| Ep 248: 3 Decisions Thanksgiving Meditation (Thanks TR!) | 25 Nov 2025 | 00:43:47 | |
Happy Thanksgiving! Let's be honest for a moment… So I thought: What better time to share something powerful I brought home from Tony Robbins' Unleash the Power Within last month? If Tony can get people walking on fire (yes, including me!), then surely we can get through Thanksgiving without diving headfirst into the stuffing bowl. In this week's podcast episode, I'm breaking down one of the simplest yet most transformative reminders Tony shared during UPW. It's something you're already doing moment by moment, whether you realize it or not: **You are always making three decisions that shape everything—your day, your mood, your body, your choices… and ultimately, how you feel inside your own skin.** These three decisions influence whether you end the day feeling aligned and powerful—or frazzled and frustrated. In the episode, I walk you through Tony's "Three Decisions," and then, because I love you and I want you to have the calmest, most grounded, gratitude-filled holiday possible… Think of it as emotional Spanx— This is your chance to shift your focus, choose better meaning, and take actions that support you feeling like the healthiest, happiest version of yourself… even in the middle of holiday chaos. So take a deep breath. And come on in.

So many people in our Thin Thinking community aren't just navigating weight, food, and mindset… they're also carrying quiet anxiety under the surface. And as the holidays approach—with the social events, family expectations, food everywhere, and the pressure to be "on"—that anxiety can really kick into high gear. That's why I am so excited about this week's Thin Thinking Podcast episode with Brad Robinson, creator of the Anxiety Project Podcast. Brad and I dive into the kind of practical, grounded tools you can start using immediately—perfect for this season when your nervous system may feel a little extra tender. It's an empowering, compassionate conversation that I know will support you—especially as we head into a season that can feel overwhelming for even the calmest among us. I hope you'll tune in, take what resonates, and feel a little more grounded, confident, and supported as you move through the holidays. Come on in!

Emotional eating is one of the leading causes of inconsistent weight release. Last week we began to look at some key tools to prevent emotional eating. This week I want to dive deeper into this important topic giving you even more tools and insights so that you can begin to have some leverage over this challenging cycle. For a long time, I found myself turning to food as a source of comfort during stressful moments, using it as a way to numb my emotions and avoid dealing with them. However, through my own journey, I learned how to manage my thoughts, nurture my mind, and ultimately take control of my feelings--this began to give me more power and prevent emotional eating from happening in the first place. In today's episode, part two of preventing emotional eating, we will explore a number of effective tools to help you steer away from emotional eating. Together, we will delve into downshifting expectations and discover the power of self-comforting phrases and practices.These tools will empower you to build resilience and strength in the face of emotional triggers. As you begin to manage your emotions more effectively, you'll notice that the emotional eating muscle weakens while the emotional mastery muscle becomes stronger. The best part is, you are not alone in this journey. We are in this together, and I am committed to providing you with the guidance and support you need to succeed.

| Ep 124: Essential Self-Care with Dr. Z | 18 Jul 2023 | 00:52:23 | |
Do you find yourself constantly taking care of others but rarely finding time for your own self-care? It's a common challenge for many of us. We dedicate ourselves to our roles as parents, employees, caregivers, and volunteers, often leaving no room for personal rejuvenation. And even when we do consider taking that much-needed time for ourselves, we often feel guilty or ashamed. The result? We become depleted and may turn to food for comfort, using overindulgence as our only treat. So for this week's episode of the Thin Thinking Podcast, we are joined by our special guest, Dr. Zerri Gross, an international bestselling author, licensed marriage and family therapist, trauma-informed yoga instructor, and mindfulness facilitator, who will guide us through the essential topic of self-care. Dr. Z will help us understand the importance of prioritizing self-care and more importantly, how to overcome the guilt and shame associated with it. She'll show us how to carve out time for rest, rejuvenation, and what she calls "reclamation of ourselves." She also shares valuable insights on reclaiming self-care time and connecting with your inner goddess, regardless of gender. (Yes, gentlemen, you have an inner goddess too—who knew?) If you are ready for an inspiring and empowering conversation, and if you are ready to take that transformative step forward and make time for YOU, then come on in!

Through her own experience, she now guides others towards discovering healthier coping mechanisms and learning to face their emotions head-on instead of seeking refuge in alcohol.

In this eye-opening episode of Thin Thinking Podcast, we delve into the subject of envy and resentment towards skinny people, exploring the impact it has on our own weight struggles. We challenge the notion that envy and resentment are beneficial for our well-being, and instead, we open ourselves up to a different perspective.

| Ep 111: From Late Bloomer to Weight Loss Success: Overcoming "It's Too Late" | 18 Apr 2023 | 00:53:17 | |
I am too old to be successful with weight loss. Weight loss is impossible after menopause. I have failed too many times to lose weight--it just doesn't work for me. Many older people who have been dieting a good part of their lives develop deep doubts about their ability to be successful with weight management. And it creates a subconscious limiting belief for many that may actually be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Well, here is a little ray of sun fact to shine through those dark clouds; the National Weight Registry's study of people who have taken weight off and kept it off shows that older adults are just as capable of releasing weight and keeping it off as younger adults. The Late Bloomers Success Syndrome is very real! Today's Thin Thinking podcast episode, we dispel myths that limit your beliefs in your weight loss success journey, and will inspire those of you who have given up to start showing up for yourself instead. I will also share some Weight Loss Success Stories that will prove that when it comes to releasing weight and wanting to be healthy, age is just a number.

| Ep 108: Unlocking the Mystery: Understanding Why You're Still Struggling to Lose Weight Despite Knowing How | 28 Mar 2023 | 01:16:47 | |
In 2021, the Center for Disease Control reported that over 49% of adults in the US reported trying to lose weight in that year. Here is the thing, ONLY 5% of them were able to release the weight and keep it off. Now, was there something wrong with the other 95%? Were they incompetent? Were they social rejects? Did they have a lower IQ or just weren't as savvy at dieting as those shiny, radiant and slim people? No. In my 20 plus years of working with people in the area of weight management, I have found that most people who struggle know more about weight loss than their doctors and even many nutritionists or trainers. So why do very well informed and well intentioned people still struggle to lose weight despite knowing how? For our second anniversary Thin Thinking Podcast episode, we are going to explore subconscious reasons why you may be still struggling despite your years of weight loss experience. And I will also give you some doable ways that you can begin to turn this around on the subconscious level. So come on in to the Thin Thinking Podcast to celebrate 2 years AND to uncover the mystery!

| Ep 107: Inner Beauty Dress Code with Ginger Burr | 21 Mar 2023 | 00:58:47 | |
How many days of the week do you dread going to the closet to pick out clothes to wear? Or maybe you --- like so many other people around the world during pandemic -- have given up on getting dressed at all. Often--when we are weight challenged-- we have many sizes of clothes in our closet. The smaller sizes taunting us, making us feel bad for not being disciplined enough to wear them. The larger ones mock us even more because they often seem uninspired, drab and frumpy– not who we really want to be or look like. So how can we shift into a new way of Thin Thinking about how we dress ourselves and give ourselves the permission to look good no matter what size we are wearing? Today on the Thin Thinking podcast, we are going to explore with my guest expert fashion consultant Ginger Burr on how to get excited about dressing ourselves and expressing who we are with self respect, style, and lots of love, no matter what size we are. What are you waiting for? Grab your empty hangers and come on in.
