In this episode of Whiskey and Work, Kelsey sits down with Laura Conley — certified life and weight loss coach, speaker, and creator of The Yummy Mummy Experience — for a refreshingly honest conversation about food freedom, self-trust, and why willpower isn't the answer. Together, they explore how mindset, not macros, is the key to sustainable weight loss and why emotional freedom should be the real goal. Laura shares her journey from chronic dieter to empowered coach, offering game-changing insights on identity, control, and how to finally feel at peace around food. If you've ever felt stuck in a cycle of "starting over," or like your life is ruled by what you eat (or don't eat), this episode is your invitation to stop striving and start trusting. Get ready to rethink everything you thought you knew about weight loss, wellness, and what it means to feel good. What we're talking about…   Permanent weight loss is an amazing side effect of deeper internal work—not the primary goal. It's not about food addiction—it's about thought patterns and beliefs.   How women are often following all the "right" wellness tips, but still feel stuck.   Why mindset coaching fills the gap between knowledge and actual transformation.   Stop relying on discipline—start relying on self-concept.   Visualizing future-self choices to guide present behavior.   Learning to sit with urges without reacting.   How trusting yourself creates real transformation in both body and business.   Releasing perfectionism and embracing sufficiency.   Prioritizing presence over productivity.   Creating a life that feels delicious—even outside of food.   To learn more or connect with Laura visit the links below!  A {free} Tool or Two!  Did someone say free?
