For this very special birthday episode, I’m doing something totally different. Instead of me asking the questions, I handed the mic to my amazing clients and let them interview me. What started as a fun idea turned into one of my favorite episodes ever. You’ll hear stories I’ve never shared before, what inspired me to become a coach, and what I’ve learned through every messy, glorious, imperfect step along the way. I also answer a question I was asked one year ago: Did I actually hit the goal I set for myself? Let’s find out together. 🎉 And don’t forget—we’re celebrating the 3-year anniversary of the podcast!

In this final installment of our 3-part series on the 10 Normal Phases of Weight Loss, I’m walking and talking—literally—while bringing you the most transformational part of the journey. These last three phases are where real change sticks, not just on the scale, but deep in your identity, how you handle success, and how you love the process itself. If you’ve ever wondered what it actually feels like to maintain results with ease without obsessing over the number, this episode is for you. We’re going far beyond food and scale wins. These phases are about healing your relationship with yourself, allowing identity growth, and making maintenance not only doable but desirable. 🎉 And don’t forget—we’re celebrating the 3-year anniversary of the podcast!

We’re diving deep into the messy middle—the part of your weight loss journey that no one talks about enough but everyone experiences. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right but still aren't seeing results, this episode is for you. It's not about discipline. It's not about willpower. It's about identifying the strategic gaps that have quietly been stalling your progress and learning how to finally fill them. In this second part of the 10 Phases series, I walk you through phases 4 to 7: the turning point where things can either fall apart or finally come together. You’ll learn how to handle discomfort, what to do when your plan goes off the rails, and how to keep going even when things get messy.  🎉 And don’t forget—we’re celebrating the 3-year anniversary of the podcast!

In this week’s episode, I’m doing something I’ve never done before: bringing on a brand-new client who hasn’t even started live coaching yet inside The Unstoppable Group. Camille, a full-time OB/GYN and mom, shares her early wins and the subtle but powerful mindset shifts that started happening the moment she said yes to herself. From reducing cravings to feeling better in her scrubs, Camille talks candidly about what changed for her before anything official even began and why investing in her goals (even with unpredictable hours and a toddler at home) was the best decision she’s made this year. Dr. Camille Roque is a generalist OB/GYN in Northern California. She is happily married and has a two-year-old who keeps her busy after work. When she’s not chasing after her toddler, she enjoys traveling and crafting. She is excited to join the next cohort and hopes to embrace her perfectionist tendencies—openly admitting them and using them as a strength within the group. Additionally, she is eager to explore new and sustainable ways to enjoy food and lifestyle changes. Most of all, she is thrilled to join a group of like-minded, strong women who inspire and support one another.   Resources:  Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/156 Learn more about the group: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/group  Get the Hormones Training: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/hormones  

Most programs don't talk enough about the messy, sticky middle-- and this leads to a serious strategic gap to hit and maintain your goal.   Yesterday I hosted a live "Is [Unstoppable] For Me" call where I walked through strategic gaps you might have experienced in the past...and how we specifically fill these inside The Unstoppable Group Coaching program.   Join me on the podcast today where I share exactly what you need to fill those gaps so hitting your goals feels solid for you this year.

Ever wonder why you reach for a snack or scroll through your phone when you’re not actually hungry? It’s not because you’re weak or lazy—it’s brain science. Your brilliant brain has learned that these rituals provide a quick hit of dopamine, making them hard to resist. But the problem is, those habits also keep you stuck, sabotaging your weight loss goals and leaving you feeling frustrated. In this episode, I’m sharing an excerpt from a recent coaching call where I taught my clients how to rewire their brains using the power of dopamine. You’ll learn how to create new rituals that actually serve you without relying on willpower alone.   Resources:  Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/155 Learn more about the group: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/group  Get the Hormones Training: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/hormones
