Micromanaging food doesn’t make you a healthy eater. Because true healthy eaters don’t put in effort to eat healthy. They just do. For them, food isn’t micromanaged. Plans, protocols, and regimens aren’t necessary. Eating decisions are simple and accessible. It’s just who they are. If you believe micromanaging food is necessary, you’re not being a healthy eater. You’re behaving as someone who doesn’t eat healthy with ease. In this episode, I’m sharing why food was never the problem for you. It’s that you identify as someone who struggles with food in the first place. To make permanent changes ..read more

Healthy eating and weight loss isn’t hard. You’re just addicted to feeling accomplished in the process. As a high-achieving woman, you will be accustomed to hard work. It’s a strength you have. You know how to show up and get it done. You love the feeling of accomplishment when you check something off your list. The problem? This isn’t sustainable for long-term healthy eating and weight loss. Because there is no finish line with food or body. You can’t indefinitely “check off” either of those things. Which means, it can’t feel like hard work to be sustainable. It can’t feel like you’re accompl ..read more

Don't trust yourself to eat healthy and lose weight? It's not personal. Your brain determines what it believes based on past evidence. If you've struggled to eat healthy in the past, your brain will often come to one conclusion:That you are the problem. That you can't trust yourself to eat healthy. That you are to blame for your lack of progress. You will feel compelled to single yourself out and make yourself the problem. When, the truth is, the problem cannot possibly be you. Your past struggles with food are legitimate and make sense. You are capable now of creating the results you want wit ..read more

Are you struggling to eat healthy in way that lasts? The problem is that you are dieting. But, not necessarily in the way that you think. Most people aren’t dieting based on what they’re eating.  They’re dieting based on how they’re thinking. Consider: What are your current reasons for making healthy food decisions? If you’re struggling to eat healthy long-term, your reasons are likely based on “shoulds”.  This mindset is what makes healthy eating unsustainable for you. It’s what turns any version of healthy eating into a diet. Which means, to eat healthy sustainably you need to chan ..read more

Are you frustrated because you're not making the changes with food and body that you want? When changing your eating habits, you will have moments where you believe: "I'm not making any changes. It's not working." This frustration is natural. You have a brain that is wired to seek out problems and solve them. What you need to know: It's not that nothing is working. It's that you have a low tolerance for failure, shame, and messy progress. In this episode, I'm sharing what to do when you're feeling like you're not making the changes with food that you want. I'm also discussing how you can becom ..read more

If you’re a high-achieving woman, you most likely learned to achieve goals by shaming yourself when you did things wrong. It may have worked in the past, but it’s stopped being effective with food and body. You feel tired, burnt out, and totally spent. Which causes you to shame yourself even more. It may not be obvious that shaming yourself is the cause of your lack of progress. It will present as if you’re the problem, you don’t know the right things to eat, you don’t have enough time, etc. But what shaming yourself ultimately creates? A total lack of tolerance for your humanness. You will no ..read more

Many of my clients come to me burnt out. They feel like they have a total lack of energy when it comes to eating healthy. Which worries them, because they think: “If I don’t have energy left to give, how will I possibly create the results I want?”. This is the kicker. Because diet culture taught you that to change the way you eat, you have to put in more effort. That you have to restrict, willpower, and suffer to the results you want. So, you did. You spent more time, effort, and energy attempting to stick to methods of eating that required more from you. Which has left you feeling totally bur ..read more
