We all have that one holiday food that feels impossible to resist — the special treat that triggers old patterns and leaves us feeling powerless. In this episode, I share a breakthrough coaching moment that turned one client’s holiday tradition from anxiety into joy. You’ll hear how shifting the thought “I can’t say no” to “I don’t want to say no” opened the door to empowerment and freedom. I’ll also guide you through a simple exercise to explore your own holiday food kryptonite and discover what’s possible when you reframe your story. If you're curious how coaching can work for you, I invite you to book a connection call with me at amyenglishcc.com.

This episode is my honest account of navigating post‑menopause, insulin resistance, and the decision to try Wegovy. I share the fear, the frustration, and the relief of finally saying yes to support while battling the maze of insurance. Three weeks in, I’ve lost nine pounds—but more importantly, I’ve realized medication is only a temporary tool. The lasting freedom—the peace with food, the trust in my hunger cues, the release of shame—comes from the inner work I’ve already done. Food freedom is possible, and building that foundation is yours to keep.

Twelve years ago, I received the phone call that changed everything: breast cancer. Since then, December 2nd has become my cancerversary, a day of reflection, gratitude, and honoring the journey.

In this episode, I share 12 lessons from 12 years, wisdom shaped not only by cancer but by the healing, cycle-breaking, and living that followed. Whether it’s trusting intuition, reframing stress eating, or redefining success, these lessons encourage anyone navigating food, body, or life struggles.

Join me as I reflect on what this cancerversary has taught me about resilience, self-trust, and the power of listening to the whispers that can change and even save our lives.
