Send a textThe word deserve sounds positive. Encouraging, even. But when it comes to weight loss and your relationship with food, it can quietly become one of the most dangerous words you use with yourself.In this episode, I'm talking about the language of deserving and how it can work both for you and against you.Feeling like you deserve better health, more mobility, and a body that supports the life you want can be incredibly powerful. But the same word can also become a justification for the very behaviours that undermine the progress you're trying to make.“I had a rough day. I deserve this.” “I've been good all week. I deserve a break.” “I'll skip tracking today. I deserve it.”The problem isn't the food. The problem is what this kind of thinking does to the trust you're building with yourself.Weight loss isn't just about changing your body. It's about building a new relationship with food and learning to trust your own decisions again. When you use “deserving” as a reason to undo the commitments you've made to yourself, you're quietly pulling apart the progress you've been working so hard to build.In this episode, Charlotte talks about how the language we use with ourselves can either support the work we're doing or slowly undermine it.You deserve to reach your goal. You deserve to build trust with yourself. And you deserve a relationship with food that actually brings you peace.But sometimes the most important question is this:What do you really deserve right now and in the long run?In This EpisodeWhy the word “deserve” can be both motivating and dangerousHow “I deserve this” often becomes a justification for self-sabotageThe connection between deserving language and self-trustWhy short-term rewards can undermine long-term goalsThe mental side of building a new relationship with foodHow to pause and question the stories you tell yourself about foodSupport the showLooking for help on your weight loss journey?

Send a textWelcome back to another Weight Loss Q&A. This is number 25, and we're covering metabolism myths, early weight loss expectations, TDEE confusion, food scales, and the question I still get almost daily: how I lost 201 pounds.There's science in here. There's myth-busting. There's practical advice. And there's a reminder that consistency will always beat extremes.If you've ever wondered whether you “ruined” your metabolism… or felt like a failure because you didn't drop huge numbers in week one… this episode is for you.In this episode, I talk about:Whether years of dieting permanently reset your caloric needsWhat research actually suggests about metabolic adaptationWhy shifts after major weight loss are real — but usually smaller than people fearHow to find your true maintenance calories after significant weight lossWhy TDEE calculators can't factor in your entire weight historyThe myth that you should lose big numbers at the start of a dietWhy crash dieting creates fast early dropsHow extreme calorie cuts affect the scale (and why they're hard to sustain)Why consistent weight loss beats aggressive restriction long termThe difference between BMR and TDEEWhy your TDEE should include exerciseWhy you don't “eat back” calories when you're using TDEE correctlyWhether you need a food scale to lose weightWhen eyeballing portions is enough and when precision mattersWhy calorie tracking accuracy is often the missing pieceHow I lost 201 pounds in just under two and a half yearsWhy calorie deficit was the real driverHow intermittent fasting worked for me (and why it wasn't magic)Why aligning your eating pattern with your natural tendencies can make weight loss easierWeight loss is not a straight line.Metabolism isn't broken it's adaptive.Extreme deficits create extreme results… temporarily.Calorie deficit is the mechanism. Everything else is a tool.Support the showLooking for help on your weight loss journey? I've created a couple of resources:• My NEW Membership Community Flamingo Forum!

Is War of the Worlds (2025) the worst Film ever or is it simply a soulless film about our capitalist hellscape of an existence?  Ice Cube plays a surveillance psycho hacking his daughter's fridge while data-eating aliens invade Earth through Microsoft Teams. We watched War of the Worlds (2025) so you don't have to—this screenlife disaster is 90 minutes of PS2 CGI, shameless Amazon product placement, and a plot dumber that feels like it's written by AI. What we're covering:   Ice Cube as the villain dad we root for the aliens to vaporize "Disruptor" the hacker son and the Goliath surveillance conspiracy  Amazon drones + a $1,000 gift card literally saving humanity  Pandemic screenlife excuses (Unfriended was better, fight me)  Why this soulless capitalist hellscape accidentally captures 2025 perfectly  Is it "so bad it's good" or just evil?

There's something running in the background of most homes with young children right now. Not something dramatic. Not something you'd even think to question.The TV. Just on. Nobody watching. Life happening around it.And after nearly four decades of clinical work with children and families — I can tell you that this one thing is quietly doing more damage to early development than most parents have ever been told.In this episode I walk you through five things the research tells us about background TV — and every single finding is specifically about ambient noise, not a child sitting and watching a screen.What you'll hear in this episode:The word gap — how background TV drops the words your child hears by nearly 70% per hour, and why that matters more than you think.Why it's not just quantity of language that drops — but quality. And what that means for your child's developing brain.What deep play actually looks like in a nine-month-old — and why background noise is quietly stealing it from your child without you ever noticing.The executive function connection — including what the research says about background TV, sleep, and the rising rates of ADHD in young children.Sensory processing — the history of how we got here, why "sensory kids" were never meant to be this common, and what I believe we owe these children.Plus — what about music? I answer the question I get asked most often, and give you real conditions for when it helps and when it doesn't.This is the episode I've wanted to record for years. I hope it changes how you hear your home.

We're back after a week away, diving into *Free Joby*, a documentary about early Bitcoin advocate Joby Weeks, who was arrested and later convicted on fraud-related charges tied to crypto promotions during the industry's chaotic early years. The film presents the case that he was made an example of — targeted as a disruptive figure in a space threatening traditional finance — rather than treated proportionately under the law. We explore the idea that when governments perceive someone as a threat, they neutralise first and justify later, asking whether this was prosecution for crime or punishment for disruption.

Send a textAt the beginning of this year, I found myself unexpectedly thrown by something simple, the “where I was 10 years ago” trend. And it surprised me. Not because I'm unhappy with where I am. Not because I'm disappointed in my trajectory. But because somewhere in there was this quiet voice asking: “Shouldn't you be over it by now?”This episode is about that voice.It's about the fear of being seen as whining.The fear of being seen as bragging.The fear of being “too much.”The fear of not being enough.It's about the long aftermath of survival, the surgeries, the rare complications, the setbacks, the recovery periods that stretched years beyond the original crisis.And it's about something bigger than all of that.Decision.Ten years ago, I didn't know how anything was going to unfold. I didn't know how I was going to give back. I didn't know how I was going to make my second chance matter.But I decided that I would.That's where this episode turns toward you.Because weight loss is the same.You don't start with certainty.You don't start with perfect belief.You don't start with the full roadmap.You start with a decision.From there, you build.And then comes the grinding.You repeat the behaviors that work.You stay consistent when it's boring.You show up when it's inconvenient.You keep going when it's slow.Losing 201 pounds wasn't dramatic or flashy.It was a two-and-a-half-year grind.And grinding can wear you down.But it also transforms you.Nobody wants whole peppercorns tossed on their pasta. The grind changes them into something usable. Something better.The grind is worth it.If you feel behind…If you think you should be further by now…If you're carrying something you feel like you should be “over”…You're not behind.You may just be in the build.Or in the grind.Either way, keep going.Decide.And then build and grind your way forward.Support the showLooking for help on your weight loss journey?

In this episode of ScaleUp Radio, Kevin Brent is joined by Jack Molyneux, Founder of IDOSY – a new digital marketplace set to disrupt the superyacht charter industry. Jack's journey is anything but conventional. From qualifying as a Master Mariner at just 26 and commanding cruise ships and superyachts around the world, to managing fleets of luxury yachts for a family office, and now launching the first live-booking superyacht platform – this is a true ScaleUp story grounded in deep operational credibility. IDOSY launches mid-April with a bold ambition: to bring live pricing, live availability and instant booking to a market that still runs on emails, brokers and PDF brochures. And yes – it is as complex as it sounds. Our discussion is structured in three parts. First, we explore the business, the model and where IDOSY sits on its ScaleUp journey. Second, we dig into Jack's views on the real challenges of scaling, including raising capital from industry insiders and navigating complex global regulations. And third, we close with a few quickfire questions. One standout message from this episode is this: if you are going to disrupt a market, you need deep operational understanding before you digitise it. Quick heads-up — we're looking for a handful of founders to test our new AI-powered Smart90 Lite app. It's built to help you stay accountable and actually deliver on your goals in just a few minutes a day. It's free while we're in testing, and your feedback will directly shape the final version. You can get access by emailing kevin@biz-smart.co.uk. Make sure you don't miss any future episodes by subscribing to ScaleUp Radio wherever you like to listen to your podcasts and why not give us a follow. For now, continue listening for the full discussion with Jack.   Scaling up your business isn't easy, and can be a little daunting. Let ScaleUp Radio make it a little easier for you. With guests who have been where you are now, and can offer their thoughts and advice on several aspects of business. ScaleUp Radio is the business podcast you've been waiting for.

Bart Smith spotlights the market repricing of AI, arguing that we're a “good bit away” from the end of volatility. He compares the notion of AI as a disruptor vs an enabler, and how that helps sort out the winners and losers. Bart focuses on how AI could impact banking, and where the sector could see improvements. The “most critical threat” banks face is credit, Bart says, pointing to private credit woes that could spill over.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

EPISODE 237 Are You a Disruptor? Many people feel the word disruptor used to belong exclusively to Silicon Valley. It described founders who overturned industries, rewrote business models, and rendered legacy systems obsolete, such as Bill Gates with Microsoft Windows, Steve Jobs with the iPhone, Elon Musk with SpaceX and Tesla and others. What Is a Disruptor, Really? At its core, disruption is not chaos. It is intentional pattern interruption. A disruptor identifies an entrenched framework then challenges it. In business, that might mean replacing physical stores with e-commerce such as what Amazon.com did. In personal growth, being a disruptor means replacing inherited beliefs with consciously chosen ones. Personal disruptors are individuals who transform their identity, habits, and trajectory.  A Practical Framework for Personal Disruption If you want to operate as a personal disruptor in your own life, apply this structured approach: Creating and using a new disruptive framework will create a significant positive impact in your own life.

Send a textWelcome back to Weight Loss Wednesday. In episode 160, I'm answering your questions about consistency with accountability, calorie perspective, low TDEE fears, sweeteners, managing sweets and chips as a diabetic, and flavour drops for water. This episode is practical, direct, and a reminder that weight loss works best when you build it in a way that actually fits your real life.What I cover in this episode:• Why accountability starts with awareness and acknowledgement, not willpower• The 3A Way framework and how skipping the middle step sabotages consistency• Why you cannot successfully hold yourself accountable to something you refuse to fully admit is happening• How to make accountability easier• Why consistency is incremental and does not require perfection• Why calories are relative• How your starting point changes what “high” or “low” calorie really means• Concerns about having a low TDEE and fearing extremely low maintenance calories at goal weight• The difference between deficit calories and maintenance calories• Why setting your app to lose two pounds per week may be cutting your calories too aggressively• How to use a TDEE calculator to project realistic maintenance numbers• My honest thoughts on sweeteners and why I consider them a useful tool• The reality behind the aspartame fear headlines• How I manage sweets and chips as a diabetic without eliminating them• Why I don't eat from the bag and how being selective helps control both calories and blood sugar• My take on water flavour drops and why they are not “cheating”This episode is a reminder that accountability is built, not flipped on like a switch, that calories are contextual, that tools are meant to be used and that consistency is not about being perfect, it is about continuing.If you have a question you'd like answered on a future Weight Loss Wednesday, please send it in.

Send a textLast week we started digging into the weight loss truths that made people the most upset. Today, we're continuing that conversation.Some of these didn't surprise me. Some absolutely did. But if something makes people angry, that usually means it's worth talking about.So let's keep going.In this episode, I tackle four more weight loss truths that stirred up strong reactions:Emotional hunger is realCarbs and fat don't make you fatProtein is not a magic weight loss bulletYou do not have to exercise to lose weightWe're unpacking why these ideas make people uncomfortable, where the confusion comes from, and what actually matters if you're trying to lose significant weight.We talk about:Emotional hunger You're not imagining it. Emotional hunger is real. Everyone eats for emotional reasons. The difference isn't whether it exists, it's how it shows up in your life and how you manage it.Carbs, fat, and the calorie conversation It's not the macro. It's the calories. Your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) determines whether you maintain, lose, or gain weight. Eat consistently below it and you lose. Eat above it and you gain. Carbs and fat aren't villains. Surplus calories are.Protein and the myth of the magic fix Protein helps with satiety. It's important. It's useful. It is not magic. It cannot override a calorie surplus. If you're trying to lose a large amount of weight, mastering your calories matters more than perfecting your macros.Exercise and weight loss This one always stirs the pot. Exercise is wonderful for mobility, health, and longevity. But it is not required for weight loss. Controlling your intake is what drives fat loss. For many people, believing they must exercise creates a barrier so big that they never start. That lie does more damage than good.We also talk about:The danger of “earning” food through workoutsFitness tracker inaccuraciesDouble dipping exercise caloriesThe mindset trap of “I deserve this”Why significant weight loss is different from losing 5 to 10 poundsSupport the showLooking for help on your weight loss journey?

How do you begin to disrupt the toxic family patterns you experienced as a child? What do you do with the dissonance between the outward appearance of your life and the reality of what was?For Amy Duggar King, life was lived in two very different worlds. One appeared happy and carefree, marked by regular appearances on her extended family's reality TV show, **19 Kids and Counting**. The other was dark and frightening, shaped by toxic narcissistic patterns and abuse that she and her mother endured at home with her father. As Amy grew older, she began to recognize that the abuse she experienced in her family of origin was not isolated.

Send a textWelcome back to Weight Loss Wednesday. In episode 158, I'm answering your questions on motivation, calorie adjustments, intuitive eating, exercise, comparison, and a very real conversation about loose skin and visibility. This episode is honest, practical, and a reminder that you do not need expensive tools, perfect circumstances, or anyone's approval to lose weight.What I cover in this episode:• How to stay motivated when you're comparing yourself to people with personal trainers, medications, or resources you don't have• Why you do not need money, coaching, or exercise to lose weight• How comparison can quietly turn into self-sabotage and how to spot it• How often to adjust your calorie target and when to recalculate your TDEE• Whether calorie tracking apps automatically adjust your numbers• Why I switched from regular cola to Diet Coke and eventually Coke Zero• Managing calories and blood sugar without giving up the things you enjoy• My honest thoughts on intuitive eating and why it was not a weight loss strategy for me• When, or if, exercise played a role in my 200-pound weight loss• Why exercise can be a barrier and why it does not have to be part of weight loss• Addressing comments about loose skin, visibility, and why I choose not to hide it• Why I am not ashamed of my body, before or after weight loss• A reminder that weight loss is a solo pursuit and you are capable of doing this on your ownThis episode is a reminder that you can lose weight with the tools you already have, that perfection is not required, and that your body does not need to be hidden to be worthy of respect.If you have a question you'd like answered on a future Weight Loss Wednesday, please send it in.

Send us a textLast summer, I released the 101 Weight Loss Truths series and a lot of you found it helpful, but some of those truths made people very angry. So today, I'm starting a new series where I revisit the weight loss truths that caused the most controversy and explain why I still stand by them.In this episode, I break down the first group of truths that triggered the strongest reactions and some very intense emails. We're going through them in order and unpacking why these ideas matter, even when they're uncomfortable.⚪ Losing a lot of weight vs losing a little and why they are not the same journey⚪ Why pretending all weight loss is the same actually harms people with more weight to lose⚪ Why tracking after you eat is journaling, not active tracking⚪ How passive tracking quietly sabotages progress⚪ Why there are no good or bad foods when it comes to weight loss⚪ How food labels create guilt, restriction, and self-sabotage⚪ Why weight loss is not a willpower problem⚪ Why small, incremental changes are more powerful than extreme overhauls⚪How long-term success requires patience, grace, and honestyThis episode is direct and confrontational at times, on purpose. These truths aren't meant to shame or pressure you. They're meant to challenge the ideas that keep people stuck in the cycle of losing and regaining weight.If this episode makes you uncomfortable or even angry, that reaction might be worth paying attention to. There's usually something important hiding underneath it.This is the first episode in a multi-part series. I'll be back next week with more of the truths that caused the biggest backlash.Support the showLooking for help on your weight loss journey?

Health care inclusivity is more than a framework, it's a daily practice that shapes learning, teamwork, and patient outcomes. In this episode of HPNA's Palliative Perspective, Jill, Vanessa, and Jenn—longtime collaborators in nursing professional development and creators of Disruptor Diaries—explore what health care inclusivity truly means across education, clinical practice, and the workforce.  Drawing from lived experience in cardiovascular, neuro-trauma ICU, emergency nursing, home health, and hospice and palliative care, the guests discuss inclusive and active learning environments, the importance of belonging, and how thoughtful, aware interactions can transform both professional development and patient care. They also share the “why” behind their self-published learning guide Healthcare Education: Strategies for Inclusive Learning, created to fill a critical gap in healthcare education during a complex political and organizational landscape.  This conversation invites listeners of all roles to reflect: Am I creating an inclusive environment?

Send us a textYou really can do this and today I'm going to tell you how I know that. I spent years genuinely trying to lose weight without understanding calories, food density, or what actually puts you into a deficit. It was the little things that added up for me, what I call “spread, sprinkle, pour”. Condiments, dressings, and extras were quietly doing more damage than the meals themselves. They were quietly pushing me into massive calorie overload without me realizing it.We dig into why most diets fail, not because you failed, but because they never taught mindset, relationship with food, or how weight loss actually works. I explain why lumping every past attempt into one big “I can't do this” story keeps you stuck, and how separating each try helps release shame and frustration instead of piling it higher and higher I also talk about:• Why finding something that actually works makes it easier to keep going• How small wins build momentum and confidence• The difference between fear that's hypothetical and fear that wakes you up into action• Why awareness is one of the biggest game changers in weight loss• How changing your relationship with food matters more than any diet planMost importantly, I remind you that trying isn't failing, stopping doesn't erase progress, and you don't have to get it perfect to get it done.You don't need willpower.You don't need another diet.You need a system that works and a mindset that supports you.Support the showLooking for help on your weight loss journey?

In this deeply human and inspiring conversation, Bart sits down with Dr. Eric Fishon — author, educator, disability advocate, and nonprofit leader — to explore the lived reality of unseen disabilities and the power of advocacy, empathy, and inclusion. Dr. Eric shares his journey from a successful corporate career in customer experience and organizational culture to discovering his diagnoses of narcolepsy, chronic fatigue, ADHD, anxiety, and depression later in life. What followed was not an ending, but a reinvention. Through his Doctor Disruptor platform, Xtermigator Kids, and his work with the Invisible Disabilities Association, Dr. Eric is helping individuals and families understand that disability is not inabilityand that different is, in fact, beautiful.Major Takeaways / LearningsUnseen disabilities are real — even when others can't see them. Validation can be life‑changing.Diagnosis brings clarity, not limitation. Knowing what you're dealing with opens the door to tools, accommodations, and self‑compassion.It's okay to not be okay. Giving yourself grace is a critical step toward healing and growth.Advocacy often begins with personal struggle. Dr. Eric turned his own challenges into a mission to help others.Accommodations are not special treatment — they're access. Education and workplaces still have work to do.Helping others creates purpose and fulfillment. Service can be as powerful as medicine.Technology and AI can be equalizers. The right tools help people with limited energy amplify their impact.Disability does not define your ceiling. With support, inclusion, and understanding, potential expands.Memorable Quotes“It's okay to not be okay.”“Disability is not an inability — it can be your greatest superpower.”“Those letters after your name mean nothing if you're not helping someone behind you.”“Helping others gives a high no medicine can replace.”“Never forget where you've been — and turn around to help someone else get there.” Why It Matters / How to Use ItThis episode is a powerful reminder that many of the struggles people carry are invisible, and that empathy, awareness, and inclusion are leadership skills, not extras. Dr. Eric Fishon's story offers hope to anyone who has felt misunderstood, dismissed, or alone in their challenges. Whether you're living with an unseen disability, supporting someone who is, or leading a team, this conversation encourages you to ask for help, give grace, and use your experiences to lift others. It's a call to redefine success, not by what we overcome alone, but by how we help others rise with us.

Send us a textIn this week's Weight Loss Wednesday, I'm answering a mix of very practical food questions and much bigger mindset struggles that so many of us deal with during weight loss and maintenance.We talk about food benders and what to do when you're already in the middle of one, why guilt and shame keep us stuck, and how the way you talk to yourself while eating can either help you slow down or send things completely off the rails.I also answer questions about hunger, calorie timing, high-volume low-calorie foods, fibre, water, and how to stay satisfied when you're working with a limited calorie budget.Plus, there are a few random questions thrown in, because those are always welcome.In this episode, I talk about:How to interrupt a food bender while it's happeningAsking “what do I want more?” as a way to pause overeatingThe guilt and shame spiral and how it fuels unnecessary eatingFeeling hungry even after hitting your calorie limitHow calorie timing affects satisfactionPhysical hunger vs emotional hunger and why both matterHigh-volume low-calorie foods that actually helpFibre and water and their role in satietyWhy eating food you don't like is unnecessary eatingWeight loss doesn't require perfection. It requires awareness, honesty, and habits you can actually live with.Support the showLooking for help on your weight loss journey?

Send us a textA quiet glow at midnight can echo through your biology like a shout. We dig into new research showing that even modest night light is tied to higher risks of heart failure, atrial fibrillation, stroke, and coronary disease—and we connect the dots to circadian rhythm, metabolism, and the choices we make at home every evening. This isn't fearmongering; it's a roadmap for reclaiming sleep, stabilizing blood pressure, and improving insulin sensitivity with tools you already have.We break down how light at night elevates stress hormones, flattens the nocturnal blood pressure dip, and disrupts the cellular repair that should dominate while you sleep. We also unpack a striking analysis of more than 130,000 adults with insomnia: chronic melatonin users were significantly more likely to be hospitalized for heart failure and faced higher all-cause mortality compared with matched non-users. The signal is associative, but the magnitude invites caution and a rethink. Instead of flooding the brain with a nightly dose, we focus on rebuilding your own melatonin through light timing: bright and blue by day, warm and dim by night, and truly dark for sleep.You'll leave with a simple, science-backed plan. Step outside for morning light to anchor your clock. Two hours before bed, step down brightness and remove blue wavelengths—aim for about one lux, roughly a moonlit room. Use warm 2700K bulbs, dimmers, and screen night modes from sunset to sunrise. Align meals with daylight, avoid late-night snacking, and give your nervous system a real off switch. Small changes to photons can nudge hormones, vessels, and mitochondria in the right direction within weeks.If this conversation sparks an “aha,” share it with a friend who struggles with sleep, hit follow for more science-backed self-care, and leave a quick review to help others find the show.

Keisha also shares why building an independent practice gave her the freedom to speak truth, walk away from misaligned money, and practice HR with values... not fear.

Send us a textIn this Weight Loss Wednesday, I answer your questions about food addiction, mindset struggles, calorie adjustments, water intake, body image changes, and what happens when you regain.We talk about the thoughts that get in the way of weight loss and how to challenge them, why labeling food as an addiction can sometimes make things harder, and how to work with your body instead of fighting it.Topics I'm covering include:Food addiction vs emotional attachment to foodHow to approach mental roadblocks with curiosity instead of self-criticismWhy thoughts are not facts and how to question long-held beliefsHow fast to cut calories and why slow, incremental changes matterWhat my own calorie reductions looked like at different weightsWhy baseline tracking is important before making changesHow much water women are generally recommended to drinkWhy losing weight but feeling like you look bigger is very commonWhy before and after photos are less helpful than progress photosHow long it took me to regain and then lose the weight againHow health, fear, mobility, and vanity all play a role in my motivationWhy wanting to like the way you look is normal and not something to be ashamed ofWeight loss is not about doing everything perfectly. It is about learning how to question the stories you tell yourself, making changes you can sustain, and continuing even when it feels uncomfortable.Support the showLooking for help on your weight loss journey?

Send us a textIn this week's Weight Loss Wednesday, I'm answering another round of listener questions covering intermittent fasting, tracking progress when you're building muscle, calorie tracking apps, compression garments, macro myths, before and after photos, and whether weighing food in grams actually matters.If you're feeling overwhelmed by conflicting weight loss advice or worried you're making things harder than they need to be, this episode will help you reset and refocus.In this episode, I talk about:What intermittent fasting actually looks like in real life and why I don't recommend starting with extreme fasting windows Why an eating window is a more helpful mindset than the word “fasting” How to track progress when the scale isn't moving because you're gaining muscle Why a pound of muscle and a pound of fat weigh the same and what really changes is volume Other ways to measure progress besides the scale, including measurements, photos, strength, and daily functionMy preferred calorie tracking apps and what to look for when choosing one How to find your calorie needs using TDEE and why it's important to double check what your app is telling you Why cutting calories too aggressively often leads to burnout and quitting The importance of sustainable calorie deficits instead of “starting with a bang”Compression garments, what I wear, why I love them, and how they help with comfort, warmth, and confidence after major weight loss Why lower calorie does not automatically mean higher carbs Why macro ratios matter far less for weight loss than diet culture wants you to believeA candid discussion about before and after photos and mental health Why weight loss and mental health are deeply connected Whether weighing food in grams matters, when it helps, and when it's not necessary How to approach tracking in a way that meets you where you are instead of overwhelming youSupport the showLooking for help on your weight loss journey?

Send us a textWelcome to the first Weight Loss Wednesday of the year. This episode is packed with listener questions, and we cover a lot of ground. If you're feeling worn down by diet culture, confused about calorie deficits, or frustrated by emotional eating, you're not alone and this episode is for you.I start by talking about how years of dieting and yo-yo weight loss can damage our habits and our relationship with food. I explain what we actually know about metabolism shifts, what we don't know yet, and why blaming yourself for a “broken metabolism” is not helpful. We dig into emotional eating through my comfort, reward, and cope framework. I explain how habit eating fits into all three and why emotional eating isn't just about stress or sadness. Happiness, excitement, boredom, anxiety, and even anticipation of loss can all drive eating. Learning why you're eating is the first step, because you can't change what you can't see.I answer a big question that comes up all the time. Is it possible to lose weight without a calorie deficit? And is there a way to be in a deficit without tracking calories every single day?We also talk about intermittent fasting. I share practical tips for getting started without making massive changes, how to find your current eating window, how to tighten it gradually, and why flexibility matters.What to do when you end the day under your calorie target but you're not hungry. I explain when it's okay to leave calories on the table, how to zoom out and look at patterns over several days, and how weekly calories can be used as a tool without turning into planned binge eating.We talk about hormonal hunger and what to do when appetite spikes around your cycle. I share how different weeks can balance each other out, how to honor your body, and how to stay on track without punishing yourself.I also address the idea that sugar is the real problem when it comes to weight loss. I explain why calories are the driver, why sugar is not the villain, and why the vilification of fruit needs to stop.Finally, I answer a personal question about how I chose the name Disrupting Obesity. I talk about the challenges of language in the weiSupport the showLooking for help on your weight loss journey? I've created a couple of resources:• My NEW Membership Community Flamingo Forum!

Send us a textToday I am talking about New Year New You. Yes, I know that phrase makes some of us twitch, but since it shows up everywhere this time of year, we need to talk about it.I actually love the New Year. I love the excitement, the fresh calendar energy, and the feeling that something good might be possible. But when you are trying to lose weight and change your relationship with food, this time of year can be loaded with pressure, unrealistic expectations, and traps that lead straight to burnout.In this episode, I break down why New Year resolutions fail so often and why the problem is not you. Most resolutions are built on pressure, promises we already doubt, and cultural permission to quit by February. That is not a setup for success. That is a setup for shame.Instead of making big dramatic promises, I talk about why small incremental changes matter more than motivation, willpower, or perfection. This is about consistency, sustainability, and making things easier instead of harder.We also get into it about food rules. Cutting out sugar, entire food groups, or anything that was not hand picked by a monk at sunrise is usually a fast track to discouragement. I explain why reducing something slowly works better than eliminating it overnight and why adding food can be more powerful than restricting it.I also address food privilege, affordability, and the toxic idea that you can only be healthy if you eat expensive or organic foods. Calories do not know how much your groceries cost, and shame has never helped anyone lose weight. Ever.Yes, we talk brownies. Yes, we talk about eating the whole pan. Yes, we talk about portion sizes being relative and why I now give calorie counts for the entire recipe instead of imaginary serving sizes. Because real people live in real bodies, and judgment does not belong here.This episode is about starting the year without lying to yourself, without punishing yourself, and without pretending you are suddenly a different person because the date changed.You do not need resolutions. You need resolve.This is your year. And it's mine too.Support the showLooking for help on your weight loss journey? I've created a couple of resources:• My NEW Membership Community Flamingo Forum!

After nearly 200,000 cold calls and a million auto-dialer calls, Stephen Oommen discovered something shocking: 98% of his revenue came from warm referrals. Today, he breaks down how sellers can turn relationships into predictable growth. In this episode, host Lyndsay Dowd sits down with Stephen Oommen, a 25-year go-to-market veteran, speaker, and author of the upcoming book The Referral Effect. Stephen shares why nearly 98% of his business revenue came from warm referrals, despite making hundreds of thousands of cold calls throughout his career. Stephen opens up about growing up as the child of immigrants in Oklahoma, navigating an identity crisis that ultimately became his superpower—the Chameleon Effect—his ability to adapt, connect, and create trust across any environment. That skill later became the foundation for his referral-based sales methodology. You'll learn: - Why executives don't respond to cold outreach—and what they do respond to - How to close the trust gap by scaling warm referrals - The "Magic Networking Question" that instantly upgrades your network - The 99 and 1 Principle for managing energy in sales and relationships - How leaders can balance intensity, kindness, and long-term legacy If you're a B2B seller, founder, GTM leader, or executive tired of low-yield outreach, this conversation will challenge how you think about networking, sales culture, and growth.

Send us a textIn this Weight Loss Wednesday episode, I stay firmly in the holiday spirit and tackle the most common weight loss questions people ask in December. I asked ChatGPT what women are most concerned about this time of year, and honestly, the questions were spot on. They are the same ones I see every single holiday season.I start with the big one. Should you even try to lose weight in December? I explain why continuing to try matters far more than seeing the scale move, and how sticking with your plan during hard seasons builds trust with yourself. December is not a free pass. Life does not suddenly get easier in January, and learning to keep going when things are messy is part of changing your relationship with food.I also talk about whether maintaining your weight over the holidays can be a win. For many people, eating at maintenance on big holiday days is a smart and strategic safety net. Maintaining is not failure. It is a skill, and it is always better than walking into January feeling defeated and frustrated.From there, I walk through how to handle holiday parties without undoing your progress. The strategies are not new or special just because it is December. The days all end in Y, and the same tools you use the rest of the year still apply. I share practical ways to stay present and mindful at parties, including why I do not eat standing up, why I avoid eating straight from the spread, and how paying attention to food actually increases satisfaction.I also address how to enjoy holiday foods without spiraling or binging. Having a little on purpose can be far more effective than trying to abstain completely. I explain the difference between being present with food and being mindful about the thoughts you have while eating it, and why both matter if you want to avoid unnecessary eating.Alcohol comes up too, because of course it does. I talk honestly about calories, controlling the mix, and why the bigger risk with drinking is often not the alcohol itself but the food decisions that follow. I share why having safety nets in place ahead of time can make a huge difference.I wrap up by reminding you that this is not last year.

Amy Duggar King is an author, entrepreneur, and television personality from TLC's 19 Kids and Counting. She grew up side-by-side with the Duggars, spent years inside the world the public only saw on TV, and has since become a bold advocate for healing, truth-telling, and breaking generational cycles. We dive into Amy's book, Holy Disruptor, where she reveals the secrets, manipulation, and gaslighting she endured inside the Duggar world and in her own home. She talks honestly about being labeled “Crazy Cousin Amy,” the trauma she carried off-camera, and what it took to finally step into freedom. Amy opens up about her relationship with her grandfather, an emotionally abusive father, and what life was really like on the show. She shares what it was like to live through the fallout of her cousin Josh's scandals and arrest, the pressure to stay silent, and the cost of finally using her own voice. Most powerfully, Amy shares how she has held onto Jesus through everything. How she rebuilt her faith after being hurt by Christians, and why disrupting deception can be a deeply holy act.
