• 201: The Winning Combo to Eliminate Sugar Cravings
    Jan 23 2026

    If you’ve tried to cut back on sugar, but those cravings came back 10-fold and you ended up eating more, it’s because you’re doing it backwards. In this video, you are going to get the winning combo to help you eliminate sugar cravings.

    Together, we will investigate:

    • If quitting sugar has never worked for you, it’s because you were taught a method that keeps you dependent on it.
    • The real reason sugar feels non-negotiable, and why diets make the attachment stronger, not weaker.
    • The reason “just eat less sugar” backfires, and why your brain rebels the moment you try.
    • The one sequence mistake that guarantees sugar will stay in control, no matter how motivated you are.
    • What’s actually happening in your brain before you reach for the cookies, long before willpower even has a chance.
    • The secret behind why some women can take one bite of chocolate and put it down, while others inhale the entire bar and are looking for more.
    • The psychology shift anyone can do that makes sugar feel irrelevant instead of irresistible.

  • 200: Weight Loss Coaches Hate Me. The Reason Will Surprise You.
    Jan 16 2026

    Weight loss coaches hate me, and the reason is probably the same reason you struggle with sugar cravings, binge eating, or are completely out of control with food.

    Because what I teach doesn’t fit the old school diet framework you’ve been told to trust. That so-called trusted system didn’t just fail you, it failed me, and it’s failed many other women. So I challenged it.

    In this episode, I’m going to show you why the system is actually working against you, and how a psychology-first approach changes everything. I’ll break down the exact pattern that I uncovered after years of analyzing emotional eating, and how you can get the food obsession to finally stop.

    Together, we will investigate:

    • Why weight loss coaches hate me, and why their reaction actually explains your sugar cravings.
    • The reason traditional nutrition advice works for some women, but doesn’t work for you.
    • How 4 health and nutrition certifications failed me… and why that failure changed everything.
    • The hidden emotional pattern that keeps you thinking about food all day, every day (even when you’re eating healthy).
    • What finally stops the sugar cravings.
    • The exact shift I see when women stop blaming themselves and start questioning the strategy instead.
    • How a psychology-first approach has helped hundreds of women break free from sugar, binge eating, and constant food noise.

  • 197: Your 2026 Weight Loss Blueprint
    Dec 26 2025

    Every diet fails because you’re starting at the wrong step. If you’re a woman who has tried at least 5 diets in the last 5 years, and has diligently followed advice from the professionals, but the scale is going up instead of down, pay attention. Because what no one tells you is that 4 specific steps have to happen first, before you even think about what to eat.

    In this episode, you’re going to get the exact blueprint so that weight loss can FINALLY become sustainable.

    Together, we will investigate:

    • The one question most women ask when they want to lose weight, and why it quietly sabotages everything.
    • Why you can eat “perfectly” all day, and still feel out of control at night.
    • The moment every diet breaks down, and why it has nothing to do with food.
    • The hidden factor that has to be addressed before weight loss can be sustainable.
    • How to calm the “on/off switch” that drives nighttime snacking and binge eating.
    • The 5-step weight loss blueprint that helps food stop feeling obsessive.

  • 196: Your New Year’s Weight Loss Goals Don’t Fail in January. They Fail in December.
    Dec 19 2025

    Your New Year’s weight loss resolutions don’t fail in January. They actually fail in December, before you’ve even made them. Your January goals collapse because of 3 specific things you’re doing right now, in December, without even realizing it.

    I’m breaking down the 3 December mistakes that quietly sabotage your weight loss goals, and how to fix each one so you don’t start January starting over. Again. If you want to finally hit your New Year’s goals without the New Year's resolution nonsense, this episode is for you.

    Together, we will investigate:

    • Why your New Year’s weight loss goals are set up for failure in December… and the surprising patterns that quietly sabotage your success.
    • The one Steven Covey habit high-achieving women use completely wrong… and the missing step that determines whether your goals collapse or finally stick.
    • How “unresolved endings” from the entire year hijack your brain chemistry which makes emotional eating worse.
    • Why December ends up being the emotional junk drawer of the year, and how that pushes you straight back into binge eating without realizing it.
    • Why all that ‘magical reflection’ advice from self-help gurus backfires, and what to do instead if you actually want results in January.

  • 195: The 4 “Expert” Holiday Tips That Make Overeating Worse
    Dec 12 2025

    You’ve been told to follow certain “expert-approved” holiday tips so that you don’t eat everything in sight… but here’s the truth: 4 of these popular rules actually make you overeat this time of year.

    After 40+ years of my own emotional eating, and after helping several hundred women conquer binge eating using strategies I learned while working as the Chief of Staff for FBI Counterintelligence — yes, really — I can tell you this: your holiday binges are triggered by advice that flat-out makes the overeating worse.

    So today, I’m going to break down the four holiday tips you should never follow, and more importantly, the five psychology-based strategies that actually keep you in control around food, even at parties or family gatherings.

    If you want a holiday season without feeling gross and spiraling into regret, this episode is for you.

    Together, we will investigate:

    • Why the most popular holiday eating tips backfire, and the 5 counterintuitive psychology-based plan you can implement that actually quiet the cravings and food noise.
    • The four expert-approved strategies that actually cause you to eat more at the holiday parties and gatherings.
    • The hidden danger on the crudite board.
    • The one macronutrient mistake almost every woman makes during holiday meals (fix this and cravings drop 30–50%).
    • The surprising dessert swap that satisfies your sweet tooth without triggering the binge brain (can you guess which dessert made the list?).
    • How to build a holiday eating game plan that lets you enjoy festive food without the regret, shame, or starting over in January.

  • 194: Overachievers Struggle Most With Holiday Food: Here's Why
    Dec 5 2025

    Your overachieving tendencies are the #1 reason your “I’ll start in January” plan turns into holiday overeating, and you don’t even realize it’s happening.

    There are 3 predictable personality traits that influence every food decision you make. They’re the same traits that have made you successful in your career, but are causing you to feel out of control around food, especially this time of year.

    After 40+ years of emotional eating myself, and after helping several hundred women conquer emotional eating with tactics I learned as the Chief of Staff for FBI Counterintelligence (yes, really), I can tell you this. Your holiday binges aren’t random.

    In this episode, we’re going to take these 3 personality traits, and instead of letting them sabotage you, I’m going to show you how to weaponize them to your advantage so you can stop binge eating, overeating, and stress eating when life feels chaotic… all without dieting, without starving yourself.

    Together, we will investigate:

    • The real reason smart, successful women lose control around holiday food, and the 3 hidden personality patterns driving it.
    • The silent perfectionism pattern that turns into binge eating behind closed doors.
    • How holiday chaos flips your brain into survival mode, and the tiny trigger you never noticed that makes you eat everything in sight.
    • Why your overachiever brain goes straight to “all or nothing”… and the microscopic shift that instantly breaks that spiral.
    • The sneaky relationship-driven habit (yes, you do this) that makes it almost impossible to say no to dessert at family gatherings.
