Main Character Energy: The Identity Shift That Makes Weight Loss Effortless

Welcome back to Boss Bitch Radio 💋 This episode is Part 2 of the Main Character Energy series, and honestly… it gets juicier! If you've ever caught yourself saying "I can't stay consistent," "I do great until I get stressed," or "every new year I fall back into the same patterns," this episode is absolutely for you. In this conversation, I'm breaking down what really happens when you abandon yourself and why piling on new habits, new plans, and new goals never works if your identity hasn't shifted first. We're talking about main character energy as a mindset, not an aesthetic, why doing less is often the real key to lasting change, and how a lack of boundaries keeps you stuck in the same cycles year after year. I also unpack the real reason New Year's resolutions fail and what it actually takes to become the woman who shows up for herself! You don't need another plan. You need to become the woman who executes. Let's get into it. 🔥 Sign up for the Main Character Energy Activation Masterclass on January 13, 2026 - this is where the real shift begins → https://www.bossbitchradio.com/masterclass Join the newsletter for more behind-the-scenes tips, cheat sheets, and practical tools → https://www.bossbitchradio.com/newsletter #MainCharacterEnergy #ConsistencyMindset #SelfAbandonment   Key Takeaways: 00:18 Stepping Into Main Character Energy 00:52 Why Identity Is Everything (And How It Shapes Your Life) 03:55 My Bodybuilding Era + What It Taught Me 04:59 Life After Bodybuilding (And Feeling Lost AF) 13:54 The Mr. Miyagi Method (Wax On, Wax Off) 18:18 How to Create Real Change by Shifting Your Identity 22:41 Becoming the Woman You're Meant to Be   Links Mentioned:  Be sure to listen to Part 1 of this series before or after this episode: https://youtu.be/7LBeYZXrh5A Join me for the Main Character Energy Activation Masterclass on January 13, 2026 - this is where the real shift begins → https://www.bossbitchradio.com/masterclass Join the Iconic Coaching Academy!

What if weight loss was never the real goal? In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I'm breaking down the real reason so many women struggle to stay consistent and it has nothing to do with willpower, motivation, or the "perfect plan." Today, we're diving deep into what it actually means to become the main character of your life - the woman who no longer chases weight loss, but naturally makes decisions from her highest good. If you're trying to live a Level 10 life but feel like you're operating from a Level 2 identity… this episode is your wake-up call. This is your software upgrade for 2026.

If your January plan sounds like punishment, restriction, or "I just need to get back on track," this episode is for you. In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, we're talking about an identity hangover - the space where your old diet culture identity doesn't fit anymore, but your brain keeps trying to live there anyway! This conversation is for the woman who misses feeling confident in her body but refuses to go back to obsession to get it. We're unpacking why living like your life is one long diet cut stops working, why rest can feel like failure, and why chasing another plan, program, or motivation spike isn't the glow-up you think it is. If you're heading into 2026 ready to stop shrinking, stop white-knuckling results, and start feeling powerful again, press play.

Just real talk about boundaries, protecting your energy, and reminding you that you do not have to earn rest or shrink yourself to keep other people comfortable!

This episode is permission to rest, speak up, leave early, eat the cookie, take the walk, and choose yourself without guilt.

If you're listening to this during the Christmas holiday week and feeling a little on edge, this episode is for you! In today's episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I'm sharing a real coaching call conversation about control - the sneaky kind that looks like being responsible on the outside but feels like anxiety on the inside. Yep, that kind. We talk about why so many women struggle to let go, how trying to control people and situations steals our peace, damages relationships, and keeps us from being present in our own lives. I share personal stories (including my days as a reformed control freak), signs you might be holding onto control without realizing it, and simple mindset shifts to help you release what's not yours to carry! This is a gentle reminder that you don't have to manage everything, fix everyone, or hold it all together to be worthy or safe.

If you've ever felt like you "fall off" your health, fitness, or self-care goals… this episode is for you. Today's conversation is pulled straight from a Healthy & Hot membership call, where we go way deeper than workouts or meal plans. We're talking about the real reason consistency feels so hard and why it's not because you're lazy, broken, or lacking discipline. This episode is all about main character energy, identity shifts, and what actually needs to happen before you set goals for 2026. Because if you don't change the woman making the decisions, you'll just repeat the same cycle with a shiny new plan. If you're tired of collecting programs that never stick and you're ready to stop sleepwalking into another year, this is your wake-up call!

Unpopular truth: the reason most women struggle with health, fitness, confidence, and follow-through isn't because they don't know what to eat or how to work out - it's because they're still making decisions from an old identity. In the first episode of my Main Character Energy series, I'm breaking down why identity shifting is the real missing piece behind lasting change (and why motivation alone never works). I'm sharing my personal evolution, why autopilot habits keep you stuck, and yes… why we're starting this series with makeup (stick with me). We'll talk surprising facts about appearance, how small rituals change how you show up, my own main character makeup routine (even if you're not a makeup girly), and how this deeper identity work actually makes results stick -  not just in January, but for good. If you're done with your old bullshit and ready to step into your main character era, you're in the right place!

If you've ever been curious about period underwear but also kinda scared to try it… this is your episode. Today I'm chatting with Arielle Loupos, founder of FlowerGirl, and her story, her mission, and her product completely blew me away. Arielle creates non-toxic, beautifully designed period underwear  including the viral period thong and let me tell you… I was skeptical. Then I tried it, fell in love, messaged her immediately, and said: "You need to come on the podcast."  In this episode, we get super real. We talk about why traditional period care (tampons, pads, cups, discs) can cause problems, why so many women deal with cramps and PMS that aren't actually "normal," and how materials, toxins, and synthetic fibers impact our hormones more than we think. Arielle shares her journey from e-commerce to product creation, what it really takes to make functional, sexy, non-toxic underwear, and how she's disrupting a category that desperately needs it. We also dig into the misconceptions around period underwear - the "diaper feeling" myth, the fear of leaks, the cleaning process, and why so many women are shocked once they finally try a pair. And of course, I share my own story of trying the FlowerGirl thong on my heaviest day… and becoming immediately obsessed!  You've been running on empty long enough.

If you've ever wondered whether your pelvic floor issues are "normal"… this episode is for you. Today I'm sitting down with pelvic health expert Dr. Sarah Tally to talk about the things women whisper about, ignore, or think they just have to "deal with" as they get older - leaking, urgency, pain with sex, constipation, postpartum changes, perimenopause shifts, AND the stuff nobody warned us about. Sarah shares how she found her way into pelvic floor physical therapy, why women over 40 dismiss symptoms that actually aren't normal, and the surprising signs your pelvic floor needs support (even if you've never had kids). We dig into bladder habits, urgency triggers, constipation, painful intercourse, vaginal dryness, hormone changes, and why so many women are stuck thinking a "tiny bladder" is just their personality trait. You'll also learn simple strategies to calm urgency, retrain your bladder, and understand what's really going on with your pelvic floor - all in a down-to-earth, totally shame-free way! If you've ever peed a little when you laugh, felt like you need the bathroom every 10 minutes, or wondered whether dryness or pain is just part of getting older… this is your episode. Pull up a seat, get comfy, and let's talk about the stuff women deserve to understand. You've been running on empty long enough.

In today's episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I'm sharing seven exercises that have absolutely nothing to do with the gym, your macros, or the perfect meal plan but have everything to do with why you aren't losing weight. After almost twenty years coaching women, I've seen over and over that the real struggle isn't usually about calories or workouts. It's the emotional load, the stress, the old stories we're still believing, and the way we keep putting everyone else first. This episode kicks off a deeper four-phase process I'm calling an iconic reclamation: regulate, reconnect, redefine, and reclaim.  I'm getting honest about the unconventional work that actually moves the needle, why therapy can be the most powerful weight-loss tool you're not using, and why doing less might be the thing that finally gets your body and mind back on track. If you're a high-performing woman who keeps starting and stopping programs and wondering why nothing sticks, this conversation is the missing piece! You've been running on empty long enough.
