I’m back from my summer break, and today we’re talking about what it really means to come out of survival mode and step into a new season of life. When you’re just trying to make it through, the world feels blurry. You don’t even notice the little things piling up around you. But once you start to shift, it’s like everything comes back into focus: the appointments you’ve been putting off, the house that suddenly needs cleaning, and most importantly, you.

In this episode, I’m sharing a summer recap (including an upcoming Disney trip I didn’t think would happen), how back-to-school season has me reflecting on my own routines, and why fall is the perfect reminder that change can be beautiful. 🍂

If you’ve been stuck in survival mode, this is your invitation to let joy back in, to see life clearly again, and to give yourself permission to thrive and stop waiting for the weight....not “someday,” but right now.

Why does joy feel so scary? Why do we hold back when life is good, waiting for something bad to happen? In this episode, I’m sharing why joy is the most vulnerable emotion we can feel and how that fear keeps us from fully living. We’ll talk about why our brains default to “what if it all goes wrong,” how this ties into body image and weight loss, and why you don’t need a smaller body to feel joy right now.

I’m also giving you a personal update from my birthday and what’s making me grateful (and a little nervous!) in this season of life. If you’ve ever struggled to let yourself be happy without guilt or fear, this one’s for you.

What you’ll learn in this episode:
✔ Why joy is the most vulnerable emotion
✔ How fear of losing happiness sabotages your peace
✔ The connection between body image, weight loss, and joy
✔ Practical tips to embrace joy without waiting for the “perfect” moment

If I wanted to gain back 70 pounds, I know exactly what I’d do because I’ve lived it. In this episode, I’m sharing the habits, behaviors, and sneaky thought patterns that kept me stuck for years…and would absolutely pack the weight back on if I let them. From zombie eating and isolating myself to living in stretchy pants and giving in to my inner fat bitch voice, we’re calling it ALL out.

If you’ve been slipping back into these patterns or feel disconnected from yourself, this episode is your wake-up call.

🎧 Listen now and let’s make sure you never fall back into these traps again!

In this episode of the Irresistible You podcast, we’re diving into what it means to embrace your cozy or “soft life” era, without the guilt. I used to think that doing cozy things like diamond painting or relaxing at home was lazy… or worse, that stillness would lead to weight gain. I thought if it didn’t make money or burn calories, it was a waste of time. But now I know better.

I’m sharing how I’ve started doing things that pull me rather than constantly pushing myself and how that shift has helped me stop emotional eating, feel more grounded, and finally listen to my body. Cozy isn’t laziness, it’s restoration.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between hustle culture and burnout, this episode is for you.

🎧 Tune in and learn how to create your cozy moments in a world that won’t slow down.

In this special episode, I’m stepping outside our usual conversation about confidence and body image to share something deeply personal: my daughter just published her first children’s book!

And while this episode is about my daughter’s story, it’s also about us.
If you grew up in a bigger body, if you never saw yourself in media, if you spent years believing you had to shrink to be worthy, you’re going to feel this. Because the need to be seen and accepted doesn’t go away when we grow up.

Rosie Sparkle Fin: The Mermaid Who Found Her Sparkle With Type 1 Diabetes was born out of her real-life T1D diagnosis and her brave journey navigating a whole new world. This book isn’t just a story about a magical mermaid. It’s about what happens when a child finally sees themselves represented in the pages of a book, and how healing that can be.

You’re doing the work. You’re being consistent. You know things are changing…
But then you take a photo and think, ‘I still look fat.’

Welcome to the messy middle. The part no one talks about. It’s not exciting. It’s not dramatic. It’s just hard. And boring. And where you're most likely to quit on yourself.

In this episode, we’re getting real about:

• Why this part of the journey feels so uncomfortable
• The emotional rollercoaster of “I’ve changed!” vs “I still look fat”
• What to do when your body is changing but your mind hasn’t caught up
• How to keep going when it feels like nothing is working

🎧 Press play and let’s talk about how to swim through the middle.

If you’re only focused on shrinking your body, you’re missing the real transformation.

This episode goes beyond the scale to talk about what holds you back, and it’s not just the number.

In this episode, I’m getting into the real weight that’s keeping you stuck:

• The toxic self-talk running on autopilot
• The emotional eating you use to numb out
• The dead relationships and friendships dragging you down
• The pressure to be perfect before you can feel good in your skin
• The “inner fat b*tch” voice that shames you into silence
• The belief that life will finally begin once you hit your goal weight

Weight loss might be the goal, but healing the emotional weight is what sets you free.

If you're tired of losing the same pounds over and over while your confidence stays buried underneath guilt, shame, and fear… this one’s for you.
