How to Show Up For Yourself Through Discomfort

Most people think they have a willpower problem… but really, they're just underfed, overwhelmed, and over-accommodating. Today we dive into the #1 issue we see in food logs (hi, low protein + barely eating until 4 PM 👋🏼), how your beliefs are quietly controlling your habits, and why changing your lifestyle feels "weird" to the people around you who aren't changing with you. We also talk about the illusion of balance - and how a lot of people use it to justify doing the bare minimum while expecting insane results.  If you're trying to grow, fuel better, and hold your own boundaries without feeling like the bad guy… listen in.   Marci's IG: https://www.instagram.com/marcinevin/   FREEBIES & COACHING 1:1 Coaching Application: https://www.ahubnutrition.com/coachingapplication Fat Loss Starter Kit: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlossstarterkit No Brainer Fat Loss Checklist: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlosschecklist Join the email list: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/x8208kqszl FIND ME ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/ashleighmariehubbard/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/ahubnutrition/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessdiariespodcast/

Today I'm sitting down with one of my clients to talk about the part of a health journey no one warns you about: the cycle of losing the weight… only to gain it right back. She came to me stuck in the "all-or-nothing" loop — strict during the week, off the rails on the weekend, and constantly starting over. Extremes were easy. Maintenance wasn't. And if she wasn't being perfect, she didn't think she was doing it "right." In this episode, she shares: what finally pushed her to get help why her old approach kept failing her the breakthroughs she had around food and self-trust the moment she realized one bite tastes as good as the whole thing how she learned to stop trying to earn her progress with extremes and what it actually took to build consistency that lasts If you've ever wondered, "Why do I keep gaining the weight back?" or "Why can't I stay consistent?", her story is going to hit home. This episode shows you what real change looks like when you shift out of perfectionism, rebuild your relationship with food, and learn how to maintain your progress without swinging to extremes. And if you're listening and thinking, "This sounds like me,"—you'll hear exactly what's possible when you finally choose a different approach.   FREEBIES & COACHING 1:1 Coaching Application: https://www.ahubnutrition.com/coachingapplication Fat Loss Starter Kit: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlossstarterkit No Brainer Fat Loss Checklist: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlosschecklist Join the email list: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/x8208kqszl FIND ME ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/ashleighmariehubbard/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/ahubnutrition/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessdiariespodcast/

In this episode, I sit down with my friend (and fellow coach) Marci for a real conversation about what it actually looks like to show up for yourself... especially when it's uncomfortable. We dig into the identity shifts that come with choosing a healthier lifestyle, the messy middle that nobody talks about, and how to stay grounded through the chaos of the holidays. If you've ever felt like you "should be further along" or you're struggling to stay consistent when life gets busy, this one's going to hit home.

We dig into: The toughest lessons Hunter learned while building his businesses The resilience it takes to keep showing up when life throws curveballs Mindset shifts that help you stay consistent through chaos Daily habits and non-negotiables that keep him grounded Whether you're chasing health goals, building a business, or simply trying to find steadiness in a busy season of life, this conversation will leave you with takeaways you can actually use.   HUNTER IG: https://www.instagram.com/_hunter_nelson__/   FREEBIES & COACHING 1:1 Coaching Application: https://www.ahubnutrition.com/coachingapplication Fat Loss Starter Kit: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlossstarterkit No Brainer Fat Loss Checklist: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlosschecklist Join the email list: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/x8208kqszl FIND ME ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/ashleighmariehubbard/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/ahubnutrition/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessdiariespodcast/

Have you ever hit the milestone you were chasing — the weight loss, the career win, the personal record — and still felt empty? In this episode, I reflect on Tim Keller's teaching from Ecclesiastes and share how it mirrors my own journey with purpose and identity. We'll talk about the burden of achievement, the trap of comparison, and why success without deeper grounding always feels like "chasing the wind." Most importantly, I'll share how I've learned to shift from proving myself through outcomes to living with purpose and striving for the right things.   Tim Keller's sermon: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/timothy-keller-sermons-podcast-by-gospel-in-life/id352660924?i=1000728203332     FREEBIES & COACHING Fat Loss Starter Kit: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlossstarterkit No Brainer Fat Loss Checklist: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlosschecklist 1:1 Coaching Application: https://www.ahubnutrition.com/coachingapplication Join the email list: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/x8208kqszl FIND ME ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/ashleighmariehubbard/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/ahubnutrition/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessdiariespodcast/

You don't need another macro calculator. You need to get honest about why you keep hitting the gas and the brakes at the same time.

Welcome to Fat Loss University — a 5-part podcast series where I break down what it actually  takes to lose fat in a way that's sustainable, realistic, and built for your real life… not just your highlight reel weeks. You've made it through the series. You've got the habits, the mindset, the tools. But now you're at the crossroads — do you keep trying to figure this out alone, or is it time to get support? In this final episode, I help you assess whether you need a coach (and what coaching actually is), or if you're ready to run with this on your own. You'll walk away with clarity on what's keeping you stuck, what support could unlock for you, and what your next move should be based on your goals — not your pride. ;)   FREEBIES & COACHING 5 Habits to Make Fat Loss Easy AF: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlosseasyaf?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAac88iLbmj4-2FVlGWziCDZYJQM2FLA9nduEq1jDytkOqJRGKCeiZtuYs5AMNw_aem_O0JQqD5dq5fkJdOiIfUlBA No Brainer Fat Loss Checklist: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlosschecklist 1:1 Coaching Application: https://www.ahubnutrition.com/coachingapplication Join the email list: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/x8208kqszl FIND ME ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/ashleighmariehubbard/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/ahubnutrition/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessdiariespodcast/
