Thin Thinking Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

As a smart, capable person, you might often wonder: "Why do I struggle with weight when I know so much about losing it?" 

You're not alone. I hear this question from new listeners, prospective students, and clients all the time.

In this special birthday episode of Thin Thinking, I'm taking a deep dive into this very topic.

Weight management can feel frustrating, confusing, and overwhelming, especially in today’s culture. But here's the truth—it doesn’t have to be. The solution lies not in what we’re doing, but in how we’re being.

I'll be sharing key mindset shifts that can help you bridge the gap between knowledge and lasting success. 

It’s about unlocking a new approach that aligns with your life and goals—without the frustration.

So, grab your party favor and join me as we celebrate and dive into powerful insights that can truly transform your weight journey.

See you at the party!

As I approach my 60th birthday, I’ve been reflecting on what it truly means to embrace the changes that come with aging. 

In our latest episode of the Thin Thinking Podcast, I dive deep into the emotional journey that many of us experience as we grow older, particularly in relation to our bodies.

For many of us, aging can bring a sense of loss and even grief for the youthful bodies we once had and the ideals we once held. But this episode isn’t just about looking back—it's about reclaiming our power and shifting our perspective. 

Together, we’ll explore how to forgive ourselves for the years spent in self-doubt and learn to celebrate the wisdom and strength that come with age and our amazing bodies.

This conversation is an invitation to transform regret into acceptance and to see our aging bodies not as sources of shame but as testaments to the lives we've lived and the wisdom we've gained. 

I encourage you to grab your best friend—your body—and join me in this important and empowering discussion.

I hope this episode resonates with you and offers a fresh perspective on the beautiful journey of aging.

James Bond may have had the license to kill, but have you ever noticed how we often grant ourselves a license to overeat? 

You know, that little devilish voice in your head responsible for about 98% of the bad food and weight management decisions that derail your best efforts.

In today's short, sweet, and to-the-point episode, we're diving into the "because factor"—that sneaky license to eat that can be a major roadblock to consistent weight release. 

Join us as we explore a powerful thin thinking technique to help you master that rebel voice, achieve more consistency, and move confidently towards health, confidence, and lasting weight mastery.

Shake (not stir) yourself into today's episode and let's get started!

In This Episode, You’ll Also Learn…

• The license to eat: what is it and how does it happen.
• How the license to eat manifests in your subconscious mind.
• The license to shift.

Isn't it that time of year when you just want to get cozy with a great book?

I have a Thin Thinking Read recommendation that I believe you will not only enjoy but that will change the way you relate to yourself in a transformative way.

I was lucky enough to be introduced to Tara Brach's work a few years ago by a dear therapist friend of mine. Have you ever read a book and it's been more than a book but like food for your soul? Well Buddhist psychologist Tara Brach's ground breaking book Radical Acceptance was like a feast of lessons in self-compassion and mindfulness.

If you ever feel like you are living in a perpetual trance of unworthiness? (which we do a lot of our time) I think you will get a lot from this book.

Tara Brach uncovers the trance and shows us a way to become present to ourselves, self-compassionate, and at home in our body.

Join me in the 84th Episode of Thin Thinking and let’s get into more about this amazing book and why I think it's a perfect thin thinking read for the autumn.

In This Episode, You’ll Also Learn…

• Why I recommend this book for people who are trying to lose weight
• Some passages in Tara Brach’s book that inspired me the most 
• Some cool stories that Tara turned into teaching points

This month I am celebrating 20 years of Shift Hypnosis--the business I started to help people use their minds to make big changes in their lives with the use of hypnosis.

I started this business with no prior business experience--especially with tech (I know those of you who are rolling their eyes). I nursed my little teeny baby daughter while reading business books and just trying to figure it out--taking a big risk! And I am so glad that I did.

I am so moved by the countless people who have allowed me to be a part of their journeys of weight mastery. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND LOVE along these two amazing decades. 

My baby girl is now in college and the Shift is going strong with a worldwide community of people who believe in mindpower over willpower and loving ourselves down the scale.

Alone we Diet--TOGETHER WE SHIFT!! I believe it  and in YOU with all my heart.

For the 82nd episode of Thin Thinking, join me as we celebrate Shift Weight Mastery’s 20th anniversary with some excerpts from interviews with 3 Shift Weight Mastery graduates, Janet, Julie, and Maureen, who have kept the weight they lost long term. I am talking 14 years, 9 years, and 6 years.

In the struggle with weight, many times we end up in a self abusive relationship–the way we talk to ourselves and the way we treat ourselves is crueler than the way we would treat our worst enemy.

This inner punishing relationship goes on for years and becomes "normal" Often we don't even see it as abusive, we just see it as the way we control ourselves. Little do we know, this system of control keeps us struggling.

Join me for the 79th episode of Thin Thinking, as I share some ways on how you can end this self-abusive relationship and how you can start a new inner relationship of self love and self compassion so that you can truly begin to love yourself down the scale.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• The steps to ending the self-abuse cycle
• That the environment you grew up in can cause a huge impact on your self esteem, on your mental health, and your life growing up
• How to tame your inner critic
