Ep #205: How Denying Yourself Has Kept You Overweight

Sometimes life feels slow, like you’re stuck or falling behind. But this episode is a reminder: good things take time. The growth you can’t see—the deep, unseen work—is often the most important part. You’re not behind; you’re growing roots. And roots matter. Flowers don’t last without them. It’s easy to get caught up waiting for the visible bloom, but real strength and lasting change are built underground, in the quiet seasons. Trust that what’s coming is worth the wait.

Ever wake up one day and wonder, “Where did I go?” You’re checking boxes, showing up for everyone, juggling roles like mom, wife, boss, caregiver, friend… and somewhere in the shuffle, you got lost. This episode is a heart-to-heart for every woman who's ever felt like she disappeared behind the roles she plays. In this episode of "Creating Her Best Life Now," Coach Jenn and I dive deep into the powerful truth that losing yourself in roles doesn't define your true identity. We're unpacking the truth: what you do is not who you are. Those titles you carry? They’re part of your story, but they’re not your identity. Join us as we navigate through the maze of roles and rediscover the essence of being YOU. It's time to shine a light on your true identity beyond the labels and roles you've taken on. So if you're feeling burned out, unseen, or like you've forgotten what it feels like to dream for yourself—this one's for you. Make 2025 your year with the Year of You program!

Ever feel like you’re living on autopilot, checking all the right boxes, keeping everyone else happy—but somehow, you’re the one running on empty? You’re not alone. So many of us get stuck in the cycle of people-pleasing, saying yes when we mean no, and shaping our lives around what others expect instead of what actually makes us happy. But here’s the truth: you can’t pour from an empty cup. In this episode, part of my special series with the Coaches of BFLYCoaching, Coach Sharon Spohn joins us for an honest conversation about breaking the pattern, tuning into what you really want, and finally giving yourself permission to take up space in your own life—without guilt, without shame, and without apology.

Ever feel like you're just going through the motions—wake up, get things done, repeat—without really feeling present in your own life? That’s what I call Robot Mode, and trust me, you’re not alone.

We’ll break down the fight, flight, or freeze response and explore simple, doable ways to regulate your nervous system so you can feel more in control and alive in your daily life.

Emotions aren’t just random waves of chaos trying to ruin your day—they’re messengers, trying to tell you something important. But are you actually listening? In this episode, we’re diving into the truth about emotions, why we feel them so intensely, and how to stop drowning in what I call "puddle emotions." These are the feelings that keep us stuck, spiraling, or overwhelmed—like guilt, fear, or self-doubt—when we don’t know how to process them. I’ll walk you through how to recognize these emotional messengers, decode what they’re trying to tell you, and most importantly, take your power back. Because you are not your emotions—you are the one experiencing them. And when you learn how to work with them instead of against them, that’s where true emotional freedom begins. Tune in for a real, relatable conversation on how to stop letting emotions control you and start using them as the powerful guides they’re meant to be.
