’s about using the strengths, values, and beliefs you already have when things get hard. We talk about how we’ve been using alter egos ourselves, including how asking “What would an athlete do?” helped with workouts, food choices, a...

We talk about how to sit with uncomfortable feelings instead of immediately reacting to them with food, why that’s so hard, and practical ways to create a pause and figure out what you’re actually feeling and trying to escape from. If you stru...

Because even when you know you're doing the right things, the results don't always show up right away. Sometimes you have to keep going. Sometimes you have to have a short memory and move on from a mistake. And sometimes you have to be honest enough to admit that what worked for you before doesn't work anymore. That's a big part of...

  We’ve all been there. If we can’t do something perfectly, sometimes we just don’t do it at all. So we skip the workout because we only have 15 minutes. We throw the whole day away because lunch didn’t go as planned. And somewhere in the middle of all that, we wonder why we’re constantly running on empty. In this episode, we get into why that all-or-nothing thinking can leave you feeling burned out, what it does to your mood, your stress, and even your relationship with food. And the answer i...

  The Worst Time To Pause Your Diet 10.08.2026 18m

  The end of summer has a way of testing everything. School starts, work picks back up, and the healthy habits and routines you worked so hard to build feel like they're slipping.

We cover what confirmation bias actually is, why it has nothing to do with effort or discipline, and how to start recognizing it before it derails you again. If you've ever felt lik...

  The Weight Loss Mistake That's Costing You Everything 01.06.2026 17m

  Most people think the problem is the food. The cookie. The ice cream. The unplanned dinner that got away from them. But after 19 years of working with weight loss clients, here's what we've learned. It's never the food. It's what happens right after. That one thought that turns a single slip into a reason to throw the whole day away. Sometimes the whole week. Sometimes longer.
