This episode is for every woman over 40 who's ready to scream, “I'm doing EVERYTHING right… and still gaining weight!” 

If you’ve been eating clean, hitting your protein goals, going to yoga, and guzzling water like it’s your job—but the scale still won't budge—this might be the episode that sets you free.

 

Because here's the tea: you can't lose weight if you're stressed out.

 

Period.

 

In this episode, I break down why cortisol is the silent saboteur keeping you stuck—and what to do about it (without quitting your job or moving to Bali). Plus, I’ll share how I reinvented my lifestyle after being diagnosed with adrenal fatigue and how I now teach my clients to lead themselves through stress like grown women.

 

And yes—I'll walk you through my go-to De-Stress & Rest ritual (the real MVP of this launch season).

 

We’re not doing band-aid solutions over here. This is identity-level healing that helps you become the woman who keeps it off—for good.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why high cortisol shuts down fat loss (even if you're eating perfectly)
• The shocking moment my Oura Ring told me I was in a 7-hour stress spiral
• How I stopped the treadmill mid-step and flipped the script on stress
• My personal De-Stress & Rest ritual (magnesium, sleepy tea, and legs-up-the-wall magic)
• Why Learn & Lose includes a lesson called “Stress Less Without Giving Up Your Favorite Foods” (yes, we talk about brownies!)
• How the Stress Scorecard reveals your hidden stress patterns—and helps you reset fast

You're tracking your food.
You’re hitting your protein.
You’re doing “everything right.”

So why isn’t the weight moving?

In this bonus episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the missing piece: your mindset.

In this unapologetic bonus episode, I’m sharing what most weight loss coaches won’t: The truth about what happens after the before and after.

EP 239. [Self-Sabotage Series] The Dirty Little Secret Behind Emotional Eating—And How to Break Free

The world feels heavier these days. The news is relentless, stress is high, and your brain is doing everything it can to create a sense of safety. But here’s what no one tells you—your emotional eating has nothing to do with food. It’s not about willpower, discipline, or trying harder.

It’s about self-sabotage as self-protection.

When you don’t know how to process your emotions, your brain looks for the quickest way to escape discomfort. Food. Alcohol. Scrolling. Work. It’s not a lack of control; it’s a survival instinct. But if you don’t address this at the source, you’ll find yourself in the same cycle over and over again.

In the final episode of the Self-Sabotage Series, we’re breaking it all down:

• Why your brain clings to old habits, even when you’re determined to change
• How the 24/7 news cycle makes you more vulnerable to emotional eating
• A simple, strategic plan to help you break free for good

This is the conversation that changes everything.

Inside This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• The real reason you keep sabotaging your weight loss goals (and why it has nothing to do with discipline)
• Why emotional eating is a coping mechanism, not a personal failure
• How constant global uncertainty fuels stress-driven habits
• The three-step plan to stop reacting to stress with food
• The one skill you must master to take back control of your body and mind

It’s time to step into something different. If you’re ready, let’s begin.

EP 238. [Self-Sabotage Series] How to Stay Consistent—Even If You’ve Never Made It Past Week 2

Ever feel like you just can’t stick to anything? You start a new plan, you’re all in, and then… two weeks later, you’re already looking for something new.

 

That’s what we call uprooting, and it’s one of the most common self-sabotage patterns keeping women stuck in a cycle of starting over. But what if I told you that the problem isn’t the plan—it’s how you’re thinking about the plan?

 

In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly why you keep quitting, how to tell if you’re making a strategic change or just sabotaging yourself, and the one simple rule that will change everything: The 90-Day Rule.

 

If you’re ready to finally follow through and get the results you’ve been chasing, grab your matcha and let’s go.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why uprooting is disguised as self-improvement—but it’s actually sabotage
• 3 questions to ask yourself to know if you’re really making a smart change
• The science behind why 90 days is the magic number for transformation
• How to commit (without freaking out) even if you’ve never made it past week 2
• A journal prompt to help you shift your identity into a woman who follows through
