As women over 40 who balance career, family, and a social life, we are no strangers to goal setting and achievement. But what if there was something quiet lurking in the background standing in the way of achieving your weight loss goal, not because you’re not trying hard enough, but because your body is sending signals that your current capacity is already maxed out? What if it was something that couldn’t be outworked and instead needed a clear process of noticing, naming, and responding to those signals before weight loss was possible or sustainable so you could protect your emotional bandwidth and long‑term stability, not just move the scale? That happens in life, and it definitely happens in sustainable weight loss. So, today’s conversation is a peek behind the curtain, a simple framework for understanding the silent signals your body sends when it’s not quite ready for weight loss… yet. Listen to learn when your energy is best used to prepare your body for weight loss, rather than strive for changes on the scale, and save this episode for the moments you need a reminder to honor your capacity.   **NEW OPPORTUNITY: Get It Off Keep It Off Intensive** Uncover what's tethering you to unwanted patterns and receive a 90-day comprehensive plan to move the needle.

By now, you’ve seen no shortage of strategies to resist Christmas treats, along with endless “healthier” versions of your holiday favorites. It’s as if we’ve been conditioned to believe that holiday treats are the enemy, a guaranteed saboteur of weight loss results. But what if avoiding Christmas treats is actually the problem? And what if allowing them, intentionally and without guilt, supports sustainable weight loss after 40?

This is what you have to deeply understand about discouragement on your weight loss journey if you ever hope to reach your weight loss goal, whether it’s for the first or final time.   Discouragement is a signal, but it’s not a stop sign. And knowing what to do in response to that signal makes all the difference. If you don’t understand this, you’ll end up stuck in a counterproductive cycle: starting a promising new approach, feeling deflated when the results don’t match your expectations, and eventually stopping after trying harder doesn’t help.   So today, I’m sharing my 3-part framework for managing discouragement so that it never stops you from reaching your weight loss goal again.   Ready to set yourself up for sustainable weight loss success?   Book a Breakthrough Coaching Session today.

Most women over 40 already know the basics of weight loss: create a calorie deficit, eat enough protein, and move your body. And yet, so many smart, motivated women still struggle to create the sustainable results they want. So where’s the disconnect? The problem isn’t a lack of knowledge or effort. It’s the presence of silent saboteurs—gaps that quietly derail consistency and stall progress, even during periods when you’re “doing everything right.” In today’s episode, I’m breaking down three gaps that silently sabotage weight loss after 40. These aren’t obvious mistakes, and they’re rarely talked about—but once you see them, you’ll never miss them again. And when you can finally identify what’s been holding you back, you’re positioned to close the gaps and get the results you deserve.   Ready to set yourself up for sustainable weight loss success?   Book a Breakthrough Coaching Session today.

If you’re a woman over 40 who wants sustainable weight loss, you’ve probably been told that success depends on more discipline, stricter tracking, better willpower, and squeezing one more thing into an already full life. Maybe you’ve tried to push harder or juggle “self-care” with everyone else’s needshop, ing that if you just do enough, the results will finally stick. But what if everything you think you need… isn’t actually what creates sustainability? What if the real key to transforming your health after 40 isn’t something you buy, download, or add to your task list — but something you give yourself? In this episode, we’re unwrapping a gift that doesn’t cost a dime and yet has the power to change how you care for your health whether you’re starting right now or in the new year.

If you’ve ever eaten dessert and immediately spiraled into guilt, panic, or “I’ve ruined everything” thinking… you’re not alone. For so many women over 40, sweets aren’t just food—they feel like a threat to weight-loss progress. But what if it’s not the dessert that derails you… What if it’s the story you tell yourself after you eat it? You’ve probably heard that you need to avoid sugar, follow rigid rules, or rely on medication just to keep cravings in check. But the truth is, there’s a single mental shift that can stop the guilt spiral and help you enjoy dessert without undoing your results. In today’s episode, I’ll share the pattern I discovered that consistently separates women who can confidently enjoy dessert and still get results from those who feel like one bite will send them off the rails. Addressing this pattern leads to clearer hunger signals, calmer cravings, and more confidence in every food decision you make.   Ready to set yourself up for sustainable weight loss success?   Book a Breakthrough Coaching Session today.

If you’ve been feeling out of control with food lately — eating more than you planned, fighting cravings, or feeling like your hunger has a mind of its own — you’re not alone. This is one of the most common struggles women over 40 face, especially during the holidays. You may have heard that the solution is to cut out entire food groups, follow rigid meal plans, or even consider medication just to get a handle on cravings. But the truth is there may be a simple shift you can start today that doesn’t require a prescription or overhauling your daily meals forever... and it won’t keep you from enjoying holiday food and fun. In today’s episode, I’m sharing a surprising pattern I’ve seen over and over again while coaching women and why that pattern holds the key to finally understanding your hunger, quieting cravings, and creating sustainable weight loss without constant willpower.

I've talked to so many women over 40 who tell me, "I feel so out of control during the holidays." They head into Thanksgiving and Christmas with the best intentions and high hopes — especially around healthy eating and weight loss — but one choice snowballs into weeks of overeating, cravings, and holiday weight gain. Then January rolls around, and they're starting over… again. If you've ever felt this way, you're not alone. Holiday eating is harder after 40, but it doesn't have to lead to weight gain or self-sabotage. In this episode, I'm sharing three simple meal strategies that help women over 40 stay in control around food, feel satisfied, and protect their weight loss progress — even during the holidays. No restriction, no rigid rules, no “start again in January” thinking. It's an episode you can't afford to miss.   Mentioned in This Episode: Episode 118: How to Lose Weight without Giving Up Sugar Episode 184: Feeling Out of Control with Sweets?

Most women over 40 don’t need another meal plan, detox, or complicated habit tracker. They need clarity on what actually moves the needle. If you're already eating mostly whole foods, paying attention to calories (even loosely), and getting in some movement, you’re not missing education — you’re missing precision. In this episode, you'll learn the two often overlooked skills that separate women who “try hard” from women who consistently lose weight — even during busy seasons, travel, holidays, or stress. Once you understand them , everything becomes easier. If you've been doing “all the right things,” but your progress doesn’t match the effort, this conversation will finally give you the missing link.   Ready to set yourself up for sustainable weight loss success?   Book a Breakthrough Coaching Session today.

Most women over 40 already know what to do to lose weight: eat enough protein, move your body, get your steps, sleep, manage stress, and keep calories in check. So why doesn’t that knowledge translate into consistent, sustainable results? In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on one habit every successful client of mine develops — no matter their schedule, personality, fitness level, or starting point. This habit isn’t flashy. It’s not complicated. And it has nothing to do with restriction, perfection, or white-knuckled discipline. But it is the difference between another season of stopping and starting… and finally getting results that last. Whether you’re just getting started or ready to stop repeating the same weight loss cycle, this one habit can be the turning point. And, it's holiday season friendly.   Ready to set yourself up for sustainable weight loss success?   Book a Breakthrough Coaching Session today.
