Ever wondered what coaching truly means when it comes to weight loss? Most of us probably know what a football coach does but when we hear “weight loss coach”, things can get a little hazy. And as I sat pondering how to make more people get it, I had a mega lightbulb moment… Why don’t we invite two special guests to step up to the plate to get live weight loss coaching on the pod?! Because the power of coaching is not just limited to getting coached yourself–it’s just as powerful hearing someo...

Let’s face it: weight loss can be freaking confusing. There are a gazillion “experts” out there telling us what to do, how many steps to get in, how much protein to eat, how much sleep we need…the list goes on and on. And when you realize it’s too tricky to figure out, you just end up reaching for the damn cookie. Confusion always gets the cookie. But it really doesn’t have to be that complicated. In this “ask me anything” edition (with some juicy anonymous ones thrown in too!) I'm diving int...

Hey there, hunbuns! We're back with a little follow up from last week on what to do if you if the scale goes up after vacation (or in general). Post-vacay is when the scale scaries can hit hard but what we can’t let it do is insert sh*tty emotions into our body. Today I’m reminding you that weight loss is 2 steps forward, 1 step back. And when we get better at dealing with those backward steps, it actually moves us closer to our goals. So whether you had a vacay protocol, ended up eating your f...

One of the main reasons I struggled to lose weight for those 20 years before I applied the Yummy Mummy method was because I was doing 80/20 or even 70/30 when I was traveling a lot. With so much “on and off”, losing weight became an impossible battle that I just couldn't win. But when I did lose weight for the last time, I realized I had to honor my protocol 99/1, which meant sticking to it even on vacay. Yes, those “once-in-a-lifetime” vacations get their own little caveat…but if you want to l...

Does the Yummy Mummy Experience really work? Is it just another program that I’ll inevitably end up failing? Is it really possible to lose weight for the last time? I hear your doubts, boo babe, I hear them loud and clear! Everyone’s weight loss journey is different. But what all of my Yummy Mummies have in common is that they packed up their self doubt when they joined the program, trusted the process, and learnt how to believe along the way. Now they’re loving not only their bodies, but their...

Bae, I have something super special for you today. One of my beloved clients, Allie, is joining me for a solo episode to share her inspirational journey to food freedom. When Allie first joined the Yummy Mummy Experience, she was in a dark place. Not only did she feel stuck with her weight, she felt stuck in her career, her relationships, and her negative mindset. After overcoming a few barriers to joining the program (like having to say ‘Yummy Mummy’ out loud to her husband LOL), she trusted h...

Being “sober” hasn’t always been popular. In fact, our culture pretty much revolves around alcohol. From wild happy hours to weddings and birthday parties, we celebrate many of life’s greatest events with champagne, wine, beer, and cocktails (sometimes all in one night!). But do you ever wonder what life would be like without alcohol? Do you use alcohol to overcome social anxiety or to suppress emotions? Maybe you don’t have to drink, but you often do and wish you didn’t. Well boo, sober curios...

As human beings, we are designed to do life together. We are a tribal freaking species! And after spending months in isolation during the pandemic, we are craving community. It’s one of our basic human needs, and it’s what makes life so sweet and special. I had the joy of connecting with my three business besties recently in Montana, and it was nothing short of sensational! We brainstormed together, ran ideas past each other, and shared parts of ourselves on a truly deep level. Being in such...

So today we’re rewinding back to Day 15, when one challenger who was participating wrote in telling me she felt “defeated” and that her brain is talking her out of it. Well let ...

As mamas, we can have the most stressful days, filled from top to bottom with chaos. After a day of running around taking care of everyone else, it’s a relief when everyone’s finally in bed and we can reach for our kryptonite food… You know you love your kids, but when they seem out of control, it’s easy to lose it and yell at them. This is nearly always followed by a wave of shame and guilt, just like when you have emotionally eaten your way through a sleeve of Oreos. It doesn’t have to be thi...

Babe, it is scary how much of our eating just happens on autopilot. Have you ever found yourself halfway through a bag of popcorn or mindlessly finishing your kiddo’s dinner without even realizing?! But if you want to lose weight for the last time, you have to get super conscious. What I’ve noticed helping all of the Yum Mums in my 4 weeks to 40 challenge is writing that sh*t down!

Attention Yummy Mummies!! I just got back from the YMX IRL retreat, FULL of life and super ready to share some weight loss wisdom with y’all. My question for you is: Have you ever started a diet, only to find yourself obsessing over food, feeling guilty when you slip up, and ultimately feeling like a failure when the diet doesn't work out? If so, you may have fallen victim to diet mentality. Diet mentality goes hand in hand with fad diets, leading to negative self-talk, feelings of shame, and ...

Hey sexy mama! I have a real treat in store for you today because my very special guest, sex coach Danielle Savory, is here to talk to us about embracing our own sexual pleasure. Warning: this convo is VERY ‘ooh-la-la’! For so long we have put up with a cultural narrative which prioritizes male sexual pleasure, and told us that our own desires and needs are secondary. Well guess what?! They are just as important! And if we put those needs first, we can start filling our cup with delicious dopam...
