88 | How to Get Back on Track After a Setback Without Starting Your Weight Loss Journey Over30 mars 202600:12:14

Have you ever felt like one slip-up completely derails your progress?

Maybe you had a stressful week, skipped your meal prep, or found yourself reaching for comfort food after a long day. Before you know it, that one moment turns into a weekend of “throwing caution to the wind,” followed by guilt, frustration, and the familiar thought:

“I’ll just start again on Monday.”

If that cycle sounds familiar, this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, LaDawn is breaking down why setbacks happen during a weight loss journey—especially for women in midlife—and how the real problem isn’t the setback itself, but the “restart mentality” that keeps so many women stuck in a start-stop cycle.

You’ll learn how to shift your mindset from perfection and punishment to stewardship and consistency.  She’ll walk you through a few simple, practical strategies to help you return to your healthy habits without waiting for the next Monday, month, or milestone.

Because the truth is:

Stewardship doesn’t restart… it returns.

If you’ve ever felt discouraged after getting off track, this episode will remind you that progress is still possible—and that the next supportive choice is always available.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode
  • Why so many women fall into the “start over Monday” cycle
  • How perfection thinking can trigger rebound eating patterns
  • The role stress and hormones can play in decision-making and regulation
  • A faith-centered perspective on caring for your health through stewardship instead of punishment
  • Three simple strategies to help you reset after a setback and stay on track

49 | Stop Dieting and Start Living to Lose Weight22 avr. 202400:17:49

Hey Love!

Ever caught yourself in that familiar cycle? You know the one—promising to start that new diet every Monday, or swearing you'll kick it off at the beginning of next month, or making those grand declarations to eat clean and slim down in the new year?

Yep, been there, done that, got the t-shirt, got the hat! If you're nodding along, you're in good company because, let's be real, we've all been on that roller coaster more times than we'd care to admit.

But guess what? I’ll let you in on a little secret: DIETS DON'T WORK!! Seriously! We've seen it all—fad diets, crash diets, you name it.  And let's face it, they leave us feeling frustrated, hungry, and ultimately right back where we started.

So, let’s not talk about diets, let's talk about what actually works. How about we shake things up and shift that mindset? It's time to stop the diet drama and start living—living as the vibrant, healthy, and fit women we were meant to be!

I hope you find this episode inspiring and encouraging.

Join me as we explore how what we consume, both digitally and socially, can shape our lives, and discover some tips and tricks to nourish our minds in healthier ways.

45 | Protein Powders - Do They Harm or Help Your Weight Loss Goals18 mars 202400:18:11

Hey Love!

You already know that protein has countless benefits, especially for us, women over 40 and 50.  

But it can be a challenge to get the amount of protein you need on a daily basis.  So many of us, self included, use some kind of protein supplement to help meet our protein goals.  

But how good are these protein supplements?  Particularly protein powders, are they really worth the investment?  Because let's be honest, food in general is expensive these days – not to mention adding the costs of supplements.  

So listen in as I share my two cents worth about the pros and cons of adding protein powder supplements to your daily lineup. 

I hope you find this episode informative and encouraging.

Tea Recipes:

Ginger, Cinnamon Clove Tea

Ingredients: 

  • ½ inch or thumb fresh ginger
  • 1 Cinnamon stick
  • ¼ teaspoon of cloves
  • Directions:

Trim off the tough knots and dry ends of the Ginger.  Peel and cut into thin, crosswise slices and add the Ginger slices, cinnamon stick and cloves into a mug.  Pour in boiling water and cover.

To get all the goodness of the ginger, cinnamon and cloves, let it steep for at least 10 minutes.

Turmeric Tea

Like ginger, turmeric root can be made into a nourishing and tasty tea. Here’s Brown’s method:

Ingredients: 

2 tablespoons turmeric root chopped or 2 teaspoons turmeric powder

Directions: 

Bring to a boil in 1–2 cups water

Lower to simmer for 5 minutes and then strain.

“You can drink turmeric tea warm or cold, and add lemon and/or honey to change the taste,” Brown advises.
