Today I’m talking with Alexandra Janelli, founder of GoBurble, the next-gen hypnosis app that lets you build your own guided session in four clicks. Think “choose-your-own-adventure” for your subconscious. We talk about why willpower taps out after lunch, how safety turns off the snack siren, and why identity is the missing ingredient in your weight loss.
Alex and I also spill the tea on our collab: Stop Dieting Forever inside GoBurble. It’s my identity-based weight loss philosophy translated into subconscious language so your brain stops arguing and starts upgrading. No moralizing food. No “start over Monday.” Just you, calm and in charge.
If meditation never quite stuck, this is your bridge: short, personalized tracks, different every time, designed to help you feel safe, hear your natural “I’m done” signal again, and rewire the habits that keep you stuck on the struggle bus.

EP 272. How to Stop Freaking Out When the Scale Goes Up
Wednesday Oct 15, 2025
Wednesday Oct 15, 2025
You know that Monday-morning moment when you step on the scale after a fun weekend… and it’s up three to five pounds? Cue the mental chaos: What did I eat? Why did I do that?
Take a deep breath, friend. The scale didn’t betray you — it just gave you data.
In this episode of Stop. Dieting. Forever., I’m teaching you how to decode those numbers and ditch the drama. You’ll learn the Stop Dieting Forever Mindset — how to turn scale spikes into simple feedback, and how to use my five-point Satisfaction Scale so you can trust your body, not a diet rule.
We’ll talk hydration, hormones, nervous-system calm, and why babies and zebras are your new nutrition mentors (yes, really).
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
-
How to reframe the scale as data, not doom
-
Why daily weight fluctuations are normal (think stress, sleep, sodium + glycogen)
-
The Satisfaction Scale (1 = starving → 5 = satisfied) and how to use it
-
The hidden link between emotional regulation and consistent weight loss
-
How to activate your natural “stop button” — aka your appestat
-
The mindset shift that separates a dieter from a woman who’s done dieting forever

EP 271. How to Stop Craving Dessert Before You Even Finish Dinner
Wednesday Oct 08, 2025
Wednesday Oct 08, 2025
If you’re planning dessert halfway through dinner, you don’t have a sugar addiction—you have a satisfaction deficit. In EP 271, I unpack why your brain chases dessert (anticipation addiction, dieter’s mindset, and distraction), how to create satisfaction on purpose, and the simple experiments that end constant food thoughts. This is identity-based weight loss for grown women who want results without food drama.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
-
Why “I’m addicted to sugar” is really a satisfaction problem
-
The dieter’s mindset that keeps meals low-fat, low-flavor—and low joy
-
How distraction at dinner fuels emotional eating and second helpings
-
A simple pre-meal question that creates instant presence and control
-
How protein + fiber + healthy fats support blood sugar and satisfaction
-
Why planned dessert beats impulse dessert (and rebuilds self-trust)

EP 270. How to Lose Weight Consistently (Even When You're Not Motivated)
Wednesday Oct 01, 2025
Wednesday Oct 01, 2025
What if I told you the real reason you keep failing at weight loss has nothing to do with food, hormones, or willpower?
It’s because your why is all wrong.
In this episode, I’m sharing the simple-but-powerful activity I use with my clients. This little exercise flips weight loss from punishment into freedom. It’s the anchor that keeps you going, even on days when you’re soooo not motivated.
When you find your Core Why, you stop pushing yourself out of guilt. Instead, you get pulled forward by the woman you’re becoming. Pair that with consistency? Boom. That’s when weight loss stops feeling like punishment and finally becomes your lifestyle.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
-
Why surface-level “whys” (like wanting to fit into old clothes) never work
-
How the activity that anchors your motivation
-
The psychology + research behind intrinsic motivation and weight loss success
-
Real client breakthroughs that show how this shifts everything

Wednesday Sep 24, 2025
Wednesday Sep 24, 2025
The weight loss world is changing—and fast.
If you’ve been dieting for years and still feel stuck, this episode is going to open your eyes.
The key difference between women who finally break free and those who stay stuck on the diet rollercoaster isn’t what they eat, how they move, or even which tool they use to lose weight.
In this episode, I’m breaking down what it really takes to become the woman who loses the weight and keeps it off, plus why over 80% of people regain the weight they lose within five years (yep, Harvard research backs this up).
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
-
The 3 strategies women are using to lose weight right now—and their hidden downsides.
-
How the food industry profits from keeping you hooked on “Frankenfoods.”
-
Why stress mastery is the future of weight loss—and how chronic stress blocks fat loss.
-
The critical difference between body needs vs. brain cravings.
-
How to shift your weight identity so you never have to diet again.

EP 268. Weight Loss Over 40 with Nervous System Expert Colleen Faltot
Thursday Sep 18, 2025
Thursday Sep 18, 2025
If you’ve been trying to “think” your way to weight loss while your body is in fight-or-flight, you’re working against biology. In this episode, I’m joined by nervous system and subconscious rewire coach, Colleen Faltot, to show you how to calm your body so fat loss finally feels doable, especially if you’re 40+ and done with white-knuckling.
We talk about what “safety” really means for a woman over 40, why your cravings aren’t moral failures (they’re messages), and how to create micro-moments of regulation that compound into lasting results. You’ll hear identity-based weight loss in action: become the woman whose body feels safe, and the scale follows.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
-
How nervous system regulation accelerates weight loss over 40
-
The three types of hunger
-
Simple somatic tools
-
Daily habits to reduce overwhelm
-
How to stop autopilot eating by reconnecting body signals
ABOUT OUR GUEST
Colleen Faltot knows firsthand what it’s like to look “successful” on the outside while quietly unraveling on the inside.
After years of overachieving, people-pleasing, and spiraling in love, she realized that the real problem wasn’t her mindset—it was her nervous system.
That discovery changed everything.
Now, as a relationship coach and creator of the REGAL™ Method, Colleen helps high-achieving women regulate their nervous systems, release old survival patterns, and feel emotionally safe—both in their bodies and in love.
Her work blends somatic healing, identity repatterning, and emotional leadership to create a deeper kind of transformation—one that talk therapy alone can’t reach.
She believes that when a woman learns to regulate her body, she stops chasing love and starts receiving it like the Queen she is.
Colleen’s mission is to show women that emotional safety isn’t something you wait for—it’s something you build from within.

EP 267. How to Eat More to Lose More Weight: Fix Your Weight Loss Plateau After 40
Wednesday Sep 10, 2025
Wednesday Sep 10, 2025
If you’ve been eating less, watching your portions, and being “good”... but the scale won’t budge, this episode is for you.
I’m sharing why eating less can actually stall weight loss after 40 and what to do instead to break through a plateau.
Most women think discipline is the answer. The truth? It’s not just about the food on your plate—it’s about your weight identity, the deep beliefs you have about your body, and how you think weight loss should work.
When you shift both your nutrition strategy and your identity, you can finally see results that last.
Inside this episode, you’ll also hear about my client who was stuck in a plateau, even though she was following my Satisfaction Scale perfectly. What we discovered about her eating habits will surprise you and might be exactly what you need to hear right now.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
-
Why eating less backfires after 40 (metabolic adaptation explained in simple terms)
-
The role your weight identity plays in keeping you stuck
-
What I track in a 10–14 day Nutrition Review for my clients
