Ep. #50: 3 Tips to Lead Your Time

Dec 30, 2024

Here we are at 50 episodes of the podcast, and today, I’m talking about a little bonus topic that will help you on your weight loss journey. Ladies often ask me how I do it all. I’m a busy executive who runs her own company, supports my Transform ladies, has a family, and I still find the time to take care of myself, and I’m sharing my secrets with you here.

How many of you feel like you’re drowning in your to-dos? Planning was something I used to think was suffocating, and that by not planning, I would be free. But I found out very quickly that being disorganized left me feeling tired, overwhelmed, and definitely not free. What I’ve discovered over the years is that we all have time to plan, and learning to become the boss of your own time is going to transform your life.

Join me this week as I share three of my biggest tips on leading your time, instead of letting it take over and drown you. These tips have been absolute lifesavers for me, and they help me ensure that I’m not le...

Ep. #49: How to Get Started

Dec 30, 2024

The question I receive most frequently is around how to get started on this journey of weight loss. It can be so overwhelming when you’re inundated with tips and tricks, and even my new Transform bosses can feel a little daunted at first. So today, I’m sharing three simple tips for getting started.

Your brain is going to want to do all the things at once, but I’m urging you to start slow and steady this week. It can be so counter-intuitive when you’ve been dieting for so long to start making a food plan with things you actually like on it, and it takes time to settle into this new way of losing weight, so have grace and kindness for yourself.

Join me this week as I share my three tips for getting started on your weight loss journey. Applying these tips consistently will start shifting your mindset, and you’ll be able to learn new ways to keep commitments and let go of old diet beliefs.

Ep. #48: What is Weight Loss Coaching?

Dec 30, 2024

Coaching is something I’ve been doing for nearly three decades, and I know that some of you may not be familiar with what it is. I often get questions about what life coaching actually is and how it changes lives, so today, I’ll be addressing its power and how my own life has been transformed.

I’ve researched and studied life coaching for many years and still do to this day. I’m constantly coaching and getting coached myself in various ways, and so I know I speak for everyone who has had this experience that it is absolutely life-changing. Not only has my relationship with my family and friends improved, but the transformation of my relationship with myself and my body has been incredible.

My Transform bosses are constantly experiencing breakthroughs, and it’s a process of getting clarity in your long-held thoughts and beliefs. I believe coaching is the most powerful tool in changing anything ...

Ep. #47: The Downfall of Comparison

Dec 30, 2024

Comparison is something I think we, as women, can really relate to on a deep level. We’ve been doing it for a long time; comparing our bodies, our lives, our jobs, our partners… I mean, the list is endless. I’ve been doing some research on this topic and I was astounded to see the stats, so today, I want to help you figure this out.

Ultimately, comparing yourself to someone else makes you feel like you’re not good enough or that you’re not doing it right. Doubt and fear start to creep in, and loves, this needs to stop if you want to lose weight for good. I had to notice every time I was doing it on my own weight loss journey, and I’m inviting you to do the same today.

Listen in this week to discover how comparison is sabotaging your success. Every time it happens, your joy and happiness are being taken away by the thoughts that you should be farther along, but practicing the questions I’m laying out for you today will help you become a boss of your own weight loss journey.

Ep. #46: How We Make it Hard and How We Can Make it Simple

Dec 30, 2024

I remember starting a weight loss program and feeling super excited. I had all the materials, I had the exercise plan, I was all in. I lost weight sometimes, but I would gain it back again, and I did this over and over. This is what I did for decades. I started to slip, I had all the mind drama, and then the weight loss stalled and I quit.

I always thought weight loss was so complicated and hard. I’m sure you ladies can relate to this too. We have a million things on our list that we think we have to do to find success, when really, the key to lasting, sustainable weight loss is in simplifying it.

Join me this week as I show you how we make weight loss harder and more complicated than it needs to be. We have to make it easy and simple, and I’m sharing how you can start to do this for yourself today.

And here are this week’s transformational questions:

  1. How are you making weight loss complicated and hard?
  2. How can you make it simple today?

Ep. #45: Why Busy Keeps Us From Losing Weight

Dec 30, 2024

With the recent launch of The Transform Society and having a new group of ladies join us, I have been busy. You ladies know Lizzy – our primitive lizard brain – and she was ramping up, giving me all the excuses for why I shouldn’t go for my walk or eat on plan. She gave me all the reasons to overeat and not care for myself, and this “busy” is keeping us on the diet roller coaster.

This excuse of being too busy keeps so many of my ladies stuck. Stuck with bodies that carry extra weight, eating food that isn’t fueling us, and more importantly, putting ourselves off. We tell ourselves that we’ll put our needs first when we get less busy, but does that actually happen?

Join me today as I show you why using the excuse of being busy is keeping you on the diet roller coaster and what is really happening when you find yourself coming up with excuses not to eat on plan or move your body. Not prioritizing your well-being only leads to an endless list of negative consequences, and so I’m sho...

Ep. #44: Life-Changing Transformations with Dawn, Sharon, and Tammie

Dec 30, 2024

Ladies, I have a very special gift for you all today. For the first time ever on the podcast, I’ve got three beautiful guests on who are actually mentors for BFLY. I’m so excited to introduce you to Dawn, Sharon, and Tammie today, and they’re going to be giving us some insight into their weight loss journeys and tell you what has helped them the most.

These ladies have been exactly where you might be right now, and I know you’re going to find their stories completely relatable. They were on the diet roller coaster for decades, tried every fad diet out there, feeling completely low and hopeless. They joined The Transform Society and started using the tools I teach in there, and I’ve seen their transformation right before my eyes, not just in weight loss, but in the way they carry themselves too.

Join us today as I ask Dawn, Sharon, and Tammie about their weight loss transformation, their favorite tools that have provided them the biggest change, and what got them interested in join...

Ep. #43: Questions I Get from My Ladies

Dec 30, 2024

We have a first on the podcast today. I get so many questions from listeners and the ladies in my programs, so today we’re going to do a Q&A so you can get the answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about the work I share.

I’m so excited for today’s episode. Whether you’re struggling to stick with your realistic plan, finding the time to look after yourself with work and a busy family life, or even if you don’t even know where to start on your weight loss journey, this episode is for you, my love.

Tune in this week to discover the answers to some of the questions I receive on a regular basis. You’re not alone in this work, and if you are finding yourself stuck, eating off-plan, or lacking motivation, you’re not the only one, and I have the answers for you today.

And here are this week’s transformational questions:

  1. What can you do for yourself today? How can you put your oxygen mask on first?

Ep. #42: Old Diet Rules That Are Slowing Your Weight Loss

Dec 30, 2024

What if all of our diet beliefs and rules were wrong? And what if we could create our own rules based on testing our own bodies? These are the questions I teach my ladies to consider; to challenge every rule and belief that has been taught to us by the diet industry.

Whether it’s not eating at night or eliminating carbs, ladies, you may be surprised to hear that these are just myths when it comes to weight loss. We’ve created a belief that carbs are bad, or that we have to eat breakfast to curb hunger later in the day, and then create rules for ourselves around this that don’t serve us. I rarely eat breakfast and I eat carbs, and so do my ladies in The Transform Society, and we’ve all lost weight.

Join me today as I encourage you to become the scientist of your own body. I urge you to stop taking on rules that the diet industry or society at large has told you are crucial for weight loss, and start asking questions to dig into what you want to believe and implement in your own lif...

Ep. #41: What If You Were Curious?

Dec 30, 2024

Let me lay out a scenario I see so often with my ladies. You see a number on the scale and you didn’t lose any weight, or maybe you’ve even gained some weight. The beatdown starts, you’re telling yourself you’re a failure, that you’re always going to be overweight, and you stay on the path of overeating.

But what if you could change this cycle? Judgment is never helpful, and it often only makes you want to buffer with food to push down the uncomfortable feelings you’re adding on top of the frustration and disappointment of seeing the number on the scale. Ladies, there is a powerful tool that you can use here to replace judgment with, and it’s curiosity.

Join me today as I show you the power of intentionally getting curious and asking questions that will help you long-term, instead of the judgment and internal beatdowns you might be serving yourself right now. You’ll find that once you shift your mindset, you’ll be able to get creative and feel empowered enough to find the right so...
