200: The Paradox of Choice

You can be smart, disciplined, and wildly capable… and still find yourself going off track the moment stress spikes or motivation dips. In this episode, I'm naming what's really happening: it's not a willpower problem—and it's definitely not a "you need more information" problem. We're talking about the Under Feeling Problem: the gap between having a solid plan and being able to follow through when your body is flooded with overwhelm, doubt, frustration, or that familiar "I'll deal with this later" energy. I'll walk you through the two most common patterns I see in high-achieving women, why "grit" isn't the missing ingredient, and the emotional skill that changes everything—at home, at work, and on the scale.

In this short, five-ish minute episode, I explore how the question so many of you have asked yourself: Should I do a GLP1? This episode walks through the 3 questions that might help you make the decision. I call these million dollar questions, because answering them helps you create million dollar results: weight loss results that actually last, because while a GLP1 might be a part of your toolbox, on it's own it isn't a magic bullet. Our intention on this corner of the internet is to destigmatize your approach and give you an arsenal of tools that helps you feel your best on the scale and off.   Doors for Burn Stress, Lose Weight are closing this week.

In this short, five-ish minute episode, I explore how the paradox of choice quietly derails weight loss and big goals. I share how avoiding clear nutrition decisions—out of fear of restriction—actually created more mental chatter and stalled my progress. This episode is an invitation to notice where indecision may be costing you time, and to remember that clarity, confidence, and results come after you make a decisive move, not before.   Enrollment for Burn Stress, Lose Weight is currently open.

I'm bringing yesterday's Instagram Live to the podcast today, answering a question I recently got: What exactly IS a weight loss system? If weight loss feels like a constant restart button, this episode is for you. In this Instagram Live turned podcast episode, we break down the real reason smart, high-achieving women keep getting stuck on the weight-loss struggle bus — and why willpower, calorie tracking, and "good food / bad food" lists aren't the solution. Instead, lets talk about a true weight loss system and why systems (not motivation) create consistent results. You'll hear a personal story of losing and regaining 60 pounds, the moment postpartum that changed everything, and why sustainable weight loss has to feel like a lifestyle upgrade, not another thing you white-knuckle through. In this episode, you'll learn: Why most weight loss plans only work on "unicorn days" — and what to do instead What a real weight loss system looks like (and why PDFs and habit trackers aren't enough) How Magic Action Decisions remove decision fatigue, deprivation, and guilt Why urges, stress, and off-plan moments are normal — and how to plan for them without spiraling How guilt-free rest is a non-negotiable part of fat loss, consistency, and mental bandwidth If consistency has been your biggest struggle, this episode will help you see exactly where the gap is — and why nothing is "wrong" with you.   Enrollment for the January cohort of Burn Stress, Lose Weight, Feel Unstoppable is now open, and we start next week. If you're ready to stop starting over and want a system that fits your real life, this is your moment. 👉 Book your consult now at www.burnstressloseweight.com/group 

In this short, five-ish minute episode, I'm sharing why habits only stick when they feel like a true lifestyle upgrade—not a punishing plan you have to endure. I break down the three missing pieces for overachievers: a nutrition strategy that supports your health and energy, accounting for the natural pull toward disorder (so it's not a discipline issue), and learning how to follow through even when motivation dips.  Enrollment for Burn Stress, Lose Weight is currently open.

What if the thing holding you back from your body goals isn't lack of effort—but fear of wasting it? In this episode, I'm recording on the move (literally outside, planes and all) after getting hit with a moment of clarity that stopped me in my tracks. I share two real-life stories—one from my own business and one from a close friend—that reveal a pattern I see constantly with high-achieving women: pulling back right when effort actually matters most. We're talking about why smart, capable women hesitate to go all-in, how that hesitation quietly guarantees stuck results, and what it really costs us over time—not just on the scale, but in energy, confidence, and bandwidth.   Resources:  Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/197 Learn more about The Unstoppable Group: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/group

This episode kicks off the year with a bold reframe for high-achieving women who are tired of starting strong in January… only to feel stuck by February. I'm breaking down why weight loss doesn't stall because you "lack discipline," but because of invisible decision fatigue that quietly drains your time, energy, and momentum. In this conversation, I share why overachievers are especially vulnerable to indecision, how unmade choices create unnecessary drag, and what it actually takes to turn January motivation into real, lasting momentum—on the scale and in your life.   Resources:  Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/196 Register for the Live Training: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/training  

What if the reason you keep repeating the same results isn't a lack of discipline—but the way you're interpreting your "fails"? In Part 2 of this New Year series, I'm inviting you to pause before you grab a fresh planner or declare a clean slate. Instead of starting over, we're looking back—with curiosity, self-trust, and 100% responsibility—to uncover the real gaps that quietly sabotaged your momentum last year. This episode is about treating yourself like a human (not a robot), learning from missteps without shame, and building systems that actually work in real life—especially if you're an overachiever who's tired of doing everything "right" and still feeling stuck.   Resources:  Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/195 Register for the Live Training: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/training

What if the reason last year didn't go the way you planned isn't lack of discipline… but lack of troubleshooting? In part one of this two-part New Year series, I'm walking you through how to look at the past year without shame, blame, or "fresh start" pressure—and instead use it as data. This episode is about learning how to identify what actually got in the way, so you don't repeat the same patterns when the calendar flips. This conversation is especially for overachieving professional women who hate feeling behind, avoid "failure," and secretly expect themselves to just figure it out next time.   Resources:  Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/194 Register for the Live Training: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/training

In today's episode, I'm having a conversation that's been on my heart for a long time: how to drop body shame from your weight loss journey without giving up on your goals. As we head into a new year, it's easy to approach health and body goals from a place of punishment—and I want to show you why that never leads to results that last. I'm sharing personal stories from my own journey and breaking down why hating your body (or the process) quietly keeps you stuck, and how it's possible to hold compassion for yourself and still want meaningful change.   Resources:  Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/193 Register for the Live Training: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/training
