| Confession: I Gained Weight Without Realizing It… | 21 Oct 2026 | 00:25:16 | |
Have you ever gained weight without really realizing it was happening? One day, you look up and realize that somewhere along the way, your habits have changed, your consistency has slipped, and the things you used to do without thinking have slowly fallen off your radar. That's exactly what happened to me… In this episode, I'm getting vulnerable about something that's a little uncomfortable to admit: I gained weight without realizing it, and I found myself doing the very thing I help my clients learn how to avoid. I'm sharing the habits I started slipping on, the four big excuses I began making for myself, and how those seemingly small decisions added up over time. But I'm not stopping at what went wrong. I'm also walking you through the specific habits I got back to, how I returned to the routines that support my health, and what I'm doing differently to maintain them moving forward. Because here's the thing: knowing what to do doesn't mean you'll always do it. Life gets busy, priorities shift, and it's surprisingly easy to convince yourself that the little things don't matter that much. But those little things do matter. And you don't have to wait until things feel out of control to do something about them. I'm sharing this story because I want you to know that you don't have to be perfect to make progress, and a setback doesn't erase everything you've learned. The goal isn't to never get off track. It's to recognize when you have, stop making excuses, and get back to the habits that help you feel your best. If you've been telling yourself that you'll get back to your healthy habits eventually, this episode is your reminder that you can start making different choices today. — 💌 Connect With Laura:

| Should You Push Through or Should You Rest? Two Questions to Help You Decide. | 14 Oct 2026 | 00:17:03 | |
Is it time to Lock In or time to Chill Out?? This episode will help you decide! Have you ever told yourself you were going to go to the gym, make a healthy dinner, or do something good for your health, only to get to the end of the day feeling completely exhausted and wondering if you should push through or give yourself a break? Or maybe the holidays are approaching, your schedule is packed, and you're wondering if you should just take the rest of the year off from focusing on your health and start fresh in January. I've got two questions for you to start asking yourself in these moments to help you decide whether it's time to lock in and follow through or give yourself permission to rest. In this episode, we're talking about how to navigate those moments when you're torn between sticking to your goals and giving yourself some grace. I'll help you think through the end-of-year struggles that come with busy schedules, holiday candy, and the temptation to put your health on the back burner until January. But we'll also talk about the everyday decisions you face when you're tired, unmotivated, and questioning whether following through on your plans is really what you need. Because sometimes, the best thing you can do for yourself is push through and follow through on what you said you'd do. Other times, the best thing you can do is rest. The tricky part is knowing which one you need in that moment. Tune in to learn the two questions you can ask yourself to make that decision with more confidence, so you can stop second-guessing yourself and start making choices that actually support your health. — 💌 Connect With Laura:

| “You Look Like You’ve Lost Weight!” (The Habits Behind My Client’s Success) | 12 Oct 2026 | 00:11:20 | |
One of my clients got a compliment at the grocery store this week that made me SO proud of her! Someone who works there told her that she looks like she’s lost weight, and I couldn’t wait to brag on her a little bit. In this short episode, I’m sharing some of the things she’s been doing to make progress with her health, from drinking water to making changes with her food and exercise habits. No extreme measures. No complicated plan. Just simple habits that are adding up to real results! I want you to hear her story because I know how easy it is to think you need to do something drastic to see changes in your body. But often, it’s the small, consistent actions you take every day that make the biggest difference. If you’ve been feeling frustrated with your own progress or wondering whether the little things you’re doing are actually making a difference, let this be your reminder that they are worth celebrating. Keep showing up for yourself, keep working on those habits, and give yourself the opportunity to see what happens when you stay consistent! — 💌 Connect With Laura:

| I Still Get Food Noise… Here’s How I Navigate It | 07 Oct 2026 | 00:13:19 | |
What do you do when food noise shows up? Because here's something I want you to know: I still experience food noise too. I know that might surprise you, especially if you've been listening to me talk about healing your relationship with food and quieting food noise for a while. But that's actually the point of today's episode. I recently found myself navigating two different situations where food noise popped up. One happened while I was at a friend's house, and the other happened while I was driving home after going out to lunch. In both situations, I had a choice to make. And I didn't make the exact same choice in each situation. That's important. Because healing your relationship with food doesn't mean you'll never want something just because it's there. It doesn't mean you'll never think about food when you're not physically hungry. And it certainly doesn't mean you'll suddenly become someone who never experiences food noise. The goal isn't to never have food noise. The goal is to know what to do when it shows up. In this episode, I walk you through both of these real-life situations and explain what I was thinking, how I determined what I actually needed, and why I chose to respond differently in each moment. I also share why I intentionally tell you about moments like these. I don't want you walking away from my podcast thinking that I've somehow "figured it all out" and never struggle with food again. That's not real life and it's not the goal I'm teaching my clients to pursue. Instead, I want you to see what it can look like to have food noise without immediately feeling like you've failed. Sometimes the answer is to eat the thing. Sometimes the answer is to recognize that the food noise is a clue and choose something different. The skill is learning how to tell the difference. If you've ever thought, "But what am I supposed to DO when the food noise actually happens?" this episode is for you. — 💌 Connect With Laura:

| "Trying" Is the Reason You're Inconsistent (Tough Love Tuesday) | 06 Oct 2026 | 00:06:55 | |
How often do you say, “I’m going to try to…”? Try to work out. It sounds harmless, but there’s a problem with the word try: it leaves the door wide open for an excuse. In this short but honest tough-love episode, I’m challenging you to pay attention to the way you talk about your goals and to stop giving yourself an easy out before you’ve even started. In this episode, I teach you what to do instead of saying, "I'm going to try." --- This is your quick reminder that sometimes you don’t need another strategy, another plan, or more motivation. You just need to make a decision and follow through. — 💌 Connect With Laura:

| Oops, I Binge Ate Again… (& How I Got Out of That Cycle) | 30 Sep 2026 | 00:23:19 | |
Think about all the times you started your day with: “I’m serious today. I’m not eating sugar. I’m staying on track.” And then somehow, by the afternoon, you’re standing in the kitchen eating the very thing you promised yourself you wouldn’t? Then comes the guilt. The frustration. The “Why did I do that AGAIN?” And the promise that tomorrow will be different. I know this cycle because I lived it. For a long time, I would wake up each morning determined not to eat candy or sugar that day. I genuinely believed I was going to make a different choice. But almost every afternoon, I would find myself binge eating the very foods I had spent the entire day trying to avoid. And then I’d start the cycle all over again the next morning. Oops… I did it again. In this episode, I’m taking you into what that experience actually felt like for me, not just the eating, but the constant mental battle that happened before, during, and after it. And more importantly, I’m sharing some of the things I wish I had understood sooner. Because if you’re stuck in a cycle of restricting certain foods, thinking about them constantly, eventually giving in, overeating or binge eating, feeling guilty, and then promising yourself you’ll “be better tomorrow,” the answer probably isn’t to try harder. There may be something underneath the cycle that needs your attention. I’ll share a couple of things you can start doing right away if you recognize yourself in my story, so you can begin stepping out of the “restrict → crave → binge → regret → restrict” cycle. — DON’T FORGET: if you’re a new listener, make sure you subscribe to the show so that you don’t miss upcoming episodes!

| Staying Consistent with Healthy Habits During Busy Seasons | 25 Sep 2026 | 00:08:40 | |
Sometimes life is just…a lot. Work gets busy. The kids need you. Your calendar fills up. Your normal routines disappear and suddenly your health is the thing that gets pushed to the bottom of the list. If that’s where you are right now, this episode is your reminder that you don’t have to give up on your health just because life is busy. You also don’t need to do everything perfectly. In this episode, I’m encouraging you to stop thinking about your health in an all-or-nothing way and instead focus on what you can do in this particular season of life. Because sometimes taking care of yourself looks like a full workout and a perfectly planned week. And sometimes it looks like drinking more water, eating a protein-filled breakfast, taking a 10-minute walk, or simply making one choice that supports you instead of saying, “I’ll start again when things calm down.” Your health doesn’t need to be perfect to matter. And you don’t need to wait for life to slow down before you start taking care of yourself. — 💌 Connect With Laura:

| Hard Truth: If You Keep Doing the Same Thing, You’ll Keep Getting the Same Result | 23 Sep 2026 | 00:17:59 | |
What if the very things that make you feel comfortable are the things keeping you from reaching your health goals? In this episode, I’m referencing a children’s book about a little tree who refuses to let go of his leaves because they’re familiar and comfortable. The problem? He can’t grow. And eventually, he finds himself in the exact same place, season after season, because he keeps holding onto the very thing that’s keeping him stuck. Sound familiar? Sometimes we do the same thing with our health. We keep choosing the habits, routines, thought patterns, and behaviors that feel safe and comfortable…while expecting a different result. We tell ourselves we’ll change when we feel more motivated. When life calms down. When we’re more confident. When we’re ready. But growth often requires doing something that feels uncomfortable first. In this episode, we’ll talk about what The Little Tree can teach us about your health and wellness journey, and why taking a chance on yourself might mean finally letting go of something you’ve been holding onto for far too long. At the end of the episode, I’ll give you a simple challenge: identify one thing you’ve been doing over and over again that isn’t getting you where you want to go…and consider what might happen if you were willing to do something different. You don’t have to completely reinvent your life. You just have to be willing to let go of something that’s keeping you from growing. — Have a topic you want covered in an episode?

| The Moment I Realized My Relationship with Food Was Healing | 16 Sep 2026 | 00:14:50 | |
What if the proof that your relationship with food is healing doesn’t look like a big transformation? What if it’s one tiny moment that makes you stop and think, “Wait… I would have NEVER done that before.” In this episode, I’m sharing a couple of stories from when my relationship with food was really broken (moments when food controlled my thoughts, my choices, and honestly, way too much of my life). But then I’m sharing the first moment when I realized something was actually changing. It wasn’t dramatic. I didn’t wake up one day and suddenly have a perfect relationship with food. It was a small moment. And that moment showed me that all of the work I had been doing was actually working. If you’re frustrated right now because you feel like you’re trying so hard but aren’t seeing the changes you want yet, I want you to hear this episode. Because sometimes healing happens quietly before you even realize it’s happening. Keep going. The small moments matter and one day, you might look back and realize just how far you’ve come. — Ready to get organized??

| Listen To This If You've Been Thinking About Joining the Food Noise Bootcamp | 13 Sep 2026 | 00:16:10 | |
You already know what to do. So why is it still so hard to actually do it? If you’ve ever thought, “I KNOW what I should be eating. Why can’t I just do it?” ... I made this episode for you. Because your problem probably isn’t a lack of nutrition information. It’s not that you need another diet telling you what you can and can’t eat. And it definitely isn’t that you need to “try harder.” The real work is figuring out why you can know exactly what to do and still find yourself giving in to food noise, sugar cravings, emotional eating, or the urge to keep eating when you aren’t even hungry. That’s the work we do inside the Food Noise Bootcamp. You’ll learn how to recognize what’s making your food noise loud, understand the patterns behind it, and build habits that work in your actual life, not some imaginary version of your life where you have unlimited time, energy, and motivation. Because the goal isn’t perfection. The goal is to stop feeling like you’re constantly fighting yourself around food. If you’ve been thinking about joining the Food Noise Bootcamp, don’t overthink it.

| What comes first: Weight Loss or Healing Your Relationship with Food? | 09 Sep 2026 | 00:29:06 | |
What if the reason you keep struggling to lose weight has less to do with your food choices and more to do with your relationship with food? In this episode, I’m walking you through two very different versions of the same day: the woman who prioritizes weight loss before healing her relationship with food, and the woman who learns to heal her relationship with food first and then uses those skills to pursue sustainable weight loss. We’ll look at what happens when you’re constantly restricting, labeling foods as “good” and “bad,” fighting food noise, relying on willpower, and starting over every time you feel like you’ve messed up. And then we will explore how different life can look when you stop treating food as the enemy. Because sustainable weight loss isn’t about becoming better at dieting. It’s about becoming someone who can make healthy choices without needing to be perfect. — JOIN THE FOOD NOISE BOOTCAMP TODAY: https://bhealthyhabits.com/food-noise-bootcamp — Ready to get organized??

| What’s Different About You vs. Someone Who Doesn’t Have Food Noise? | 02 Sep 2026 | 00:24:11 | |
Have you ever wondered why food seems to take up SO much space in your brain when other people seem to eat, move on, and…not think about it again? Why does it feel like you’re constantly thinking about what you should eat, what you shouldn’t eat, whether you’ve eaten “too much,” or whether you can trust yourself around certain foods? Here’s the thing: you’re not lacking willpower. There are a few key things that people who don’t struggle with constant food noise tend to have in place that you may be missing. And in this episode, I’m breaking down 3 simple differences between you and someone who doesn’t have food noise, because understanding these differences can completely change the way you approach your relationship with food. We’ll talk about what these people are doing differently, why trying to simply “ignore” food noise isn’t the answer, and what you can actually do to start creating more peace around food. And the best part? These are the exact skills I teach inside my Food Noise Bootcamp. If you’re tired of constantly thinking about food, fighting cravings, second-guessing your choices, and feeling like you have to rely on willpower to stay on track, this episode is for you.

| Eating Foods You Actually Like While Losing Weight with Past Clients, Justin and Nicole | 26 Aug 2026 | 00:38:00 | |
What if losing weight didn’t require giving up the foods you love, obsessing over every bite, or relying on willpower? In this episode, I’m joined by two very special guests: a husband-and-wife couple who have worked with me through both my group coaching program and 1:1 coaching. And their transformation is about SO much more than the number on the scale. Together, they’ve lost over 30 pounds, but more importantly, they’ve completely changed the way they think about food, exercise, and taking care of themselves. They no longer live with constant food noise. They’ve learned how to eat foods they genuinely enjoy while still making progress. They’re consistently working out, drinking significantly more water, and (perhaps most importantly) they’ve developed a mindset that allows their healthy habits to actually fit into their lives. In this conversation, they share what it was really like to go through the coaching process, what changed for them, and why they believe working with a coach made such a difference.
What I love most about their story is that they didn't just learn how to “be good” long enough to lose weight. They learned how to live differently. They've built habits they actually enjoy. They've changed the way they think about food. They've stopped allowing food to take up so much mental space. And they've learned how to take care of themselves without feeling like they're constantly dieting. That is the kind of transformation I want for every woman I work with. Because the goal isn't to spend the rest of your life trying harder. The goal is to create a lifestyle where taking care of yourself becomes something you know how to do, and something you actually enjoy. If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of starting over, constantly thinking about food, struggling with consistency, or believing you have to be more restrictive to see results, I hope this conversation helps you see what is possible when you stop trying to do it all on your own. You don't need more willpower. You need the right tools, support, and a strategy that actually works for your life. Listen to this episode to hear their story and get a behind-the-scenes look at what can happen when you decide to stop starting over and finally learn how to create lasting change. — I would love to work with you to give you these same results!

| The Connection Between Your Slow Metabolism and Your Sugar Cravings | 19 Aug 2026 | 00:14:12 | |
Do you feel like you have a constant battle with sugar cravings? You tell yourself you need more willpower, try to avoid sweets entirely, or promise yourself you’ll “be good” tomorrow… but the cravings keep coming back. What if the problem isn’t your willpower at all? In this episode, we’re talking about the connection between sugar cravings, metabolism, blood sugar, and how well your body is being fueled. Your body is constantly working to maintain energy and balance, and sometimes those intense cravings for something sweet are your body’s way of asking for quick, easily available energy. I’m breaking down why under-eating, skipping meals, restrictive dieting, and building meals that aren’t satisfying enough can all contribute to the cycle of energy crash → sugar craving → quick energy → temporary relief → another craving. I want you to stop seeing your cravings as proof that you have no self-control, and instead, start looking at them as information. In this episode, you’ll learn:
If you’re tired of feeling like you’re constantly fighting your sweet tooth, this episode will help you start looking at your cravings through a completely different lens. Your cravings aren't necessarily the problem. They may be the clue. — JOIN THE WAITLIST FOR THE FOOD NOISE BOOTCAMP!

| Building Healthy Habits That Actually Stick with Previous Client, Alison | 12 Aug 2026 | 00:24:38 | |
What does it actually look like to stop obsessing over food? In this special episode, I'm joined by one of my past clients as she shares her journey from constantly thinking about food to living with freedom, confidence, and sustainable healthy habits. When we first started working together, she struggled with food noise, an all-or-nothing mindset, inconsistency, and feeling like she always had to "start over" after vacations, holidays, or weekends. Today, her relationship with food looks completely different. In our conversation, she shares what changed, the habits that made the biggest difference, and why this transformation had nothing to do with more willpower or another restrictive diet. If you've ever wondered whether it's actually possible to stop thinking about food all day, this episode will show you what's possible. In This Episode, We Discuss:
Key Takeaway The goal isn't to have perfect habits. The goal is to build habits that become your normal. When you address the root causes behind food noise and create sustainable routines, healthy choices stop feeling like a constant battle. Lasting change comes from understanding your body, shifting your mindset, and building habits you can maintain for life. — I would love to work with you to give you these same results!

| [On My Sleeve] Why Exercise Is About More Than Weight Loss - My Experience Getting Certified to Teach an Exercise Class at My Gym | 06 Aug 2026 | 00:22:18 | |
This past weekend, I stepped out of my comfort zone and became certified to coach a fitness class at my gym, and the experience taught me so much more than just how to lead a workout. In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of what the certification process was really like, the lessons I learned along the way, and why this experience completely reinforced my belief that movement is about so much more than burning calories or changing your body. If you've struggled to stay consistent with exercise, feel intimidated by fitness, or only see workouts as a tool for weight loss, this episode will help you shift your perspective. Because the goal isn't just to exercise... it's to build a body that allows you to live a longer, stronger, healthier life. In this episode, we'll talk about:
Whether you're just beginning your fitness journey or looking for fresh motivation to stay active, I hope this conversation reminds you that every workout is an investment in your future, not just your appearance. — 💌 Connect With Laura:

| If You're Constantly Thinking About Food, Weight Loss Will Always Feel Hard | 05 Aug 2026 | 00:21:09 | |
Have you ever lost weight only to gain it back because you couldn't keep fighting the cravings? If healthy eating feels like a constant battle, it’s not a character flaw. You HAVE to get rid of your food noise first. In this episode, I'm explaining why sustainable weight loss isn't just about eating less or finding the perfect diet. It's about quieting the constant mental chatter around food. When you're thinking about food all day, resisting cravings, and relying on discipline to get through every meal, weight loss becomes exhausting. And eventually, willpower runs out. I'll walk you through why food noise makes it so difficult to maintain weight loss, what actually causes those constant thoughts about food, and why reducing food noise can make healthy habits feel natural instead of forced. If you've ever wondered why you can lose weight but struggle to keep it off, this episode will help you understand what's really happening and what you can do instead.

| Binge eating 101: Why It Happens and How to Make It Stop | 29 Jul 2026 | 00:19:37 | |
Have you ever felt like you just couldn't stop eating? Maybe it starts with "just one cookie," but suddenly you've eaten half the package. Or you tell yourself you'll only have a small bowl of ice cream, only to find yourself scraping the bottom of the container. Afterwards comes the guilt, the shame, and the promise that tomorrow you'll "be better." If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. In this episode, we're having an honest conversation about binge eating. What it actually is, why it happens, and why it has very little to do with willpower. I'll help you understand the difference between occasionally overeating and true binge eating, share examples that may feel incredibly familiar, and explain the common physical and mental patterns that keep the cycle going. Most importantly, you'll walk away with practical strategies you can begin using today to reduce binge eating episodes without relying on more restriction, guilt, or starting over on Monday. If you've been stuck in the binge-restrict cycle or feel like food has too much control over your life, this episode will help you understand what's really happening and show you a healthier way forward.

| Don't Leave the Restaurant Feeling Miserable: How to Stop Overeating When You Eat Out | 23 Jul 2026 | 00:21:10 | |
Eating at restaurants doesn't have to end with feeling stuffed, uncomfortable, or guilty. For so many people, dining out feels like an all-or-nothing event. You tell yourself you'll "be good," but then the bread basket arrives, the portions are enormous, and before you know it, you've eaten past the point of fullness. You leave feeling like you've failed and promise you'll do better next time. The good news? It doesn't have to be that way. In this episode, I'm sharing simple strategies you can use while you're sitting at the table to help you stay connected to your hunger and fullness cues without feeling restricted or missing out on the experience. We'll also dive into the mindset shifts that make it easier to enjoy your meal without feeling like you have to clean your plate or "get your money's worth." These aren't restaurant "rules." They're practical tools to help you leave the table feeling satisfied instead of uncomfortable. In this episode, you'll learn:
If eating out has become something you fear because you always feel like you overdo it, this episode will give you practical strategies you can start using at your very next restaurant meal. — WORK WITH LAURA:

| Unconventional Opinions About Food Noise (That Shouldn’t Be Unconventional) | 22 Jul 2026 | 00:14:40 | |
What if everything you've been told about food noise is missing the bigger picture? If you constantly think about food, battle cravings throughout the day, or feel like you're relying on willpower to stay on track, you've probably been told that food noise is simply something you need to manage or silence. But what if that's not actually true? In this episode, I'm sharing two unconventional opinions about food noise that challenge the way most people think about hunger, cravings, and appetite. These ideas have transformed the way I coach women who feel stuck in the cycle of obsessing over food, and they may completely change the way you understand your own body. We'll explore why food noise might be trying to tell you something important, how to distinguish between true hunger and mental cravings, and what your body may actually need when those constant thoughts about food show up. You'll also learn how factors like protein, fiber, blood sugar, sleep, and stress influence your appetite and why addressing the root cause is often far more effective than relying on willpower alone. If you're tired of feeling like food controls your thoughts, this episode will give you a new perspective that replaces frustration with understanding and helps you work with your body instead of against it.

The problem is that you're waiting until it's too late to make the decision. In this short but powerful episode, I'm giving you the loving kick in the butt you might need today.

Whether it's going to the gym, meal prepping, taking a walk, or making a healthier choice, the best time to decide isn't after the window has closed... it's before! If you've been stuck in the cycle of procrastination, waiting for motivation, or telling yourself you'll start tomorrow, this episode will challenge your mindset and remind you that your future self is depending on the choices you make today.

| How to Remove Daily Stress and Set Boundaries for Your Health with Jenn Fast | 15 Jul 2026 | 00:39:03 | |
Have you ever looked around at your life and thought, This can't be it? Maybe you're exhausted, overwhelmed, saying yes to everyone else, and wondering why you feel so disconnected from yourself. Burnout doesn't happen overnight, and neither does creating a life that truly aligns with who you are. In this week's episode of Isn't She Powerful, I sit down with burnout and reinvention coach Jenn Fast to talk about what it really means to reinvent your life. After experiencing frightening health challenges of her own, Jenn made the courageous decision to leave her career, repair her marriage, prioritize her health, and intentionally build a life that reflected her values instead of everyone else's expectations. Together, we unpack the connection between chronic stress, burnout, people-pleasing, and poor health (and most importantly, what you can do to change it). Jenn shares a practical framework for identifying when it's time for a life reset, how to reconnect with your values, and why boundaries aren't selfish, they're essential. Whether you're feeling stuck in your career, overwhelmed by family responsibilities, struggling to prioritize your health, or simply sensing that something needs to change, this conversation will leave you feeling empowered to take your next step. In this episode, we discuss:
If you've been waiting for permission to make a change, this episode is it. Reinvention doesn't happen all at once.

| Are You "Off Track" Or Is This Part of Your Health Journey? (Understanding the Difference Between Resting & Giving Up) | 10 Jul 2026 | 00:10:29 | |
You aren't off track. You're living! Have you ever gotten sick, had a family emergency, or simply experienced a season of life that made your healthy habits take a back seat? If so, you're not alone (and more importantly, you're not "off track"). In today's episode, I'm sharing one of the biggest mindset shifts that has helped both me and my clients build lasting healthy habits: understanding that life's interruptions are part of the journey, not proof that you've failed. So many women believe that missing a few workouts or eating differently for a few days means they have to "start over." That belief keeps you trapped in the all-or-nothing cycle, where every setback feels like failure. But true consistency isn't about never missing a day. It's about knowing how to keep moving forward when life inevitably happens. We'll also talk about the important balance between giving yourself grace and holding yourself accountable. While illness, vacations, busy seasons, and unexpected challenges deserve compassion, we also don't want to begin looking for excuses to avoid the habits that help us feel our best. In this episode, you'll learn:
If you've ever found yourself saying, "I have to start over on Monday," this episode will help you replace guilt with confidence and build a healthier mindset that lasts.

| 4 Steps to Getting Back on Track After You Mess Up In Your Health Journey | 08 Jul 2026 | 00:18:43 | |
We've all been there. One weekend turns into a week. A vacation throws off your routine. You overeat at a party, have a binge eating episode, or simply stop doing the habits that were making you feel your best. The good news? You don't need to start over. In this episode of Isn't She Powerful, I'm sharing the exact 4-part strategy I personally use (and teach my clients) to get back on track without guilt, punishment, or the all-or-nothing thinking that keeps so many women stuck. Instead of overcorrecting with restrictive diets, hours of cardio, or promises to "be perfect" on Monday, you'll learn how to approach setbacks with a clear plan that helps you rebuild consistency quickly and sustainably. Whether you've been off track for two days or two months, this episode will help you reset your mindset, remove the emotion from the situation, and confidently take your next step forward. In this episode, you'll learn:
If you've ever felt like one unhealthy meal, one vacation, or one difficult weekend erased all of your progress, this episode is for you. Your success isn't determined by whether you get off track. It's determined by how quickly you return to the habits that help you feel your best. Remember: You don't need a fresh start. You just need your next healthy choice. — WORK WITH LAURA:

In this episode of Isn't She Powerful, I'm sharing exactly how I consistently reach my daily protein goal without spending hours meal prepping or eating chicken at every meal. You'll learn why protein is one of the most important nutrients for women (especially if you're trying to lose weight, maintain muscle, improve your metabolism, balance blood sugar, reduce cravings, or simply feel fuller throughout the day).

| Are GLP-1s the Only Solution to Food Noise? | 24 Jun 2026 | 00:20:43 | |
Do you feel like you're constantly thinking about food? Maybe you've heard people describe GLP-1 medications as a way to finally silence food noise and you're wondering if that's the only solution. In today's episode, we're exploring the relationship between food noise and GLP-1 medications. While these medications can be incredibly helpful for some people, they're not the only path to experiencing less mental chatter around food. I break down some of the most common root causes of food noise that I see in my coaching practice, including undereating, not getting enough protein and fiber, and experiencing blood sugar highs and lows throughout the day. When your body isn't getting what it needs, it's natural for your brain to keep asking for food. You'll learn how simple nutrition and lifestyle shifts can help reduce cravings, improve satiety, and create a greater sense of peace around food, whether you're taking a GLP-1 medication or not. If you've been struggling with constant thoughts about food and wondering if there's another way, this episode is for you. In This Episode, You'll Learn:

Summer is full of opportunities to make memories, enjoy time with family and friends, and step away from your normal routine. But for many women, vacations can also bring anxiety about food, exercise, and the fear of "falling off track." In this episode, we're talking about how to approach vacations with a healthy mindset so you can fully enjoy your trip while still feeling good physically and mentally. Instead of chasing perfection or trying to maintain your entire routine, you'll learn how to establish "bare minimum" goals that help you stay grounded without taking away from the vacation experience. The goal isn't to lose weight on vacation. The goal isn't to earn your meals or burn off every indulgence. The goal is to enjoy your life, create memories, and return home feeling proud of how you showed up for yourself. In This Episode, We Discuss:

| Cancer Prevention 101: The Foods, Habits, and Lifestyle Changes That Prevent Cancer with Deanine Grace Ph.D. | 10 Jun 2026 | 01:05:43 | |
Cancer can feel unpredictable and scary, which is why so many people assume it's mostly determined by genetics. But what if many of the factors that influence cancer risk are actually within our control? In today's episode, I sit down with a cancer prevention expert, Deanine Grace, Ph.D., to discuss the lifestyle factors that can impact our risk of developing cancer and the practical steps we can take to support long-term health. We explore the role of nutrition, fiber, fermented foods, environmental toxins, stress management, and more. One of the most surprising parts of our conversation is learning that only a small percentage of cancers are directly linked to genetics. Instead, many cases are influenced by a combination of lifestyle and environmental factors that accumulate over time. Whether you're looking to be proactive about your health, support a loved one facing cancer, or simply learn how to create habits that support your body's natural defenses, this conversation is packed with practical takeaways you can start implementing today.

| Why The Weight Comes Back Every Time You Lose It (The Science Behind Weight Loss & Maintenance) | 05 Jun 2026 | 00:12:20 | |
Have you ever lost weight successfully, only to find yourself gaining it back months later? If so, you're not alone. And contrary to what many people believe, it isn't always because you "fell off track," lacked willpower, or stopped caring about your goals. In this episode, we're diving into one of the most misunderstood parts of weight loss: what happens after the diet ends. Many women focus entirely on getting into a calorie deficit to lose weight, but very few understand what needs to happen once they reach their goal weight. The reality is that the calorie intake that maintained your previous weight will likely be too high to maintain a lighter body. If you return to eating exactly the way you did before losing weight, the weight often comes back. Not because you failed, but because your body's calorie needs have changed. In this episode, you'll learn:
If you've ever wondered why the weight seems to come back every time you lose it, this episode will help you understand what's really happening and how to avoid repeating the same cycle. --- Enjoying the podcast?

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of “starting over Monday,” obsessing over food, or feeling like you have to be perfect to make progress… this episode is for you! In today’s episode of Isn't She Powerful, I’m joined by a previous Seismic Shift client who shares her full transformation story. It’s not just a physical transformation, but mentally and emotionally too. She opens up about what life looked like before joining the program: constantly living in an all-or-nothing mindset, struggling with her relationship with food, and feeling frustrated trying to stay consistent with healthy eating habits. But over time, she completely changed the way she approaches health and wellness. Now, she’s down 12 pounds, has had perfect labs for the last 5 months, maintains her healthy habits for months after the program, and no longer feels controlled by food. Most importantly, she shares how freeing it feels to finally have a healthy relationship with food and confidence in herself again. This conversation is honest, encouraging, and such a powerful reminder that sustainable change is possible when you stop relying on restriction and start focusing on building habits that actually fit your life.

| Reigniting Your Motivation in Your Health Journey | 27 May 2026 | 00:18:53 | |
In this episode of Isn't She Powerful, we’re talking about something every single person experiences in their health journey at some point: losing motivation. This episode was inspired by a message from one of my clients inside our group chat who opened up about struggling to stay motivated lately and honestly, it sparked such an important conversation. Because the truth is: motivation is not something you “find” once and keep forever. There will be seasons where you feel excited, energized, and ready to give 100%. And there will also be seasons where you feel tired, discouraged, bored, frustrated, or disconnected from your goals. That doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you’re human. In this episode, I’m helping you understand why your motivation may have disappeared in the first place, how to stop relying on motivation to stay consistent, and the mindset shifts that actually help you rebuild momentum in a sustainable way. We talk about the exhaustion that comes from years of yo-yo dieting, how too many food rules can make healthy habits feel miserable, and why not seeing immediate progress can make you want to quit. I also walk you through practical steps to simplify your focus, reconnect with your “why,” and create specific daily goals that help you move forward without falling into all-or-nothing thinking. If you’ve been feeling stuck, unmotivated, or tempted to give up on your goals, this episode will help you reset your mindset and take your next step forward. In this episode, we cover:

| [On My Sleeve] How I'm Maintaining Healthy Habits While Life Feels Heavy | 22 May 2026 | 00:18:22 | |
In this bonus episode of Isn't She Powerful, I’m sharing a more personal conversation about what it looks like to stay consistent with healthy habits during emotionally heavy seasons of life. Life doesn’t pause when things feel hard. Stress, sadness, grief, overwhelm, anxiety, disappointment, and uncertainty can make even the smallest habits feel difficult. And when emotions are high, it’s easy to fall into the mindset of “I’ll start again when I feel better.” But what if consistency wasn’t about being highly motivated… and instead about continuing to care for yourself even when life feels heavy? In this episode, I share the phrase that has been grounding me lately and helping me continue taking action with things like nourishing meals, movement, routines, and self-care (even on difficult days). We talk about what sustainable consistency actually looks like, how to stop viewing hard seasons as “failures,” and how to support yourself without expecting perfection. If you’ve been struggling to stay on track because life feels emotionally exhausting right now, this episode will remind you that small actions still matter and that taking care of yourself during hard times is one of the most powerful things you can do.

In this short episode, I’m sharing what it looked like to care for my health during a week when my routine was completely off and my focus needed to be somewhere else. Last week, I was in South Carolina helping family, and for those five days, my health was not my top priority... but it was still a priority.

And while those choices may not have looked “perfect,” I still made intentional decisions that helped me feel better physically and mentally. In this episode, we talk about:
If you’ve ever struggled to maintain healthy habits while traveling, supporting family, or navigating a stressful season, this episode will remind you that your health does not have to be your number one focus to still matter.
