Have you ever wondered why that number feels like it has the power to decide if you are winning or failing your whole week?

BOOK: You Are A Miracle

How many times have you told yourself, "I will get back on track after the holidays, because right now is just impossible?”

We're often convinced that we need the calendar to calm down—no more travel, no more parties, no more treats—before we can finally make progress toward our goals. But what if the "right time" to lose weight isn't a date on the calendar, but a decision you make today?

In this episode, we tackle the myth that the holidays are the "worst time" to be a normal eater. We’ll show you how to swap rigid food rules for real choices, so you can enjoy the season's joy, leave every event feeling light and proud, and step into the new year with trust, not regret.

The goal isn't perfection; it's practice. Learn how to be a woman who trusts herself around food, no matter how chaotic the season gets.

• The Myth of the Right Time: Why your brain loves to delay starting, and why waiting for "perfect conditions" is the biggest block to progress.
• Rules vs. Choices: How rigid dieting leads to secret overeating, and how flexible, normal eating patterns build long-term trust and health.
• The Plate Plan for Buffets: A simple strategy for navigating parties and buffets by treating the spread like a museum, not a target.
• Handling Family Food Pressure: How to set kind boundaries and honor the cook and your body, even when love shows up as an extra serving.
• Baking & Tasting Sanely: Simple plans for enjoying holiday treats and tasting your creations without accidentally eating a whole serving before dinner.
• Chaos Control: Strategies for travel days and schedule interruptions to keep you feeling steady with simple protein and produce anchors.
• The Day-After Reset: What to do when you overeat (you're human!): how to skip the shame spiral and get back to normal in one simple meal.
• Your Holiday Toolkit: Three powerful tools—Choices, Scientist Brain, and Good/Better/Best—to help you run your own game all season long.

• Learning to Swim: Progress comes from practicing in the shallow end with sparkly lights (the holidays!), not waiting for a quiet lab.
• The Museum Analogy: You don't carry the whole museum home. Visit a few favorite dishes with full attention, then leave with energy.
• Love as Sunshine: You can receive love (and thank the cook) without needing two extra scoops of food.

Before your next holiday event, ask yourself these three questions: What do I want to enjoy? What is worth it? How do I want to feel later? Let your answers guide your choices.

Remember, you don't need perfect days. You need a few steady choices, repeated.

BOOK: You Are A Miracle

Do you ever feel like you need to fix your body before you can finally step into the bigger life you want?

If the voice in your head tells you that you’re not ‘ready’ to be seen, speak up, or go for your biggest goals until you lose weight, this episode is for you.

Today, we are joined by special guest, brand strategist, and author Sara Chambers. Sara is the president of Elly & Nora Creative, helping female entrepreneurs step into visibility and claim authority. She joins us to discuss the core message of her new book, Do It Fat: An unapologetic guide for women who are done waiting for a smaller body before they let themselves be seen, heard, and fully alive.

In this honest, heartfelt, and fire-filled conversation, we pull back the curtain on how body hatred steals our visibility, dampens our voice, and limits our impact. Sara offers powerful insight into why we hold ourselves back and how we can choose a different story today.

You do not have to wait for a smaller body to live a bigger life.

• The Sneaky Link: Why body shame often shows up right when you try to be more visible in your life and business.
• The Intellectual Cost: How believing you take up "too much physical space" leads you to take up less intellectual space—hiding your ideas and keeping your brilliance quiet.
• Visibility is Non-Negotiable: Why your decision, actions, and ambition must be separated from how your body looks right now, or how it might look in the future.
• The Brand That Never Lives: How an unwillingness to be seen in the body you have prevents your brand from truly living and helping your ideal people.
• Choosing Your Story: Why beauty and body standards are just trends tied to market culture, giving you the power to choose a different, more liberating narrative.
• The Media Audit: Sara's practical advice for filling your feed with diverse, powerful women doing big things to support your own confidence and ambition.
• One Small Step Today: Practical ways to feel more powerful in the body you have right now.

"The only true loss is when you hide and no one gets to see what you offer."

"You are allowed to decide you disagree. You are allowed to choose a different story about your body, your time, and how you show up."

"When you believe you take up too much physical space, you start taking up less intellectual space."

Imagine this…the weather is starting to get cooler, and it’s time to get out the winter clothes. You’ve been doing great, working hard with managing your portions, making some solid choices and feeling truly proud of yourself. But that box of winter clothes looms and you can hear the ominous eerie music in your head. Will the jeans fit?

You put on those jeans for the first time this season - and of course they’re freshly washed and not stretched out at all, so they’re kinda tight. A little snug.

And all that great work you’ve been doing, all those positive thoughts you’ve been cultivating, go out the window. Your brain goes straight to its old favorite soundtrack, “This will never work.”

You start thinking, What’s the point? And then… you hide. You stop planning your food. You stop reaching out to your AG. and You eat because it feels like there’s no point in trying anyway.

Why does your brain do that? Why does it shut down motivation the second there’s a bump in the road?

In today’s episode, we’ll cover:

• Why overwhelm makes your brain time-travel into hopelessness
• The sneaky science of why motivation disappears at the first sign of “failure”
• How to stop performing and start learning — so your brain stays on your side

As well as how to trade “ugh” for “hmmm” and find your way back to confidence.

Are you ready to wrangle overwhelm and win back your motivation? Aw yeah.

Let’s go!

BOOK: You Are A Miracle

Have you ever had a day when your brain just takes off without you? One minute you’re feeling pretty good about your food choices, and the next you’re spiraling because the scale didn’t move, or you ate a handful of chips? Maybe you’ve actually been doing fine and even had some good wins, but your brain finds the one thing that wasn’t perfect and decides that this’ll never work.

And you catch yourself thinking, “What is wrong with me? Why can’t I just stay consistent?”

Your brain isn’t broken—it’s just doing its job. That it’s actually trying to protect you, even when it drives you off course?

Today we’re diving into what it means to be at the wheel of your brain.

• why your brain automatically looks for problems,
• how to handle those “old stories” that pop up again and again,
• and how to steer your thoughts on purpose so you can keep moving forward with confidence.

You’ll learn how to spot those old mental habits before they steer you off course, how to use them as signals instead of setbacks, and how to choose thoughts that move you forward instead of spinning your wheels in frustration.

So buckle up, because today we’re not letting your brain ride shotgun. You’re in the driver’s seat.

Let’s go!

BOOK: You Are A Miracle

Have you ever thought, “ok I get the whole normal eater thing and I want to be a normal eater... but I still want to lose weight”?

Like, you’re totally on board with the idea of dropping diet rules, but you also don’t want to drop your goals? You want to trust yourself and see the scale move, but part of you still wonders, “Can I really have both?”

Because it feels like the moment you start caring about the number on the scale again, you’ve somehow betrayed your new, chill, “normal eater” self. Or on the flip side, if you don’t think about weight loss, you worry you’re giving up on your goals. And that can feel confusing. It’s like your brain doesn’t know how to want progress without turning it into another diet. So how do you find that middle ground — where you’re not obsessing, but you’re also not pretending the scale doesn’t exist?

If that’s where you are right now, this episode is for you.

This episode is the sister episode to our last one, “How to Go from a Dieter to a Normal Eater.” In that episode, we talked about the shift from following rules to making choices — how the big difference isn’t about food, it’s about how you think about food. You learned that dieters follow rules, while normal eaters make choices.

how normal eaters think about food, how they handle overeats, and how they make maintenance feel livable.

Today, we’re building on that. Because once you’ve learned to eat like a normal eater, the next question becomes, “How do I keep that mindset while still wanting results?”

In this episode, we’ll cover:

• how to stop thinking in diet rules and start thinking in results,
• how to treat your eating habits like an experiment instead of an exam,
• and how to lose weight in a calm, confident way that doesn’t undo all the progress you’ve made in trusting yourself.

As well as how to finally stop asking, “Am I doing this right?” and start asking, “What’s working for me?”

So if you’re ready to build on what we started last week and learn how to be a normal eater who still sees results,you’re in the right place. We’re bringing science, sanity, and a sprinkle of sass to the scale today.

Let’s go!
