Ep. #54: I’m So Scared I Won’t Follow Through

Dec 30, 2024

I recently received an email from a beautiful lady that just touched my heart. She shared with me that she wanted to join Transform and start losing weight, but she was scared she wouldn’t show up for herself. If you’ve ever been on the diet roller coaster, you can most likely relate to this fear, and if so, this episode is for you.

Over the decades that I was trying to lose weight, I had been sold all the things, tried all the methods, and failed so many times that I just didn’t trust myself anymore. I’d broken my commitments to myself over and over, even while I was implementing the work that I’m now teaching you ladies. But I’ve learned a few things that I know will help you.

Join me this week as I share 3 things that I’ve learned since getting off the diet roller coaster and began maintaining my weight loss. It’s so normal to lose all trust in yourself and struggle to keep commitments, but love, you do this for everyone else in...

Ep. #53: What You Feel Right Before You Give Up

Dec 30, 2024

What’s one emotion that has come up for you on your weight loss journey this week? I bet overwhelm is up there, and you might even be feeling it right now. It’s an emotion that can really derail us if we don’t know how to work with it, so today, I’m showing you how we react to it and what you can do instead.

There are so many resources available to us when we start losing weight that it can be overwhelming. But overwhelm leads you down a path of staying stuck, and you end up quitting on yourself yet again. I’m showing you a different path today because overwhelm doesn’t ever have to stunt your success.

Listen in today as I show you why overwhelm so often derails us on our weight loss journey, and how it’s a prelude to quitting. I’m sharing three things you can do when you feel yourself getting overwhelmed, so you can keep going without quitting or starting over.

Ep. #48: What is Weight Loss Coaching?

Coaching is something I’ve been doing for nearly three decades, and I know that some of you may not be familiar with what it is. I often get questions about what life coaching actually is and how it changes lives, so today, I’ll be addressing its power and how my own life has been transformed.

Ep. #47: The Downfall of Comparison

Dec 30, 2024

Comparison is something I think we, as women, can really relate to on a deep level. We’ve been doing it for a long time; comparing our bodies, our lives, our jobs, our partners… I mean, the list is endless. I’ve been doing some research on this topic and I was astounded to see the stats, so today, I want to help you figure this out.

Ultimately, comparing yourself to someone else makes you feel like you’re not good enough or that you’re not doing it right. Doubt and fear start to creep in, and loves, this needs to stop if you want to lose weight for good. I had to notice every time I was doing it on my own weight loss journey, and I’m inviting you to do the same today.

Listen in this week to discover how comparison is sabotaging your success. Every time it happens, your joy and happiness are being taken away by the thoughts that you should be farther along, but practicing the questions I’m laying out for you today will help you become a...

Ep. #46: How We Make it Hard and How We Can Make it Simple

Dec 30, 2024

I remember starting a weight loss program and feeling super excited. I had all the materials, I had the exercise plan, I was all in. I lost weight sometimes, but I would gain it back again, and I did this over and over. This is what I did for decades. I started to slip, I had all the mind drama, and then the weight loss stalled and I quit.

I always thought weight loss was so complicated and hard. I’m sure you ladies can relate to this too. We have a million things on our list that we think we have to do to find success, when really, the key to lasting, sustainable weight loss is in simplifying it.

Join me this week as I show you how we make weight loss harder and more complicated than it needs to be. We have to make it easy and simple, and I’m sharing how you can start to do this for yourself today.

And here are this week’s transformational questions:

  1. How are you making weight loss complicated and hard?

Ep. #45: Why Busy Keeps Us From Losing Weight

Dec 30, 2024

With the recent launch of The Transform Society and having a new group of ladies join us, I have been busy. You ladies know Lizzy – our primitive lizard brain – and she was ramping up, giving me all the excuses for why I shouldn’t go for my walk or eat on plan. She gave me all the reasons to overeat and not care for myself, and this “busy” is keeping us on the diet roller coaster.

This excuse of being too busy keeps so many of my ladies stuck. Stuck with bodies that carry extra weight, eating food that isn’t fueling us, and more importantly, putting ourselves off. We tell ourselves that we’ll put our needs first when we get less busy, but does that actually happen?

Join me today as I show you why using the excuse of being busy is keeping you on the diet roller coaster and what is really happening when you find yourself coming up with excuses not to eat on plan or move your body. Not prioritizing your well-being only leads to an...
