Irresistible You: Lose the Emotional Weight | Body Image | Confidence | Weight Loss

In this episode of the Irresistible You podcast, we're talking about the importance of finding your soul snack—something that feeds your soul so you're not constantly turning to food for comfort. Since Chuy passed away, my nights have felt painfully quiet. He was my constant companion during the late-night hours when the house finally settled. That kind of loss leaves a void, but here's the thing… I didn't slip back into emotional eating, and that's because I already had the Irresistible You framework to guide me.One of the most powerful tools in that framework? Feed Your Soul.Lately, diamond painting has been helping me fill that space with peace instead of food. Let's talk about why you need a soul snack and how to find one that works for you.If you've ever reached for food when what you really needed was something deeper, this episode is for you.

It's time to stop waiting for the weight. Stop letting the emotional weight hold you down from who you're meant to be. This is your sign to take action.There are TWO juicy offers happening right now, and I don't want you to miss either one:

Ever find yourself brushing off compliments about your weight loss with a “Thanks, but…” followed by a list of why you're not good enough yet? This episode dives into the self-sabotage behind downplaying your wins. I'm calling out the perfectionist, all-or-nothing thinking that keeps you stuck in the "never enough" cycle. Let's unpack why it's so hard to own your success—and how to start seeing yourself the way others already do.

Downhill doesn't have to be a bad thing. What if life were as easy as coasting downhill? I don't see a problem with that! This is a chit-chatty type of episode as I catch you up and get back in the swing of podcasting after a rough month after losing my sweet Chuy dog. 

I recently said goodbye to my FURST baby, Chuy. I miss him so much, but his spirit will forever live on because he's the reason I started this podcast! He taught me so much about life. He was the greatest chapter of my life and the best adventure. This is a deeply personal episode as I share the story of how Chuy inspired Irresistible You, how we had to say goodbye after almost 16 years, and how we ALL need to start living life just like a dog. 

This episode is full of tough love. The reality of your weight loss journey is that nobody is coming to save you. NOBODY! The eff bombs are flying. You've been warned!Irresistible Links

Today was a totally random episode. Just an off the cuff ranting and raving by me, as I navigate the fuckery of life. The takeaway from this episode is that no matter what you have going on, you will be OK and two things can be true at once. Life can be hard and beautiful at the same time! Irresistible Links

I was at Medieval Times and walked past the mirror and didn't recognize myself for a minute. Even though I haven't had a huge weight loss recently, I'm down over 70 lbs and my body is constantly shifting and adjusting. It's hard to recognize this new version of you especially when you're stuck somewhere between being "fat" and not quite at your goal weight yet.  When your body goes through changes from weight loss but your brain hasn't caught up we call that "ghost fat." Ever lost weight and still felt...the same? Or caught a glimpse of yourself and wondered who's staring back? Join me as I unpack the reality of not recognizing your ownbody after weight loss. This is the juicy stuff that diet culture or the "before and after" infomercials don't teach you. Irresistible Links

Do you suffer from seasonal amnesia? Do you find yourself not understanding how you got here again? Do you have a sense of dread each time the season changes because it's a stark reminder that you aren't where you want to be? Are you sick and tired of waking up to a new season and not having any clothes that fit you? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this episode may be right for you. Irresistible Links

Worried that they're judging you for your weight? Let them! In this episode, we're unpacking the "Let Them" theory. More importantly, we're flipping the script with our "Let You" method, which focuses on silencing the 'inner fat bitch.'Irresistible Links

Exciting News, Queens!

What is Your Almost Weight? It's that exact number on the scale where you've historically thrown in the towel. You know the drill: every time you start making progress, something pulls you back, and before you know it, you're telling yourself, 'I'll start over Monday.'  Here's a news flash! You are self-sabotaging your weight loss. But, why? That's what we're digging into on this episode. Support the show

Self love isn't a reward for losing weight. It's a necessity for losing weight and keeping it off! Let's dive into what real self-love means and why it's not always rainbows and butterflies. Irresistible Links

Let's take a time machine back to what it was like to diet in the 90's. We were really out here desperate dieting with paper tracking journals and books to look up the points while we sat in the drive-thru. Fast forward to now, and it's a whole new world – YouTube workouts, TikTok recipes, and digital tools are at our fingertips, making weight loss more accessible than ever. But here's the kicker: why, with all these amazing tools, do we still find ourselves on the yo-yo diet roller coaster?

GLP-1 injections like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide are a game-changer for weight loss...but they aren't magical solutions that will keep the weight off long-term. You have to have a plan in place to work on your emotional weight and change how you think and feel about yourself.  Yes, you want the physical weight loss but what you're actually chasing is a feeling of what you think will automatically happen just because you're at your goal weight.  That feeling won't arrive because you're wearing a size 8. It will happen when you also learn how to think and feel differently about yourself. You need the right tools in your toolkit! Irresistible Links

Imagine being able to stop attaching your self-worth to the number on the scale. This isn't just a dream; it's entirely possible with the right system. Introducing Irresistible You—now as a self-study program designed for personal transformation at your pace, without the pressure of group coaching. This program equips you with practical, actionable strategies to shatter the body hate-shame cycle. Whether you've struggled with self-esteem, felt trapped by the scale, or are simply ready to step into a life of empowerment, this course is your gateway to becoming the best version of yourself. In this episode, I share where the course came from, what's included, how to enroll, a special promo code, and more! Irresistible Links

Happy New Year, queens!

Your current situation is not your final destination. That's right. Just because you're not at your goal weight, doesn't mean you have to stay here forever. Just because this wasn't "your year" doesn't mean it has to stay like this. The process is the only thing we can control. Sometimes the scale doesn't move. Sometimes it takes you longer than you thought it would. You have to marry the actions and divorce the results. Let's get into it!Irresistible Links

Are you putting your life on hold until you hit that magic number on the scale? In this episode of Irresistible You, I dive into the true costs of waiting for the weight. From wasting your potential behind the weight, and losing precious time, to living with regrets and settling for a mediocre life, the stakes are high and it's costing you something money could never buy. You know how I get when I'm on a tangent, and today's episode is full of colorful rantin' and ravin'... so pop in those earbuds and make sure no little ears are listening!Irresistible Links

The real growth happens on the journey, not at the final destination. There truly is no final destination when it comes to weight loss and personal development.  Thanksgiving is just days away and it's the perfect time to reflect not just on where you're going, but on how far you've come.Through the lens of the Irresistible You framework, we discuss how true transformation is about more than shedding pounds—it's about shedding the layers that hold you back from becoming the woman you were meant to be. This isn't about desperate diets or waiting for the weight; it's about embracing where you are right now and moving forward with intention and gratitude. PS: I'm SO thankful for YOU and all your support over the years! Happy Thanksgiving! Irresistible Links

This journey isn't just about shedding pounds—it's about confronting the deep-seated emotions and changes that come with transforming your body and mind. From the pain of losing long-time friends to the challenge of accepting newfound attention, we explore the less-discussed but profoundly impactful aspects of weight loss. We'll discuss why the mirror might not reflect your inner changes and how past bullying can taint your self-perception. Plus, we tackle the tough topic of body image dissonance—feeling disconnected from the reflection staring back at you. Whether you've experienced the fear of breaking chairs or struggled to accept compliments, this episode is for you. What You'll Learn in This Episode Learn how to handle shifts in friendships due to weight loss.Tips for dealing with new visibility and altered perceptions from others.Strategies for reconciling physical changes with mental self-image.Understand why accepting praise can be hard and how to do it confidently.Explore how to cope with the emotional letdown after reaching weight loss goals.Irresistible Links

We're getting real about one of the scariest parts of any weight loss journey: giving up on yourself. This episode dives deep into those haunting thoughts—the inner fat bitch, the self-doubt, and the voice in your head saying, “What's the point?” just because the scale isn't moving. Are you prepared to feel that disappointment, frustration, and discomfort all over again? Are you ready for your clothes to get tight and to dread looking in the mirror? If the answer is no, then it's time to show up for yourself and push through. If you've ever felt like throwing in the towel, this one's for you. It's time to break free from the ghosts of self-sabotage and show up for yourself, even when the journey feels hard as hell. 

In this episode, I'm diving into the idea that your body is your forever home. So many of us treat our bodies like a temporary rental, waiting to fully live until we lose weight or fit into the dream outfit. But here's the truth: If you're always waiting, you'll never feel settled. Just like a house that isn't perfect but has potential, your body deserves love and care—even if it's not where you want it to be right now.I'm sharing practical steps to start feeling at home in your skin, right now—no waiting required. If you've spent years obsessing over the scale or putting your life on hold, this episode is the wake-up call you need to create the life you crave today.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why waiting to feel good in your body is like treating it as a temporary rental.How to shift your mindset from “waiting” to “living.”Practical ways to start feeling comfortable in your skin right now, even if it's not perfect.The power of wearing what you love today instead of waiting for the “perfect” size.How treating your body with love helps you break free from the shame cycle and move forward.Irresistible Links

As we head into the last quarter of the year I want you to set yourself up for success so that you can say you know exactly where the time went. I'm giving you a step-by-step plan in this episode as we roll into the holiday season.

Once the year is gone, it's gone. How will you use the time you have?

I've officially arrived at ONEderland, and I'm taking you along for the ride in this week's episode!

Hi! I recorded this episode right before I went to the Touched by Type One conference in Orlando. I am talking about how your weight is literally the LEAST interesting thing about you. You are so much more than the number on the scale. It's time you start believing that too! Links Mentioned

I hope you can at least grab a gem or two from this one. Links Mentioned

Send me a Text! Stop asking people how much weight they've lost. Listen. I get it. Whenever we see someone losing weight or hear about them taking the GLP-1 injections, we want to know how much weight they've lost. Speaking from experience, I hate that question. Nobody ever asks if you've maintained or not gained. Nobody ever asks how you're feeling. Nobody ever asks how many inches you've lost or how many sizes you've gone down. Nobody asks if your inflammation went away. Nobody asks if your A1C and blood sugar are in a good range. Nobody asks how your mental health has improved.This episode is not to shame or knock anyone who has asked this question before. Hell, I've asked it before. It comes from the before-and-after diet culture mentality that we all grew up in. It comes from desperate dieting to get the weight off as quickly as possible. In this episode, I am talking about ALL of the other non-scale victories that happen and that matter even more than the pounds. Links Mentioned Subscribe to the podcast free with the Amazon Music app. Amazon Music provides Prime members with access to millions of songs, top podcasts, and thousands of playlists and Stations ad-free, included with Prime at no additional cost.

In this episode, we are exploring that and how to create the life you crave now in order to lose weight for the last time. Subscribe to the podcast free with the Amazon Music app. Amazon Music provides Prime members with access to millions of songs, top podcasts, and thousands of playlists and Stations ad-free, included with Prime at no additional cost.

I had a huge epiphany on spring break last week in the mountains. I realized that food just isn't as fun anymore since starting the Tirzepatide injections.

I'm not ready to spring forward . . . yet.   The recent time change got me thinking bout the phrase, "live each day like it's your last."

I have been feeling quite uninspired lately not just in weight loss, but in life. I think a lot of it was coming from the nonstop circus in the past week where I haven't had a break or time.
