💡 FREE COURSE: Solve Your Food Struggles In 5 Days Take the next step and start making healthy eating easier today. Access my free video series now: https://katrentas.com/course  — 🎙️IN THIS EPISODE:  When you’re sick, on your period, hungover, or just flat-out exhausted…eating healthy feels impossible. Your brain says: “I’ll just wait until I feel better. I don’t have it in me today.” But here’s the truth: the problem isn’t that you feel like trash. The problem is believing that discomfort means you can’t show up at all. In this episode, you’ll learn: → The deeper reason why “I’ll start again tomorrow” keeps you stuck in all-or-nothing habits → The difference between reacting from your child brain vs. responding as the parent you need → A simple process to stay in the driver’s seat (even on low-energy days) → How to protect your future self’s goals without pushing, forcing, or abandoning yourself Confidence with health eating and weight loss isn’t built on the easy days. It’s built when you still know how to care for yourself in the messy ones. Because staying in charge when you feel off? That’s what makes eating healthy truly stable in your life, not conditional on how you feel in a given moment.  Learn more at: https://katrentas.com/when-youre-sick-podcast — ❤️ THANK YOU FOR LISTENING I really appreciate you choosing to listen and supporting the podcast.

Join the membership here: https://katrentas.com/membership — 🎙️IN THIS PEP TALK: It’s too much all the time.   And it’s moments like this when you reflect and think, How am I ever supposed to get healthier when I don’t have a moment to myself?   So you move throughout your day busy. You never take a moment to breathe. It’s one thing after another without skipping a beat.   Until you have a moment, maybe an hour, to yourself. Maybe the kids have gone to bed, you’re just coming home from work, or it’s the weekend and you can finally just exist without doing.   In that moment, the overwhelm floods in. You think, I could really just use a break right now. I’ve been going non-stop and I just need to rest.   Nothing feels more comforting in that moment than cuddling up, eating your favorite foods, and escaping the overflow of daily life. When will things finally feel more balanced? When will you finally be able to be that healthy version of yourself? When will it be your turn? — ❤️ THANK YOU FOR LISTENING I really appreciate you choosing to listen and supporting the podcast.

If you’re convinced otherwise, you’re indulging excuses that will keep you from ever doing it.   Yes, there will always be an ideal to aspire to. We can enjoy the weeks where meals are prepped, everything’s homemade, and we can post about our lifestyle on social media because it looks like something we're proud of. Stop believing that you can only lose weight when you eat perfectly clean or have orderly meals. That’s a lie.   The only thing keeping you from your weight loss goal is your lack of resourcefulness. — ❤️ THANK YOU FOR LISTENING I really appreciate you choosing to listen and supporting the podcast.

Access my free video series now: https://katrentas.com/course  — 🎙️IN THIS EPISODE: You have a “good day” with food. You eat when you’re hungry, stop when you’re full, and don’t raid the fridge before bed. For a moment, you feel proud. But soon after? The unsettling hope sneaks in. You think: "I hope I can keep this up. I hope I don’t mess it up tomorrow. I hope I can stick to this long-term." That little voice might feel motivating at first, but it’s really doubt in disguise. And when the scale eventually stalls or you slip up, that turns into feelings of total failure. The problem isn’t your food choices. It’s the way you’re tying your confidence to perfection with healthy eating. In this episode, you’ll learn: → Why “hoping you can keep it up” keeps you stuck in self-doubt with healthy eating → The difference between fake confidence (perfect days) and real confidence (self-trust) → How to parent yourself through food mistakes without spiraling → A mindset shift that will make consistency simple instead of something you have to hustle Confidence to eat healthy isn’t about never falling off track. It’s about knowing you can keep making progress and moving forward — no matter what setbacks occur.

🌟 COACHING MEMBERSHIP: Own Your Eating Habits Eat healthy naturally and lose weight for the last time. Join the membership here: https://katrentas.com/membership — 🎙️IN THIS PEP TALK: This might sting — but you’ve been warned. Your current weight is a mirror. It reflects exactly how much you’re prioritizing your health — and where your body deserves to be right now. After 7+ years coaching ambitious women, the emotion I see most isn’t doubt or overwhelm. It’s entitlement. Thoughts like: “I should’ve lost more by now.” “It’s not working.” “I’ve done everything.” “I can’t because of my symptoms.” Those thoughts keep you stuck in victim mode — where you never have to own your results. If you’re my person, you want to hold yourself to a higher standard. Start dismantling entitlement so you can take responsibility.  — ❤️ THANK YOU FOR LISTENING I really appreciate you choosing to listen and supporting the podcast.

Join the membership here: https://katrentas.com/membership — 🎙️IN THIS PEP TALK: I’m going to be real with you. No one’s coming to hand you your weight loss because you’ve had it hard. You’re the one who has to get in the muck and create it. Right now — and I’ve been there, so no shame — you’re probably scrolling, waiting for something to click, for that missing puzzle piece to finally make it easy. But here’s the truth: the puzzle piece isn’t coming. You are the puzzle piece. It’s always been you. No one’s going to justify your struggle and say, “You’re right, here’s your transformation.” You’ll have to build it yourself. Now, this doesn’t mean hustle or shame your way through it — those approaches burn out fast. It means owning the simple truth: “I am responsible for making this happen.” Say it out loud. Feel it. Not “I should” or “I need to,” but “I will figure this out.” When you stop waiting for motivation or a magic fix, and fully own that it’s on you — that’s when everything starts to change. — ❤️ THANK YOU FOR LISTENING I really appreciate you choosing to listen and supporting the podcast.

Access my free video series now: https://katrentas.com/course — 🎙️IN THIS EPISODE: You’ve had a long day. You’re drained, your brain is foggy, and the last thing you want is to “coach yourself” through food choices. In that moment, eating feels like the easiest fix, not because you’re hungry, but because you’re tired. And when exhaustion hits, food has always been the fastest way to take the edge off. The problem isn’t that you’re tired. The problem is that your brain only trusts food to solve for it. In this episode, you’ll learn: → Why exhaustion makes cravings feel so urgent → How to separate physical hunger from emotional fatigue → A framework for caring for yourself without defaulting to food → Practical ways to create safety and relief when your energy is gone Being exhausted doesn’t mean you lose control with food. It just means your child brain is online and your job is to step in as the parent. You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to stay present enough to lead yourself through it with care.

You think, “It’s working!” But a week later, the number stalls…or you overeat…and suddenly the perspective totally shifts. You think, “I’ve ruined it. I’m back at square one.” The truth is, this isn’t about the results you want. It’s about how you relate to your progress and whether you’re parenting yourself or letting your emotions call the shots. In this episode, you’ll learn: → The difference between Child Mindset (emotional highs and lows) and Parent Mindset (steady self-leadership) → Why excitement and panic aren’t reliable fuel for long-term change → A simple framework for staying grounded when results aren’t immediate → How to hold space for your emotions without letting them drive the process Being in charge of your eating doesn’t mean being perfect or emotionless. It means knowing how to parent yourself through your weight loss journey — even when the child part of you wants to spiral.

Access my free video series now: https://katrentas.com/course  — 🎙️IN THIS EPISODE: You tell yourself you just need to be more consistent with healthy eating. But usually, what that really means is: "I need proof I’m doing it right." You’re chasing the feeling of being “on track,” of feeling accomplished, of not falling behind. And when life gets messy, that focus only piles on more pressure. The problem isn’t that you can’t be consistent. It’s that your brain is solving for your self-worth instead of solving for your actual result. In this episode, you’ll learn: → The difference between a self-worth focus and a results focus with weight loss → Why “I just need to be consistent” keeps you stuck → How the most successful clients move forward even when they fail → A simple shift to help you stay in motion instead of in a spiral Because weight loss doesn’t happen from being perfect — it happens from learning, adjusting, and taking the next step forward again and again.  Learn more at: https://katrentas.com/weight-loss-focus-podcast  — ❤️ THANK YOU FOR LISTENING I really appreciate you choosing to listen and supporting the podcast.
