Description

The Confident Body Podcast is for women who want to lose weight without dieting, stop emotional eating, and finally feel calm and confident in their body.


If you know what to do to lose weight but can’t stay consistent, feel stuck in self-sabotage, or keep starting over even though you’re smart and capable, you’re in the right place.


This podcast teaches brain-based weight loss using simple, science-backed tools that actually work with your brain instead of fighting it. You’ll learn how to stop emotional eating, break free from the on-again, off-again diet cycle, and build self-trust so weight loss feels steady instead of exhausting.


We talk about the mental and emotional parts of weight loss that diets don’t tell you, like:




  • Why motivation fades even when you want it badly




  • How emotional eating is a brain pattern, not a personal failure




  • Why dieting makes weight loss harder long term




  • How to lose weight in a way that feels sustainable, calm, and doable




Inside each episode, you’ll get shame-free strategies, practical brain science, and real-life tools to help you stop fighting yourself and start feeling in control around food.


This is weight loss without restriction, without starting over every Monday, and without waiting to feel confident someday in the future.


If you’re ready to stop feeling like you are the problem and start living the life you want to lose weight for, then this is the show for you.

Have you ever felt like your real life will begin after you lose the weight? In this deeply honest episode of The Confident Body Podcast, we explore one powerful question: How do I find my purpose? This conversation began with a simple question from my daughter, and it led to something so many women are quietly wondering themselves. If you’ve been waiting to feel confident, worthy, or ready before stepping into your calling, this episode is for you. Because your purpose is not hiding under your body. It’s available right now. In This Episode, We Cover: The real science behind discovering your purpose Why waiting for weight loss keeps you stuck The difference between “life purpose” and “season purpose” Four research-backed ways to uncover meaning in your life Why your path may feel slow, unclear, or meandering How to stop postponing your gifts You’ll also hear my personal story of searching for purpose, including a pivotal 1am moment of asking, “What’s the point of all this?” There was no lightning bolt answer, but that question began a trail of breadcrumbs that led me exactly where I was meant to go. If you’ve ever felt behind, confused, or unsure of your calling, this episode will remind you that growth often feels like wandering while it’s happening. We explore four research-backed pathways to discovering purpose: Ikigai – the intersection of what you love, what you’re good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for Values clarification – identifying what truly matters to you beyond a number on the scale Energy audits – noticing what lights you up and what drains you Service-based meaning – how contribution expands your life Your life does not begin after the scale changes. It begins when you decide to show up. PS: Let’s spread this message There are women who need to hear that their purpose is not 20 pounds away. If you host a podcast, or you know someone whose audience includes women stuck in the weight loss waiting room, I would love to bring this conversation to them.

Have you ever tried to lose weight and thought, “If I really wanted this, I’d be doing better by now”? This episode is for the woman who knows what to do, has tried everything, and still feels stuck. Not because she’s lazy. Not because she lacks willpower. But because her nervous system doesn’t feel safe letting go of food yet. In this episode of The Confident Body Podcast, we unpack the quiet, painful belief that maybe you just don’t want weight loss badly enough, and why that belief is completely wrong. You’ll hear a powerful analogy that explains why smart, capable women hold on to food even when they want change, how diet culture taught you to blame yourself instead of understanding your body, and what’s actually happening in your nervous system when weight loss feels hard. We talk about emotional eating, stress eating, and why food can feel necessary during hard seasons. You’ll learn how your brain prioritizes safety over weight loss, why willpower breaks down under stress, and how shame keeps you stuck in the cycle of starting over. This episode also introduces a safer, science-based way forward using the LIGHT framework, helping you move from self-blame to self-trust, and from forcing change to creating safety. If you’ve ever said: “I must not want it bad enough” “Why can’t I just do what I know?” “Food is the only thing that helps me cope” “I keep starting over and I’m exhausted” This conversation will feel like a deep exhale. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why wanting weight loss badly has never been the problem How your nervous system uses food as protection Why willpower and discipline fail under stress How emotional eating makes sense from a biological perspective What to do instead of blaming yourself when you overeat How to feel safe enough to change without forcing or fighting yourself This episode is rooted in psychology, nervous system science, and real-life weight loss experiences, explained in simple language that actually makes sense.

What do you do when you try to do everything right and it still falls apart? In this mini episode of The Confident Body Podcast, I share a very real, very human setback I experienced this week when my ebook was unexpectedly blocked on Amazon. Instead of pivoting immediately, I sat on the floor of my closet and cried. And that moment became a powerful reminder of how setbacks actually work in the brain and nervous system. This episode is about walking your talk when things go sideways. You’ll learn why your first emotional reaction is not a failure, how shame and perfectionism show up after disappointment, and how to harness setbacks so they strengthen you instead of stopping you. I also connect this experience directly to weight loss, because the same nervous system responses that show up during life setbacks show up after overeating, scale fluctuations, or missed workouts. If you’ve ever felt discouraged, shut down, or tempted to quit after a setback, this episode will help you understand what’s happening inside your body and how to move through it with confidence and self-trust. What You’ll Learn in This Episode Why setbacks trigger intense emotions like shame, anger, and confusion What’s actually happening in your nervous system when you feel shut down Why “wallowing” is not weakness, and how emotional processing shortens recovery time How asking better questions helps your brain move from panic to problem-solving How the same mental setbacks show up in weight loss and overeating How to turn failure into feedback instead of proof that something is wrong with you Why returning to supportive tools is maintenance, not backsliding Who This Episode Is For This episode is for you if: You feel like you keep “failing” at weight loss or habits You spiral emotionally after setbacks You struggle with perfectionism or good-girl conditioning You want sustainable weight loss without shame You’re tired of starting over and want confidence that lasts Key Takeaway Setbacks are not a problem. They’re a SIGNAL. They are moments your nervous system needs safety, not discipline. When you learn how to regulate first and reframe second, you stop turning temporary struggles into permanent stories about yourself. The way you think about setbacks is the difference between someone who loses weight and keeps it off vs someone who stays stuck.   Get the book my new book LIGHT: The New Psychology of Weight Loss CLICK HERE to get it in ebook format.

Have you ever eaten when you were already satisfied and then felt frustrated with yourself afterward? Not confused, just annoyed, irritated, and wondering why this keeps happening. In this episode, we’re talking about why eating when you’re not hungry isn’t a willpower problem, a discipline issue, or a sign that something is wrong with you. It’s often the result of hidden emotional obstacles your brain learned a long time ago, obstacles you can’t work around until you can actually see them. You’ll hear a real coaching example that shows how food can become a form of protection in moments that feel emotionally charged, judged, or unsafe. We break down how frustration is a signal, not a failure, and why trying harder without investigating what’s in the way keeps you stuck. This episode will help you understand: Why you eat even when your body feels physically satisfied How emotional safety, not hunger, often drives eating What “hidden obstacles” look like in real life, with examples from family dynamics, work situations, and daily stress Why self-judgment creates more stuckness instead of change How to investigate your eating with curiosity instead of criticism You’ll also learn a simple, repeatable process to help you stop blaming yourself and start identifying the emotional roadblocks that make eating feel automatic or out of control. This approach builds self-trust, supports sustainable weight loss, and makes doable hunger feel possible over time. If you’re tired of feeling like you should know better and ready to understand what’s actually happening beneath the surface, this episode is for you. And if this conversation resonates, my book LIGHT goes even deeper, especially in part two where we address hidden obstacles like people pleasing, perfectionism, excuses, and the patterns that quietly keep you stuck.

Okay, let’s talk about mid-January for a second. This is usually the point where motivation dips, routines get messy, and that tiny voice pops up saying, “Well… I guess I already blew it.” That moment even has a name. It’s called Quitter’s Day, and it sneaks up on a lot of people every January. If you’re feeling less excited, less consistent, or tempted to start over, you’re not broken. You’re normal. In this episode, you get a calm, pressure-free breakdown of why Quitter’s Day happens, why it has nothing to do with willpower, and how to keep going without turning January into another false start. You walk through the LIGHT framework, step by step, in a way that actually makes sense when real life gets busy. This isn’t about hype or pushing harder. It’s about learning how to use what already happened so progress doesn’t fall apart the second motivation fades. This episode is for you if: January started strong and now feels shaky You’re worried you already ruined the year You feel stuck between quitting and starting over You want weight loss that lasts without pressure You’ll hear about: What Quitter’s Day really is and why it shows up every year How to stop treating mid-January like a failure point How to use curiosity instead of self-criticism How to gather real data from your habits How to harness results so progress keeps moving How to tend your garden instead of tearing everything down You need a way to keep going when motivation fades. That’s exactly what this episode gives you. And if you want to go deeper, the book LIGHT walks you through this process in a clear, step-by-step way. It’s basically your steady guide for the moments when things feel messy and you’re tempted to quit. You didn’t ruin the year. You’re still learning. You can keep going.   Get the book!

Welcome to Part 2 of Behind the Pages of LIGHT, The New Psychology of Weight Loss. In the last episode, we took a step behind the curtain and revealed how the book explains why weight loss has felt so hard, even when you’re smart, capable, and doing your best. We looked at familiar ideas like people pleasing and fear of success, through the lens of weight loss and named the patterns that quietly drain energy, create self-doubt, and make follow-through feel heavier than it should. Today, we’re going deeper. This episode is about the heart behind the behind-the-scenes. It’s about how this book actually came together, not just conceptually, but emotionally. The moments that surprised me while I was writing, the pieces that clicked into place and made the framework feel sturdy, human, and usable. The parts that turned this from a collection of ideas into something that could actually support you in real life. The whole process of LIGHT is different because it leaves room for learning, for gentleness, for being human. And why it was designed to help you feel steadier, not smaller. We’ll cover how LIGHT works as a laboratory instead of a performance, how emotional eating shifts when you decode it instead of fighting it, how body image changes when you stop staring blindly at the scale and begin to view it through a prism of the real outcomes you want from weight loss, as well as how identity fits into sustainable weight loss. So, are you ready to go deeper behind the pages, into the heart of this work, and see how all of it connects in a way that clicks into place…almost like a light switch?? Let’s go!   Get the book!

It’s here! My book, LIGHT: The New Psychology of Weight Loss is ready and available now. I’m so excited for this book to be out in the world.  Writing a book is a lot like a pregnancy. It’s something that grows with you and through you but not totally of you. And by the end you’re like, “Let’s just get it out there already!”  Today’s episode is a little different, because instead of teaching you something brand new, I want to invite you behind the scenes. This is a sit-down, coffee-in-hand conversation about why this book exists and how it approaches weight loss differently. We’ll cover how familiar ideas finally clicked when I looked at them through the lens of weight loss. Things like: The real reasons you can know what to do and not do it why your brain isn’t sabotaging you (it’s just being normal),  how perfectionism and people pleasing can be turned around to be used in your favor  as well as some personal favorites and behind the scenes stories from writing the book.  So, are you ready to step behind the curtain, hear the real story of how this book came together, and see why this approach finally feels different?

As the year comes to a close, it’s easy to feel pressure to start over, especially when weight loss hasn’t stuck the way you hoped. If you’re tired of diets, exhausted by restarting, and quietly wondering why weight loss never seems to last, this episode is for you. In today’s New Year’s Eve episode, we talk about why “starting over” feels tempting but rarely works, and how to look at the past year without calling it a failure. You’ll learn how to turn what happened into useful information instead of shame, and how to move forward with a structure designed for sustainable weight loss in real life. I walk you through the LIGHT framework, the exact framework my upcoming book is built on, and explain how it helps you stop yo-yo dieting, calm overeating, and build habits that actually hold up as life changes. This episode is for women who want weight loss that lasts, without extremes, without rules, and without another reset. Nothing to fix tonight. Just a steadier way forward.   Get the new book!

Christmas Eve can be a beautiful day, and also a mentally noisy one, especially if food and weight loss have been living loudly in your head. If you’ve ever wanted to fully enjoy a holiday but found yourself distracted by food thoughts, body thoughts, or whether you were “doing today right,” this episode is for you. In this special Christmas Eve episode, we talk about why food becomes such a strong focus on emotional days, and how to gently bring your attention back to what this day is actually about. You’ll learn how food can be part of the holiday without becoming the obsession, and why presence and self-trust matter more than control, especially when it comes to sustainable weight loss. This is not an episode about restraint, rules, or fixing anything. It’s an invitation to slow down, soften the noise, and enjoy today without guilt or spiraling later. Nothing to manage. Nothing to earn. Just a calmer way to be here.   Get the new book! LIGHT: The New Psychology of Weight Loss Click HERE for the digital ebook version   Read my first book: You Are A Miracle   
Have you ever wished your thoughts felt calmer and steadier, especially on the days when weight loss feels like wrestling an octopus made of feelings?

How many times have you told yourself, "I will get back on track after the holidays, because right now is just impossible?” We're often convinced that we need the calendar to calm down—no more travel, no more parties, no more treats—before we can finally make progress toward our goals. But what if the "right time" to lose weight isn't a date on the calendar, but a decision you make today? In this episode, we tackle the myth that the holidays are the "worst time" to be a normal eater. We’ll show you how to swap rigid food rules for real choices, so you can enjoy the season's joy, leave every event feeling light and proud, and step into the new year with trust, not regret. The goal isn't perfection; it's practice. Learn how to be a woman who trusts herself around food, no matter how chaotic the season gets. In This Episode, We Cover: The Myth of the Right Time: Why your brain loves to delay starting, and why waiting for "perfect conditions" is the biggest block to progress. Rules vs. Choices: How rigid dieting leads to secret overeating, and how flexible, normal eating patterns build long-term trust and health. The Plate Plan for Buffets: A simple strategy for navigating parties and buffets by treating the spread like a museum, not a target. Handling Family Food Pressure: How to set kind boundaries and honor the cook and your body, even when love shows up as an extra serving. Baking & Tasting Sanely: Simple plans for enjoying holiday treats and tasting your creations without accidentally eating a whole serving before dinner. Chaos Control: Strategies for travel days and schedule interruptions to keep you feeling steady with simple protein and produce anchors.

Your Holiday Toolkit: Three powerful tools—Choices, Scientist Brain, and Good/Better/Best—to help you run your own game all season long. Key Concepts & Analogies: Learning to Swim: Progress comes from practicing in the shallow end with sparkly lights (the holidays!), not waiting for a quiet lab. The Museum Analogy: You don't carry the whole museum home. Visit a few favorite dishes with full attention, then leave with energy. Love as Sunshine: You can receive love (and thank the cook) without needing two extra scoops of food. Simple Action Step for This Week: Before your next holiday event, ask yourself these three questions: What do I want to enjoy? What is worth it? How do I want to feel later? Let your answers guide your choices. Remember, you don't need perfect days. You need a few steady choices, repeated.   https://confidentbody.coach/tips/ BOOK: You Are A Miracle 
Do you ever feel like you need to fix your body before you can finally step into the bigger life you want? If the voice in your head tells you that you’re not ‘ready’ to be seen, speak up, or go for your biggest goals until you lose weight, this episode is for you. Today, we are joined by special guest, brand strategist, and author Sara Chambers. Sara is the president of Elly & Nora Creative, helping female entrepreneurs step into visibility and claim authority.

In This Episode, We Cover: The Sneaky Link: Why body shame often shows up right when you try to be more visible in your life and business. The Intellectual Cost: How believing you take up "too much physical space" leads you to take up less intellectual space—hiding your ideas and keeping your brilliance quiet. Visibility is Non-Negotiable: Why your decision, actions, and ambition must be separated from how your body looks right now, or how it might look in the future. The Brand That Never Lives: How an unwillingness to be seen in the body you have prevents your brand from truly living and helping your ideal people. Choosing Your Story: Why beauty and body standards are just trends tied to market culture, giving you the power to choose a different, more liberating narrative. The Media Audit: Sara's practical advice for filling your feed with diverse, powerful women doing big things to support your own confidence and ambition. One Small Step Today: Practical ways to feel more powerful in the body you have right now. Key Takeaways & Quotes: "The only true loss is when you hide and no one gets to see what you offer." "You are allowed to decide you disagree. You are allowed to choose a different story about your body, your time, and how you show up." "When you believe you take up too much physical space, you start taking up less intellectual space." Resources Mentioned: Guest: Sara Chambers, Author and Brand Strategist.

Imagine this…the weather is starting to get cooler, and it’s time to get out the winter clothes. You’ve been doing great, working hard with managing your portions, making some solid choices and feeling truly proud of yourself. But that box of winter clothes looms and you can hear the ominous eerie music in your head. Will the jeans fit?  You put on those jeans for the first time this season - and of course they’re freshly washed and not stretched out at all, so they’re kinda tight. A little snug.  And all that great work you’ve been doing, all those positive thoughts you’ve been cultivating, go out the window. Your brain goes straight to its old favorite soundtrack, “This will never work.” You start thinking, What’s the point? And then… you hide. You stop planning your food. You stop reaching out to your AG. and You eat because it feels like there’s no point in trying anyway. Why does your brain do that? Why does it shut down motivation the second there’s a bump in the road? In today’s episode, we’ll cover: Why overwhelm makes your brain time-travel into hopelessness The sneaky science of why motivation disappears at the first sign of “failure” How to stop performing and start learning — so your brain stays on your side As well as how to trade “ugh” for “hmmm” and find your way back to confidence.

Have you ever had a day when your brain just takes off without you? One minute you’re feeling pretty good about your food choices, and the next you’re spiraling because the scale didn’t move, or you ate a handful of chips? Maybe you’ve actually been doing fine and even had some good wins, but your brain finds the one thing that wasn’t perfect and decides that this’ll never work. And you catch yourself thinking, “What is wrong with me? Why can’t I just stay consistent?” Your brain isn’t broken—it’s just doing its job. That it’s actually trying to protect you, even when it drives you off course? Today we’re diving into what it means to be at the wheel of your brain. why your brain automatically looks for problems,  how to handle those “old stories” that pop up again and again,  and how to steer your thoughts on purpose so you can keep moving forward with confidence. You’ll learn how to spot those old mental habits before they steer you off course, how to use them as signals instead of setbacks, and how to choose thoughts that move you forward instead of spinning your wheels in frustration. So buckle up, because today we’re not letting your brain ride shotgun. You’re in the driver’s seat. Let’s go! https://confidentbody.coach/tips/ BOOK: You Are A Miracle
Have you ever thought, “ok I get the whole normal eater thing and I want to be a normal eater... but I still want to lose weight”? Like, you’re totally on board with the idea of dropping diet rules, but you also don’t want to drop your goals? You want to trust yourself and see the scale move, but part of you still wonders, “Can I really have both?”  Because it feels like the moment you start caring about the number on the scale again, you’ve somehow betrayed your new, chill, “normal eater” self. Or on the flip side, if you don’t think about weight loss, you worry you’re giving up on your goals. And that can feel confusing. It’s like your brain doesn’t know how to want progress without turning it into another diet. So how do you find that middle ground — where you’re not obsessing, but you’re also not pretending the scale doesn’t exist? If that’s where you are right now, this episode is for you.  This episode is the sister episode to our last one, “How to Go from a Dieter to a Normal Eater.” In that episode, we talked about the shift from following rules to making choices — how the big difference isn’t about food, it’s about how you think about food. You learned that dieters follow rules, while normal eaters make choices. how normal eaters think about food, how they handle overeats, and how they make maintenance feel livable. Today, we’re building on that. Because once you’ve learned to eat like a normal eater, the next question becomes, “How do I keep that mindset while still wanting results?” In this episode, we’ll cover: how to stop thinking in diet rules and start thinking in results, how to treat your eating habits like an experiment instead of an exam, and how to lose weight in a calm, confident way that doesn’t undo all the progress you’ve made in trusting yourself. As well as how to finally stop asking, “Am I doing this right?” and start asking, “What’s working for me?” So if you’re ready to build on what we started last week and learn how to be a normal eater who still sees results,you’re in the right place. We’re bringing science, sanity, and a sprinkle of sass to the scale today. Let’s go! https://confidentbody.coach/tips/ BOOK: You Are A Miracle 
Have you ever spent so many years dieting that you don’t even know what “normal eating” is supposed to look like anymore? Like, is it eating salads 24/7? Or never thinking about food at all? Or maybe it’s having that magical ability to ignore cake at the office party like it’s a plate of dry broccoli? The thing is, normal eaters aren’t these mystical unicorns floating through life, never thinking about calories, cravings, or cookies. The real difference isn’t about food at all. It’s about how you think about food, and whether you make thoughts, cravings, or overeats a big deal — or just… normal. In this episode, we’ll cover: the biggest mindset shift between a dieter and a normal eater, how normal eaters actually think about food (and why it’s not about being perfect), why maintenance isn’t about easing up but about building a lifestyle that feels livable, and how to finally see that you’re way closer to being a normal eater than you think. So are you ready to shift from rules and rebellion to real choices? Aw yeah, let’s go.   https://confidentbody.coach/tips/ BOOK: You Are A Miracle
