Stop blaming your family for your holiday weight gain. You know exactly who pushes your buttons, but your triggers aren’t about them, they’re about how you respond. And if you’re a high-achieving career-driven woman who is already over the drama and you refuse to start January in a hangover full of food regret, you need to hear this. 

In this episode, you’ll get the 5 ways your family drama and holiday triggers cause real weight gain… and 5 simple steps to shut it down so you can stay in control.

Together, we will investigate:

• Why your family isn’t causing your holiday weight gain, and the real psychology behind emotional triggers.
• The top 5 holiday triggers most women face. 
• The connection between holiday stress, cortisol spikes, and increased cravings.
• The strange yet effective FBI-inspired strategy to counter these holiday emotional eating triggers. 
• How to create a holiday game plan so you stay in control, instead of spiraling into the family drama (and eating everything in sight in the process).
• The 5-step trigger-proof framework to prevent emotional eating and stay grounded through the season.
• How to build a maintainable, healthy relationship with food so January isn’t a regret-fest.

Nutritionists and dieticians are going to hate me because what I share in this episode goes completely against everything they’ve been preaching. You know… the calorie deficit and macro counting and portion control and those sad little salads that leave you miserable, hangry, and wanting to demolish an entire bag of cookies. 

Today, I’m exposing the 4 hacks that fix 97% of overeating and binge eating problems… for good.

Together, we will unpack:

• Why the “work hard and follow the rules” Playbook that made you successful in your career is actually sabotaging your weight-loss results.
• The #1 question to ask before starting any diet (and why most women never do).
• Why the scale tells you nothing about your health, and the 3 indicators that actually predict long-term success. 
• The shocking truth about “everything in moderation” and how it actually works against you.
• The difference between fat loss and weight loss, and why most women focus on the wrong thing.
• The hidden trap of “healthy” foods and superfoods that secretly cause inflammation and weight gain.

I think, especially as women, we grow up with this idea in our head of what our perfect life is supposed to look like. We have a successful career, we have a wonderful spouse and kids…

This is what you’ve always said was supposed to make you happy right? So let me ask you this… if this is what you’ve always dreamed about… are you really happy?

So often when we hear about a comeback story, we think about overcoming this big adversity. But here’s the thing. We are at a place in our lives right now, where that comeback… looks like coming back to a life that isn’t burning the candle at both ends. Coming back to a life where you don’t collapse in a heap of exhaustion at the end of the day. Coming back to a life where you find that happiness again and you get your joy and your sparkle back.

Today I am going to answer the question, how can you create your own comeback story?

The answer is powerful, it involves… an 80’s movie montage…  And I think it’s going to surprise you.


Together, we will unpack:

• How can stress and inflammation perpetuate a cycle of suffering in our lives?
• Why is it important to take responsibility for our own health and well-being?
• The key steps for creating a successful "comeback story" in life.
• How we shift our mindset and habits to achieve self-love and personal growth.
• What role do visualization and goal setting play in shaping our future selves?
• Making peace with our past and taking personal responsibility leading to positive transformation.

If your mornings are full of chaos, which then creates a day full of chaos, this episode is for you.

What if… I told you that there was a way that you can take 6-10 minutes – the exact amount of time that you probably spend dreading getting out of bed… and stack your morning with proven, ancient traditions that not only give you a head start on your day, but will help you to create your miracle life.

On today’s episode, my guest, Hal Elrod, is going to answer the question… how can you create your Miracle Morning and Miracle Life? Even if you aren’t a morning person.

The answer is powerful, and I think it’s going to surprise you.

Together, we will unpack:

• What is the Miracle Morning, and how can it change your life? 
• What specific benefits do the S.A.V.E.R.S. have in creating your optimal day?
• Can you really do this in 6-10 minutes? And does it have to be in the morning or can you practice any time of day?
• The 2 biggest misconceptions about affirmations.
• How you can create your miracle evening for optimal restorative sleep.
• Hal's experience with heartfelt gratitude in overcoming a tragic car accident, cancer, and other adversities in life, and why it's important to be grateful for more than just the good things in life. 

Hal Elrod is an international keynote speaker and the author of 12 books, most notably The Miracle Morning, which has sold over 3 million copies, and has recently been expanded by 70 additional pages and 2 additional chapters, including the Miracle Evening and the Miracle Life. His mission is to elevate the consciousness of humanity, one morning at a time, and he has certainly done that, not just with the millions of readers, but for me personally.

Hal’s list of adversities that he’s overcome in his life is a mile long, and we’ll get to that in the interview, but it’s not the adversities, it’s how he’s overcome them and turned them into perspectives and practices that are going to transform your life, like they did mine.

Do you enjoy the failures, the disappointments, and the difficult times? I’m guessing probably not. Most people don’t. Most people don’t wake up and say I can’t wait to be a failure today woo hoo!

Most people want the better things in life. They want to eat healthier, they want to exercise more consistently, they want to have better finances, they want healthier relationships. We all want the things that improve our life, right? Most people have the knowledge… they know in their heads exactly what the actions they need to do to get to the other side. And yet… most people stay stuck in their backwards motion. Because they think that all they need to do is to change their actions. So they try to change their actions, but when they do, it doesn’t work. And then they give up.

On today’s episode, we are going to answer the question… why is it that when I know what I’m supposed to do to improve my situation… why am I constantly going backwards?

The answer is powerful, it involves a ferris wheel, and I think it’s going to surprise you.

We love to blame our midlife hormones for why we’re gaining weight, or why we can’t lose weight. And most of this blame is on estrogen or cortisol. But there are two hormones that we forget about, and when they’re not balanced, your body and brain will work against your weight loss goals, and no amount of willpower or clean eating can fix it. But it doesn’t have to be this way, and there is a solution.

Together, we will unpack:

• Why midlife weight struggles might not be about estrogen or
  cortisol, but two forgotten hunger hormones flying under the radar.

If you want to destroy a woman’s health for good, don’t attack her body.  Attack her identity. Make her question her voice, her worth, her past, and her future.  Make her believe she’s too much… and still not enough. This is Part 2 of how the enemy tries to destroy your weight loss progress and take you out. And today, we’re going in.

Together, we will unpack:

• Learn how “tone it down” messaging is used to silence powerful women in midlife.
• Discover how self-abandonment (disguised as selflessness) is wrecking your health more than any sugar binge ever could.
• Is your discipline actually a disguise? How chasing perfection keeps you trapped in control… and sets you up to crash.
• What if the REAL fear isn’t failure… but freedom? The enemy’s sneakiest move: convincing you you’re not ready for peace.
