Access my free video series now: https://katrentas.com/course  — 🎙️IN THIS EPISODE: Most women think they need to either toughen up or be gentler with themselves to change their eating habits. The truth? You need both and you need to know when to use each. In this episode, we're talking about the real skill that creates long-term change: discernment. The ability to read the moment you're in and decide whether your growth needs firmness…or softness. You'll learn: → Why living in "all grit" leads to burnout, and living in "all self-compassion" keeps you stuck → What firmness actually sounds like when it's healthy and grounded — not self-punishing → How kindness becomes power, not avoidance, when used intentionally → The mindset shift that helps you stop going back and forth between perfection and checking out Transformation doesn't come from pushing yourself endlessly or coddling yourself forever. It comes from becoming the woman who knows exactly which strength is required right now.

💡 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: A lot of women come into weight loss already convinced it's going to be harder for them — because of hormones, age, metabolism, history, symptoms…all of it. And while those things are valid, the belief that it will be harder for you before you even start ends up creating half the struggle. In this episode, we're breaking down the quiet ways this mindset will sabotage your progress and how to reclaim the power you've handed to your body circumstances. You'll learn: → Why the "this probably won't work for me" story feels factual but quietly pulls you out of ownership → How pity disguises itself as honesty and keeps you from learning what your body actually needs → Why using logic to justify discouragement blocks progress and keeps you dabbling → How to shift into a mindset that makes your health journey accessible — even if your body requires something different You don't have to pretend everything is easy. You just need to stop using your circumstances as evidence that you can't reach your weight loss goal. If you're ready to drop the resignation, get back in the driver's seat, and move toward your goals with steadiness instead of self-pity…this episode will give you that perspective you need.

Access my free video series now: https://katrentas.com/course  — 🎙️IN THIS EPISODE: If you've ever said "I am doing all the right things…so why am I not losing weight? "This episode is the perspective shift you've been missing. Because when the scale doesn't move, most of us won't get curious. We'll get defensive. And, this is normal. Your brain goes straight to:"I knew this wouldn't work." "My body must be different." "Something is wrong with me." But what's actually happening isn't mystery or malfunction — it's a missing skill: a lack of humility when losing weight. In this episode, you'll learn: → How entitlement sneaks in as "I should have results by now" → Why craving certainty keeps you from hearing what your body is actually saying → What humility looks like in practice when you're learning to listen to your body → How to troubleshoot without spiraling into "I'm broken" thinking Your body isn't unpredictable. It's consistently communicating with you all the time. This work is about becoming a woman who doesn't demand quick answers from her body — but one who's willing to learn what those answers are each day.

Access my free video series now: https://katrentas.com/course  — 🎙️IN THIS EPISODE: Ever find yourself finishing food you don't want because you "don't want to waste it"? Let's be honest. Most of the time, this isn't about waste. It's about justifying overeating in a way that feels noble. In this episode, we're breaking down the real reason you keep eating past fullness and why using your body as a waste basket isn't solving food waste…it's just costing you your health. You'll learn: → How to tell the difference between real food-scarcity wiring and emotional justification → Why guilt around "wasting food" often masks stress, overwhelm, or the urge to comfort eat → The mindset shift that stops you from using moral language to excuse overeating → How to become the woman who doesn't negotiate with justifications anymore This is a tough love chat, but it's a truth that will set you free with food. If you're done feeling weighed down by reasons for overeating that sound responsible, but keep you stuck, this episode is going to hit in the best way.

Access my free video series now: https://katrentas.com/course  — 🎙️IN THIS EPISODE: If you've ever thought, "I just can't go through another failed weight loss attempt," this one's for you. Because trying to avoid failure is exactly what's keeping you from success. In this episode, we're unpacking the mindset that keeps so many women stuck in the same loop with weight loss — knowing what to do, but never doing it, because they're terrified of failing again. You'll learn: → Why seeing yourself as a "sad story" about past failures lowers your own standard → How quiet victimhood and entitlement sneak into your weight loss mindset → The real difference between failing and believing you failed → How to rebuild confidence by taking imperfect action, not waiting for certainty You don't need to protect yourself from failure with weight loss — you need to start using it effectively. Every time you show up, even when it's messy, you're proving to yourself that you're capable. That's how you create changes that last.
